Girl on tenor pushed dude out the way at 5:15 and got her jam on! Lol

[@TrevJ91]

I think that was planned but great showmanship lol

[@justjay07]

Nah that wasn’t planned hit it was still funny. I dug it

[@velvetsowell4151]

I will never understand why they be hating on Cold Steel. Norfolk is great too but they don't have what Cold Steel has. They both NCA&T & NORFOLK bring their own unique style to the MEAC.

[@autumn5211]

Was the Booing necessary?? Very distasteful.

[@musyckman]

Autumn Cox I guess: call it a repeat of what A&Ts crowd did to NSU last year...which was way worse. It’s a rivalry after all

[@autumn5211]

@@musyckman I have watched band brawls and drum line comps between NCAT and Norfolk from all the way from 2008 to now , and it is always Norfolk crowd doing most of the booing. Regardless of who is booing, it is so unnecessary. Especially when you knowww a band did a good job and you boo them? That is just straight up hate lol. Both are bands are good . And i am well aware it's rivalry. I didn't need the explanation, but thanks.

[@AKINGSKYD]

Both schools boo and I mean BOTH. Those cats in Aggieland don’t play. So save that mother Teresa stuff for another day.

[@Big_Bake]

A&T gets boo'd in Norfolk and NSU gets boo'd in Greensboro. Is what it is. College rivalries are hostile environments

[@AKINGSKYD]

I’ll just say this. I got respect for CS and when y’all slowed it down and grooved, that was tough.

[@tinayvette]

Both drum lines are great. The boos are annoying though. It’s the only thing I hate when other bands come to NSU to perform. I can’t even hear certain cadences well because of the boos. And this is coming from a Virginia resident 👏🏾

[@tasharradavis124]

They boo because they rivals. Many HBCU rival bands boo each other no matter how good

[@tasharradavis124]

no matter how good the performance is.

[@AKINGSKYD]

When NSU travels to T its the same environment sooo...

Smh I ain’t gone front son, I got my cardio done fa the day just watching Cold Steel

[@justjay07]

Nate B. ChillinG they did too lol!! The most dancing ass drum line I ever seen lol

[@kadeemgray93]

Two different style drumline.A&T CS is just all entertainment. They put on a show for the people. NSU "MT" focused on being clean and showing technique. Displaying discipline and musicianship.

[@JT565M29]

I have to agree, while I don’t know much about HBCU bands and drumlines I’ve noticed that NSU is highly focused on technique and playing clean. While I think these guys are good, they don’t compare to NSU. I’ve only ever been exposed to corps style marching and have started watching these more and more. Every video I see of NSU I’m constantly blown away.

[@jeremymartin9241]

They showed out! #ColdSteel

[@carolinabailbond]

To put dance coordination with unique style of play is hard, to do something that no other drumline has done before shows precession, and well put together show. To attract younger people that are in high school. Recruitment for these guys are easy. No brainer, I'm from Hampton Va. NSU was okay the quincy was good, but do the samething without looking down and standing still. That would have empress me. A&T STAYED MOVING ALL THE TIME. NO wonder they get requested every year internationally. And win Honda battle of the bands each year.

[@itsvenises2520]

Totally agree. Even during NSU quint segment some were looking up others looking down details and syncing is important too. That takes skill and practice.

[@Tubastein1]

Thankyou. All these folks be talkin about CS focus on entertainment while MD focus on being technical and clean. Bullllllshit, CS has increased their technicality and cleanliness exponentially over the last 10 years but it'll never be good enough for yall unless they change their instrumentation, style and become as one dimensional as most of these other lines, then you'll claim they jackin yall style. Please move on with that.

[@Big_Bake]

No.

[@ReneeRBell]

[@justjay07]

Raven Bell they real clean. That’s cuz the Hardest thing they play is triplets. They are a great great entertainment drum line. Probably the best. But we ain’t EVEN about to pretend Cold steel is the most technical and musically inclined. Not saying they the worst... just that ain’t they area

[@B.Davis1]

justjay07 you sound dumb asab lmao

[@derrickdavid3478]

Awesome job I enjoyed this!

[@Tubastein1]

Please trust me when i tell you that im being as objective as i possibly can. Mdfs didnt do anything that cs could not have done themselves.However, it was mdfs quints that put their performance over the top. Yes, *plinks* and all. Which brings me to this. A&T has some of the best quints in the business, been that way for several years now. Video after video shows these guys playing some difficult and technical passages all on the heads. No rim shots no plinks. Cs needs to capitalize on these guys more.

[@liquidlightz]

operative words: COULD NOT HAVE DONE. Fact is that they didn't do anything close to what MD could do. If that was the case then they should have demonstrated that during this exhibition. THAT is the time you show what your section is made of. If A&T has some of the best quints in the business then please tell this guy in the video link below who saw both lines and said that to him MDFS had the best tenor feature of all time because I didn't find CS on his list. plinks and all. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIiqoaeincR-d5o

Snares sound dirty

[@itsvenises2520]

I’m really asking a question...what does it mean when people say playing dirty on snares? I am just curious.

[@jonb8899]

Adrienne Smith The best way to describe it is sounding together. If you can hear multiple voices, then it’s not together and thus dirty. In this context, the snares should sound like one (though the sound would be thicker than if it was just one person playing). Example: If you take both your hands and tap them on the same surface at the same time, you’ve played cleanly. If you however offset one hand and let them fall, one hand will obviously hit before the other and won’t be together, or dirty.

[@itsvenises2520]

Jon B thank you I always wonder about that. I see that comment all the time.

TJ it’s show style they are not going change that. You are better off watching dci and NSU. Cold steel are hitting rudiments but you are not going to notice bc they will always give you visuals. I like the show style mix with corps. When they perform a new show, you are not going to like it bc it will always have the visuals. They have some videos where they are not moving.
