Okay OW showing out in Keenan's gym as they come from the world of corps style bands. Great to see how OW's band has evolved over the yrs because when we were N school, the band couldn't play the kind of music they fantasically displayed at this gym battle. I can say though that when we were in school the band was almost triple the size it is today. Keenan has a nice band as well, if they had numbers like OW they could rival some of these small college bands. 2 different styles, but OW won this.

[@johanwallace73]

Where is the rest of the Band!!

[@blkplaya9891]

They didn't take any of FAMU's music, because doesn't own any of the songs OW played. FAMU may play some of them - the only familiar one FAMU always play is Say La La - but they (FAMU) don't own them. Pass the Peas, by the way, is an SCSU spirit song.

[@600dollors]

[@blkplaya9891]

Orangeburg, South Carolina.

[@Equadore]

Its a high school band....not just a high school band a corps style high school band.

[@blkplaya9891]

Same place as the SCSU Marching 101!

[@lukerodriguez9228]

both band sound nasty

[@nacarioshields7862]

As a member of OW Orange Pride band I think we did great. Especially our drumline. We could've played much louder but "quality over quantity" Keenan did great in my opinion but need more balance and toning. We really do need more bottom lol.like two more drops

[@ianalford4634]

7:52 was when shit was about to get real

[@blkplaya9891]

No one argued that you couldn't state it (your opinion). Opinions are like behinds....everybody has one. So when you state and others disagree, then they will state theirs to rebut yours like I did because as you stated, I have the right to do so.

[@blkplaya9891]

The Corp Style bands play with a little discipline than the Show Bands like Keenan, Eau Claire, etc. and focus is not some on blowing or cranking.

[@ch5754]

U hear dat drumline

[@cadraloves8480]

well these are songs we feel as though are fun its not about how you feel... our hometown loves us and apparently any other normal city that likes TRUE MUSIC loves us... if your real definition of "true music" is two chains or sosa or genres of that sort than i suggest you get your musical priorities correct... thank you.

[@MsAhs2012]

OW got this hands down! Keenan needs to work on their tone. OW needs to work on their dancers but the sound is there. OW has the potential of being compared to some collegiate marching bands! Keep up the work OW!

[@cadraloves8480]

duh turn down for what?

[@thax313]

Keenan tubas was da only thing I liked bout dey band: btones overblowing, trumpets attempting to scream and jst no balance with da band and drumline...OW had only small problems but overall very precise and clean performance for a core style band but once again the trumpets need to stop trying to scream it ain't workin out for yah

[@haynesj2010]

idk wtf was goin on with keenan ow shuldve battled da high

[@daniela.myersii7924]

22:30 Keenan's tone was..shitty smh ! Both bands have tone issues but of course #OrangePride won this one !

[@blkplaya9891]

Perhaps "more bottom" is not their style.

[@almaerwin9047]

we rooted for OW keenan gets no love

[@LegacyNation]

too much moving on smash

[@daniela.myersii7924]

bob marley

[@ImmortalxGene]

OW sound trashy.. its something called "tone". try it

[@terrancebooker9803]

Weak

[@Chainzization]

Corp style bands like OW is wack, they don't get crunk and have fun, just play boring songs

[@BandLandTV2019]

We crank now 🌚

[@jerryfreeman569]

It doesn't do any good to be a big band and not have sound and tone
