If it's about a big band, Jackson State got it. If it's about the BEST band, North Carolina A&T got this hands down. I love the sound, the key changes, and the overall quality of the sound.

@NateDawg748 I have never seen a band win a competition without marching. SU Jags utilize the entire field with their drills while marching 8 to 5. These stand still in 1 place drills by A&T was so high school. Bands are supposed to MARCH like SU MARCH! Lol!

For yall to say NCAT "put in our place" is a GIANT reach. Please explain how that was so because...ur ruuh... I missed what was so special and dominant about yall show. Go watch Da Boom's show then re-evaluate those "put in they place" comments.

[@DemMommaJeans]

Coming from both sides of the track Marched Blue Devils and PVAMU BOX i have to say. You Can’t call yourself Band of the year if it was only 4 bands showing up in 2 divisions. If You’re going to do something like what DCI is doing then have the top 10 most voted bands battle in both divisions. Have Division 2 do it on a Saturday with Awards and Division 1 on Sunday with Awards. Also if this was scored Upload the score sheet on a website designed for HBCU Band of the Year so the band can see what they are lacking. So that way they can work on it for Next Years Competition if they do another one because from the stand its sad that there was little to no one in those stands supporting the bands.

[@rebekahgrider7348]

And it would have been better to see the show front facing AND from the 50 yard line! This angled view makes it difficult to make out the formations!

[@Rickeytherealist1]

North Carolina A&T State University* or just put NCAT

[@audreychatman1591]

Okay show…..

[@UMG-b3r]

I've been in several band competitions. Flags and colors usually wins the judges over. I was on NCAT side. Their sound was really good. That being said, they would have lost on transitions. JSU lines were cleaner, and their transitions were better. If my director wanted to pick up a quick trophy against bands that dance more. We would do more corp style, with a flag routine and a 30s dance. By the way stand selection was a part of it.

[@drequynnrod5077]

How can y’all judge a show from the back compared to jsu full show from the front entire sound too u can’t

[@icecold27406]

Besides Coldsteel is way better than JSU drumline anyway! Top 2 drumlines will Always be CS & MDFS!! Not even close!!

Doing tricks doesn’t equate to being the best drum line .

[@icecold27406]

We do more than tricks....I can't help it we're versatile!! We do more than one thing!!!

I have issues whenever I see a band with flag girls, I know something is missing. Does this suppose to be the ESPN band of the year?

[@organizednoise9614]

The shots taken at JSU in these comments to make this show look better is ridiculous…. From an unbiased opinion and a fan of A&T, I’ve seen better than this…. This show was kinda mid to be honest 💯

[@belindamoore3181]

A one dimensional SWAC hater with basic drills and a mediocre drumline feature 😂. Explain to me why JSU felt the need incorporate a drumline feature when they normally don’t 🧐.

[@derrell9259]

​@belindamoore3181 you obviously have never seen a jsu field show as the drumline plays cadences as they realign in their field shows all the time. The only difference is they had the announcer say something. And after seeing theNCAT show, maybe the promoters of this event asked for this feature.

[@Avery-Mac]

Love JSU’s band. I liked their show tonight better than NCAT but their drum line isn’t good. Best two HBCU drum lines are Cold Steel and MDFS out of Norfolk. War and Thunder is a mediocre group.

[@belindamoore3181]

@@derrell9259I saw it today! It was mediocre, and the tuning of their drums are horrible. SWAC drum lines are comical to cold steel, mdfs, and sudden impact, and bingo bros 🥴

ESPN got issues, JSU don't waste your time attending this crap, this band doesn't know how to march. Should be the walking band, surely, ESPN doesn't know anything about music or marching bands. This show got issues.

[@JessieMarshall-ti8mp]

Well, ESPN sucks, You need to become knowledgeable of musicians and marching bands before trying to organize events like this. Because with this, I thought I was watching a PWI school. NCAT, need help, maybe, you need to attend JSU summer band camp. My High School band would give you a run for your money. I hate it when organizers are dishonest, this band is full of flag girls, you have more flag girls than you have members of the band playing instruments. What the hell with the marching, you are moving sideways like a PWI. This is horrible, never ever again am I going to attend a ESPN BOTB event. ESPN, it is great that you got money, because I see you can buy whatever you want , especially when you are the organizer of this sick event. Are you familiar with HONDA BATTLE of THE BANDS, because HONDA knows how to organize, something you lack or knows nothing about. ESPN stick to SPORTS because-as you can see you are out of your lane.
