ProfSnipes1 sir..... It is a privilege to see the maximum impact you are having on this program. I marched 03-06 and 07 Student Director @TXSU and to see Where this WAS at from then to now, is a total 180° turn. Back then they were on the cusp of something great. I imagine the vision and leadership was executrd the way it should have to put them over the top. Now sir you have them there! #Soprivilegedtowitnessthegrowthsir!

[@RZAthletics]

Loved it! So proud of the band and the creative push of gymnastics in the dance routine; recognizing all the talent these young ladies have is awesome (wish the cartwheels were cleaner but of course loved my baby’s tumbling pass). Keep it up ladies! This young majority freshmen team will be awesome in the upcoming years!!

[@JeffGVideos]

[@IamJesusWalks]

Jeffery Gordon Sooooo you mentioned that like a Gospel Song was supposed to save their performance, or them from criticism... 😂😂 mkay

[@JeffGVideos]

IamJesusWalks boy shut up, not at all

[@The190647]

Jeffery Gordon The crowd loved it in QC and Honda, F#ck the haters!!

[@ProfSnipes1]

earnest roper the stadium was singing 🎤

[@IamJesusWalks]

ProfSnipes1 To say "the stadium was singing" is just like saying "we passed around a sign that said Pass This To Your Neighbor If You Love Jesus, Only Sinners Won't Pass It," and it made its way around. Generally folks sing church music if they know it... #1 As a sign to spectators that they "know the Lord..." and want to be seen as such, and #2 Because it's generally a thing to do as religion or spirituality hits to most comfort zones at any given time, particularly if it gives good or calming vibes. Who wants to be seen sitting in a seat, mean muggin with they arms folded to church music, when you can't even tell a bunch of black followers that NOT typing "Amen" doesn't mean you actually denying God. These folk don't know better, and it's damn near tradition to honor God regardless of this situation... please leave yourselves out of it! The only person who couldn't have had the stadium singing along is Trump and Omarosa...

[@sbwos]

Beginning of the show had mountains of energy. The dance line feature wasn't to impressive. Miles sounds awesome never thought I'd say it. But the sound and and volume was perfect for the stadium. I got back into the show as it went along great energy again. I applaud the gospel feature but could have done without the choir. Overall miles great representation of the SIAC. GLAD TO SEE YOU MADE IT

[@deshaundavis7411]

That was fun #HBOB

[@terrancesneed3757]

A great show. The energy was definitely there. For every mountain was nice. Although it didn't have the same effect as how excellent in QC. Although I think bad mic feedback may be the culprit. It was difficult to hear the vocalist clearly.

[@jamylephillips7792]

Awe man... I was with Miles for a minute. Half way through I was like this is good stuff. Then the choir 😕😕. Now while that would have been great for a home show with a gospel tribute this was supposed to be a battle. Now I have to look back at PV with the crooked lines ⚟ and see what I can dig up... And they have power and a nice sound too. Oh well... 😶😶

[@jimmyjames2496]

I love the Golden Stars energy!

[@dedrickdantrail9492]

Ima really need for the golden stars to step it up i had high hopes but the band looked an sounded amazing!!

[@7xsystem369]

SIAC D2, PMM!!!!!

[@ProfSnipes1]

DEATH BONES the only !

[@insightonline]

I like Miles Band Program and the energy felt amazing, But that PA System muddled the audio. Guess it’s one of those things where you had to be there. I’ll search for another clip. Looking great Miles 👏🏽

[@TheRobertjess]

insightonline I agree to PA system but them don't sound good

[@insightonline]

Robert White yeah... but they went for the epic ending. I would love to hear this in a more controlled environment. Maybe with woodwinds and lower brass playing the Keyboard Intro and perhaps tubas taking the string-bass part. Just saying

[@addisonbrown2262]

I was there and the PA system sucked in person too. It was loud and muffled. I felt my pancreas moving the ground was shaking so vigorously.

[@insightonline]

Addison Brown Lol 😂😂 Oh Hell nawl, not your Pancreas moving from the earth shattering musical styles of Miles College Band.

[@addisonbrown2262]

insightonline oh hell yes.

[@ryanchristopher2020]

Dynasty PMM

[@marcharrison1]

Did they really just play Whitney Houston and turn around and play Bobby Brown. 😂

[@taronfurlow3418]

[@jaisonlives]

TxSu has been doing that same entrance since the 80's.

[@jakearmstrong6993]

It’s a tradition at Miles too.

[@aprilmcmillian9752]

[@ProfSnipes1]

April mcmillian thanks for the kind words!!

[@THEMIGHTYPANTHERS97]

[@ProfSnipes1]

T Rex it’s all fun!’

[@ProfSnipes1]

T Rex we want it with the world!! This what make us great !!

[@jamesk5976]

Miles let me down .. I thought they would be #2 tonight . But doing the “gospel gimmick” is old now. It worked in Charlotte and by all means they rocked that in Charlotte. But geez.. be more creative. This is why A&T stay ahead of others on the field . Smh 🤦‍♂️.

[@planetpressureprod6302]

James K it’s not a gimmick we are a Christan School if you don’t know

[@8101753]

Lol Miles is a Christian school tho...

[@jamesk5976]

Cranking Kong it’s still a gimmick. Say what u want . So u a Christian school but shaking ya ass on the field First then going to go into a gospel song ... but that’s not a gimmick? Lol get real. I been following miles for awhile. It’s no hate. I rocks wit miles in the stands . But field wise .. yea needs help.

[@monsterboy3005]

James K A&T’s show was boring lol no one is even talking abt them yes I did go to Honda so I believe me opinion is a bit more valid

[@jamesk5976]

monster boy300 yea I was there too . If you think A&T Show was boring then all credibility that you might have had is gone. Some of us who are actual music educators judge on more then “cranking” . Let’s not speak from a bias fans position, but more done from a musical excellence position.

[@lennicegray6610]

Those dancers was not together! Shm!!

[@wrecklessteees5302]

a hot mess who every choreograph there dancers routine.

[@8101753]

Dunlap Entertainment *their

[@dancing00074]

🗣Lies bitch that was one if the cleanest features.💺 Have several💺💺💺 better yet wake up fool u 🛌👈

[@wrecklessteees5302]

LOL number 1 not one dancer had any energy performing, 2 part their routine looks like they in a work out class, most of them need to work on their extensions , all those matter when you wanna be the best, u always want leave the dance floor stamping you name on the the floor and they did not sorry!

[@rknighton28]

I know I'm about to be labeled a hater, but those lines need some help. I'll be interested to see how they fair in New Orleans.

[@zeusnupe8254]

rknighton28 much easier it's a parade 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@rknighton28]

ZeusNupe The battles before the parade are the true test.

[@curtispeoples8146]

[@parishamilton99]

Can't bite a band that they are better than

[@miguelt6005]

Paris Hamilton k that’s where you tried it at lol.

[@TheCocoshanell]

Miles never in life will be better than SU. Matter of fact, yall not even close NOW.

[@IamJesusWalks]

The Drummajor entrance was about two 8-counts too long. Shoulda ended at the splits... everything after that was lackluster and unnecessary. 1st song choice: Neck. Not only did it remind me of TXSU coming out the hole to Neck, but the movements were oddly similar to the same exact moves as TXSU does to the same song. Unless that's a tribute or a slug to TXSU---hated it! Not original. Downfield Drill was pretty cool. I would've preferred for the "M" to be designed with a continuous flow of movement, instead of an 8-count pause. "I'm your baby Tonight" was cool, But that "My Prerogative" went on forever. That song is not even that great to be stopping and restarting again... I was over that song for sure! Then those Miles dancers are RathchetAF.... They are Alcorn Dancers + JSU dancers, but on steroids! I don't even wanna spend anymore time on them. They needed to just Praise Dance and getta better routine than that! I also didn't care for the transitions in band formations. At one point they were signaling Aliens right before spelling "SIAC" ...they had to have spelled something else, it was just too much unnecessary movement for them to not have. Then they drop that to walk into a different formation that was disorganized? Nah. Just too much! Gospel Song at the end. Not my favorite. I think they should've had better use of their Flags for a song like this at a major BOTB. I mean, unless it had a different effect in the stadium, I didn't see the use of the song, or its choir, and lead singer make or break the performance. The singer, choir, nor band had a climactic point during that song at all. The singer seemed to give the typical 11 o'clock service vocals. There was nothing Easter Sunday special about it. In all, I give this show a C+

[@monsterboy3005]

IamJesusWalks were you at Honda???

[@thekingpriest2518]

😂😂😂

[@IamJesusWalks]

monster boy300 so they gave a different show for the people at the Honda I suppose huhn?

[@ProfSnipes1]

This is a great comment I’ll make sure I’ll call you before our next show. This is so Intelligent that you talk about a hbcu on KZbin. My number is 205-929-1520 Prof

[@travisjohnson057]

U seen dat ocean of soul entrance huh...its cool as an ocean alum I'm flattered

[@rknighton28]

I'm sorry but this fieldshow was all over the place. It wasn't pleasing to the eye at all. I found myself looking interest about at the 6 min mark.

[@taronfurlow3418]

Ok Miles 👌👌
