Battle was intense and over in the first round! Su is the definition of controlled chaos. The W goes to Su! And they were smaller than TC over powering their sound.
I totally agree with you. It's easy to say a band got murked depending on the pop tunes played, but no one seems to know about the control and armature. Yes I am a old head from SU and give credit where credit is due. Talladega started out on fire, but Southern memorizes at least 70 tunes before marching season and being seasoned they know not to pull out all the hits in the beginning. Take a lose I would say not. After football season this what was left and they maintained exceptionally well. So to the critics regardless of there opinions they are ranked the no.2 band in the nation......Now that speaks volumes for a swac band.
Good battle especially with it being the offseason for both programs. Great entertainment. TC did a really good job holding their own; however, I would have to give the nod to SU. They simply sound more defined and the arrangements are simply better. Also, because SU has a more disciplined sound I would give the nod. TC sounds like the SU of old but with a few corrections and better arrangements and discipline their potential is very bright. Great job both programs!!
Man in person Talladega sounded like a big loud high school. I was there to witness it first hand for these people on here talking about you had to be there. Southern dug in that you know what
OK I watched every single round of this battle and everyone seems to support their own school with no real admission of the shortcomings of this battle. First of all, TC DID NOT murk SU, SU DID NOT blow TC out. SU did win this battle though, TC need to work on their stamina. I do think SU slept on TC in the beginning of this battle and payed acdearcprice for it. Another thing, you can't judge a battle based on half a band being there. Had SU come in mass most of the people in the middle of the bands would be deaf!! Nevertheless, good job TC. For you guys to be a young band you DEFINITELY gave SU something to think about. Hopefully this won't be your last meeting!
Its crazy how they want to be Southern and their band director came from Southern , but really cant nobody step to southern it was a nice battle but Talladega needs to compete w/ the schools they been with last season I give them credit for trying.
Very interesting match up If this was a heavy weight title fight it would have went down to a decision with the W going to southern Only because they were favored and there arrangements exposed TC's but your lying to yourself if you can say SU was more powerful in this meeting ( definitely not the same group from the season) TC was very intense All around you could hear it, but Im hoping a fall meeting will happen somehow because both groups were not well polished at all but TC has been moving up every year you cant take that away from them they aren't wasting any time.
southern gave tc the stepson treatment, they played crowd favorites but thats only gonna get you so far in a battle. at some point you have to sound like a college. if tc is around in 10 years they'll be a force but right now they're still wet behind the ears you can clearly hear the difference.
All of you non-musicians who are judging from a RUclips screen, please keep your comments to yourself this was a good battle both bands wasn't at there best in several aspects of this battle southern has better arrangements true but for a program in it's second year Damn good job. ....as they say you have to get your war wounds sometimes
I never hard a high school sound like TC I'm from New Orleans were we have a lot of good high school bands probably the best in the world but never hard one this loud and sound good as TC so as for that high school shit mis me with it give TC thay respect thay earning it for real.
You must not be from New Orleans I'm not from there but I have visited and band such as Edn Mar and O.P walker now Laundery O.P Walker sound nearly as loud as TC considering they are kids in His and TC has fully grown people with years of college experience. Most of Tc band have transfers from other schools mostly Swac, O.P walker is 1/6 of their size and they could give them and any other band a run for their money, and they say Tc soumds like a high school because of the sloppyness playing with no control,stop bandwagoning bruh gets you no where in life.
Why is this even a comparison? Half of SU's band vs a full TC band? SU's arrangements and musicianship are on another level. Add the other half of SU's band back and this is NO CONTEST!
idk about that one song not winning a battle thing cuz... "nonreturnables" are real. with that said TC mellos were crushing that first song. nice battle. id probably go with the juke on this one, simply cause i think half the reason everybody riding TC so hard is that they slept on em so to hear them crankin ish we havent heard all year...its real.
Why everybody in the comments hating on SU. Everybody have their opinions but to say SU got murked or completely lost is crazy. I felt as though it was a back and forth battle, SU sounded like they were getting tired and I personally dont like TC arrangements but both bands sound good
I love it how these TC fan can come on hear and compare TC to SU For real. What time of the year is this. That is not the full SU band from the football season. And SU still hung with them. It that was the full band they would have ran TC on the BUS back Home. But very good battle.
SU did bring only half a band...That made a different with them being louder than TC, at times. They still have the power. I still say someone in following SU sound a little too closely.
Volume......tie I don't care if southern brought their whole band our not. What the had TC match it. But number don't matter it's the strength behind the numbers. TC is STRONG for their size and this is coming from a former Juke. TC to me just need to tighten up those arrangements some and they need some more control and they are there. The volume and the crunkness is there. I just hope they can maintain size or grow and get a football team lol. And if they do all hell is going to break loose.
I'm a huge su fan but I ain't gone lie talladega came through and won su trumpets wit these cracking notes and talladega b-tones and mellos was killing su and su on wanna be a baller was bad when they played holy grail they got off tempo in the beginning but talladega had a good articulation and a good strong sounds and not just a bunch of screaming notes like su
It's clear what band has been running Louisiana but I think this battle a lot closer then what the comments display. SU has the cleaner sound but all the talk about high school arrangements are silly. They playing radio rap/funk songs that are impossible to complicate. SU just playing them better and cleaner. I never heard of this Talladega band and have no bias being from Fla but after listening to the whole battle it's SU slightly. SU in my top 3 fav hbcu bands btw.
im not gonna lie Talladega put they foot down with Southern..... Southern aint had to shit on dem like dat wit Holy Grail!!!! I give Talladega they props..
I also wonder if the TC people who are yelling at SU know that this is half of the band lmao, maybe they should schedule a regular season game at TC so they can get the full treatment
Do people hate SU that much where have to lie about the outcome of a battle? Clearly TC lost, gotta get better arrangements and work on your articulation.
I look at the situation like this nobody on TC or SU side got smashed it was an Evan battle to begin with but either way it goes SU still will remain the best no matter what for a very long time.......PERIOD
The one thing that Southern does different than TC that you all need to realize, Go threw a very Hectic Audition for their band! You Must know all 12 scales in 2 octaves 3 if necessary, have a Audition Piece and Play a Sight reading piece from the Band Directors Choosing, which is a Piece on a Colliegate Level of reading! Please state TC's audition requirements!? Then theirs a Crab week just to see who can survive and thats where most freshman get zipped! TC auditions in the Fall after SU gets rid of the ones that cant hang & they audition in the spring! Everyone who gets zipped out of SU band goes their trust me this is a fact! (Friends who are in TC that where in SUs band)! So for you all to say SU needs to step their Recruiting game up and get their numbers big like TC! SMH at you! You probly cant make this process that these young musicians in SU's band go threw! So until TC steps their game up and meet the status of SU please do not compare them at all!!
What I hate about Southern University Band. They don't know how to take a loss gracefully. They get yaked on but instead of congratulating the other band, they make 1000 excuses about how their whole band wasn't there and it's concert season and blah blah blah. Y'all lost the battle plain and simple. Good job Taladega. People definitely know who y'all are now.
For people to say Talladega had a better sound you really don't know music yea they was allowed her but they wasn't clean but maybe that's just my opinion s use on a better they have more control with a music but yet Talladega got the W but is all good Talladega just have to step up date Joyce of music and had a ride because they do play music like a big ass high school but sound like a college get it together really listen to the battle before you see who won everybody gone for 10 days because they was allowed to listen to the sound control that s*** was trashed
Some of you haters are down and pitiful. You have a band imitated by many bands including Talladega and you say they sound wacked. So what are you saying about yourselves.
I would respect your comment but the way your RUclips setup you've been a TC fan for a while also you claim on every video TC won that automaticly puts you in the bias bandwagon seat, TC holy grail clearly wasn't as powerful as Su Etc loud but the power wasn't there. Etc was also very very sloppy that Hit the rode Jack should have hit the rode. I gave Tc props but don't get big headed and blinded there are issues with Tc that needs to be cleaned up technical arrangements have to be technically clean.
I was there.. SU sound much fuller and better.. SU clear winner...if we talking about LOUD..a segment of SU band and TC a YEAR round MARCHING band only HUNG with SU in power who only practiced marching band a WEEK after breaking up concert band for this parade...Do the math. Besides a copy is never better than the original.
What do they mean by SWAC reject? These students probably dedicated more time to band than any other band student. Now they're continuing their studies @ a premier academic college. That's an issue with all SWAC schools, 35 years old and still marching in SWAC bands. Don't Play!!
Anything SU is already biased haha jp. But to be honest both bands could have sounded a lot better. Su wins as far as arrangements go, but you have to admit Talladega had some intensity. They're just trying to find their identity as a program. Good battle though
WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THEM SOUNDING BAD!?!??? Of course the sound good no one from our band said they sound bad both of us sounded good but we had more volume than them. "A few inches" ? Keep it G bruh u see how close it is to them than us and we still sound loud and all our notes got across to them we ain't even hear none of the chants they was saying wee made history give us our props we ain't work hard to hate if they would have bust our ass we would have took our lost they didn't though pay homage.
Ive been removed from the HBCU band scene for a while now and havent heard of the TC band but they took this one. I came to this vid heavily biased on SU as theyre my fav SWAC butif only TC had better written arr. it would be obvious.
Mr.Bojangles...you have to realize folks hate for SU is strong at times. Esp, when another loud band comes along. Heck, someone said "SU can't articulate". I mean...how dumb is that?
Is it me or does that 5 on it sounds slow as hell but anyway I think su took the W but I think only cuz of having better song selections cuz su didn't sound all that good either

Man! Was I the only one tryna direct Southern's band on that Crank part of Holy Grail? lol. I felt like I was there!
Lol no bruh I do it every time I hear it
Damn SU, my headphone jus blow out.....
Su holy grail was WACK
You smoking TC cush
Nah man that intro was bad !
Yea it was off tempo, but to say Su holy Grail wack is crazy they've played it better during the season
well yeah true.. i just skipped as soon as i herd the intro..
TC btones sound like grown, bearded men!
5 on it > idgaf
5 on it
Southern was marching without their full band, but still represented. SU's sound is more balanced and controlled.
Yeah... TC definitely raised MY eyebrows during this battle. I'm impressed. First time seeing/hearing them.
Both bands bringing heat .
Battle was intense and over in the first round! Su is the definition of controlled chaos. The W goes to Su! And they were smaller than TC over powering their sound.
That Holy Grail Just Showed U Who The Best ! 0_0
Its battle Time!
The Band with the highest number of skill ed and technical musicians always have the better sound.
They finally went against each other!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!
It amazes me when people with untrained people attempt to critique Bands. They come up with comical reasoning.
I totally agree with you. It's easy to say a band got murked depending on the pop tunes played, but no one seems to know about the control and armature. Yes I am a old head from SU and give credit where credit is due. Talladega started out on fire, but Southern memorizes at least 70 tunes before marching season and being seasoned they know not to pull out all the hits in the beginning. Take a lose I would say not. After football season this what was left and they maintained exceptionally well. So to the critics regardless of there opinions they are ranked the no.2 band in the nation......Now that speaks volumes for a swac band.
A man brother. Good to hear from a true fellow Musician.
SU got MURKED! Talladega won this battle hands DOWN, live with it Jukes. Everybody lose sometimes....LOL
So tell me SU's Holy Grail breakdown doesn't sound like the gates of heaven opening !!! That sealed the deal point blank period
Folk I said the same exact thing when I first heard it lol...shat was jaw-dropping lol
Battle of the year !
I think EVERYBODY KNOOOWWWWSSSS!!!! When Southern plays Holy Grail.... It's over....
I love southern to death but come on SU!!! That's your second time fucking up holy Grail
HOLY GRAIL
Good battle especially with it being the offseason for both programs. Great entertainment. TC did a really good job holding their own; however, I would have to give the nod to SU.

I bet this will become a new event for Bacchus.
Its crazy how they want to be Southern and their band director came from Southern , but really cant nobody step to southern it was a nice battle but Talladega needs to compete w/ the schools they been with last season I give them credit for trying.

"Part 4" is by far the coldest clip
I like both bands and give credit to each. But I feel as if TC won the battle after I felt like SU was sounding a little tired
southern gave tc the stepson treatment, they played crowd favorites but thats only gonna get you so far in a battle. at some point you have to sound like a college. if tc is around in 10 years they'll be a force but right now they're still wet behind the ears you can clearly hear the difference.
"Its like your my mirror !!!"
This was a overall good battle . I like both bands . Talladega would probably get so much more publicity if they had a football team

Kennis Washington boy valley can get cranked on by a high school not TC
We are the layman in this. Are they playing for trained musicians, or are they playing for the crowd? I say Talledega has it.
SU cant articulate they save they life, TC got SU because SU was prepared for TCs approach. TC came hungry and got the W.
Why is this even a comparison? Half of SU's band vs a full TC band? SU's arrangements and musicianship are on another level. Add the other half of SU's band back and this is NO CONTEST!
Poor poor SU....oh well, maybe next year.
idk about that one song not winning a battle thing cuz... "nonreturnables" are real. with that said TC mellos were crushing that first song. nice battle. id probably go with the juke on this one, simply cause i think half the reason everybody riding TC so hard is that they slept on em so to hear them crankin ish we havent heard all year...its real.
SU definitely won now just think if su had all of their people there 0_o
Why everybody in the comments hating on SU. Everybody have their opinions but to say SU got murked or completely lost is crazy. I felt as though it was a back and forth battle, SU sounded like they were getting tired and I personally dont like TC arrangements but both bands sound good
Sonic Boom Alum.. Talladega wins the 4th round.. SU still having tempo problems with Holy Grail!! tied at 2-2
Its not how loud you play but how clean and clear, S.U. rules.
I love it how these TC fan can come on hear and compare TC to SU For real. What time of the year is this. That is not the full SU band from the football season. And SU still hung with them. It that was the full band they would have ran TC on the BUS back Home. But very good battle.
I got five on it was straight jsu shit..
SU did bring only half a band...That made a different with them being louder than TC, at times. They still have the power. I still say someone in following SU sound a little too closely.

Oh wow. SU sounded like shit on Holy Grail. They btones ran out of gas lmao.!
I'm a huge su fan but I ain't gone lie talladega came through and won su trumpets wit these cracking notes and talladega b-tones and mellos was killing su and su on wanna be a baller was bad when they played holy grail they got off tempo in the beginning but talladega had a good articulation and a good strong sounds and not just a bunch of screaming notes like su

TC BTONES WENT HAM IN MY OPINION
im not gonna lie Talladega put they foot down with Southern..... Southern aint had to shit on dem like dat wit Holy Grail!!!! I give Talladega they props..
Welcome 2 the best (Swac) bands in the land. Go Su
I also wonder if the TC people who are yelling at SU know that this is half of the band lmao, maybe they should schedule a regular season game at TC so they can get the full treatment
say your own song good job-SU!!
i was hoping Dr Jackson would do a dance at the end of Baller lol
Really they might as well switched places with JSU on i got 5 on it smh...
so nobody tongues anymore? oh ok...lol
NOPE BRUH!!! I DETERMINED THAT 2011 SU VS TXSU!!!! LOL....
Using the tongue to separate is a skill long gone. Lol
@@BlackFlame0325 they tongue it’s just not sticcoto like the old heads want it to be they phrase
If you weren't out there you don't know TC SMASHED
Do people hate SU that much where have to lie about the outcome of a battle? Clearly TC lost, gotta get better arrangements and work on your articulation.
Yep lol I heard TC in person and trust me I heard N.O. high school bands during the glory days and that's exactly how they sound.
CDBphotos Rigth 35 and st aug would have tore their arse up
I look at the situation like this nobody on TC or SU side got smashed it was an Evan battle to begin with but either way it goes SU still will remain the best no matter what for a very long time.......PERIOD
tc short numbers too! imo
Man y'all took a lost!!!! Good job Talladega!!!
The one thing that Southern does different than TC that you all need to realize, Go threw a very Hectic Audition for their band!

I like SU band but i have to say TC did win this battle.
Talladega will never be on the level where SU is! And that's being real!
That does kinda sound like jsu arrangement of I got 5 on it
What I hate about Southern University Band. They don't know how to take a loss gracefully. They get yaked on but instead of congratulating the other band, they make 1000 excuses about how their whole band wasn't there and it's concert season and blah blah blah. Y'all lost the battle plain and simple. Good job Taladega. People definitely know who y'all are now.
Talladega!!
SU win
Btw , Talladega was cleaner than SU. But SU still sounded good. Both bands sounded good
JSU VS TALLADEGA!!!
For people to say Talladega had a better sound you really don't know music yea they was allowed her but they wasn't clean but maybe that's just my opinion s use on a better they have more control with a music but yet Talladega got the W but is all good Talladega just have to step up date Joyce of music and had a ride because they do play music like a big ass high school but sound like a college get it together really listen to the battle before you see who won everybody gone for 10 days because they was allowed to listen to the sound control that s*** was trashed
What are they feeding TC bones thats all you hear on I Got Five On It!! Sheesh
Some of you haters are down and pitiful. You have a band imitated by many bands including Talladega and you say they sound wacked. So what are you saying about yourselves.
talladega jus took this hands dwn and thts comin from a future SU or SCSU student
WHO CAUGHT THAT TEMPO SLIP UP FROM SU AT 8:26-8:30!!!!
IJS THAT'S A LOSS ALL BY ITSELF!!!!
this is a dumb reply all by itself
For those who weren't there, there's no need to comment. I was directly in the middle and although SU sounded good, as usual, them boys lost
I would respect your comment but the way your RUclips setup you've been a TC fan for a while also you claim on every video TC won that automaticly puts you in the bias bandwagon seat, TC holy grail clearly wasn't as powerful as Su Etc loud but the power wasn't there.

su honestly took a slight L , and southern is my fav band bruh only thing that gave tc the edge for me was better balance and clarity
Anything SU is already biased haha jp. But to be honest both bands could have sounded a lot better. Su wins as far as arrangements go, but you have to admit Talladega had some intensity. They're just trying to find their identity as a program. Good battle though
TU GOOD BUT IM SORRY SU=POWER & ITS VERY CLEAN & PRECISE EVEN WITH VERY HIGH NOTES
Dega Mellows at 4:59 damn bruhh!!!!
Talladega running that shit..damn....Oso
Wanna be a baller =🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know dude that's holding that SU Band shirt arm's must be tired as hell cause his Ass held it up the whole damn time during the battle!!!
tornado watch is THEEE Shit!!! (last song tc played b4 that trash ass holy grail i fell asleep on)
What was the second song TC played
SU did NOT win that. Sorry but u may as well accept it.
THE CAMERA IS DEFINENTLY CLOSER TO SOUTHERN THAN TALLADEGA EVERYBODY WHO WITNESSED FIRST HAND KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.
what does the camera being a few INCHES closer have to do with sounding good?
WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THEM SOUNDING BAD!?!??? Of course the sound good no one from our band said they sound bad both of us sounded good but we had more volume than them. "A few inches" ? Keep it G bruh u see how close it is to them than us and we still sound loud and all our notes got across to them we ain't even hear none of the chants they was saying wee made history give us our props we ain't work hard to hate if they would have bust our ass we would have took our lost they didn't though pay homage.
OMG SOUTHERN DID THAT... THAT OTHER BAND IS A COPY CAT.. DO IT FOR THE VINE OTHER BAND...
Ive been removed from the HBCU band scene for a while now and havent heard of the TC band but they took this one. I came to this vid heavily biased on SU as theyre my fav SWAC butif only TC had better written arr. it would be obvious.
So where's the rest?
LOL THEY ARE PLAYIN OUR I GOT FIVE ON IT
What's the song at 6:46 ?
Mr.Bojangles...you have to realize folks hate for SU is strong at times. Esp, when another loud band comes along. Heck, someone said "SU can't articulate". I mean...how dumb is that?
What is the song @6:45
ASU HAS THE BEST 5 ON IT THERE IS SIT DOWN TALLADEGA
thats how you play a tuba! hear that shit? LMAO!!!
Is it me or does that 5 on it sounds slow as hell but anyway I think su took the W but I think only cuz of having better song selections cuz su didn't sound all that good either
