Highlight moments for me: 1. Intro- Musiq Soulchild “Love” transition to Keisha Cole “Love” 🤌🏽 2. Intro-Bobby Valentino “Slow Down” transition to Skip Marley/H.E.R “Slow Down” 🔥 3. “Wishing on a Star”- Rose Royce then ended it with the tag “When you wish upon a star” from Disney by Cliff Edwards ✨ 4. “Water”🌊 by Tyla was arranged soooo good! 5. Master Class ✍🏽 and great band musicians.
Going to say something I didn't think I'd ever have to type... SU didn't have the POWER to keep up with JSU at this battle. Not just sheer force of sound but clarity and musically JSU mopped this all the way up.
It’s a culture change at SU…. Haymer had them Stupid…. Simmons tried to duplicate what once was, with all the antics and clown shit…and that’s when the discipline got lost!! Kendrick is a great musician, but not sure he is what the Jukebox needs to be….”The Jukebox”…
I love both programs for the culture 💪🏽 JSU is a complete band this year - all sections are doing their jobs, which is awesome to hear !! SU knows within the program what they need to work on this year- but they are still 1B in the SWAC… great battle to both programs and students
Yep, but Kevan Johnson’s pen is better than both right now. He put on a master class in arrangements during this battle. They played primarily Kevan’s arrangements this battle. I think he had 3, Little had one, Travis had maybe two. They are a great trio. They have their mix for the next 5 years or more if they stick together.
After I finished dancing to Candy Rain (whew, my legs were tired), JSU had my attention big time. Good battle. Both bands had an issue here and there (SU more than JSU). I have to give this to JSU. Their songbook was better. I love them all, but that Candy Rain just took me away for a minute 😅. Fantastic job, JSU! OUTSTANDING. Oh, and Steven, your facial expressions are killing me, LOL. "Yes, I was laughing at the trumpets." LMFAO
You know a band doing band when they got Steven cursing. Throughly enjoyed your reaction. And yea this wasn’t close at all. Actually gave southern a 2 on “Weak” because that was just terrible. Idk what’s happening to southern but this ain’t the band we been used to
They haven’t been right since Haymer was terminated or resigned. I’m not a fan of Southern but I will say that they used to give JSU a run for they money sometimes when Haymer was their director.
As a Spartan Legion alum and a band head I was entertained by both bands but around the 29:21 Mark JSU started to widen the gap and separate themselves from SU during this battle. Song selection played a huge part in my opinion of who came out on top. Both had miscues but Southern’s were more prominent. I still think both bands are awesome. BEHOLD✊🏾💚💛
JSU…. Strait BEAST!!! SU has upset me, I remember battling with them in 94, way better back in the day. I think band a are so busy going with size instead of quality.
Say my brother Steven holiday you got to marry hater’s out there cause they mad cause southern university marching band from jaguar land is the number one marching band from jaguar land
Yeah That Rap Song Slammed That One Song Jackson Played Come On Dude Keep It Real... All That Skating JSU Did Thru Out This Battle.. The Difference Is SOUTHERN IS MORE CLEAR...
This the real size of the BOOM for everybody wondering how they got this big . We had a schedule full of away games so the whole band didn’t come
JSU one of the only bands that hear FEATURE their woodwinds. So crisp.
Their woodwind section is very good and loud!!
The woodwinds in the country. They play with clarity and confidence.

To be honest, jsu had the discipline and maturity that su lacked. You can tell they did not want to play most of the songs that they played.
It’s a culture change at SU…. Haymer had them Stupid…. Simmons tried to duplicate what once was, with all the antics and clown shit…and that’s when the discipline got lost!! Kendrick is a great musician, but not sure he is what the Jukebox needs to be….”The Jukebox”…
And that’s MYYYYY opinion my .02.
J👏🏽S👏🏽muthafreakin U!!!! The clarity, entertainment value and arrangements are top tier! Crown 👑 them! 🤌🏽
How could anyone hate that yodel-y sound in Keisha Cole's LOVE??? I loved it from jump
The JSU trumpet box is TALENTED!
The Sonic Boom is the Captain now!!!!!
Yeah I give it to JSU 👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Jackson State is definitely bringing the heat in this battle 🔥

Travis pen is good but Dr. Little pen game is off the charts .
Yep, but Kevan Johnson’s pen is better than both right now. He put on a master class in arrangements during this battle. They played primarily Kevan’s arrangements this battle. I think he had 3, Little had one, Travis had maybe two. They are a great trio. They have their mix for the next 5 years or more if they stick together.
I watched this video 4 times and jsu went off the radar in 10 different levels 😂😂💪💪💪
Same here. I’ve watched it 4 times also. I can literally listen to jsu and clean up my home. Lol. They sound amazing
“Wishing on a star” was the special and I’m a SU fan… they are clearly the best band this year hands down!!!
This is only more proof that HBCUs can host their own botbs
Exactly!!
Luv Da Boom 💙🤍💙🤍
Da boom dawg walked su twice in one season. Dooley was let go from SU. Next Taylor, su band director will be let go😂
Nailed it!!! JSU 💙💙💙

Facts!!!!!
Southern has all of those tubas and you can barely hear them. Dawg Team still demolished them with the 20 they have.
Woodwinds are out bottle girls in the band. They literally the LITTEST🤣🤣🤣
JSU won

Southern has tempo issues this year.
I love how he acts like he hasn't watched this already 😅
It was at the 14:02 mark that Steven knew SU was in trouble lmaooo
