Jackson State vs Tennessee State University | 5th Quarter @ Southern Heritage Classic 2022

[@BandHeadBoom]

First of all, kudos to the Jackson State band program for still being able to find the time to practice and coordinate logistically attending games and practices giving their experiences during the Jackson water crisis. I think that both bands did an absolutely wonderful job, both sound really good!Personally, I enjoyed Jackson State‘s band better. I enjoyed their aggressiveness, arrangements, and execution much better. One of the better SHC battles! Hats off to both bands BOOM & AOB!

[@TheTeamIsSHaRP]

Yes. Coming from SCSU, I'm very impressed with the amount of work and sacrifice the band members are laying down. God bless you all and I hope God heals your city.

[@lorenemoore4220]

Yes through it all they are persevering🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@devinpowell1276]

Jsu style of playing just makes you groove no matter what the song is. The percussion plays a huge part in that on a side note

[@lorenemoore4220]

Let's uplift each other guys! Of course some sounds are different than others. However, let's appreciate the talent that each band has to bring us each week!! Everyone has worked hard to bring us this awesome musicality!!! I enjoyed both bands along with noticing the differences in their sound and style as well. Everyone lets plz enjoy this year of greatness and appreciate each band with some uplifting comments!!!!

[@DelmusicLover]

The SONC BOOM 😮‍💨my goodness! So clean and powerful. The fact that this band is giving the same energy and professionalism in lieu of a major crisis is so humbling. Great job both bands… but The Boom 💥 is just on another level.

Crazy to hear ppl say Thee Boom isn't balanced. The woodwinds sounding off strong on top of brass and every section in the brass is heard. Thee Boom is literally the most balanced SWAC band this year.

[@BandHeadBoom]

People can’t say anything about the trumpets now so now they’re making up this balanced crap. It’s always something folks try to create this narrative that’s based on hate.

Thanks for filming this. It wasn't that many videos of this game like it usual is. I really like TSU and their song selection. They have a very unique style of play and their sound clarity is unmatched. Anybody on here that calls them or any other college band high school is a fool and really don't know a thing about bands, arrangements and music in general. Trolling other bands is so wack and lame in 2022.

[@jabo2274]

Jackson and let's get it on 🔥 🔥

[@reginaldbond7749]

I understand that some people may have given jsu the W and personally I understand why. Now to say TSU sound high schoolish or to think that jsu blew them out is simply ridiculous. Killing me softly was a great arrangement because it was just like the song on the radio and it had style. It was not a high school arrangement nor are any of tsu arrangement ,so if those are your thoughts then I question your understanding of music. Jsu is one of the best that ever did it and Tsu is also one of the best that ever did it. Wonderful 5th but to me it's a tie but can understand if someone says jsu got the w or if tsu got the w. No blow outs here.

[@LordDreek-Amen-Ra]

It's the Percussion parts that make it sound off. It's either the drum heads or the parts all together. Those white bass drum heads give that concert feel, but the band doesn't play that style. I could be wrong 🤷

[@finisher3x]

JSU won the 5th quarter, but they definitely lost the halftime performance. TSU's element has always been with the on the field halftime show. TSU blew them out of the water on the field. In the 5th quarter though, the Boom got their swagger back.

[@nigelholland1714]

Stands is where it’s at and JSU blew them out, and were clean and powerful with. TSU isn’t a clean as they use to be at all, nor as powerful(weren’t known for power anyways ). TSU has always been good when it comes to halftime shows. Stands leave that to the SWAC

[@FinestOfTheSouth]

When all else fails, just say the Boom doesn’t play with dynamics and suddenly everybody has a PhD in music lmao. This is a BATTLE, not the damn Carnegie Hall. Most of these bands don’t truly play with dynamics, just a simple crescendo here or there and at the end. That impresses y’all? 😂😂 Simpletons. I appreciate the Boom for saying f*ck all that, and just pushing sound and power across the field. They stick true to their identity. Also, this argument about the use of dynamics in marching band battles is SILLY. True use of dynamics is multidimensional and has moving parts. If a band were to execute that in an outside stadium, you wouldn’t be able to hear all the parts across the field. Then y’all would be complaining about volume. This is how I know most of y’all aren’t actually musicians. Just armchair band directors. If I want TRUE dynamics, I’m going to buy tickets to a orchestra concert. If I’m coming to see a marching band, I want it to be so loud I want my wig blown back off my head.

Sounds like only 10-15 of Tnsu tubas are pushing fr and unless it’s quarter notes I mainly hear fluff. No way 16 tubas should full the stadium up damn near more than 28-30 tubas and sound cleaner doing so. Neither section was perfect but DT was much better here

[@BandHeadBoom]

Same thing I said. I was at the game and when Silver Thunder was marching in 30+ deep I was like Dawg Team in trouble. But then hearing them throughout the game I was like there’s no difference in sound. Not only that, DT was cleaner! It goes to show you, size means absolutely nothing. In 2017, DT was small and still pushing too!

[@Kjthebass]

@@BandHeadBoom I got clips from both said and I can say DT wasn’t all that they was thin on every high part they had And they was bricking too much you just can’t hear it that good on camera I also had silver thunder they had a couple mess ups but I can say that silver thunder took the W people don’t wanna accept the fact because nobody gives tsu tubas the credit and everyone would go for Dawgteam no matter how bad or decent they sound which that’s just normal plus jackson on straight Conns good horns tsu still play on horns from the 90s and 80s and still managed to push with them like cmon let’s be serious

Jsu had a few empty moments but strong presentation. Tnsu was typical tnsu. Not bad at all. Just wanting that wow moment. 4 out of 5 both bands easy. What I like a about tuba section the most is the variety and depth of skill. They can play a wide range and it's awesome.

[@zulu3274]

🙂yup ..Coming from someone who is unbiased to both of these bands.... To say that TNSU doesn't sound good is an absolute lie... Even though JSU has a lot of volume and skill, much of their song selection was some "WTF is that? " stuff... Even with having volume /power when you're playing songs, the crowd doesn't recognize in most cases it won't help necessarily win the battle... Both did great but to say TNSU got totally smashed is inaccurate... That killing them softly and Batman theme was super nice by TNSU Let's get it on by JSU was great too...

[@sordidC]

Finally hearing the entire thing. This was a solid L for the AoB. AoB sounds "good" for who they are, but to be honest they sounded like they didn't really their music. And they didn't play anything that compared to what JSU played skillwise except maybe Batman. I think AoB should've began the battle with Batman. Word UP was a bit unnecessary. Trombone chords didn't really come through on that one. JSU did everything better, even W&T. Yeah they were very loud but they outplayed TnSU.
