JSU vs WSSU before Honda 2011, Zero Quarter

JSU and WSSU go at it raw in the eating area before Honda 2011. This s the first time these two bands have met.

[@DizzyTV24]

I don't care what y'all say WSSU had the most heart to step up!

[@mdaggie07]

From an Aggie, much respect to WSSU for standing thier ground and going toe to toe with JSU. They was on some David and Goliath stuff right there.

[@callystarr]

WSSU did they thing, talking about a 96 block versus a band nearly twice the size.

[@johnredd4152]

Don't get me wrong wssu did thy thing but jsu swac was just to much for them

[@HeArtbrEAKKerSPR09]

Be it known that WSSU band director is a JSU graduate, and was the associate director of bands for 11 yrs there. WSSU associate director got his masters degree from JSU, and our Low Brass instructor is a 2005 graduate of JSU...hell even the Chair of WSSU's Fine Arts Department who was present at this battle is a JSU alum aswell. so this was nothing more than a simple showcase of JSU alums to JSU currents. Haters please fall back cause yall are clearly ignorant to what really went down in there

[@johnredd4152]

Jsu killed wssu

[@b_4bricks]

Love me some Jackson State #rawfootage

[@KC816KC]

Man, that would be one hell of a lunch, to eat in between these two bands. Man oh man!

[@BaitFaceNaii]

400 degreez was there favorite song that day lol

[@MaxedOutBrax]

before mass band when all of us were lined up on the field some of the btone players told us how good we sounded and that they were shocked at the amount of sound we were producing...and their band director said himself that we were "clean as a whistle" so i wonder where all these other quotes are coming from by people who aren't in EITHER band?

[@jarvismcconnell8390]

Man can somebody please tell me who that dread head btone player is.. I got a job for him

[@BigDaddy-iu8ip]

Jarvis Mcconnell he mus b the section leader

[@DDDWHATITDO]

yes they did!!!!!!

[@JayJeraude]

I see this as just a friendly competition real quick. . .For those of you who don't know, WSSU Head band director is not only a former JSU band director, but he's also a Jackson State Alumni as well as a former member of the Sonic Boom. . .It was actually hard for me to even see this as a competition. . .LOL. Much Respect Dr. McGruder. . .You working miracles at WSSU!

[@johnredd4152]

I totally agree 👍💯💙

[@johnredd4152]

He new wat jsu was bringing 😂

[@ImmortalxGene]

[@tomleso1456]

i played in a room like this when my band went to nationals, it makes u sound loud as anything

[@JamesBond-tj7ms]

A&T is no comp for the Sonic Boom of The South they will get dealt with just like SU dealt with them...

[@DrumLuv23]

Now you guys have to give it to WSSU. JSU was big and powerful, but WSSU was NOT scared and they brought it hard.

[@danieltrejo1231]

thx bro

[@JBrooks02]

It is good to see that WSSU, who is filled with Jackson State alums on staff, is doing so much better now than what they used to be. It was also good for Magruder to have his kids square up against a heavy weight like the Boom. Great footage. "Luv Da Boom!"

[@zaytovan205]

WSSU trumpets was on deck 2

[@GVocalz3]

JSU got the MEANEST DM line in all of HBCU! I've heard WSSU, you all are awesome as well... LOVE the video

[@hoodfigga92]

[@Lady-Shun94]

Gosh i love the BTONES!!!!! im going to play Btone for them next year!!!! God Willing!!!!

[@regal394]

you didnt get to hear WSSU, the camera stayed on jsu's side

[@3dcotman]

Man I remember this like it was yesterday, we were blocked up bout to head towards the field (vsu) . JSU gave it to them boys!

[@adereyanmartin1359]

What Do you expect? That's A Swac going Against A Meac at The Time Now a CIAA. State Didn't Have No Chance But they Held they own

[@Bandcentral]

@@adereyanmartin1359 WSSU was not in the Meac during this time,They was definitely in the CIAA

[@Matt201215122093]

JSU Trumpets and baritones alone could scare some of these smaller bands out there

[@ChicagoBandHead]

O wait this makes sense. Magruder is at WSSu now right? He was arranger at JSU. I miss the boom sound after he left

[@dbaile2]

yeah the boom best thing in the swac...yall be blowin and the dm's is on point...

[@mrdarienp]

..............................B-TONES!!!!

[@SAC010]

@BCCHSMD amen!!

[@cedfri]

LOL at the head DM 5:49

[@Cmeansbsktbl]

@FiveStarTubaGeneral it's "BMF" by Rick Ross

[@aaron27909]

Dem Btones from Jackson, whewww!!!! I got to give it up to Winston to though.The heart is there and from where they came from they are doing a remarkable job.Nothing like HBCU marching bands!

[@neshamills2844]

Jus won period the difference is everything with jsu was on point

[@HeArtbrEAKKerSPR09]

@JaKaili01 Thank You for understanding it was just a friendly competition...and not only is Magruder an alum, our associate director of bands Mr. Armstrong got his masters at JSU and our Low Brass instructor Mr. Poplar is an alum aswell, as our department chair who was also in attendance...so it was all luv

[@TheDragonmaster18]

WSSU got this one mostly because they sounded better than JSU. not hatin i love the boom but i look at things from a technical point of view.

[@WarbringerJalen]

@KapitolKartoon09 Blowin money fast

[@mtez344]

they bout the same size now if a&t was in front of them then they would have pushed no excuse

[@ShyG327]

I really had fun this year at honda! Im looking forward to another great year with WSSU. Just remember that no matter how big a band is or how great the sound, people are ALWAYS gonna rep their school because of the pride and hardwork they put into their program. NOW, HOW ABOUT THEM EUPHO's?? lol #teamgirlontheEUPHO

[@dstgirl9of9]

SUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ajizzlesoe13]

Oooooh boy! Btones went in!!!

[@Futureboi01]

only reason ik is because we play this

[@QDOG97QDOG]

BOTH brought there A game

[@riptordaking]

@bjswanzy the song before under pressure was "this way"

[@1_Handsome_Gentleman]

Them Damn Btones went off.........luv da boom

[@nastynobel1]

I love Doc Magruder to death, hell I marched for him at JSU, but dayum, JSU is just a diffrent beast!

[@railowe]

nobody does it better

[@KapitolKartoon09]

@Greenboy270 that shit crank

[@Ozmosesfr]

you going there

[@TheDragonmaster18]

the rams got this one mostly cause they sounded better. which is what matters most

[@cubsfan741777]

Gotta say heard this for the 1st time and JSU won!!!! BIG TIME

[@DDDWHATITDO]

OK......haven't heard either of them in 04 but will check them out thanks KC816KC!

[@Unfit4lyf]

4:33 wow!

[@n2deep56]

Ok......before we get ahead of ourselves remember that this was in a cafeteria, therefore the sound is muffled and that is why WSSU sounds almost as powerful as the boom. No doubt they were putting out some very good sound for their size, but out in the open you would really hear the difference.....just look at the field shows and you will hear a huge difference in the sound of the two. Still big props to WSSU and Magruder for stepping up and not being afraid! Good job!

[@Cmeansbsktbl]

@extremegunn94 the guys in the "pilot" suits are the band director and assistant directors. The white guy is over War & Thunder, JSU's drumline. I have heard that they're playing MSU next year, but I'm not positive

[@SonicBoomC98]

We've already played A&T before. I guess some people would like to see us battle NSU since one of our old directors had returned to NSU

[@Futureboi01]

No Body Does It Better

[@2014smilealot]

am i the only one who see on wssu song in the cafe area, the fuckn band drum majors going to different ways??

[@trumpetman6530]

@BCCHSMD vsu had to leave, bcu and scsu wanst even in our dressing area props to wssu they stood up to us not many bands would have nutted up and challenged back.

[@MrCleanMississippi]

Great battle on both sides. If WSSU had the #'s JSU had it would've been an even tougher battle.

[@Da0r1g1nal]

lol... everybody talking about the clarity and technicality of the two.... The only reason you cant hear JSU's "technique" is bc of the room... If you were in a band this size and you played "King Cotton" in there it woulda sounded a fool.... lol... Yall kill me wit these comments!

[@Mithosphere]

interesting how JSU chooses to hold their sousaphones...clearly not the traditional and preferred way. I wonder how the overall balance is and visibility of each player works out.

[@TooSaxy_4ya]

Whoaa the Red Ocean of Soul??? o_0???? The Red Sea of Sound!!

[@Gentleman1911]

@shakel2 I corrected the name playa. My slip up. No disrespect.

[@NemoSteamo]

What kind of snare heads do they use ?

[@blackrvdful]

who better jsu or alabama state

[@Gentleman1911]

@Bigal98550 I obtained the footage from my other camera man who got this on his camera phone. This is all he could get. Sorry.

[@shedricksims4312]

They did realize they were inside

[@KeneciARTStudios]

cant wait to play btone at jstate

[@MicahiLove]

Well everyone considers louder "winning" so the numbers go to JSU. WSSU pound for pound put out some heat. We already know about JSU

[@PurpleLionRs]

I'm switching to btone just beecause of the btone section leader at jsu

[@HotOffThePressFilms]

JSU guy blew d---m instrument so hard, I thought his jaw was gonna burst!! LOL. They are a good band always to me, #1 competitor for the Aggies of A&T in my opinion but my money is on the blue & gold!! Gotta love that Aggie pride!!

[@peridot29]

Geing an Aggie Alum, I have to give props to the RAMS which was representin' the NC. I remember back in the day , the AGGIES MARCHING 100 did the samething to those cocky SWAC school...SU knows exactly what I'm talking about... 2003 Keep stepping up to them RAMS!

[@snare4lyfe08]

@MagnificentSax I AGREE DEFINITELY, like its only 8 bands maybe 9 but if yuu take out the djs and stuff it will allow time for this kinda stuff, true people that understand band would know dont nobody really give 2 fucks about the show since nobody really places or wins at honda anyway. real band people wanna see battles, such as drumlines, tubas, trumpets, b-tones, trombones, ect. yea fieldshows are nice and fun but the battle really prove a point, to be honest ill take a battle over a show

[@anthonywomack9407]

What is the name of the song when the b-tones were out front

[@eddiedavis2867]

Blowing money fast

[@antoniyobell4232]

Nobody does it better

[@extremegunn94]

I've always wondered who are the guys in those suits with like a pilot on.. white and black guys if it makes a difference..

[@dcswag824]

@pvuband78752 Under Pressure.

[@GVocalz3]

I have said this SEVERAL times, I would LOVE to see them go at it with NSU (Norfork State University). I think the two bands are so evenly matched but a slight edge would have to go to NSU, I was hoping either they would win the SWAC or SU would win but I guess I'm gonna have to deal with them beating up on Grambling...

[@grandmasterjax21]

ur welcome

[@grandmasterjax21]

they have blessing btones, meaning its easy as the fuck to get a sound off of them i wanna see them fools do that with kings!!

[@renandezm]
