I like how The Jukebox is keeping the old school arrangements in rotation and phrasing certain parts just a little different than previous years to give it a new feel, Keep Up the Great Work SU...I see ya tho Talladega!

[@juanc.dallas4198]

Love this song, expresses a lot of emotions in one song, one of Cameo's best pieces of work

[@musiclovnlibra]

Southern’s arrangement is fya 🔥. Hands down the best.

[@pbh07]

Talladega tried it tho! Respect!!!

[@Montyy2x]

Su trumpets ate 😭

[@ItsVeronica_heaux]

And they ate good too 🍽

[@LilQuise86]

Lamont Shanklin I hate em! but I gota love Em! lol

[@Adrian-rj2ld]

Talladega is good but PLEASE don't try to out blow SU, just play your music and you'll be good. SU has mastered the balance of volume and Tone

[@coreyjohnson8781]

They got su on this one

[@sirs.746]

Corey Johnson YOU SMOKING!

[@brentonwebb105]

Definitely gave them a run for their money on Skin on that day.

[@beaulah_califa9867]

Stopped by to say that I agree w/your last sentence. This is why I get so mad when people want to label SU as "LOUD". Well, they are more than that. They are clean, sharp but MOSTLY BALANCED. I wanna apologize for the dudes here who think Dega won that comparison battle.

[@BrooklynDaDon1]

You are definitely smoking they had more volume here just not a better arrangement

[@Drowninginpesos]

Su no doubt. So clean. Every section was on point.

[@yungstarjc4094]

Played to PERFECTION!!!

[@KyuubiVamp]

Love the harmonies on this song

[@ItsVeronica_heaux]

Dega brass section bouta blow a fuse tryna out blow southern. Trumpets soundin like bad brakes. Tubas soundin like 4 flat tires. Just horrible 🙉

[@Montyy2x]

Yea Ian like dega tubas tryna outblow southern... Dega took that L southern was on fire that day especially the field show

[@jamierrorex4023]

Nijul Cable u triping. dega won that one

[@ItsVeronica_heaux]

Yrn Gaming negatory

[@tabithafoss168]

Yrn Gaming You TRIPPIN. Talladega Skin SOUNDS HORRIBLE. Don't know why they PLAYED THAT BULLSHIT BACK AT SU.

[@jamierrorex4023]

Yea what y'all somking on

[@jck1794]

SU was leagues cleaner

[@oktv9741]

Talladega is actually a pretty decent band they just need to control their sound a lil more but they definitely have improved

[@drequynnrod5077]

right it's harsh to the ear like they just blow blow blow seems like each horn is playing I can get louder than u

[@humbletimez]

+Drequynn Rod sadly, that's what it's becoming. a blow off

[@Petefamily]

Whoever wrote SU arrangement is a genius. That sounds just like the real song. Dega has very few runs. SU has a plethora of runs.

[@eduardodavidmartinez]

so much power😭😭

[@brentonwebb105]

My Favorite Band Song, I wonder if everybody in the band knows what the song means. I didnt know for all 4 years of playing it

[@beaulah_califa9867]

It's simple to watch the video. It's about the corruption of white politicians. - maybe jsut presidents I don't remember.

[@kentronchamelon8456]

It is fun to watch people that are passionate and good in what they do. It is fun to watch groups of people perform very well and as one. A marching band is a good example of that. They perform with a lot of togetherness and synchronicity. It is fun to watch the college marching bands march into their stadiums so that they can get ready for their football game activities. Many of the marching band members march in with their game faces on. The musicians and the dancers of those bands are geniuses because they have to memorize a lot in order to be able to perform very well and in great synchronicity whenever they perform anywhere as a group. It is great to be able to read, write, and play music. Everyone on Earth should be a member of some type of musical band.

[@MrJayDee4]

GETS ME EVERY TIME!

[@rollinwitdaholyghost1607]

That’s a SU song all day!! Everyone else needs to leave it alone.

[@demarlonickson3648]

TC please dont ever ever ever ever play that song against SU

[@wwetnatalk9410]

Hbcu!!

[@dantebutler3975]

That boy Denzel on the B-Tone

[@jaywatson8720]

Talladega still doesn't sound as full as SU. Doesn't matter their size either. They always sound deflated despite being loud.

[@malcolmtowler4923]

Most slept on band to me that was there was between Benedict and Tennessee state

[@osbornepicoujr3394]

MAlcolm Towler y c.F. fyi z/ cU sEe c no :) c s ::); g s c/ bY

[@hotboi1906]

SU has that funk

[@kgivens225]

I'm not a dega fan in the least, there arrangements leave a lot to be desired, there control is shaky at best. was at this battle so imma be 100, Su was deff unmatched in sound, intensity and power, man I have to admit them kids from dega was putting there heart into it though. props for steppin up to even battle Southern, no one else was prob willing to. Imma prop dega for this showing, there much improved

[@RickeyMason]

KeithG atleast somebody finally gives Sega credit

[@RickeyMason]

KeithG Sega*

[@kamoxi4252]

Good intonation must be present for all the air you put through the horns to be impactful, Talladega. That's the difference in the two sounds here. Talladega has the sound of many individuals rather than a full balanced and impactful sound. I don't understand how a band at the collegiate level doesn't understand that concept. Staffs out here just allowing students to blow them off the podium, but damn the quality. I don't get it.

[@Clifton3499]

Can we say TC trumpets at the end held that last note perfectly

[@rastalivinn519]

horn wise i give it to the jukebox but percussion wise goes to dega

[@nathanlivingston6130]

new drums I see for TC

[@Enatural_7]

I see you lb on the front row Justin! Spr. 14 - The Kingdom!

[@cedfri]

All the bands didn't show up???

[@dylansmoke_]

They did ... Most showed up late

[@juanc.dallas4198]

Bet Cameo is proud

[@MrRL95]

Dang one of their euphoniums fell off a note...

[@lionelkennedy1394]

Southern U was better. A big wall of sound and well balanced.

[@kekewilliams320]

who's the new dance captain?

[@kimmyw010]

Danielle Stamper

[@juanc.dallas4198]

Seems like Southern's tempo was of the original song while Talladega slowed it down

[@pain8246]

If this was in the actually in the key then I would like it so much better

[@9gottaloveme9]

Even though SU Ifeel played it safe took the win for fullness of sound. Didn't think I'd get into Dega's version but it by far is a punk just needs some attention that I'm sure they're season will bring all the necessary improvements

[@datleoishot84]

nice Morris Brown intro

[@tcgotgame5015]

both bands got su style so it kinda dont matter

[@SLAVE4YAHAWAHSHI]

Southern clearly

[@downsouth822]

Now this da Jukebox I fuck wit.....everything crisp & clear....NOBODY ova playing🤙🏽 But at the end of the day, I stand behind.....J.S.U... great job juke🤙🏽

[@xaviersb2480]

SU is no easy act to follow.

[@REPUBLICANSAREBEYONDSTUPID]

1:21 😆😆😆

[@bigdark67]

Talladega that little bands that sound like a big band but you know Southern handle business

[@TheeMelloMan]

I'm a JSU fan but this shit (SU not TC) sounds great

[@demarcushenderson7418]

how many people in su band this year 230 to 250 look like

[@noa360]

Skin Im In is a marathon song, towards the Dega ran out of gas. I liked it tho

[@JossephDavvid]

Deg ran out of gas. LOL 😆

[@mblak1006]

TC tried tho.

[@mwells6064]

Can't lie I love Talladega deep sound! BUT, Miguel your better than this!

[@juliusaw11]

tu mellow thin

[@juliusaw11]

I meant tc

[@ddh07]

Imagine if either one these bands realize they have woodwinds, how much better would their arrangements sounds. Just a thought.

[@beaulah_califa9867]

Listen to version they deployed last week.

[@Cafe_Es_Bueno]

Actually... They do. And you could hear winds in SU version. But woodwinds do not project sound as well as brass. You don't hear woodwind sounds bouncing off the stadium walls.

[@ddh07]

@@Cafe_Es_Bueno which songs (I'm sure you can find footage from the band that use to boast 1001 watts of sound)

[@Cafe_Es_Bueno]

@@ddh07 @1:46 no disrespect... But if you are/were ever a musician who played in bands you'd know what I said. Much of this arrangement by SU had the woodwinds holding chords. You can't really hear them because as I said before. Their sound does not carry like brass.

[@ddh07]

@@Cafe_Es_Bueno well I guess you are right! Maybe Southern should go back to all brass since their woodwinds can't be heard (in respect to their style). I'm sure you you'll agree since your a musician as well. Also I heard the woodwinds from JSU,BCC,FAMU,TSU,NORFOLK,NORTH CAROLINA A AND T.

[@2que4you]

That was closer than I expected but of course SU got the "W"!

[@BernieB561]

What, Cookman didn't Show Out?!!

[@mblak1006]

SU did it for them

[@drequynnrod5077]

BCU field show was the better of the bands there. they actually did a show not just stand in place for 7 mins playing songs. at that no one matched BCU sound it's like HD clean

[@marionmarion6852]

+Drequynn Rod su clean as hell on here

[@mblak1006]

Drequynn Rod 🤔

[@cj9160]

su

[@richardjohnson9010]

SU busy they azz

[@stillugly6741]

Su way to clean daga just got a better vibe

[@7xsystem369]

ALBANY STATE, HOWARD,SOUTHERN GOT THE BEST SKIN I'M IN.TALLADGEA JUST CAME ON OF NO WHERE!!! TORNADOES GOT SKILL

[@yopapii6978]

[@MrJayDee4]

I will say TALLADEGA wasn't bullshittin"

[@juliusaw11]

[@BLouieMusic]

[@DatBoiLow4]

+BLouieMusic it's a load of screamers listen to fieldshow don't let this video fool yu I was at this battle

[@BLouieMusic]

+DatBoiLow4 well they're not consistent lol I hear them sometimes. season didn't start yet so I can't say too much

[@DatBoiLow4]

Exactly lol

[@juliusaw11]

+DatBoiLow4 na bruh bruh if they screamers they screamers ain't no sometimes lol.......... #wheretherealscreamer

[@lovelydonna45]

Talladega...WTH ?

[@sevenmill448]

TC arrangement was more powerful..SU arrangement was more focused on the runs and breakdowns... ..TC trumpets needs a lil more balance..tho Good job by both schools

[@davionbolden1613]

Really clean but Howard still got a better version

[@TheCorey-yc7ok]

I was born a shapen in inequity/Christ Jesus; yea, even so the perfect sacrifice and recompense of rereward.Amen.

[@jinnocent9782]

Yeah baritones

[@ontarxo]

I prefer Howard's arrangment over both of these

[@malcolmtowler4923]

Bowie States is the bet but tbh it's only because the director wrote Howard's version when he was there

[@juliusmiller8223]

Joshua Gates Your a fucking idiot

[@juliusmiller8223]

Joshua Gates You’re a fucking idiot

[@flyinhawaiian6760]

Malcolm Towler really Morris Browns is.... whew🔥🔥🔥

[@djrodgers9896]

PLEASE don't try to play like SU its not gone work hun

[@jbone8315]

Su won

[@curtispeoples8146]

Dega trumpet section murdered SU trumpet section, I like the switch up in scale execution being that the same song was being played from Dega,both good job! !!!

[@Eusi1984]

at the end of su fieldshow, there were the screamers ;) this is played pretty and fine without over blowing ! diga should try it, but they would FAIL HARDLY !!

[@humbletimez]

Dega will forever sound like a college high school. They trumpets are not clean, at all. They want to be the Jukebox so bad

[@curtispeoples8146]

B Humble I really don't think they want to be the jukebox at all,I think they have a director that was a student in the jukebox under doc,so of course you may see certain things that remind you of the jukebox, but I don't see a total copy of the jukebox! !!!!!

[@humbletimez]

+Curtis Peoples of course not...but they certainly want to be the new badass

[@drequynnrod5077]

+B Humble but they have been giving alot of bands comp big time. it's just that they have no control and they have more practice time. tbh both bands need to step their field shows up I expected more since it was a botb with field shows you can tell stands was a main focus. but overall it's early...bands will improve. and they have no control on their director and his wants. He was the director that had DSU looking nice in 2006.

[@tyreseed5681]

Morris Brown need to come back and teach these folks

[@CADILLACZEAUX]

Tyrese Ed preciate the love #marchingwolverine #fall2k

[@Cerl84]

SU: not bad. trumpets could clean it up in some parts. Su needs some decent tubas. all brass horns, not that half brass shit.

[@darrickbolton8530]

dega sounded HORRIBLE! !! WTF

[@LindsayC.]

Talladega 🤷🏿‍♀️ I can groove to it more su get boring after a while even tho they band better Talladega version is better

[@bandnation2753]

Best comment I saw in years

[@conradscarbrough8030]

Can’t call this one, both arrangements are on point

[@aceumus]

Bonds shouldn't have pulled that one out.

[@atlbandhead6785]

Damn, Anyone else notices how morris brown inspired these bands today? Southern copied their arrangement of skin im in. Jackson trombones stole their whole arrangement of something in my heart. So remember ATL bands did it first !!( search up Southern vs morris brown 2000 ) most of yall so called "band heads" dont know nothing about them

[@stc.3665]

Zakeeus Murray you do realize Southern been playing this same arrangements since the 80s, right? .... & on top of that their arrangement and Morris Browns is nothing alike. Lol

[@7xsystem369]

Aye, I'mma say this, PV version is better than Talladega shit

[@NicholasLeeNRL]

Soo many haters..smh Man Talladega Smashed southern.. T.C arrangement couldve been cleaner but overall They smashed!

[@7mktt_mo]

Nicholas Lee Don't be biased✋

[@SouthernGirl-dh4fz]

My son’s high school played this better than both😒...

[@deparisshaw4510]

dega won
