JSU’s arrangement is definitely the best !

Definitely feel like JSU or SU could be your top arrangement depending on what you’re looking for in a arrangement. SU gave you more of a musical approach versus JSU gave you more power.

[@USVeteran01]

Jackson state played the hell out of this song. Wow. The boom needs to bring it back 2023.

[@TheBeastin14]

JSU hands down. goose bumps in the beginning and the end. Power and control on their part is impressive and the overall arrangement gives everyone a chance to shine. SU also has a great arrangement as well but JSU takes my vote.

[@prc111]

The fact that SU suddenly knows how to play in tune makes me happy. They traded power for sound, blend, and overall style. Now when they add power to those, they'll be unstoppable.

[@jacktwnboss601]

Southern didn’t play it at JSU because boom owned this arrangement! Faced JSU 3 times and didn’t play it once should tell you something! WT must’ve denied your entrance or something because you stay giving jsu short end of stick even when they smash other bands you find a way to discredit them and uplift the band they waxed 😂

Southern won this in terms of musicality, giving them the win. Jackson has the arrangement of power. Musicality has slight edge over power. Like GAMB did against us NOASB. Nobody can’t outmatch these two top tier bands in the land. 😅 SU for Musicality JSU for Power

[@bebevee4253]

JSU version has complexity and movement in the song too so I'm not understanding how people are hearing musicality in SU version but not in JSU version. Trumpets and woodwinds are doing a lot of work in JSU version. I'm not knocking SU version at all. They project power. I'm trying to hear what others say they're hearing.

Southern is very loud. Jackson State plays under control and are very precise. Tennessee State is another eloquent band. FAMU plays loud at times and sometimes they sound as if you are listening to a concerto. Lastly, Google Texas Southern at FAMU. The event took place, within 5 years. The Ocean had traveled to Tallahassee. During the Friday night, the battle of the bands; to me, TSU won. Why? The drumline is a part of the challenge. The FAMU drumline quit and walked away.
