24:48 The Boom is the Only Band(Horn Wise) that Plays "Can We Talk" Correctly.... Argue with ya Mama....😂😂😂

[@macnificentjohnson7311]

Shot out to the Boom Kids🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@newszn_]

JSU IS THEE STANDARD. EPITOME OF BLACK EXCELLENCE 💙🔥🔥

[@heyitzbows4lifehannah914]

Any hbcu represents black excellence

[@Kway773]

JSU won that field show hands down...sound was perfect...they played some classics we all love..from neck all the way down to playing Get Ready with the Boom kids..n they was so adorable. . NCAT was good . They auxiliary held down the show mostly....but JSU was waaaay better..LUV DA BOOM

[@cedricfleming3045]

DCI judges or HBCU judges. This should only be HBCU judges at this competition. Not people who don't know the culture of HBCU bands.

[@901.design6]

Or a mix of both, to get insights from all aspects of the band activity

[@ShutUpAndBump]

No dci judges. No PWI judges. We don’t need them AT ALL!!!

[@dirtysprite6312]

JSU is the standard… THEE Boom will be victorious.

[@Iam_Darian]

This didn’t age well 😂

[@MagnumVa5840]

OOPS !!!!

[@sharprnful]

Great show by both bands!! Both great programs!! But the THEE SONIC BOOM is in a different league!! This field show was Awesome!!

[@tennis4159]

I’m interested to see the format of the battle. I think JSU has shown you not trying to get in a stand battle with them this year. 😅

[@March-1-1]

I absolutely love NC A&T BGMM. Nobody touching them when it comes to the fieldshows!!

[@Bandhead-rd2xn]

A&T fieldshows are unmatched! Thought out themes. And Golden Delight kills every category!!!

[@wadiya14]

Aggie Pride NCAT field shows are always off the chain.

[@HailYeah1979]

Sonic Boom by 40.

[@kimberlylindsey3774]

Higher than that buddy....by 60

[@sjbtdbify]

The announcer -100

[@Icecreamman007]

ncat def incorporates some dci drill mixed into hbcu (meac ofc) style i can respect

[@liquidlightz]

*Legion style

[@Nothingbutbandish]

Ain’t no way you tried to say jsu copies alcorn bruh

[@akeemjackman9582]

Oh hell nah…ain’t no way JSU copies Alcorn by any means

[@sylvestertaylor7146]

wth??

[@MrLdevelle]

That’s comical

[@lazurusredd8682]

my gripe with JSU opening drill is that the sound goes from end zone to end zone, i wish they would incorporate a drill where the sound come towards the crowd

[@sharonguyton9119]

We think not💙💙💙

[@lazurusredd8682]

@@sharonguyton9119 what you think and what other people see are two different things,

[@lamore5054]

I went to the event. All the bands did well, JSU did their thing. The Event Host was pretty lame though. JSU was ready to battle A&T, but they stopped the bands after two songs because of the game tomorrow.

[@KBThaBandhead]

That’s lame. Let the bands get some stand action smh. 😂 I heard a lot people didn’t show up.

[@crochetdiva8436]

Oh my Lord! THEE BOOM KIDS stole the show and my heart. I love it!!!!!!! Luv da Boom💥 💙🤍💙🤍💙

[@brandenmusic2024]

NCA&T 🩵💛💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥 and JSU have the sounds and the power

[@MAGORDON35]

Two totally different energies

[@user-fu5qp2kt7w]

NCAT fieldshows are always A1!!!!

[@moniquegordon7562]

Finally an unbiased review. I'm a BOOM fan forevèr!!! I went to rep Da BOOM!!! I ended up on NCAT's side with my Jackson apparel! Lol. So i saw NCAT's performance from their side. First time seeing them in person and i was impressed. I KNEW Jackson was going to have competition in the end because of NCAT's field show. Showtime was on Jackson's side so his video isn't the greateset to judge NCAT and that's what a lot of critics are doing. Seeing them from the right view, they were phenomenal and I don't say that often. Jackson is normally the only band I say that to.. hence, this unbiased comment! Both bands are different and both great at what they do. Jackson is KNOWN for stand battles. NCAT, for field shows. Based on the field show, NCAT won. Its NOT only about musicality and that's what my fellow band heads keep basing it off of. NCAT had to much more to offer than Jackson did on the field. The girls did more than just dance...batons...fĺags...etc. The drumline had a feature. And the band sounded well!!! It was a full balanced sound. You don't get to hear it fully from showtime's video. If there was a stand battle, I believe 100% that Jackson would win that. NCAT would put up a fight, but that's Jackson's strong point. Now i watched Showtime's video of Jackson's performance. Boy did they put on a SHOW!!! I was thorougly impressed. But remember, for a full competition, NCAT brought more than what Jackson offered. Look at it from that standpoint. Its about more than musicality. That just one part of the score.

[@lovealwayswins1218]

WOW thank you for this review. LOVE SBOTS and congrats to them on a phenomenal show as well. Congrats NCAT!! #AggiePride

[@SkimmingBird]

Definitely no comparison! A&T has the full package. They are always field ready. Love the arrangements, drills, Cold Steel, & to put the icing on the cake. Golden Delight 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@newszn_]

Yes bc JSU IS THEE STANDARD. AT&T Looked unprepared and messy!

[@bmslhs]

What drill? Them folks ran on the field in position and stayed there for the most of it.

[@Drangon_ball_Goku]

JSU kills fields show lit 🔥

[@etgrider77]

The real question is did ColdSteel and War & Thunder finally battle it out. That has been a long awaited drum battle.

[@djteddy3160]

When the boom played swoop ommfg took me back to 04-08 boom hell yea

[@rickyjamerson4957]

Da BOOM!! The kids were an awesome addiction!!

[@thetishardy129]

Luv Da Boom 💥 💙

[@ZaneFerreira-vr4om]

NCAT has the best fieldshows in the business!

[@bonb213]

They look like a small black version of Ohio State.

[@sspann11]

That gap was weird with NCAT. Must have had a few students missing

[@kimberlylindsey3774]

I seen that too and said the same thang 🤔

[@MiltonGilbert-ck8hx]

Man we the SWAC that was a corp style competition in the SWAC its musically watts cranking and song selection

[@coroner1968]

Hey KB I personally spoke with one of the judges for the ESPN battle. Hey, told me that each judge graded different aspect of the band. One graded all of the field shows, one looked at auxiliary, , one arrangements. one ,the precession drill. So each judge didn't grade the whole band but instead just one specific thing about the bands. I believe that Jackson State took the field show. Keep up the great reviews. Bro my family hears me watching your reviews and they have to stop for your reviews. Take care BRO.

[@macnificentjohnson7311]

I would love to see a NC A&T vs SU battle.

[@christopherdukes2425]

SU is garbage though!!!!

[@mrbigwill007]

Seems like Can we Talk tempo was off a little. Or maybe it was just the arriangement.

[@DariusHilarious]

NCAT Half Crazy sounded good but I just wasn’t feeling the energy 😢 they could’ve did a double heart formation and then showed the heart breaking or something… that song is too good to be slandered!!! Now the dance team was 🔥 😮

[@gem7395]

Same, when they ran onto the field I thought they were gonna bring that energy and then 📉, it was boring to me. My opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@toryjei9435]

A&T field ALL DAY!! Boom in the stands

[@ryanwheeler1222]

Ima boom fan hands down but,,, as far as field shows,,, a & t is unmatched!!!

[@michaelrhodes4078]

When it comes to styles there were 2 different styles how do you judge a core band and traditional band against each other. You don’t see it anywhere.

[@efremwarren4317]

Good critique! However, Alcorn drum majors along with other band drum majors copied a lot of moves from THEE Boom!🤷🏾‍♂️😁

[@KBThaBandhead]

I believe I mentioned that in the video.

[@knowlasiahazard5004]

KB must luv da boom

[@alexandriajenkins2618]

right !

[@marcuslyons7233]

Cut it out

[@sspann11]

Apparently, Corn's band director from the late 90s or early 2000s was a graduate of JSU

[@MrLANKY04]

20:10 Nothing Similar about J5 and Alcorn....

[@partywitjay7573]

I think the tubas couldn’t keep up with the tempo fr… and “paranoid” by Kanye west doesn’t really have a off beat tempo so it was cluttered But the field show was overall 🔥

[@sassyccr]

Ncat just brought more all around. They killed it. I love JSU, but BGMM stole the show.

[@manyeah04]

No they didn’t, very boring

[@kingkdkdogg7529]

NCaT is more CourtStyle/Swac style marching band

[@Bigbezzy1781]

They supposed to have Ah stand battle to so👀👀

They did ,its posted look it up

NC A&T equals drum corps… they don’t have HBCU style period.

[@tanyabrown8008]

NSU Spartan Legion has spoiled me. I know Im going to get awesome sound. Im not down with the ESPN whole thing and I'm trying to get excited for these other bands. I just cant do it.

[@85gthang]

One thing I can guarantee you. Alcorn has no problem with anyone knowing they stole what another band was doing. From drills to uniforms. They only thing original is them thick Golden Girls 😋

[@2x._Jackson]

BOI NCAT PUT J STATE IN DEY PLACE😂😭

Negro please, I don't know wtf you watched 😂

Man I was watching 5th quarter,and got damit ,we blew the fuck out of A&T.....S.O.P 9five

[@MajorCLJ]

I wish they would stop requiring the drums to do too much…that’s what the baton, dancer and flags are for. Plus…they don’t utilize the field NCAT was awesome…but that second song sounded too cluttered. The base drummer’s routine wasn’t entertaining.

[@reishacoley4669]

U like jsu drill so much that it is a su drill.smh

[@MrDLuck00]

You gotta be dumb, because most bands drill out of the same book 😂
