[@MarchingsportHD]

Who had the best version of Holy Grail? Southern or Jackson State?

[@enxsty]

Coming back 6 years later to re-listen and I still gotta say Jackson State. Their arrangement was clearly written and executed better. Sending chills down my spine

[@marcuswalker9172]

SU alllllllday

[@mr.igohard6958]

@@enxsty this shit was trash. SU arrangement was close and powerful. JSU just didn’t give a damn arranging this 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tribaldeity1939]

SU you can actually hear the medley

[@punky2714]

They both sound great but I really felt the music move through me when JSU played it.

[@macarthurjohnson6142]

Why everybody saying su won? They messed the song up bad.

[@EarthAngel504]

Year of the mellos. Both bands had phenomenal mello sections..

[@brandonhannah4220]

Jackson clearly takes this. They just blew SU out of Louisiana especially with that ain't worried bout nun that shit was dangerous.

[@caper104]

Omfg! JSU have SLICK WAYS OF getting the crowd/viewers turnt up! #LuvDaBoom

[@johnmills5754]

To thine own self be TRUE... Bama State Mello checking in... Su is pure d nasty,,, but them Jsu horns over across the way,,, sending that fire... I just give credit where it's due... Good job both bands... I luv the SWAC 💉 on to the next page to get a band crankin fix... Lol

[@TMiles84]

Everyone and they mama know that SU has stupid power but everyone and they mama know that SU also has a tendency to over blow and miss notes and when they mess up they go back and try again and in this clip it clearly shows. And the SU faithful refuse to take the L......#Luvtheboom

[@lildubcw34]

So that mess up made the song not better then jsu lol

[@user-pq1uu4io2i]

@@lildubcw34yeah you can’t mess up them still stay ur version was better

[@ajv3000ify]

That moment when you come in early and everybody looks at you lol

[@larryeryder]

I STILL live this battle! I can proudly say that this was the second Boombox that I attended and this battle was a DAMN GOOD ONE! I was closer to SU in the stands (almost right across from them) so I have to DEFINITELY give them props on their POWER and STYLE on this song. HOWEVER, JSU, who was in the far corner of the stadium, had SURROUND SOUND CLARITY with the horns and balance! I give the nod to JSU but SU did not disappoint. When the horn in SU blew that "off note" before the full band you could LITERALLY hear the WHOLE CROWD let out a collective groan. SU outblew them. JSU outplayed them. Winner:JSU

[@superhello57]

I Jus Love How You Can Tell How Much They Love What They Do. Both Band Are Really Good

[@tabromo5]

Jackson got this one

[@jaharac.311]

JSU never disappoints.

[@jasonfutrell9575]

su win in my opinion. but jsu version is so damn funky. like week old socks😂😂

[@jyronejackson4744]

JSU sounded like their arrangement was for a military band

[@dajour601]

so yall didn't hear that person blow early for su lol

[@user-pq1uu4io2i]

They hear it they just don’t like to admit

[@torimiller2928]

I don't know why but I love that HBCU style band. Love the old ratchet battles that these bands have. I wish I could go down south and see a battle myself..

[@legendadams6601]

I feel like Jackson put they’re heart and soul a lil more to it

[@CDBphotos]

The more people say the Jukebox version doesn't sound like the song I realize folks haven't really listened to the song.

[@jermainecopeland232]

OK LETS BE CLEAR!!!! now im from neither school, but being a musician you can clearly see that the camera was closer to su than jsu...both schools have the power, but as far as who smashed the song??? JSmfU!!!! Their version was crisp and clean...su clearly went for the loudness above their clarity, both times!!! There was no need for jsu to follow up on a replay because they smashed it the first time...SU had to come back again to clean it up and absolutely did not succeed...Big ups to JSU, the only band that can hold that corner down, and DID!!! JSU did det!!!!!

[@benjaminsanders1465]

I'm feeling ya on thay

[@marcusssmith2104]

Yes sir

[@1MrTc]

I can dig that bro... Luv tha boom '95'

[@youngprophet6800]

I didn’t think anyone else noticed where the camera man(or woman) was

[@camsimpson42]

JSU's arrangement has too much going on......

[@CDBphotos]

I started laughing when you said it lacked intensity b/c it was clearly intense from start to finish. That intro by JSU is written funny and the holy grail part makes any true musician shake their head.

[@kkpsi04]

Jackson State wins this one....arraignment on point.....

[@drummerboi15208]

I'm sure Jay-Z is very proud of JSU after hearing this 😌

[@TheeMelloMan]

Bruh wtf is SU Playing

[@divinedvon]

two dangerous bands love em both

[@camaramackey8525]

And JSU is better cuz they werent spiting out loud sounds but both did a great job

[@MelloVisualsMedia]

In my opinion, JSU had the better arrangement cause you couldn't even hear the melody when SU played it. All you heard was Whole and half notes...Lmao

[@smvballer6]

dawg u trippen. go ahead and take that butt woopin lol

[@Spdx913]

Thats su

[@marvellelarue6888]

Yeah Jsu got this one the thang about SU holy grail even though they play the whole arrangement its so damn long loud n boring to me. Jsu had a twist to it n it stood out loud too. But jsu is better

[@kennisW]

Jsu was sending it from that corner tho

[@gabrieljohnson7417]

But they were both good but i believe that JSU won by far.

[@nathanielsimmons9276]

I like JSU arrangement more but both versions are beast

[@Dapo.Ganger]

Honestly jsu got this one. Did you hear that sexy intro jsu brought in. C'mon guys u gotta admit. Let go of ur pride

[@charli45101]

I come back to this every so often just for both mellos sections 🥲 tears of joy

[@jlasker25]

Jsu.....arrangement

[@morganursin7804]

This might be the GOAT band video😂

[@dopeboislim21]

hands down JSU took this one

[@kellibreeden6995]

Jsu has a better arrangement..Southern just has more power

[@lamarjackson707]

Yea you don’t believe that

[@HypeKing10]

exactly.. guess the Jukebox really feels threatened by the Boom..

[@tristondinwiddie7238]

the tempo drag is killing both bands but both arrangements are fantastic

[@bhbgbhbg]

Su arrangement sounds like a remake of Empire State!!!!

[@JayB31590]

Su got baritones and mellos over jsu i think that's why they are louder but jsu has trumpets and trombones

[@JSUBOOM]

LMFAO@ SU PLAYING THIS .... THEY COULD NEVER... LUV DA F'N BOOM !!!!!!!

[@BLACKWALLSTREET98]

JSU......FLAWLESS!!!!!

[@TheMontec7]

i usually go with jsu but they both just KILLED that how can you chose

[@MrLovesToCrankUp]

Say whatever you want, but JSU arrangements almost always have more musicality to them, 6 years of music education later and i'd still much rather listen to jsu version than southern's typical "wall of sound" arrangement.

[@TheGetalife223]

I though they were about to play Can you feel it lmfao...I knew I wasn't the only one..

[@dpmagepyro]

and the camera is clearer closer to Su tho... just like it is at the SWAC and we STILL cutting through..

[@HypeKing10]

Luv Da Boom..

[@PAYTONSKILLZ1]

JSU ALL DAY!! HANDS DOWN! #LuvTheBoom

[@TheGetalife223]

Their's also sound more like the sound....SU's version sounds like a messed up combination of Can you feel it and Empire State of Mind

[@JerimieMorgan]

JSU won this one I mean the perfect power the perfect melody. I think their arrangement is perfect too.

[@futtmill]

Y'all really need to get over band bias when it comes to picking a winner. JSU clearly won this hands down and I don't know how many times I have to say it...SU is playing too fast and the arrangement has no character...I listened to the clip of when JSU played holy grail against ASU and it was loud just really sloppy, but on this particular night against SU they cleaned it up and it sounds a lot better and you can't say SU is louder when every brass section is playing the same damn note

[@BiggCart__]

Years later and JSU still has a better arrangement

[@Gattitookyohoe]

I’m saying 😂

[@Fivept48]

JSU all the way

[@jamorleykittrell5172]

Southern straight murdered JSU in this jukebox!!! R.I.P to JSU Holy grail arrangment!!!!!

[@larryeryder]

Jamorley Kittrell not exactly...

[@CRed2409]

Can someone please tell me why JSU finessed this song by adding more notes? Why they wrote the song in another key since they don't have the range to play the song in its original key. And please can someone tell me where you found that last part JSU played in their song if not then please stop saying their arrangement is better than SU

[@DKC7437LC]

WHERE CAN I FIND THE SCORE TO THIS PLEASE TELL ME

[@DatBoiLow4]

Jsu got serious horn holders

[@SAXTail2]

Both were great! Fun to watch. Wish I was there

[@rob428956]

@ Cameron I agree a lot of su arrangements do sound alike.

[@bigtommy7850]

Su holy grail was better Jsu's funky lol I guess that's what made them seem country

[@30colinwoods]

JSU BABY SONIC BOOM TOOK THIS ONE HANDS DWN

[@KristianRuffin]

southern's arrangement sounded to close to empire state of mind.. lol.. I like how they put the "Can You Feel It" drumroll before the crank part, that was like a warning that they're about to demolish the opposing band

[@jmy1572]

JSU ALLDAY!!!

[@brandonhannah4220]

SU WASNT EXPECTING JSU TO COME THIS HARD THAT WHY THEY WERE DOING THE MOST

[@MrAljonadrayton]

it would have been more tight and crunk if everybody was rocking the same way but its all good though lol

[@marcuswhite3825]

How that dude who played early feelin 💀💀

[@CRed2409]

I see everyone hated this arrangement but loves every other SU arrangement #SadAndPathetic

[@loulou3t]

I had to listen to the original a few times but I can hear this song in both arrangements. I think Su chose to keep it along the style of the original and not put too much feeling into it thats not in the original like Jsu did but Jsu has every right to make the song sound how they would like it to sound because its their arrangement. Im going with the Jukebox on this. I will say not just anybody can challenge the Booms version tho. Both kicking ass with power. That's unbiased as it can get.

[@MusicSoulchild2013]

But did any body hear olé dude on Mello fuck up during the break lol Mr. Jackson had top shake his head

[@arrogant08]

and JSU's version is way closer in key and arrangement to the song. go listen to it

[@318geauxleaux]

SU hands down!!

[@perspectivedds9082]

s-poo sounds a mess. JSU has the better version

[@cnj393]

Not that I agree, but that slowed down blues version comment had me laughing.

[@1994belac]

@diane west No. D Minor(Original Key) is just an unusual key to play in for a marching band so he took it down a whole step. Alot of songs bands play are in different keys.

[@iamtr383]

No contest....JSU All Day!!! #LuvTheBoom

[@pimp12342]

Jsu!!!

[@hasanx4637]

J-State's arrangement is def better and is executed better. Southern's band now is undisciplined- from the director on down. Every man trying to out blow the next one, ,sloppy errors, etc..- can't tell what they are playing halt the time because the 'background' parts overpower the melody. Sad.

[@ciadevjar]

Hasan x no you stupid it's the exact opposite

[@torrenceedwards5310]

SOUTHERN hands down or should I say AND DOWN!!! A lot of these comments are reaching, it's a rap song and nobody does it better than The Human Jukebox. SU was intense and full, while JSU was lackluster.

[@Drowninginpesos]

Jsu is the only school that can survive that corner

[@jaydonweeknd111]

To me...JSU won and Ima tell yall why...Southern arrangement is good af but to me there not enough power in it...Their trumpets were on point and were powerful...Now their mellos! Ima mello player and I could tell that Southern mellos were tired and they sound out of tune...Their Baritones were good they just need to tell that one dude to stop hanging over...Trombones were good and Tubas were good...Overrall Good arrangement but needs more power and cleaniness to it...Now JSU arrangement is good af too and the reason why I pick JSU is because their sound more fuller, powerful and a lil clean, and also evil a lil lol...Trumpets were on point just a lil clean up and theyre straight...Mellos were good AF!!! Their was just one time when they sounded flat and tired and that was when they his the E flat or maybe it was the D (no homo) lol, Baritones were good af very powerful, Trombones were good af on that solo at the beginning, and Tubas were kinda the main problem they werent that powerful and it didnt bring much bass into the arrangement...JSU tubas as far as their size they are big but theyre not loud as Southerns tubas...Overrall JSU played a great arrangement, it was powerful and a lil clean...And to me...JSU won the battle

[@TheBigPuma23]

I kinda can see why that mello messed up .

[@jsmooth7897]

SU went HAM when they turned to JSU

[@OOTD_]

Some of yall got to be high schoolers if you think that loud sloppy mess was better than JSU arrangement. Listen to how clean and crisp JSU notes are and how every section is balanced..

[@DDDWHATITDO]

"kickin it with Lamar Odom"......that shit is funny.....

[@kinghuggins6712]

Best year for both bands

[@aj71169]

I felt the same way in 2010 about SU playing Power. If you have to play the song twice, you must not have felt like you made your point the first time.

[@JTurnerStudios]

Jsu need I say more. No comparison here!

[@Datcreolesistar]

JSU intro was on point but the French horns over powering everybody SU killed it

[@oiuy75]

Southern hands down!!!

[@mrsilvert50538]

BAHHA!! did yall hear that MELO come in early at 345.. it happens. haha

[@Kingsec10]

@ Andrew Cromartie wtf you mean they played it over and over???? they only played the song once they just repeated the break because it got so much hype and people had been asking for it since the band room.

[@Spdx913]

If didn't hear the tubas i would not know what su is playing

[@arrogant08]

AND THE ENDING SOUNDED WORSE THE 3RD TIME LOL

[@chetpichon9846]

SU got this one

[@darrencalhoun8867]

Marched at SU and the mistake means we lost at this song but people forget the rest of the quarter was SU no doubt!

[@TheGetalife223]

And Can you feel it.

[@frederickcrookjr]

If you know anything about j state , they not to long moved there band . But you can do that when only pack your stadium once every two year when you play SU

[@bowezz]

Everyone has an opinion but that doesn't mean it means a thing. what does HBCU mean to us as a race? It means power to me. Both bands represent power. I love SU and I like JSU. I'm pretty sure most of us on this post are black... yet and still we on a band post downgrading each other where is it getting you today? Lol, what happens when their is no more HBCU because the negativity? Uplift the power we have as a race. HBCU!!!!

[@bluestarkad17]

why jsu tubas all on one side???
