Alla Battle 2011 : OPW vs St Aug (1/2)

Alla Parade Line Up. Walker vs St Aug (1/2)

[@BookMultimedia]

the way the band 's set up you cant help that... .. the woodwinds are behind the tubas.. ... the other cam guy is closer to the baritones..

[@BookMultimedia]

@imtipsylilteboy .. The Video being Edited has nothing to do with anything. .. The Raw Footage has alot of wasted space if you want to see it as it was recorded.

[@MarvinPrice]

The only reason why it looks like Walker won this battle is because of St Augs formation and where the camera man was while st Aug was playing. Walker played SU arrangements and Carver Arrangements in most of this battle. St Aug has always been original. St Aug did shut Bacchus and Orpheus down. They were the best band overall this parade season. They just do not need to battle in parade formation anymore.

[@stvictore]

Walker got 'em. claity and stoccata of trumpets. intonation of tubas. definition of inner-voices...saxes...and bones..

[@mlmkwm]

@mellojb That's supposed to be a more ORGANIC sound.

[@imperialcadsr]

the toxic break down was a fool. The best i heard so far

[@LastThreeEnt]

was that dude for the purple school playing a Pocket Trumpet or Picollo Trumpet?

[@mlmkwm]

@mellojb because uprights are for grown men. LOL!!! Just playing, but I think it has to do with the sound that fits their style. Marching B-tones have more of a blatty sound, like a darker sounding trombone, where as upright euphoniums and baritones give off a darker more oranic sound--sound like the instrument is supposed to sound. I guess a similar comparison would be fiberglass basshorns vs Tin Cans. But honestly, IDK but I personally am glad they're sticking with the uprights.

[@grandmasterjax21]

for a second there i thought 2 of the drum majors had long hair,,

[@MELLOWMADNESS88]

whats the name of that song they both played aug played it first at about the 1 minute mark

[@CarlsBarklee504]

a piccolo trumpet and a pocket trumpet are not the same thing....but still thats cool.

[@ZackryPaul]

Where's the bass.

[@jimmy131995]

Dang! What's the name of the last song?

[@pfcleigh1990]

Whats Up With St. Aug Percussion? When St. Aug Play, It Sounds Like Their Percussion Is Playing Something Completely Different .

[@lilb0717]

whats the last song opw played

[@mellojb]

Why doesn't The Aug play with marching euphoniums? I know they never have I just wanna know why?

[@CarlsBarklee504]

was some of st.aug people playin on pocket trumpets????

[@BlackMagixxx]

OP Walker is just the POST Katrine Kennedy !! ST. AUG Lives on. R.I.P. J.F. Kennedy high school. --St. Aug. Tuba c/o 2000

[@mtz250phil]

what we as drum majors have no control!!!

[@uptownbennybee3]

i forgto to add walker tbones

[@wayna5]

To be honest. I can't decide on who one. Who yall think got this.

[@LCLTBONE2010]

y the hell they playing on them piccilo trumpets(i think thats wat they are called) in marching band?????

[@BASHA2000]

If I had to break it down.... then Walker won..... I don't got to eaither school and never lived in DA Boot I'm from Texas...... and I think if St Aug was in a different formation then.. It would have been a closer battle.. but to be honest walkers arrangements is what makes them the better band in this battle ... they both sound good but St Aug arrangement's.. are just cool.... but hey they still blowing... and for them to be in that formation they still pushing some major watts..

[@BaritonesFavoriteSon]

yes they were playing on piccolo trumpets(pocket trumpets) which has a higher register than reg. trumpets or cornets

[@kcsolomon00]

St Aug using piccolo trumpets ummmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!! just a observation. both bands sound good and i like them both!!!!!!!

[@KPicotProductionsEnt]

@liljjjj yeah u right people u gotta have faith besides wright remind me of kennedy, the roots remind me of reed, and u see even mcmain gettin on there feet, but im worried about easton thats all...... dam if they would of still been like they were in 08 and 09 now we would see bands 100% back to normal cause even cohen on the come up.... and st aug gttin bigger every year

[@grandmasterjax21]

name of second song?

[@Nolactc1]

Wow... OPW put the snack down. Played better songs, sound better just an over all better presentation.

[@gerardpringle]

[@rockstarbitch99]

go walker best band and land

[@tbey74]

[@sousa07ful]

This is why bands like this look and sound the way they do half way through the parade. St. Aug sure has fallen from grace.

[@random_guy8461]

[@DeeAndretti]

@dw21st Radar by brittney spears

[@SaintHakim504]

@influ504 St.Aug young dude its all cool cuz by next year they gone be takin thingsova next year give em time Walker cant hold it forever their time is near the end!!!!!!!!!

[@zaokoyechatma]

i think toxic will be more powerful if they put whole notes instead of those rythms

[@Donnyredd]

Well i'm sorry i'm not talking about what they did b4 this are what they did after this performance...What I am trying to say is that on this video Walker got St.Aug and I talked to sum of the boys from st.aug and they told me that they did get blowed out...

[@Caffin9galveZ]

I do have respect for all the kids in both bands because they are doing positive things with their lives instead of running the streets.st aug get some of your alumni back to helo so yall can once again become the best in the city..good job by both bands

[@junkantelope1068]

100

[@MarvinPrice]

@LastThreeEnt pocket

[@bigbigilow]

[@rockstarbitch99]

op walker best band and the land

[@IlLuMiNaTiOn08]

@GrassDancer1992 fall in love by estelle

[@supamario627]

def a different st aug...more of a su look/sound guess times are changing

[@Ozmosesfr]

i was there in person and walker is so low and sounds so bad mellos and btones crackin on jumpstart like really wow

[@Yaboy485]

Osmosis Gonez you must have had on your Ray Charles ears at that moment!!

[@Caffin9galveZ]

i cant believe walker handling their business with st.aug!!damn times have changed cuz back in the 90's no other school in da city besides kennedy would even think about steppin to the aug.they were on a college level but now their looking like middle school material.man aug fell all the way off!!!!

[@MELLOWMADNESS88]

my bad about the 5 minute mark loll

[@BigSamrob504]

They lined up in parade formation and just turned to the left to play. When St Aug is in parade formation, the woodwinds are behind the Tubas.

[@Kingsec10]

to the guy under me just take yall L you probably been graduated just trying to give st aug the edge. I must admit st aug trumpets are really good though

[@teebrown30]

I'mma tell y'all like this... As far as being loud.. Yeah.. walker dumped on da Aug. But as far as pure musicianship, fullness, & dynamics... St. Aug got it.. St.Aug is really the better band. U can't judge a band just on how loud they are. St. Aug had control over their notes & was not overblowing.. Walker was seriously over blowing. U barely heard the trumpet. 7 yes, I'm a former K grad c/o'98 "Mello Fello".. member of the 4 horsemen.. & I tell ya, Walker will neva sound like da K!!

[@d13black]

this like a SU vs FAMU lil battle kmsl

[@lildee5453]

my school would never battle a High School foreal doe #wheretheydothatat????

[@grandmasterjax21]

is this the result of having elementary music classes???????

[@TheeMelloMan]

Both bands performed very well and have two different and unique styles!

[@urkel2012]

people still commenting on this like it was over a year ago get over it

[@jordanstyle23ify]

@teebrown30 true that

[@drob06]

Walker def was the better sounding band St Aug just ain't the St Aug I remember they have the numbers and power but something is surely missing

[@Just_CO]

lol tht one guy cranking on a concert bTone

[@MrJamylephillips]

@WowKowboy Why was this comment removed. Its only an opinion. A right opinion but nevertheless an opinion.

[@babyshugg]

damn imiss marching for Walker c/o '07 but tonight they will be crown the baddest band againg in the land at Bacchus im so ready nobody touching them colorguards...lol

[@Gotitmadekidd]

Nice on that toxic

[@snowyo318]

op tubas takin it up lol year after year that goes by i keep thinken hmm carver has returned in disguise!!! lol

[@cutoff15thbash]

Man I was at this battle and point black period Walker Smashed St. Aug don't let nobody tell yall different.

[@RKBoyJ]

Man I see it lik this walker is lik the new carver they play all their old song and they get songs from SU so all the ppl who go there from other schools to be in a cold band are just a number but it was a good battle but walker melos killed st aug no matter that number of melos

[@dorseyjackson92]

Dude it's not fair to say SU will blown on them they a college of course they would that's not fair to say that give these schools respect

[@MrSingersongwriter09]

walker got out here and pulled st aug's pants down and pointed and laughed!! hahahahahah lol

[@msbombbody]

walker took it to dem boys clowned the hell out of them purple knight the play back sounded better than st aug sorry they shitted out st aug whoever said st aug sounded the best clearly went to st aug or is deaf they spanked that ass in every way from song selection to musicality superb opw on to round 2

[@MarvinPrice]

I was actually apart of this battle...St Aug C'O 2011. OPW played jumpstart facing the opposite direction of St Aug. Both bands had a very full sound! If you like St Augs originality and unique style, then you would say St Aug won. But if you like the SU mixed with a little bit of Carver (Pre-K) style then you would saw OPW won. I personally prefer originality over imitation... You can't claim to be the best if your trying hard to be like somebody else! "Often imitated NEVER duplicated!"

[@kjmorgan15]

Walker got this one!!!!!

[@showboycj]

Walker Hands Down Yall Can't Let A School Background History Be The Reason Yall Pick The

[@unigamehead]

I wanna say those are piccolo trumpets......but they look smaller than the one i have. Maybe pocket trumpets. I have no idea why you would want to march with either one of those anyways.

[@MarvinPrice]

[@michaeljeaneca]

POWER DONT GET ANY POINTS WHAT YOU PLAY &HOW YOU PLAY WINS WITH ME:)! BUT UMMM DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE WALKER BUT I HAVE TO SAY ITS A DRAW

[@influ504]

I had a front row seat to this concert. I was live St.Aug lost yall have seen the looks on those teenagers face after the battle the looked as if they wanted to get back on their bus.... I felt bad for them becuz at the beginning these lil dudes looked so juiced up about challenging walker. Then reality struck. But nobody brings up the fact St.Aug used to do the samething to other bands. Naw the shoe is on the other foot.

[@Kingsec10]

to the guy under me just take yall L you probably been graduated just trying to give st aug the edge

[@TheDragonmaster18]

[@beastatsax556]

[@KPicotProductionsEnt]

boring battle.... i have a reed game from 01 that completely smashes this battle... the reed vs 35 game in 2001... yeah i thought so

[@raymondwilliams1385]

JFK AND su will blow these two bands out put together

[@mtz250phil]

never argue with a fool. How many times we gave money for the public schools ( remember Mr. Hamps 1$ policy so black public schools had a chance . He was honest now everyboby wants to treat a GOD Given school we don't exist. Listen to what you play and listen to every song St Aug played to make People understand why we are!! You people do no not understand. The fact you do as well as you do is because of what Saint Augustine for us everyday. Yeas are loved but you need to love tooo!!!

[@Trwubblenaut]

walker.....

[@BookMultimedia]

true its a basic technique that gets shunned due to those in collegiate bands who do the same.

[@MarvinPrice]

This battle is a clear cut TIE! because of the formation St Aug was in "it all depended on where you were standing. The people watching the video got to hear how st aug would have sounded if they were standing in front of the drummers like the camera man did. But ive seen this very same battle from different angles where it honestly looked like St Aug SMASHED OPW. but this video says otherwise so you have to be very careful how you judge this battle

[@dhmsbandraww]

o perry walker tubas bout 12 deep lmao sound good st aug trumpets killed yall trumpets
