5th Quarter | Southern vs. LSU 2022

[@clemusjohnson7858]

big respect to LSU because I didnt expect this 5th to be that interesting. A PWI/HBCU 5th quarter cross over is epic

[@chickmagnet225713]

Yo I was there from start to finish. In the words of my daughter who is 13 & seeing SU & LSU for the first time. She said Southern takes your breath away. Its not the fact that they are extremely loud but each section sounds like 1 horn. She also said that SU plays every note like they saying it with their chest.

[@jasonjarvis5290]

Wow, this is truly an advanced observation. I can definitely see musicianship in her future! Having been born and raised in Louisiana, both bands are like home to me. Both institutions have a distinct culture that brings together both communities. Truly an historical event!

[@allenhudson4975]

I must admit, LSU truly surprised me. They were clean, and balanced throughout for the most part. Technically, very sound. But when SU played, you coul literally feel their entire being, in every note. It certainly comes from a different place, one band (LSU) predominantly the art form, the other (SU), heart, soul, life experiences, history, projection for the future, all combined with yet a technically balanced sound.

@Barbara Lynn Your uninformed. Lsu has a culture vulture imitating HBCU bands. Ever heard "OFTEN IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED" please spare me the propaganda your spewing. Only pwi I know that has a black band director is lsu. Do you really think that these pwi's want a band director that will change their culture? Do you really think that will be the norm. Your friend is a puppet just like Lsu's president. They are no more than a body for a photo op. No decision making authority none what so ever. They are there due to poor race relations at lsu as well as the city of BR. Not sure where u got ur data regarding the payment for hbcu bands. If you knew anything about SU, we were and will continue to be fine without the 💵 from a PWI. Not sure what HBCU band directors your referring to in regards to pay. I know SU, Jackson St, Grambling, Alcorn compensate the directors well. If lsu could take SU band and any other band and make it their own you probably be the 1st in line to give it to them.

PERFECT STADIUM FOR SOUND!!!

[@ljsmixbox44]

Not really because SU was much lower to the ground. The higher you are.. the further the sound will travel especially in a big Stadium like LSU. But last week you didn't see FSU low like Southern was. It was more of a balance sound for both bands. For th LSUis game..you didn't see LSU band low to the ground as SU. So that would make an imbalanced Other than that, it was an easy day for the Jukebox.

[@jamesyourse6611]

I will say one thing. LSU is the only PWI that could go against Southern. A lot of that has to do with the Louisiana Culture. Their musicianship kept them from being embarrassed. Their arrangements were way beyond schools like Ohio state and Michigan. There are a lot of independent arrangers who sell arrangements and LSU is nice. They can play with Southern Cal who is real nice BUT Southerns arrangements to me ,when it comes to R&B are the best in Marching Band and the Dolls stepped up the groove with the Routine tonite.

Break Bread by LSU was lit and I take my hat off to them…🌹🌹🌹

[@blacknloud4002]

This game, Especially the Band performances has done More for improving Race Relations than the last two presidents Combined! GREAT JOB BY BOTH BANDS! I LOVE BOTH BANDS! Many Months Later and I Am STILL Enjoying This One! THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED IN THAT ONE!💯❤️

I remember back in the day in the 90's there was a time where big white school bands didn't respect HBCU bands. They would say we were too loud and not precise on the field, but we ALWAYS owned halftime when we showed up in their stadiums and the crowd loved it. It's interesting to see them do joint performances, play signature songs in our library and even start to sound like us now. Even though we didn't seek respect, the culture has shown to get it anyway. Eargasms from both sides..this was a nice 5th quarter!

[@1970sBestMusic]

Truth! Believe that the racists on the LSU sites were still disrespecting SU pregame! Many LSU fans were saying that si nce this game was scheduled up until SU "tore a hole in their a** on national television last night!!

[@michaelpinell1861]

It wasn’t the lack of respect, it was the unknown on BOTH sides of trying to compare the 2 differing styles. Those fiberglass sousaphones sounded awful. The full sounds of brass changed the sound of HBCU bands for the better.

​@@michaelpinell1861it was definitely a lack of respect we are talking about Louisiana here lol

[@jaylinpoplar6380]

Louisiana musical culture is strong in this 5th!!!! 💪🏾 🔥

[@jaylinpoplar6380]

I prefer FSU "swag surf" tho 😂

[@dirtydan1961]

This is the first I've heard about the bands staying for a "battle of the bands" after the game. The half time show featured both bands on the field performing together. It was an amazing night in Baton Rouge and I hope those football games between Southern and LSU become a tradition.

[@princemwamba5230]

Happens damn near every game in the swac hell it's a battle before the game even starts sometimes

[@mikecole2837]

I'm a fan of both styles. SU has a ton more energy than LSU but their drum line is not nearly as tight. The song selections are much better than LSU for sure. LSU is A LOT more dynamic and has better tone in general. But that's mainly because SU is at full tilt 100% of the time which is more exciting. Love to see it.

[@rckn-rndlwestvirginiarc4388]

I'm a college drummer from back in 81.....I agree, and that's why I gave the 1st round to LSU. There were sections in SU's 1st selection where I thought the drum line sounded confused and garbled....but still, the Jukebox is, and will always be my favorite band

[@princemwamba5230]

Su never been known for their drumline that's their weak link

[@DemarcusBaylor]

Both bands sound great 👍😃

[@tavarespoe743]

I never comment but lsu surprised me good job!! But Su is getting back aggressive 💪💪💯

[@StrengthCourageWisdom]

I love the ending. GREAT JOB to BOTH Bands

[@zooloco3920]

It is because of music that two different cultures and worlds have collided in perfect harmony.

[@Marcusc20091]

Moonlight at the da end sheesh 🔥🔥

[@sandiebaylor6656]

This band is fantastic! The precision, the choreography, the dancers, but most of all the sound. Magnificent!❤❤❤❤

[@MrYungfras]

Being a Louisianan this didn't surprise me. LSU will play Neck if you not careful. They can't hang with the jukebox but they'll mop the floor with other PWI bands!

[@barronvisuals]

Battle of the Blue Sto 🥴😮‍💨👏🏽

[@williamjames6495]

Facts😂😂

[@joep5815]

SU band can't be stopped. Hands down.

[@ntwadumela1777]

That's it

[@DarrylPerson]

Man LSU said don't let that "marching style fool ya"! We ain't that far from plank road....we can get with you if needed. Big props to LSU but SU goodness 🔥🚒 I was waiting for SU to play neck and turn the stadium crazy...

[@ashleymeggan]

They STARTED out with Neck. So, despite the longstanding issue of LSU not being allowed to play Neck, SEC Network was playing the actual track before every break.

[@creolenolamix1164]

@@ashleymeggan Girl stop it. LSU know better not to play that water down NECK at SU!! SU let them know real quick. Don't even try it with us.

[@DarrylPerson]

I seen the footage of they playing neck and you could hear the crowd singing lol!!!!!

[@jaquayhills6577]

Now lsu gonna call all SEC school and start a 5th quarter after all their games … I guarantee it 😂

[@mceasermcmc]

I agree with you on that 😂🤣
