SOD all day!!!! Man, I love how Murray, Martin and the rest of those guys are improving this band! I see Alcorn as 1 of the best HBCU Marching Bands hands down!
I'm sorry, "Happy" killed it for me! Alcorn played with balance, you could hear every part of EVERY song clearly. As time goes on TC will get better, and honestly the fact that BANDHEADS are comparing a 3-YEAR OLD BAND with SWAC giants should tell everyone that once TC gets an identity, balance and better arrangements to match their power, EVERY HBCU band is in trouble... PERIOD!
Tc had more balance this time then against juke but asu song selection ate that ass up and the golden girls I enjoyed you work out I got to give it to yall. yall be moving
+ Lou Faw they battle these bands in PARADE SEASON which means not the full band that's not a excuse that's a fact.TC need to clean up their sound before they can match the SWAC.Alcorn stay messing over TC now just imagine if they had the full band. They can't match SU without theirs so their full band would destroy them and they haven't got the test against JSU but trust me they not ready
damariun wilson my dude jsu and southern overblow to yall are just biased towards them since they are most known bands in the swac su doesnt soumd as good as u or anyone make them out to be not saying they sound bad but its a habit that most bands in the swac possess
When your recording or have a band setup where the mellophones are placed in front...of course that's the first thing your going to hear. It's obvious...
Iono where TC's dance team was at but OMFG GOLDEN GIRLS SLAYED THE SHIT OUTTA SOMEBODY!!! I mean let this be a lesson learned TC!!! Always come FULL!! Alcorn had danceteam and band full force which made you YOU TAKE THE L!!!
Does TC even have trumpets, because you can barely hear them. The mellos and btones are drowning them out. TC needs to work on balancing their sound out a lit bit more. But all in all, I give this one to Alcorn.
TC's first real battle was against Alcorn at the Jackson BOTB in 2013; it's what got them recognized. And now here we are lol Good Job. Alcorn didn't blow it with song selection or execution this time. Hope to see more of this. Previous clips show Talladega would sound MUCH better in the stands. The STANDS is where their strength lies. It's obvious that their "imbalance" is due in large part to this uneven formation. Let this be a learning tool
urbanprep87 I beg to differ. Tune and balance are different (but not independent) aspects of music; while being "in tune" has to do with the correct pitch, balance deals with an equal distribution of sound. This formation with the two loudest sections closest to the camera doesn't exactly ALLOW for equal distribution of sound, thus contributing largely (although not fully) to the imbalance. However, I won't comment on the over-blowing statement lol.
Overblowing is causing distorted pitches regardless of whether the band was initially out of tune, which probably is additional issue. Also, you're right. The chosen formation is effecting the recording and, therefore, the video playback. That is why the mellos, in particular, are louder than they would be if they were farther away from the camera. However, I can distinguish between loudness and imbalance pitch problems caused by overblowing. By the way, those particular sections are having imbalance (and pitch) issues amongst themselves as well as against other sections of the band. The other sections of the band seem not to be having the same issues. But I can't be certain, since two sections are clearly overblowing.
I said the same thing TC Handsome and Wealthy Garbage it don't even sound like the song at all and Alcorn won this battle and so did Su cause there making music yea there playing loud but not sacrificing musicianship TC plays loud and half the time you can't tell what the hell there playing this is what they have yet to learn in order to play loud ever section has to hold there own weight and TC shows time after time they can't do this cause trumpet cant hear them baritones shaky tubas sloppy mellos cool but way to loud its not balanced at all that's why I think they continue to take L's in these battles
urbanprep87 okay so wtf is alcorn doing what most swac bands do blasting there lungs into there instruments i dont even see why yall talk about balance when yall are doing the same as the exact im nkt defending tc bcuz loud noise should never be applauded however dont say a band is overblowing when the other is doing the exact same
some songs aren't for marching bands. if you pay attention (arrangers) to the instruments, synths, and sounds engineers are using. but wtf do i know. ijs
So Arcade Ace you saying TC shat on SU because of their volume? I don't get it, because whenever SU used to actually crank in people everyone said "they too loud, I can't hear the instruments, I can't appreciate their musicality" but instead TC does it and it's music. TFOH! TC just needs to clean up their sound, tune if you will because that band still hasn't found their identity. You can tell the difference between a well balanced band and someone who just wants to be heard and Alcorn demonstrated that. To everyone who still is saying TC is a better band please stop cause of that's the case you can say all of these high school Louisiana bands are the greatest of all times just cause they're loud. Lastly, Alcorn dug all in Talladega as well and they didn't even need their whole band. My thing is if TC fixes their sound and make their arrangements more advanced then and only then is when most of these people will give them their true credit. I respect them but they doing the most with trying to be loud. Loudness doesn't win the battle cause you covering up other weak sections and if one section messes up, IT SOUNDS BAD!
Very impressed with how thee Dyn-o-mite handled themselves. TC is good but oversized for what they put out; it's like getting a large bag of chips half full. Great job Alcorn the quality of balance over gets you the W. SOD proves they're more than the false comments & slanders put out by the Metro college
Talladega Doesn't Sound Bad , But They Don't Have Any Balance What So Ever , If Those Mellos And BTones Would Calm Down I Think They Would Sound Better. I Would Rather Have A Full Sound Where You Can Hear All The Instruments Instead Of Just Hearing Baritones And Mellos. Btw They Need To Be TUNED... Badly. They Might Wanna Stop Picking On This SWAC Bands Too.
moved to tears... Alcorn my alma matter made me proud in a dog fight... big dont mean shit.. dont start no shit wont be no shit.. niggas at alcorn have heart.. Alcorn beat dat ass today... yes Lawd Today.
Amil Now Alcorn was just trying to push the volume nothing more. They was like this as the SU game. If TC had I guess some what better arrangements lawd they would be in that top 3. Their music is better than hs it just need some reworking. Not mention chords
WHY WAIT TO GET A FOOTBALL TEAM?? Lol Just let them show up to a SWAC game in the absence of another band (like PV because they always miss games due to their location) and give us something to talk about! ... But that would mean they'll have to "polish" their field presence.
The way they place TC band is wrong why would you put the btones and Mellos in the front and everyone far back?? They will over power the rest of the band
lawd MUTHAFUCKIN HAMMERCY!!! That last song ALCORN AND GG'S!! WTF!! Granted I'm not even going to sit here and act like I've been sitting with the GG'S BUT GOT DAMN!!! I'M SORRY TC!!! THIS WAS A DONE DEAL!!! THEY FUCKED Y'ALL UP!! I give y'all props for what y'all did against southern but.. NO! Y'all half stepped this time... Get them damn woodwinds on the same beat when they move! And tell them damn french horns to BACK THE FUCK UP so we can hear the melody!!!
I know this is a parade but this much is clear about Alcorn. They are not like they used to be. Alcorn had a balanced sound, no overblowing, and no screaming horns on every song. They had a good flag corps and twirlers that added that something extra to their shows. All of that has been eliminated. If they wanted to "get back to their roots" then this is not the way to do it.
All u hear from TC are mellows and Btones!!! That's it!!! And intonation is horrible and they are super sloppy!!! But they are loud!!! Loud doesn't win a battle tho!!!
You know what makes me sick is that everyone that's not in the SWAC gets no Love! Talladega just got at Alcorn! give credit when credit is due! Don't hate on a school because they are not in the SWAC. Remember everybody came out of the SIAC first. Learn your history.
Band been together 4years and keep playing the same 5 songs. Wtf are you guys doing in band camp. And to only play 5 songs they should be way cleaner. Alcorn gets the W.
Mannn Dega's arrangements are horrible, all I hear is the entire band playing single line melody (which by the way makes them sound loud), tuba line, and drums.... Where's the harmony, where's the counter melodies???
Alcorn wasn't playing with TC, DAMN!!!!! and Talladega got to be the worst sounding band this year. Loud and just nasty bruh.. Handsome and wealthy need to be thrown into the sewer, b tones loud but missing notes and shit at 7:17 euwww, mellos sound like they're playing under water, trumpets aint bringing no heat, worst arrangement EVER, sound like a Soulja Boy ft D4L, Big Freedia, and Rich Boy remix or some shit, and why are yall still playing happy? Better increase yall book, if yall had a football team yall will have to play songs from the zero quarter all the way to 5th quarter, thats 6 quarters.. I dont think yall will be able to hang, yall barely making it through these lil parade battles..ijs
Yall just saying Alcorn won cause nobody like TC lol but clearly TC got this one...... balance or nor balance they still sounded better than alcorn....do get me wrong though Alcorn sound very good!!
Son. Let it go. You're in denial. One day you will realize: 1) nobody cares about TC enough to dislike them; and 2) TC sounds bad 3) Alcorn is just a better band
SOD all day!!!! Man, I love how Murray, Martin and the rest of those guys are improving this band! I see Alcorn as 1 of the best HBCU Marching Bands hands down!

Rep for the SWAC Alcorn
Alcorn takes the W, Talladega sounded even worst than yesterday. They sound weaker or something
That makes TC 0 and what vs SWAC bands
3-0 Cuz they never have excuses TC over anybody
+ Lou Faw they battle these bands in PARADE SEASON which means not the full band that's not a excuse that's a fact.TC need to clean up their sound before they can match the SWAC.Alcorn stay messing over TC now just imagine if they had the full band.

damariun wilson sound like a jsu fan

On that Handsome and Wealthy that Dega did, I heard NO trumpets 😂😂😂

same Thing i said, Probably because they are So Far back
Alcon sounds better than SU and TC up close.....comparing the same camera that was used within a couple days..
BTW Golden Girls I live for those counts. Don't really care for the purple and yellow fringe on the seam of the pants but yal working it.
What's the first song Alcorn played

Damn
PV would mash dega up the old PV sound is back and dangerous lol💯🔥🔥🔥
Them damn golden girls tore sum shit up lol rep for the swac Alcorn
But u still have to give tc some credit because they battled 2 SWAC bands back to back
TC haven't been on it every since Miles have them that work. Ijs.
Why did TC have one of there students direct handsome and wealthy? Like did he arrange or something? But mellos were smashing on that one
TC took the L. ALCORN went Dumb idk why TC keep trying to battle these Swac Bands.
PS. I was done with TC when they played Happy😐 #carryon
Lol they play that last year
alcorn took drugs before this lol cause they oded
I would like to hear TC's Tpets and TBones but could only hear Mellos and occasionally Btones and Tubas. Balance is non-existent.
Very impressed with how thee Dyn-o-mite handled themselves. TC is good but oversized for what they put out; it's like getting a large bag of chips half full. Great job Alcorn the quality of balance over gets you the W. SOD proves they're more than the false comments & slanders put out by the Metro college

Amil Now Bruh I'm peeping you out now. You're that same Jackson azz dude
ALCORNbtone8912NtZ actually Memphis. But what difference does it make when in comes to this band just blaring?
Amil Now Alcorn was just trying to push the volume nothing more. They was like this as the SU game. If TC had I guess some what better arrangements lawd they would be in that top 3. Their music is better than hs it just need some reworking. Not mention chords
Oooowee SOD all day!
TC YALL NOT READY FOR THESE HBCU BANDS ! MY HBCU 💜💛
WHY WAIT TO GET A FOOTBALL TEAM?? Lol Just let them show up to a SWAC game in the absence of another band (like PV because they always miss games due to their location) and give us something to talk about!
... But that would mean they'll have to "polish" their field presence.
Stratospheric highs from 'Dega trumpets!
I'm sorry but Alcorn dancers just give me a tribe from Kenya when they dance... Yall so wild look like yall dancing on hot coal lawd!!

Alcorn was giving it to them boys....they had color and texture the whole time
The way they place TC band is wrong why would you put the btones and Mellos in the front and everyone far back?? They will over power the rest of the band
TC taking dubs #btone4life

Get them damn woodwinds on the same beat when they move! And tell them damn french horns to BACK THE FUCK UP so we can hear the melody!!!
Why Dega bones sound so weak? Alcorn with the W. theres more to life than playing loud.
TC got smashed by a band the exact same size or even smaller. TC just stop.
Good job ggs
I know this is a parade but this much is clear about Alcorn. They are not like they used to be. Alcorn had a balanced sound, no overblowing, and no screaming horns on every song. They had a good flag corps and twirlers that added that something extra to their shows. All of that has been eliminated. If they wanted to "get back to their roots" then this is not the way to do it.
Alcorn quads 2 song
That chord at 6:42!!!! O_O
What's the name of this first song ASU played?
Gimme Dat
No need to even say who won
Alcorn Got It
TC sounded much better than the weakest link of SWAC high school bands sound than Alcorn
I personally thought TC handsome and wealthy sounded str8 👌
Nahh pimp that's trash and you know it it was wrote for power and doesn't capture any of the songs integrity
Alcorn is intense and aggressive.
TC is loud and sloppy.
All u hear from TC are mellows and Btones!!! That's it!!! And intonation is horrible and they are super sloppy!!! But they are loud!!! Loud doesn't win a battle tho!!!
talledega playing songs from last year

You know what makes me sick is that everyone that's not in the SWAC gets no Love! Talladega just got at Alcorn! give credit when credit is due! Don't hate on a school because they are not in the SWAC. Remember everybody came out of the SIAC first. Learn your history.
Only three schools from the SWAC use to be in the SIAC
Band been together 4years and keep playing the same 5 songs. Wtf are you guys doing in band camp. And to only play 5 songs they should be way cleaner. Alcorn gets the W.
f-horn Chord @6:18 😍😍😍 i love
Hmmm
TC mellos are just swallowing the whole band lmao
Mannn Dega's arrangements are horrible, all I hear is the entire band playing single line melody (which by the way makes them sound loud), tuba line, and drums.... Where's the harmony, where's the counter melodies???

I dont think yall will be able to hang, yall barely making it through these lil parade battles..ijs
Alcorn sounds way more mature. better tone, brass playing more in focus. Talladega is badly out of tune. Mellos are loud but sound awful
Alcorn sound nice but tc takes the w
Yall just saying Alcorn won cause nobody like TC lol but clearly TC got this one...... balance or nor balance they still sounded better than alcorn....do get me wrong though Alcorn sound very good!!
Son. Let it go. You're in denial. One day you will realize: 1) nobody cares about TC enough to dislike them; and 2) TC sounds bad 3) Alcorn is just a better band
Right. I think the 2 bands are very much alike actually. It was a tie. Just loud
