Cognizant. Not cognizantly. Please and thank you

[@StevenHoliday]

YES! lol THANK YOU SO MUCH lmao! I was struggling on that for the rest of the day!

[@ShoShotMusic]

Well NORFOLK still plays this version and as you can see the proper use of dynamics and articulation can breathe life into any arrangement. This is a learned arranging and performing standard at NSU.

[@wildcat77]

Outsiders say what you wanna, but when Cookman and Fam start playing “Hay” at the Florida Classic thats when the party gets started. 💯

[@lilaj318]

I remember that …. When those 2 start playing the same thing everybody starts going crazy

[@taylormaid6721]

That hmm at 8:39 w like, that’s kinda spartan like of a fill…

[@dosequis6397]

Yup they literally added it after battling Norfolk in 09 😂😂😂😂

[@darrylmcneal6372]

GramFam here: TN 1st, NSU 2nd, BCU 3rd, SU 4th, JSU 5th, SCSU 8th

[@DiwinDaley]

BEHOLD… The Green & Gold and Bethune Cookman were outstanding. Great job to all of the band 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@StevenHoliday]

We agree!

[@dr.passaj.wilson1476]

B-CU"s band director went to Norfolk State University for graduate school.......BEHOLD!

[@MrPesante2008]

Su always had the best version until I wrote it for HU! They were the first band to play this in fall 96. They played it on my school HU, in the Heritage Bowl. I immediately wrote this song for HU after game in which we were the first band in the Meac to play Hay in spring 97 for pep band. It became HU them song which we continue to play in fall 97. Next year, every Meac band was playing it in fall 98 😂😂. I remember first hearing Nsu and A&T play it and knew my arrangement had inspired them both because I had the baritone playing that F encounter to the trombone cords, and also had tubas anx drums start out the groove, then trombones came in with cords next. Then Trumpets and mellos would come in with melody and counter melody! HU should definitely be in this mix!

[@antoinemills7576]

Yes Scsu still playing the same version

[@JanakeDinizzy]

SU and JSU arranged it, simply to be a crank song. In New Orleans when I was playing, you'd hear it back to back, typically just to see who crank it the loudest lol. But that was a time where all you heard were loud notes, no balance, no articulation and subpar execution.

[@dosequis6397]

Norfolk and SCSU for me 🔥🔥🔥

[@sspann11]

When i was going to games in the 90s, Hay was primarily an in-game song for JSU to get everybody hype. Same thing for SU, which is why there weren't a lot of moving parts. I agree with your scores. I thought NSUs version stood out because of the creative arrangement

[@StevenHoliday]

I can see that... sometimes, songs just need to serve a quick purpose to get the energy up.

[@itsvenises2520]

I’m sorry, SCSU ROCK that song!!!

[@Mstomtom80]

Crucial Conflict - Hay came out in 1996...Behold 💛💛💚💚

[@dezgarrett2790]

This song came out in Summer/Fall 1996....My HS band Willowridge under the direction of the Legendary Late Great Ronald Thornton in Houston played this my senior during football season.

[@levionmiller676]

marching 101 all day baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RammEditsYT]

U did SC State wrong😂😭 they had da best one

[@aol15]

Came out in Spring 96... The same year as the Centennial Olympics at the crib!

[@wydkyle993]

BCU has the best arrangement imo

[@cdaws8167]

NSU was the “Best”

[@MashMasterJay]

I see NCAT was excluded (I'm biased as an Aggie) BUT our arrangement is different from everyone else's in that we play it immediately following "Neck" and we also feature our Trombone section more....I thought SCSU's version was too slow, but I loved how they sprinkled in Cameo's "Word Up" into the arrangement...

[@TheRealTruth06]

YOU DON'T LIKE ME! ION LIKE YOU!! I like that part. So I'd give it to y'all after the world's greatest BCU lol

[@MashMasterJay]

@Slim Soulja Indeed!! When you hear that, you know we're about to Turn Up!! --- shout to 'The PRIDE' Marching Wildcats as I definitely think BCU is underrated by most

[@TheRealTruth06]

@@MashMasterJay they're all fans in real life Wildcats don't sweat none of the haters lol

[@edwinmoore357]

Norfolk: Very clean.. a little mellow for me on this song, which I like it being a hyped song.

[@HBCUBandTalk]

Bethune Cookman!!!!!

[@ericl.727]

Predominately non-black schools put their percussion there. I see it in the suburbs and some colleges. Percussion is normally the highlight of those bands. Those bands remind me pep bands at a basketball game.

[@Totuffchasen867]

Scsu and Bcu had the best

[@mr.cweights7097]

NSU!!!

[@travisjohnson057]

Cant even nobody play hay like SU did back in 97 especially in jackson...say man we jsu was marching in and SU crunk up hay that was a classic band moment

[@tristanberardi2969]

how was ncat not in this?

[@HBCUBandTalk]

1996

[@fabionwilson6992]

I agree with you score Steven, being from New Orleans and in the band in the early 90s we use to put our drum sections in the front of the band but that started to change in the early 2000s for most bands in New Orleans.

[@StevenHoliday]

Wow... I am looking at a lot of early 90s clips and I noticed that. Why do you think it started to change?

[@Thunderbro92]

Absolute facts!!!!!

[@fabionwilson6992]

@@StevenHoliday I don’t know the change but it appears after Katrina New Orleans bands got smaller and they started to place the drum sections at the top

[@tkd121984]

IMO… BCU takes it… clean, simple, and powerful….

[@jolandaallen5866]

I agree with your scores ☺️

[@edwinmoore357]

BCU sounds very clean and the band sounds great singing it.

[@melfirst165]

Out of all the years NSU had power, sound and sizes who pick this year for them.

[@wrldwideshonn2296]

Bcu ‘13, scsu’10, Norfolk’18 or current (i think), tnsu ‘15 , su ‘18, jsu ‘08 … i think i got em

[@StevenHoliday]

That's it! Wait... lemme check lol

[@noahlomax1]

Hay, by Crucial Conflict, came out in Spring 1996. That same year, SU played it by the Fall semester. They played it to the liking of the actual rap tune which made it a hit with the SU crowd and soon the HBCU and High School band crowd. All of the other arrangements are personal interpretations, but the Jukebox has the best version for how the rap goes and how hype it gets you.

[@justinbigjaydadrummajackso6672]

SU& Jsu do it the best if u ever had a game experience with both them playing it’s crazy 🔥🔥🔥

[@StevenHoliday]

I bet! SU and JSU always put on a great show for everyone in attendance.

[@adrianneking9309]

BCU!!!

[@showoutdatruckerjones9451]

And yes scsu still play this version

[@showoutdatruckerjones9451]

Scsu 🔥🔥🔥

[@taylormaid6721]

MAN I wish NSU in PA 04 Was in this mix Dat shyyyd was TOO LIT pumpin at a high school game.

[@edwinmoore357]

Love the song, especially to be played at a celebratory portion of a game with lots of energy. Some of these arrangements sounded more like a song to play as the drives down the field , so groove it instead of hyping it.

[@dancinstar6]

SCSU that was years ago. I was in college then.

[@edwinmoore357]

TnSU: Love the fullness of the Tubas. But, the song is too mellow/cute for me for this song.

[@kidd5952]

Hay came out in 1996. Cookman first played this in 99'

[@edwinmoore357]

SU: This is why I'm spoiled on the aggression of this song. I have witnessed a stadium being super Krunk off of it. There are older versions with singing.

[@MrMaybachJizzle]

BCU All Day💯

[@ch6inre6ction11]

Where is A&Ts version?

[@dariusdemetriusx9967]

It’s Famu and BCU for the win ! But shout out to SCSU! Didn’t really like the NSU arrangement at all, but they sound great!

[@soulfulsaxgaming]

Hay is by crucial conflict in spr 96

[@StevenHoliday]

CRUCIAL CONFLICT!!!! I remember that! But in 1996 I was 9 years old and didn't know anything about what I was talking about... smh... lol

[@soulfulsaxgaming]

@@StevenHoliday wow lol I was a freshman in high-school back in 96. dang now I feel old 😆 I remember the 1st time I played the song "hay" was during the summer of '99 I signed up for summer band rehearsals b4 coming up in the fall at famu, never should have done that 😅

[@booneymitchell7429]

101

[@christophergoodwin2666]

Nice video

[@keithyounger9397]

T.S.U. Nice version, music arrangements was good, balanced was good! Give them a 23!

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

1. JSU and BCC 2. TnSU

[@edwinmoore357]

Love JSU's aggressive version also.

[@keithyounger9397]

Steven what white man Kool Aid you drinking fool! 23/25! Man you talking out the side and back of your neck! All B.C.Who? Played was the Intro and sang and dance their way through the parts as they usually do! I give them a 20 !!!

[@keithyounger9397]

S.U. Arrangement was up tempo, Balance was good, power was good, wasn’t feeling their version! Give them a 22

[@amuchneeded]

I think TNSU got this one...but Famu's Hay is by far the best 👌

[@edwinmoore357]

TnSU: I love how they ended it.

[@SonicBoomC98]

Not feeling BCU at all. Usually I like when arrangers include all the details and elements of song, but I just don't think Hay is one of those songs. UAPB used to be bad about that. They would swear their arrangement was best for that reason only. Their(BCU) power rating should have been a 2. I somewhat feel the same about SCSU. Hay is a hype song. There isn't always going to be time for an extended version of a song, and I don't see it as a 5Q song. I like NSU's with the exception of the F-Horns coming in alone. My only issue issue with any of these is will you have the time to play it other than Zero quarter. TSU's almost sounded like a key change when they came back in with the power, but I would like to hear a version of them outside. I'm a little torn between TSU and NSU, but I think I will go with slight edge to TSU or a tie. TSU's band room looks a lot like JSU's Sothern's clip was so short. This isn't the best JSU clip I've heard. I've heard some where you can hear the individual parts a little better. I'm going with JSU, NSU, and TSU on the medal stand

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

Your scores for NSU were puzzling

[@richlorrd]

how?

[@davionreid9266]

Cookman gotta be 2013-2014

[@edwinmoore357]

SCSU was too mellow for.thar song for me, though the band sounded good singing it.

[@keithyounger9397]

S.C.S. Put their own spin or version of this song! Dynamics and parts were heard clearly! Not really feeling their version at all! Give them a 22!

[@jermaine2211989]

U think hay dropped in like 96 right?

[@thatcat41]

Famu has the best HAY 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@donalddonaldson1353]

Hey was released in 1996. But knowing BCU. This was probably recorded 2021. Lol 😆

[@jarradscott3824]

SMH 🤣🤣You gone leave my school alone🤣🤣

[@kingjkendrick4534]

😂😂

[@aol15]

lol.. but that was definitely at the Classic before the renovations to the stadium

[@kidd5952]

not recorded in 2021. that clip was after 2014 . Cookman first played this in 99.

[@AggyA]

A&T

[@keithyounger9397]

Oh hell no, that’s some high school bull scrap they played! Their arrangements were straight trash! No melody at all! Overall so give them a 18!!

[@keithyounger9397]

What pretty basic, you have lost your everlasting mind! S.B. had the best arrangement, of all the bands! You heard the dynamics, heard the parts, the melody as well! Give them a 25
