All I have to say is thanks to all of you who made this happen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The marching bands MAKE Mardi Gras!! Two superb bands with superb performances. LOVE it!!

[@joemonsta]

Hip Hop is killing marching bands. There is nothing to arrange anymore. Modern music lacks song structure conducive to marching bands.

[@ccharlie05]

Joe I'm going to have to agree with you 100% modern-day rap have no musical construction whatsoever therefore in my opinion it kind of makes some of the 5th quarters boring because all of the rap today is so repetitive.

[@REPUBLICANSAREBEYONDSTUPID]

Unfortunately you’re right bro. 😢

[@06capoeirista]

I know this is an old comment, but I agree. The rap of the early 2000's was still serviceable with the offerings from "Outkast" and the like being especially conducive to full band arrangements. A lot of The current stuff is almost anti-melodic in structure making it almost impossible to identify when played by the band, usually necessitating extensive use of vocals to help clue the audience into what they are listening to. That being said I anticipate a Renaissance of sorts within the next decade that will reintroduce melodic elements (look at "uptown funk" as a Pop oriented precursor).

Can any one possibly write the playlist by order of band?

[@Newbirthone]

I have only seen TC a few times, and SU a ton over the years. I have to say that TC definitely held their own, and then some in this head to head with SU. For the tradition that SU brings to the fight, I have to tip my hat to TC in this one. I was really impressed with the product from TC, great job. The overall blend of TC was done well.

[@reppintime3890]

Ok I was there live one of the best bands moments ever. TC was the crowd pleaser, very loud, B-tones were eating but its a difference between being loud and having power, balance, & blend. What ppl dont realize is that you can be louder than Southern but the way they shit is written YOU WONT WIN!!! Thats what JSU tried to do "OUT BLOW SU"....SOUTHERN have best arrangements in the history of HBCU thats why they been dominating the SWAC FOR SO LONG.... VERY GREAT BATTLE THO MUST RESPECT TO TC ONLY TWO YEARS BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN IDENTITY..... SU TOOK THE W!!!

[@bugzy46]

I disagree!

[@tristanstewart611]

TD's arrangements made for the notes to be played louder. Its not very difficult to play the songs loud when you playing the same two or three notes over and over again as loud as you can. Great battle never the less.

Nice battle but Southern won this battle and still reign as the Kings. TC good but they definitely need to work on their intonation issues. TC started out strong but they ran out of good songs after about 20 minutes. They started to play George Michael, Billy Ocean, etc. Also they write all their arrangements on that SU style and sound and that's why they get, it sound like SU all the time. I give TC props for trying to dethrone the reigning kings but they lost this battle. They still have a long way to go and it's not to late for them to work on their own style. They will never beat Southern at their own style. Good battle though. Thanks Garrett for your continued effort to bring us good videos of our bands. Appreciate you alot man.

[@kevinpowell9023]

The problem with most SU faithful is that they simply refuse to believe that another band can rival them. In all fairness to them though, it very seldom happens,..including this battle. I've never heard of TC and even though they stood there ground I would hardly award them the win here. I'm by no means a Jukebox fan but will give credit where it's due. Also, it's easy be a loud, strong band. If they want to be considered on the same level as SU lets see them on the field to see what kind of halftime performance they can muster.
