I love Golden Delight from Ncat because they are mulitalented and the only dance team that does it all. Twirling, flags and dance. Choreography is very creative both on the field and stands Band sounds good also but I prefer Bcu's sound better. They did perform well but not better than Ncat. This was my first time seeing Vsu and I enjoyed their performance a lot. They're sound was ok but I wasn't crazy about it. They did entertain well though. Asu sound good but I was slightly bored. Golden girls routine was tight but they all look alike to me. They need variety in they're routines because a lot of they're moves are repeated.

What I can appreciate most about Bethune-Cookman is that they have maintained their identity (look and sound) for over 37 years. What makes watching and listening to bands most pleasing to me is the comparison of styles and sounds and how each present their style to the various audiences during the year and their various opposing bands during the year. Observing a lot of matchups of the same or similar styles and sounds gets to be boring. So, kudos BCU for remaining true to you, though that is likely due to the consistency in who heads the program.

Virginia State sounds really nice, especially on that ballad, I believe it was Missing You. I loving hearing Tubas emphasizing a rich full true bass sound. Nothing like a strong full solid foundation in an arrangement.

Bcu’s uniforms are new, that’s why they look bright

[@Bandhead03]

A&T #1!

[@michaelwilliams2017]

Bcu, Ncat

[@KMcGhee-to5wi]

Steven i enjoy the fact that you actually know music and know what makes things sound good. Your wise cracks be so timely. Keep it coming man.

[@edwinmoore357]

Looks like Alcorn is back to a clean sounding jamming precision band. I enjoyed that show.

[@RodneyPlayer-f9l]

Steven you're so silly lol. That El Debarge comment cracked me up.😂

[@edwinmoore357]

That Jam Tonight by Alcorn sounds pretty close to Mr. Eric Baskin's arrange for Southern when it was on the charts (probably 1986 ot 1987). Sounds good.

[@ZebraLens]

If memory serves correctly, CAU and BCU haven't seen each other (head-to-head) since _Drumline 2002._ When the Georgia Dome _"BET Classic"_ scene was filmed.👍🏾 I've tried to recall any head-to-head performances that they were both at _(not including those years at Honda BOTB)_ when they were doing the "tunnel battles".

[@vblackpsxt7466]

Can you react to the Clark Atlanta vs Fmu battle

[@edwinmoore357]

When I see the low altitude seating of MEAC stadiums, I often wonder if the fans get to appreciate their field shows. It appears it is hard to identify formations at the angel of view in the stands.

[@AFLive]

We need to have a CRANKFEST of the REAL BANDS of the Year, Jackson State , Southern University, Texas Southern University , and Alabama State. Mic drop and walks out.
