Southern vs Talladega - Midnight Madness BOTB (2015)

[@parlay__205]

Im from Alabama Dega tried but SU got this one hands down!!!!

[@subigboy3]

louder isn't always better. Plus you can rite music just as it is or spice it up with your swag to it. That's what make The Human Jukebox stand out from the rest. The arrangements they play are threw the roof and unmatched!!!

[@newdirection6182]

As a trombone player I'm glad to see Southern with more woodwinds. They add a color to your sound that you just will not get from brass only.

[@cnj393]

This the footage I've been looking for. From a distance relatively midpoint. This is when you can really hear if there's a real difference in sound between bands. Good positioning and a solid camera/mic. Just gained another subscriber.

[@JCuzProductions]

thanks man we appreciate it.

[@zaokoyechatma]

TC is louder no lie. SU's are way better. I'd take the arrangements over the volume anyday

[@Mr2013What]

louder isn't always better ppl. Su is clearly cleaner than dega, and we all know Dega's field shows will never amount to southerns

[@JohnIvoryMusic]

But here......it was better

[@Mr2013What]

If you say so. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@dguinyarddg]

TC out classed again! Loud isn't enough. They are called quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes for a reason.

[@beewill16]

I Would Like To See TC Battle JSU..

[@streetsweepa46]

it's simple... on the left we have "Cleaner" and on your right side we have "Louder " both bands have their pros and cons. everything will always be opinionated. it depends on what the listener likes. ppl with musical backgrounds will always push the technical issues. where on the other hand u have the fans who only know volume. Question is who decides the winner? the fans or the experts? that leaves me scratching my head lol.

[@fountainmedia4683]

That was well said!

[@marshallwinston9938]

Just because you have a musical background doesn't mean you have to always push technical issues and not care about volume. And why are you acting like SU is playing soft. They are playing with power and loudness just like Talladega.

[@fountainmedia4683]

marshall Winston​ that's true man. Southern play more technical songs that are powerful, loud, and clean. Talladega play non-technical songs that are powerful, loud, and not clean. SU was louder during this botb, and they sound AMAZING! SU WON this battle hands down! They definitely shut down TC. Also, Talladega made themselves look bad, by insisting SU used a mic when they didn't. SU known, and famous for their powerful sound, and their ability to maintain balance. So I agree with you here 100% buddy. 

[@devinadams9194]

"WHAT ARE THEY PLAYING?" im done... that was too funny..

[@CoolGuyDRE]

Volume wise talladega has the edge, southern on the other hand had volume and sounded decent on most songs....I give the victory to southern.... But This wasn't just an SU knockout though, Talladega has come a long way.....to even be in the same stadium with southern!!

[@JohnIvoryMusic]

in only 2 years at that

[@organizednoise9614]

I give SU the edge because of the arrangements but SU has some bias ass fans. Trumpet from TC fucks up, everybody hears it but when SU clearly fucks up people all of sudden are deaf and didn't respond to shit.....smh Good job to both bands though. TC did their thing just need better arrangements when facing SU.

[@michaeltyson7441]

best footage

[@JCuzProductions]

Thanks fam

[@dodiewilson24]

28:30 SU - Do the Ratchet 💀💀 They Killed It!! 😮👌🏿

[@curtiswilliams8483]

Soooo yall gone act like Southern messed up two of their songs smh SU still them boyz but cmon dega came with it

[@bigdozie93]

Best footage of the battle I've seen so far

[@dorothyraggs7040]

Su had the mics on the whole battle I was there

[@flyinhawaiian6760]

What’s the song by tc called at 19:58 that intro was cold as hell

[@Neworleansickk]

The Grooveline 💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥

[@mefool8575]

@@Neworleansickk this is not grooveline

[@Neworleansickk]

ME FOOL SORRY BRUH THE NAME OF THE SONG WE PLAYED AT THAT MARK WAS Burn the Disco Out , Michael Jackson, that better for ya ? Big dog ? Simple mistake,, but aye 😂 u couldn’t tell him the name either

[@JCuzProductions]

share this footage thanks for the support

[@subigboy3]

this battle happened a few weeks ago. and yes Dega sounds really nice for what it is. let's not forget where they band director is from! lol he is a JUKE!

[@subigboy3]

+bail song yes this is very true

[@CDdaBoss]

+bail song Nathan Haymer and Miguel Bonds are crab brothers lol. Haymer said it at the beginning of the event

[@eugeneharvey757]

GR8 Battle Dega ain't no punk

[@504cool]

This is some classic footage man !

[@Darion0415]

Good Battle and footage SU took that and they didn't even play the difficult book. I liked one blood by TC tho.

[@Saint70114]

To much talking going on from Talladega which made them fall into a deeper hole. #1 SU #2 JState #3 Tied Talladega., Alcorn., GSU stuff like that lol

[@cj9160]

right lol

[@CDdaBoss]

Lol I'm sorry GSU doesn't need to be mentioned in the same sentence as any of these bands.

[@taemoss251]

u put gsu be4 miles y'all trippen when they going 2 get sum respect

[@youngchevyboy605-5]

Saint70114 put jstate #1 su #2 Nd gsu ahead of Talladega and we can call this accurate

[@quadplyr13]

All of Su's horns brass tubas woodwinds... mix em up with bcu's , ncat, Norfolk's drumline..... That's a superband

[@raylonandflattownzydeco54]

For all you that said su is barely better than talladega. Someone explained what happens when they both got in the stands 😂😂

[@lokowright5497]

su killed sleeping in my bed

[@terrancesneed3757]

TC has came a long way. But SU was better by a mile. TC was louder but that's the only thing they had on SU. TC had potential but need to focus on cleaning up the sound quality. TC is better but has a long way to go before you're up there with SU.

[@subigboy3]

to hear a juke talk shit about the jukebox saddens me. The present Jukebox is way better then the old. it's ok to want ur class to be the best but damn, give credit where credit is due! Juke for life!

[@jordanellison3899]

SU won but they're not invincible. Just clearly better than Talladega

[@terrylee5555]

I strongly agree. SU has so many band fans to where the average person watching SU battles are manipulated into thinking SU is invincible. SU stands out in the SWAC because they're the only band that plays the music as it was written by the composer. Every other band in the SWAC just goes for volume. I'm in no way, shape, form, or fashion saying that SU's not good but, place SU in the MEAC and they will only blend in.

[@youngchevyboy605-5]

Terry Lee not true

[@terrylee5555]

Malcolm Tippit_Very true. SU has a very good band but, those who are less educated in musicianship sometimes tend to go overboard when crediting SU's performance.

[@brandonevans2807]

tbh the Meac is ass and I'm in the Meac. So SU will definately stick out

[@marionmarion6852]

Terry Lee su would definitely stick out

[@rbrown2123]

What’s the name of the sound SU did at the 37:20 mark ?

[@junerobinson3670]

great footage

[@robertweekly9052]

I am a fan of both bands, but this was similar to a Varsity 1st string playing the 2nd and 3rd string. SU took TC to school, ate their lunch and sent them home crying.

[@ItsVeronica_heaux]

27:12 Dega tried it 😂 they was so hype

[@lokowright5497]

I'm sorry but Talladega sorry to me just loud with a dumb sound I give credit where its due but they alright only band su have respect for is jsu and that's real

[@zelbritt4759]

Talladega baritones funky!

[@taemoss251]

Talladega first song set the tone but it went southern way after Talladega played get on my level

[@marionmarion6852]

Tae Moss it went southern after su first song

[@PastorReggie1981]

dega def louder.. but if you loud and have great arrangements you win.. SU won but purely on arrangements.. dega is louder and it's not close

[@anshantactichall4737]

Dega gone be fire soon im a Marching 100 Member Fall 98 i like the Juke Box Dega was louder to me SU arrangements are ok its simple too they still break phrases but anyway Dega Btones!!!!!Dammmmmmn

[@KmacFIRE]

Not close SU Got this one!

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

wit no tubas? kmsl u funny

[@hazzaustin5571]

+WHS_TUBA_BOY ayye bro I respect what you say but you have no idea what it takes to March for any hbcu marching let alone SU.. with that type of mouth you wouldn't make it..actually SU tubas are powerful my brother ..earn your swac hours then talk later

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

+haz Austin I will never March in such a disrespectful nd terribly balanced band. all music su played require some type of bass but su don't have bass just treble and that's pathetic for a hbcu. ... you don't have to March with a swac or a meac band to realize that su tubas CANT play low notes , nd I never ever heard a peddle come across the field. that proves that su is all about volume not music .... sad to say but su tubas get ate up by every hbcu tuba section out there simply because that can't play low notes smh u need to go to a better collage mabey one u can learn something dealing with real music nd not disrespect nd lack of musicianship ...sir, I wish u the best with your biased opinions

[@hazzaustin5571]

WHS_TUBA_BOY u clearly don't know what your talking a Bout..lol its sad because you actually made this comment about SU tubas.. And u thought dega was better? And sir nothing bias at all just speaking to you as a person who majored in music . and if SU sounds so bad like u said then why bcu (from the band director to the band students give them their props and tell haymer how great they sound. In fact they were even their to support them. Like I said you have to get your swac hours before your comment is even valid ok my brother .. No shade at all but you got alot of learning to for the simple fact that all your comments are based of SU tubas , that's where u messed up at

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

+haz Austin you can say I don't know what I'm tlkin bout bout but u can't prove me wrong tho. if you major in music U know exactly what I'm talking about ... no matter what you say its not going to change the fact that su is gaining fans but loseing its reputation at the same time but ig your opinion depends on ya taste for bands , I like loud bands but being loud is futile if you are unbalanced like these two bands

[@andrewilliams8391]

They staff from SU

[@boot6938]

I feel the only reason SU won is because they were cleaner and most importantly their band arrangement are fucking GREAT!

[@woolly65]

When they get the new Mellophones and Euphoniums, they will probably need more trumpets to balance it out.

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

need new tubas

[@plucka4k]

What song did su play at 13 min

[@marionmarion6852]

in my bed -dru hill

[@anshantactichall4737]

talledega took that camera angle told me that down goes Frazier lmmfao

[@subigboy3]

must be a J-Hate fan!

[@ericblack4662]

SU won this battle to me DEGA was just loud an a bit unbalanced. SU had a all around better sound . DEGA btone is what made them sound a bit louder then SU an I think its because of the kind they have but that's just not enough.

[@bryantlang62]

Yeah they btones huge compared to su lol

[@donlewis2612]

they was mic the whole nite, i was sittin in front on southern and the mics was to high. they damn near bust the speakers, but they was killing tho

[@marionmarion6852]

Don Lewis the lil ass mic for the announcers and trash talk

[@xaviersb2480]

TCs dancers look like they’re dancing for cash. 👯 = 💵 Then, the band director talks too much. He’s so immature. His band IS loud but that’s all they have going for themselves. They’re a disaster. Every band they face exposes just how unpolished they are. BCU, FAMU, SU, etc... they have a ton of growing to do. He says “we’re not Grambling” and he’s right. At least Grambling behaves in a poised and respectful manner. The sad part is: the members must follow an idiot leader.

[@dewittjenkins7207]

I was right their in front of both band Su just bust that ass in every since I was rooting for Talladega but southern just had too much musicianship wise and marching wise southern is just a all-around better band than Talladega really sounds like a high school band when you hear me in person you will understand me

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

yeaa u right but su have elementary / Jr.high arrangements ... comon noww...don't act like u don't here all those missing parts filled by whole notes nd half notes nd su tubas are just sloppy ... like what happens to them when they play low notes?? they fade away for some reason , like nun of they tubas know how to play... I'm in da 11 grade nd I can play peddles that they section leader cant even touch ... ijs

[@mikedaflexta]

+WHS_TUBA_BOY he said southern songs are elementary....... .Lmao, quit the madness

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

+mikedaflexta am I lying or are u just being biased viewer

[@mikedaflexta]

+WHS_TUBA_BOY no bias. So what you think about tc?

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

+mikedaflexta the same I think about su except tc has a better tuba section nd baritone section trumpets overlapping notes so u can hear them because they are unbalanced and being over shadowed by all other sections... nd I'm tlkin bout both bands

[@anshantactichall4737]

And i wonder when SU tubas will ever have any bottom notes if thats the case pit em on Btone lol

[@kristianruffin3782]

ima SU fan, but ima keep it real.. Talladega was louder than southern, but Southern arrangements is what them the superior band at this event. if talladega had southern arrangements, Southern would've lost

[@tpuno7780]

[@marionmarion6852]

MICHAEL SMITH lmfaooo i just this 😂😂

[@Neworleansickk]

[@thatguymike131]

Did I hear PV's SWAMP tuba part in the beginning??? Often imitated but never duplicated my 🍑 lol

[@bryandavenport2948]

did TC drum majors really stop doing their jobs to stroll in the middle of a song?? where is the discipline

[@organizednoise9614]

+Bryan Davenport Really dude.....apparently you don't watch a lot of HBCU bands

[@jariusparker8585]

Su smashed Tc and that's final Tc just make noise you cant understand what song Tc playing......sorry Tc get better !

[@whs_tuba_boy9682]

+Marion Simmons su got elementary/Jr.high arrangements thats y they have missing parts filled with whole nd half note by tbones trumpets nd f-horns

[@marionmarion6852]

WHS_TUBA_BOY no sir if a real musician will know that their are no missing parts and whole notes are part of music so what u talking about and elementary/jr. High no sir u should be telling that to tc

[@RaMb0100]

po tc, they are so average and they really believe they're on Southern's level. just BIG and wrong !!!!WRONG,WRONG,WRONG.

[@yourlocaluzifan3576]

They're not that big tho

[@xavienm.8856]

[@beewill16]

+Tabitha Foss Everyone's Entitled To Their Own Opinion but SU and JSU Go Neck &&Neck Every Year. SU Didn't Come Close To Running JSU Over In 2014 nor 2015. They Are The Baddest In The SWAC and Will Give Any Band A Run For Their Money.
