[@marlonmcleod7450]

Just can't get enough of watching Jefferson Davis high school band. They are very entertaining!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@eileengarcia7923]

Hats off the conductor and all the folks that work behind the scenes to make these young people OUTSTANDING!

Vanilla Funk at it again, and this time repping for us mellophone players everywhere 💞

[@dangutube5420]

That's what it is lol. Never heard of a mellophone

[@princessc.2451]

@@dangutube5420 It's basically the marching horn version of a French Horn. You play mellophone during marching season and French Horn during concert season.

[@Ifonlyyouknew1976]

They are so young both bands were good. When those drum majors came out it was over with sorry. Edit: Hunters Lane was on point with the songs choice and sound.

[@bigwill8773]

Hunter Lane Band is tighter and Jefferson Davis dancing is tighter!

[@GodsAlto]

I agree

That’s why Justin is drum major he puts his all into it! That’s right baby put that back into it ❤️😂

[@faoulyslaughter3133]

Need 2 move that float out the way. But Hunter Lane musical selection was a beast specially playing Ape Sh*t by Beyonce at 20:08 then hitting them again with Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake at 32:35 But Jefferson Davis choreography is phenomenal especially guys girls and the band playing a part

[@KillaKevProd]

This is the middle of a parade, there's nowhere to move the float to until the end lol

[@codebrker24]

I just noticed that the female trumpet player has a boot on her foot! Now that is what I call dedication. They really sound nice.

[@SL-vs7fs]

Who else grinned watching these two bands? I couldn’t stop.

[@felixdom9693]

Justin energy really something else. Not only lead the band be lead majorett he still vibing doing this

[@denicewms]

Hunter Lane band killed this. Band was lively, crisp, loud and ready! When Jefferson Davis finished a set, w/o delay HL was responding. Plus HL looked to be having more fun with music selection and band energy. Great battle! Thanks for posting.

[@better_days]

I love to see them closer together...HL band really is giving JD some competition I have never before. JD is from my home state. Very good show off

[@KillaKevProd]

Here’s another battle between the 2. Check this out!

[@Bfoots1952]

Both of these bands are highly entertaining. However, I give Hunters Lane an edge on tone quality and song choice. I give Jeff Davis an edge on chorography. Love them both!! ❤️☺️❤️👏👏👏👏

Jefferson had a lot energy. Both bands was selections was on point. Man I miss this took me back.

[@donanjelox6990]

My man Vanilla Funk out here babyyyy yeaaaaa... good job all

[@freer1176]

He gentrifying the band. When he's done having fun with the band I guarantee he will not hire anyone of them given the opportunity nor patronize their businesses when they own one. When will we ever learn as a culture? They use us and then leave us behind.

Congratulations is not enough of a word to indicate how worthy, and important, everyone and students are toward this community...... London-UK.... Wish I was there last year......

Got to love Hunters Lane since the school is near me. The drum majors with J.D. are the best.

Marching bands are such a huge part of Mardi Gras, not just in NOLA but coastal Mississippi, Alalbama and beyond.Thank you for the hard, long days and nights working to thrill all of us with the sound and the look and the chills and the excitement.

[@caleb081590]

You can tell the blue band actually cares about intonations and tone more than jeff davis. You can play this type of music and still have a good sound.

[@caleb081590]

I mean listen to some if LSU’s new stuff.

[@caleb081590]

Also, everyone knows the more intune you are. The louder the sound.

[@amandasmith3154]

The blue band never lost the integrity of the sound throughout the whole thing and that means everything to me!!

[@user-kp8tf7id9n]

The lady dancing with her son (?) at 18:45 is my favorite. She's adorable and the boy is so cute. She's having a great time. I love it when the crowd has fun. Makes me smile. ❤️

green band a littlle better. a little more soul. blue were blowing a little louder. but the girls dancing, and boys and choreograph y, were superior.. and i gotta say, the white boy dancet made it easy to pic a clear winner. that kids got more soul and rhythm than half the kids in the band combined.. .... hes got enough charisma to go around and its gotten on the rest of his bandmates. his timing and follow through with his movements is amazing...shows strong character. the boy might need to be in a school of dance in n. y. city on a scholarship......
