[@salifuu]

Man I have to give this battle to TXSU, 8-4. The Ocean had three major strengths this battle: song selection, battle strategy and arrangement quality. Even with SU at a slight disadvantage in terms of playing order, when you look back at the battle overall, TXSU's catalog was more diverse and crowd friendly. Look at a round like the first where they pull Brandy out of the gate, or round 3 where they meet a viral tiktok song with one of Usher's biggest hits. TXSU also weaponized that material against SU in a more strategic way, for example, in round 9 when SU pulled out "Back at One" by Brian McKnight. That arrangment by SU is gorgeous and was beautifully executed, but The Ocean didn't even give the audience a chance to fully take it in because on "4" they were already cranking out "We Taking Over." The last major note I want to make is about arrangement quality. Both bands matched intensity throughout the duration of the battle, but there was only one round where SU's selection completely powered over TXSU and that was round 7. But even with the noticeable difference in size between the two bands, TXSU met SU with a comprable level of intensity. In some rounds I would even say they outplayed SU simply because Brian Simmons and Juvon Pollard are arrranging some FREAKY ASS SHIT over there for The Ocean. I think SU is an example that at a certain point, volume maxes out year over year despite the number of people in the program, and everything else will eventually be forced to come down to the writing. With that said, SU's trumpets are beasts. TXSU's euphoniums, mellos and bones are a problem and whoever arranges over there knows it and uses it to their advantage. TXSU's start to the '22-23 season is inspirational and other developing programs should study their past three seaons at least. Here's my votes round for round: Round 1 SU- Eye of the Tiger TXSU- I Wanna Be Down (Brandy) ✅ Round 2 SU- Put On A Smile (Silk Sonic) TXSU- Signs of Lovemaking (Tyrese) ✅ Round 3 SU- I Will Be One of the Greatest (Bankroll.mic) TXSU- You Don’t Have to Call (Usher) ✅ Round 4 SU- (Unknown) TXSU- Walk Right Now ✅ Round 5 SU- Unknown ✅ TXSU- Unknown Round 6 SU- Skin I’m In ✅ TXSU- Unknown Round 7 SU- Unknown ✅ TXSU- Unknown Round 8 SU- Unknown TXSU- Cherish the Day (Sade) ✅ Round 9 SU- Back At One TXSU- We Taking Over ✅ Round 10 SU- Ready or Not ✅ TXSU- Georgy Porgy Round 11 SU- Clips and Choppers TXSU- Unknown ✅ Round 12 SU- Black and Blues TXSU- Bad (MJ) ✅

WOW....... Southern lost again (band/football wise), LMAO........First LSU now to a smaller TXSU.........SU sounds muddy and not polished to me so far. They usually sound good early in the season but not this year. TXSU's song selection this year has been really amazing. They will be one of the kings in the SWAC in about 1-2 more years. Best 5th quarter so far. Thanks for sharing video.

[@JUKEBOX09]

You sound foolish as hell. If southern was muddy then txsu was sloppy.

Stop the cap! LSU did nothing of the sort.

[@jceza7947]

Txsu trumpet section could barely do a section battle, they need to work on their chops.. if you seen the section battle you know exactly what I'm talking about...the whole band sat out all 4th quarter which was smart, song selection was better but they ran out of gas!

The MJ song after su's ballad was a the perfect response. That arrangement had alot of color and runs (for a brass band instrumentation) but was played at maybe 80bpm. It was good. Best thing they played all night tone wise and accuracy wise. But the song by MJ had as much color in chords and harmonies and soli runs too...at a faster pace with great accuracy and tone quality and intonation. But people are in their feelings and low down because "we haven't seen TxSU be good so the su alumni directing their band are making su at TxSU"...su doesn't and never had a monopoly on black and minority musicians PLAYING. Texas Southern University is a great hbcu just like everyone else. The marching band program, unfortunately, went through leadership changes and stagnation. Brian Simmons was hired. He and staff are doing an amazing job. All the disrespectful comments by su fans have actually been going on for a very long time. Yall are just sensitive AF when anybody elevates their own thing. Half of yall fans still talkin ish about the football game being sour when yall got smashed 24-0. 😐better be glad TSU coaches and PV coaches haven't tapped into actual Texas dominant football because then it would've been worse IYKYK.

[@rollinwitdaholyghost1607]

Southern’s lower brass makes them sound distorted on several of their songs. TXSU SOUNDS GOOD!! I’d love to hear them play Brazilian Rhyme!!

For me SU ≈ 9.75/10 they gotta clean some stuff, their arrangements demand a lot from the individual performers and the ensemble . TxSU ≈ 9.3/10 I heard some fatigue from the trumpets. For me the “wow” parts of the arrangements don’t stick out like they should, better execution would help. “Georgy Porgy” is killing! Epic 5th imo both bands had the ratio that I prefer when it comes to song selections. I’m not the biggest fan of most of the current mainstream hip hop, the simplicity of it (minor keys & similar bpms) doesn’t entertain me. Song selection isn’t that big of a deal for me I’m looking for execution.
