Kennedy Vs. St. Aug 1993 (Mardi Gras)

[@yobartenda]

My crab year at the K! Damn this brings goose bumps. Rip Doc and Hamp. Thanks for raising some great people for New Orleans and the world . 🌎

[@w.stewart3532]

The top 2 bands in the city

[@marionmarion6852]

along with alcee Fortier

[@pulladunn9798]

@@marionmarion6852 Fortier was nice but their arrangements was not up to par for St Aug or Kennedy. St. Aug & Kennedy's Band Teachers was known legends of NOLA school Marching Bands in the 70's, 80's & 90's... IJBH 🤷🏿‍♂️🤔💯

[@mlmkwm]

Kennedy use to sound like they had about 100 people just in the Lower Brass alone. LOL!!! I miss these days.

I can relate...I'm not from the boot but I'm from Worthing High School in Houston Texas...class of 1997...played btone, tuba , and trombone... maaan them days there were some of the best music being played ..we had people who played in the band and sang in the church choir...ears tuned ...so much to say but those were some good times for high school bands...

I get goosebumps from watching this man how time flys

[@rahlohmcdonogh280]

St.Mary's was in the area too with over 120!!

[@asykes9]

[@mrmj103]

Damn watching this again you can peep the color guards getting into a little scuffle while Aug was playing In The Stone

[@StepUpAimHigh]

TapeMaster, U have K vs. Aug 94 Mid-City????

[@americanindian5259]

These days are far gone. Bands not the same more

[@StepUpAimHigh]

I cant lie Da K got us this year, but i still say we were too damn small to be that loud 88 people.....great battle. 93 & 95 were some classic years for Da K

[@EarthAngel504]

Yes sir would have to look for it though.

[@michaelwilliamssr8942]

Of course the “K” busted that a••! I was there cymbal section right hand side! R.I.P. “Doc!”

[@gw504saints]

I love that 7 minute mark going against K. I was stepping my a$$ off.

[@dylonbrown2250]

What’s the first song that Kennedy played?

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

SKIN I'm in

[@EarthAngel504]

I always come back to this.. was a nice battle But Kennedy gave St Aug. The BUSINESS

[@EarthAngel504]

God.. Kennedy Baritones.. There's NOTHING in the world like Loud and full Upright baritone Section, NOTHING. It gives your band a completely different sound. I believe Bands really shouldgo back to Uprights. or at the least do half and half, or 3 quarter upright and 1 quarter marching

[@Made-sm2de]

Da k brought it but keep in mind this was St Aug second parade of that day and they didn’t back down in true Purple Knight fashion.

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

1st parade,they had Bacchus later

[@bigdozie93]

@@mcdonoghrahloh459 we didn’t do both parades back then. Only Alla and Freret

[@boromy21]

That was Kennedy time to shine. But please look up my senior year 97. Da K got waxed

[@EarthAngel504]

please tell me you're not talking about at the football game.. That video is still on KZbin and the K gave St Aug the business at that game

[@ngomanumu]

Once you repeat a song you have lost the battle.

[@chadcas]

Everyone there that day knows St. Aug didn’t repeat any song “in a battle”. We played the Rain at nobody when Kennedy was getting off of the buses. We played the Rain again just like everyone repeats songs in their parade lineup, Kennedy played Skin and Just got paid many times that day. Same with St. Aug’s lineup of songs, we played the Rain before our battle then again “at” Kennedy ONCE when we both were battling.

[@ngomanumu]

@@chadcas If Da K heard yall playing it when they got off the bus. Then it’s a repeat.

[@THEbeautifuLIE]

@@ngomanumu out of all the arguments available, no one dares act like *the AUG* didn’t have a book. Now, all of a sudden, St. Aug ain’t got no tunes now🙄

[@JosephBouie]

@@ngomanumu LMAO "Cole........ You stupid". Lmao

[@chadcas]

The important part was that Kennedy had no answer for it……just listen.

Dedric Sanders there you go again. smoking dat hyena shit again! lol What up Hog!

[@dblackzilla]

Whats good Joe Bouie!!!

[@EarthAngel504]

Smh.. St.Aug didn't stand a chance

[@ernestferrierjr350]

EarthAngel_A.i. Man that was the year after they kicked damn near half the school. New administration. The band went from 150+ in 91-92 to less than 100 in 92-93... no excuse tho they gave it to us tho. Da K was no punk hat year

[@dblackzilla]

From 91 - 98 the K ruled New Orleans

[@mlmkwm]

Dedric Sanders Bruh...I'll give JFK 92/93, 94/95 and 98/99 school years. That's 3 good years where no one could argue that JFK got AUG. I think you're being a bit bias as for as the rest of those years are concerned, and that's not even taking anything away from JFK, the band I had the most respect for outside of St. Aug.

[@pulladunn9798]

@@mlmkwm I'mma say from 93'- 97'. St Aug was finally able to get back right at the Orpheus Parade in 97'. But for those 4 yrs straight Kennedy's size and book was impeccable. With 92'-93 being their best band to me. I saw them Murda Fortier in 93' at Pan Am. Kennedy sounding like a CD💽. IMHO😲🤫🤔💯

[@chadcas]

😆😂🤣

[@bayouboy97]

94-95 and 96-97 The K got Worked! We gave them the biz !!!!

[@bigrolla6433]

@@pulladunn9798 I was at that game too. I felt da k power on da field when they played it ain't over

[@DaXPerience]

No trumpets. All lower brass. Aug was more balanced

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

K had about 32 trumpets???

[@boromy21]

Where?

[@EarthAngel504]

dude, the camera in right in front of St Aug's band and particularly in front of their trumpet section, Kennedy band was further back, Behind the crowd and they were in parade formation with the trumpets in the back of the band and you can still hear the trumpets even though they were behind the trombones, baritones and mellos, even though they were like a half a block away from the camera.
