[@charlesperez9976]

[@artishicks4606]

GSU Marching Band in The Years 1984-1990 always had the most competitive Drumlines and then to the Year 2018. These Programs in All of The Colleges a Young African American Student could Attend, And Even Without the Peer Pressures of The Advancement of a Scholarship in Music. Note: This College Activity Requires Skill, Because All of these Ciricullums Are Skilled.

[@seanjames1600]

Both were very good....Clark Atlanta bass drums had a more melodic push....because of size, GSU had more of a volume push, of course...so both were very good...

[@manorboi]

damnn i luv when we show why WE DA BEST!!!!!!!!!

[@tlcSerenityScents]

They are all so talented though! There should be no tension!! We have to maintain "achud" (one accord)!

[@doriangpaige]

GSU why you didn’t come out with that last song 1st or 2nd. By time you played that one Clark already stack deck against you.

[@SqueakyVents]

Wow this was great!

[@agent1543]

Can't mess w/ the A Town ... Smaller band showed out.

[@georgiamule]

The Grambling website doesn’t allow comments? What are they afraid of?

[@antrob5719]

OMG GRAMBLING 😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonybosley-bey1909]

I can't believe how SLAW GSU drumline is

[@johnniejames9799]

Where are the rest of the snares for CLARK? They was smacking!!

[@lock514]

4:14 sic cadence

[@JoseGarcia-vx8ql]

They good

[@keyunellington7293]

I like that other drum lines Moooves tho it’s like them cymbals just show more expression with moving to much and gram got dem trick tricks with there’s but It’s maybe to much for them to keep composure. I’m thinking to hard for gram but that’s my opinion

[@cynthiareddrev.dr.267]

GSU!

[@redrum482]

Clark Atlanta University. Better jams and execution.

[@dminus77]

Clark was on point!

[@helenebolton9082]

Gob bless you’ll ❤️

[@keyunellington7293]

[@jahanmcadams8671]

[@Redboi-sp6pi]

From a former Snare Drummer CAU had way better precision and execution but both were good💯

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

GSU rocking them jail house shoes.👀

[@FreshManna2012]

[@7LAMPSofFIRE]

Oh well! Lemme go find Norfolk and Prairie Valley. I wants to jam. Not catch a headache due to trash can banging.

[@JOnePro251]

[@kershiffreeman308]

[@redeemedharshsw209]

Originalliy came from the Best Band" Black and Red Uniform is BEST BAND!!! And I don't know none of these people nor ever visited their University.

[@rejana3236]

[@ejmallari6395]

Clark Atlanta Same size like average high school drumline but destroyed hands down but thing about it they can get different ratings compare to Grambling cause of size

[@lilbabers391]

GSU 🐯🐅🐅 All Day

[@nish221100]

No contest. Clark Atlanta.

[@lilbabers391]

We world Famed #worldfamed

[@michaeljonesmckeiver3320]

Clark sound much better , they came with the sling shot . Poor Giant David won again

[@rexdink]

More drums to hide the mistakes.

[@jasonworley2845]

Cymbal section leader look like desi banks

[@delvinsalaam2144]

Gotta give it to clark on everything. Gambling snares sound and look like trash- the girls in the middle only look like collegiate players. Clark won

[@delvinsalaam]

Overall based on cadences wise, it's a tie. Gsu really thought they was going TY muscle Clark but Clark sounds real good for only 10. But Clark please tune your bass drums and don't ever do that bass run challenge again. That was completely horrible

[@e.gaming7618]

clark took this one💯

[@Ktg.Syn2]

Grambling got in they ass no cap😂😂 from a percussionist stand point grambling has definitely got it.. Because I don’t think the spectators had any idea of what grambling was doing rudimental wise and that’s what all these comments show me🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[@williamp.2140]

Clark Atlanta won

[@lxpxdz302]

I vote red cause white was really messy and more people doesn’t always mean better

[@jsmith3866]

Clark destroyed them

[@nickmadedis]

Jsu would murder all the bands

[@walterevans74]

Nick Jones 👍

[@sweetdeafangel23]

Todd Johnson true

[@RT-rc8cs]

Am I the only one confused by the need for THAT MUCH pelvic thrusting?🤔

[@egnolas9051]

The pelvic movements of their dance originate from traditional African dance movements. It is quite common in regions where melanated people and their respective cultures are prevalent. It is celebratory on nature. That's our flavor and what makes us the most imitated yet never duplicated beings on the planet.

[@RT-rc8cs]

Meaza Fluellen My mother is a professor of classical African history, and I'm familiar with all of the cultures from A-Z (Ashanti to Zulu) My father is a "Q," so I'm familiar with choreographed step routines, and my sister was in our high school marching band, so I get it Problem is, without any precursory explanation (for those who AREN'T familiar with the cultures) it just looks like more of the raunchy nonsense that one can find on BET or Mtv, and the reverence and homage paid to OUR history is lost on those who simply see it as overtly sexual and inappropriate I know that the roots of the movements are a celebration of life and fertility, however, it may be misinterpreted and looked at in the same light as nudity (which is completely natural, yet considered inappropriate in public) We may be the "most imitated," but we're probably the most misunderstood, as well, and when ignorance and lack of education lead to misunderstanding of our people, we usually suffer as a result That's all I'm saying Peace💚

[@egnolas9051]

@@RT-rc8cs This is true, but, those that are not familiar with the historical aspect of the dance would find it beneficial to learn more about the basis of it. What might seem lewd or inappropriate to some is completely acceptable to another especially those that understand the cultural significance of of the dance. Yes, it does have sexual connotations in certain situations, but, this is not one of them. It is celebratory in nature in this instance. We do not have to justify anything about ourselves or our wonderful, diverse culture. We should merely appreciate it and keep it pushin'. I will not spend my time explaining to those that do not understand or berate my culture because it is a variation from dances with which they are accustomed. I do not care to explain. It is what it is and that is why my culture is the most imitated culture in the world. I thank you for your input. Peace

[@dougolson1873]

I’m looking for the white privilege in those schools

[@louisianamel3790]

Y'all just talking don't know nothing bout percussion that shit Clark did would get laughed at in the swac, Caribbean shit 😂, won't win no 5th quarters, stop hating on GSU

[@thereportshowsshewasnotlyi1434]

GSU lost.

[@zaphnathphoenix6306]

It's a tie,both we're horrible!

[@TruEnimga1906]

Clark won

[@baribone98]
