I give this battle a Tie. But as a DSU Alumni. EOS you have to play some of your old historical challenge cadences that will put all battles out of reach. You have the material 👍🏿 Swing, No Name, HiHoe, Tempest, Symeria, Typewriter, and Accents would have demolished VSU easily. Good Job though ❤
Hmmm As a DSU alum and member of EOS… none of those cadences would have put this battle out of reach. Our old material doesn’t have the rudimental vocabulary to distance us from drumlines like VSU, NSU, or A&T. What made this battle a true win for VSU was the lack of cleanliness in our material. DSU has continue grow in being poised and producing clean and mature sound during these battles.
@@Peez22I believe your wrong. EOS has always had cadences for both rudimental and sticking difficulty. Most new EOS drummers dont know all of EOS challenge material. In challenging drumlines like CS, Mdfs, or NC Central. Their must be a mixture bro. Cadences like Hand solo, Challenger, Spellbound, No Name, Pump it up, and Chicago must come out of extinction if you guys are going to compete.
@@estokes3663I respect your belief, but as a member who marched for the section and played most of those cadences against those schools in the early 2000s (which wasn’t successful then), AND as the Drum Instructor who changed the style of DSU to what you see here (I am no longer there but most of that material is my writing). I saw that music has evolved and percussion for the East Coast HBCUs has evolved TREMENDOUSLY. DSU was getting left in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. We had to evolve to actually compete. We played some of those cadences for our Alum at homecoming during my time but they haven’t gotten to them. I believe they do need to come back but not for Battle purposes, they need to know their history and play them in the stands and during Homecoming so the alum can feel at home and build connection with the young ones who are playing now! However, THOSE cadences couldn’t hold a candle to NSU, A&T, SCSU, or BCU. Honestly they wouldn’t give us any separation from Morgan either. If you stop growing you are stagnant, and that is exactly what we were for too long. But again I respect your beliefs…
@@estokes3663I marched from 2016-2020 and was section leader 2018-2020 . And none of the traditional material would work in today’s battles. We elevated our thinking and playing which helped us reach a new level of playing to a collegiate level. We still incorporated older material into our repertoire but it wouldn’t be used in our battle blocks. When was the last time you came around?
Both lines were EXTREMELY dirty. Degree of difficulty definitely goes to VSU. All of the material from DSU was not at a high degree of difficulty. But BOTH definitely need more on the cleanliness side!
This the best I have seen Delaware in a long time
Great job, both lines, and camera work👍🏿
I agree Camera work is TOP TIER
Thanks for the support yall 😭 a brother trying to get the video side of things to be as good as my photos. Getting better with time 💯
@@mr.32knah ya vids clean bro! But respect the drive to be better 💯
VSU for the win
BIG STATE‼️
Chops

@@estokes3663Now also IF DSU had played cleaner they could have taken a bigger advantage because BOTH lines were EXTREMELY dirty!
DSU got that, VSU was disrespectful knowing they got fried 😂😂👎
who being disrespectful to who?
man stop chatting
The Only Two Things That Got Disrespected Was DSU’s Drumline And My Ears When I Heard DSU’s Drumline🤦🏾♂️
VSU💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
