LOL. Some of these comments are funny as hell. Here's the deal. These are two solid but underrated programs. They are cut from the same mold in that regard. They both can slap you in the mouth if you sleep on them. Miles and TC can hand some L's to some of the more known programs on their best day. With that being said I knew this one would be pretty good. Both bands were solid here. One more powerful, one more musical. Pick your poison.
I was with you until "on their best day." TC is far from handing an L to the Box or the Boom "on their best day". Fact is: Miles is a respectable program that can hold its own. More than anything, they just lack consistency. TC on the other hand (without taking any credit from them or underrating them) still has a long way off. They have earned their own respect as program but you put your foot in your mouth when you give them credibility like you're trying to do. Let them crawl and enjoy the journey of building a program before you try to slap a W on them against the Box of the Boom. They're just not there...especially musically. Any band with 275+ members can be the loudest...but it takes a rock solid program to hold the crown. Unfortunately Miles isn't trying hard enough for the crown and TC just simply has not earned it. They have work to do.
Just to throw this out there, this would be one good classic if TC had a football team. This could be a good rival for both schools. They both went toe to toe with each other and would be awesome to see them both meet more often. Just putting some positive comments out there.
I hope they put Dega in the SIAC bring back some swagg. I remember back in the early 90's we had AL.A&M, MBC, Albany State, Morehouse, Miles, and FVSU had some great battles back then!
This was a close battle, but i give the W to...... no one it was a tie. That's my opinion. And i will not argue with anyone without a Masters degree and at least 6 yrs band experience.
Then you should be ashamed you even watched this video LOL ! Please tell what you thought you were going to view my good man . word to the wise after see " Miles-vs- Talladega " proceed with caution cause musicality will be a distant second it that one buddy . As we say where I'm from this was a blowfest LOL !
Talladega technicality skills r no where near par, sorry. This is not middle n high school. I know im a lower brass and percussion player and I've been doing this for a while. Talladega is not bein loud, they r blaring. Thts a major difference. Listen @ their song list. No articulation, no clarity no nun. I understand their just a 3 yr program but now if you talking abt playing with the big boys its time to ack like it.
yungtank5041 i really could give two fucks about wat people say about us...if you cant say shit nice then dont say shit at all.....we must be the best if we're (a 3year band program who was invited to the honda battle of the bands i mean there is where the best of the best go right????? ok then
I'm an old school "JUKE", and in my humble opinion, Talladega is very powerful, but still very immature when it comes to execution! In a BOTB's, chart selection, as well as the timing of songs played, is very important. Lastly, quality of arrangements comes into play when you want to separate yourself from the pack. Miles College seemed to have a slight edge with the arrangements, and a noticeable advantage in execution of the songs that they played. They obviously had a smaller sound, but it was clean, and played in ensemble style. This will bare itself out, when my Jukebox host Talladega this Fall. If I am not mistaken, Talladega has some "Jukes" on their staff, so I do wish them well also!
The way Miles us set up in the stands reminds me of TnSU in 2012 v BCU. That arrangement of Hotel California is pretty good too but Miles took it with Beat It.
I like the effect Talladega is giving off. They are soooo loud and aggressive! Miles is really loud too. Dirty Diana is my favorite Miles song!!! Miles Wins.
For the people hounding TC about complexity of arrangements lets be real. There are several programs out there right now that are considered by many in the band world to be solid that play the same caliber of music or lower.
I gottta say, Miles was bringing that heat right back, did far better than i thought they would, But my God, Tc sounded like demonically possessed beasts on the horns..
Well the volume button is the least that should be judged...The music selection and ability to clearly hear the notes to me makes all the difference... I would give the edge to Miles for now.
Talladega has nice tuba section (considering they are a Southern clone) and the band has an intense sound for such a young program. People should be concerned; Talladega will only get better! Famu Marching "100" WHITE WHALES
that damn miles took TC ass to school and i keep watching this over and over and this was pure school coming from a JSU head I loved this battle BIG UPS TO MILES AND THEIR BAND DIRECTORS
Talladega got so many haters! Of course they not gone sound/be the best but they just a 3 year a band program and better than most bands that have been around 50+ years I am not a fan of them but I give credit where its due they are doing good keep up the good work.
***** Sorry fella. Last year maybe. This year SU is on another level all together. Not a fan at all but SU is rounding the bases pretty dang good this year without loosing their signature style.
It was so funny when the promoter asked TC to play the star-Spangled Banner and Tc didn't know it!! LMBO Why nobody is talking about miles killing tc on the field?? I'll wait!!
This is coming from a BETHUNE COOKMAN WILDCAT FAN,Miles underman an all gave TC a run for their money especially that 1st song and that Tuba solo was just sick
If Bethune Cookman would ever get on that type of level it will be lights out for everybody in the swac and the meac however they have too much class to stoop to that type of level even though it's very entertaining Mr wells would not let the band do that though I wish he would
Dedric Sanders in the 5th quarter I absolutely agree, far as halftime NO ONE STAND A CHANCE against us. I'm no hater of Southern I really like them and Jackson State they like to entertain the crowd far as stands but when it comes to halftime FAMU and Bethune Cookman excels at that
Dedric Sanders but on some real shit though bro I wish our band director would allow our band to jam in the fifth quarter you have to remember we are 350 + southern nor Jackson State can fuck with us if our band director chose to get on that crankin stuff it will be ball game for you guys
I was there and TC was just loud but started to die down due to their lack of endurance. If they played a whole season that wouldn't happen. They should have demolished Miles with that instrumentation but because they are so 1 dimensional meaning only blowing every song I give the win to Miles because they sounded damn good, had musicality, and power. TC trumpets were nice though.
From an unbiased person, people are hating on Talladega...they are straight up scary lol I guarantee you a lot of bands not trying to see them with all that sound they are pushing. Miles didn't punk down though..props to them.
People sleep on both of these bands... JSU, SU and AlaSU better watch out... Looking forward to seeing what the Dega Diamonds (TC's danceline) transform into over the next few years.
damariun wilson , but I have witnessed Bama St, Tsxu, Tenn St, and etc, handle JSU a few times. Southern has taken a few L's also. It depends on the year. I'll say SU and JSU are consistent, but not in a league of their on. Maybe to a delusional fan.
+rod3820 every band takes loses but one thing is that SU and JSU don't take very many at all most of the time when one of them loses is to each other so that's why they are in a league of their own they bring so much more that others band can't not just being loud but control and great sounds for a band that plays a powerful as they do its not delusional it's true
So, nobody wanna talk about the fact that TC got challenged and came out In a "draw" with a band that is half its size? So either TC sucks or some of yall band heads are sleeping on Miles, you better watch out, to quote ourselves "WE ARE THE PMM, AND WE DONT GIVE S NOTHIN BOUT, YOU!!!!" Thanks for the great clips though bandtube, you guys are doing some quality work, its good to see some high quality video's going up and I know band heads everywhere appreciate it. Thank you!
Hoq can u vouch a sloop ass band that cant even do a decent halftime show they got even got blown on by miles thet half they size and not only that but they march former su members and still suck they couldnt even go toe to toe with mmh so that shit is dead
Yes, there is no doubt in mind that TC need to work on their control of playing. However, TC won hands down they're way more technical the Miles, don't get me wrong Miles held their ground, but TC in my opinion took the Win.
Mark Swiss How is TC more technical than miles? I have heard miles paly a march this past season and I have not heard TC play one. If you want to get technical, there you go. I am not downing TC, they have a lot of potential. Just like any band starting, they have to be groomed an nurtured and they will get where they need to be. I will be looking and listening to more of them.
2013 was a pivotal year for, but 2014 Dega was that band frfr. They’ve got so much smaller now. They still sound amazing though. Miles also. This was a pivotal year for them as well. I know they’ve been hot, but 2014 was like a bounce back year. They’ve had much success in maintaining a strong program up until now. Maybe it’s the recruitment for both bands.
i read some of these comments and my band director went to tc and he was probably in this video so idc what they did or how the sounded (which was awesome ) I'm riding to the END !!!!
miles would be shitting on a lot of people if they had more trumpets and a few more trombones but other than that that straight af......there needs to be like an alabama band showcase with aamu,asu,dega,miles, and maybe skeegee lol that would be dope and of course some high schools
First off they didn't even post the whole battle, miles ran out of songs so they left and TC kept playing songs and then played fanfares in the stands and at the buses
I like the 05- 06 PMM better....their version of neck and dirty d was better....they were more aggressive and raw.... would have put them against anybody in the SWAC....
Lol it's very obvious Tht the camera man was much closer to miles can't even see the whole band, and ppl keep saying TC need new songs more than half these songs were this years selections. So pick a new excuse to use for TC busting ass, thanks
Mile College All Day! I Have Much Respect For Young TC, But Miles Took Yall Boys To School. Mile Power Was Backed With Clarity, TC On The Other Sounded Like No One Was Taught How To Tongue A Note.

@@xaviersb2480 my how times have changed. TC just handed the boom a L in their own stadium.
TC cymbals be having some fye twirls on every song
Miles college tubas neck is ridiculous !

Talladega takes then win, but Miles put up one helluva a fight!

Miles college tubas were sweet when they played their first song .😎 Gave chills when they played it so smooth ❄️
if tc joinedd the siac this wouldd be an epic rivalry . 🙇
Donalon Grimes not nomore 😂😂 miles back
Dega is too good to be in the SIAC.
From a juke miles sounds nice. They on the come up n TC aint bad either bright futures ahead under the right direction
Man i LOVE the X-Files theme Miles played. Maybe because I'm a huge X-Files fan. lol. PMM 2003 Phi Funk

That it was I almost cried.

Miles was on it and so was dega..

You can't pay me to march in any of these colors!

i gotta say dega won
Clearly Miles College won
It was so funny when the promoter asked TC to play the star-Spangled Banner and Tc didn't know it!! LMBO
Why nobody is talking about miles killing tc on the field?? I'll wait!!
I can't say I liked that Chicago arrangement but damnit it was intense
Miles shock me! Salute!!!
This is coming from a BETHUNE COOKMAN WILDCAT FAN,Miles underman an all gave TC a run for their money especially that 1st song and that Tuba solo was just sick
Yes miles tubas are amazing makes me wanna pick up a tuba again and play
If Bethune Cookman would ever get on that type of level it will be lights out for everybody in the swac and the meac however they have too much class to stoop to that type of level even though it's very entertaining Mr wells would not let the band do that though I wish he would
Dalion Keyng SU would still bust Cookman azz!!

+ProfSnipes1 a Miles vs JSU BOTB needs to be hooked up! Maybe a three way with JSU, MILES, ASU or even add TC
+Jordan Williams in Memphis

Real talk. Dega basses tagging them dots.
This was pretty much a TIE both bands need work in various areas ,,,but not bad overall ,,,and pretty entertaining !!!
Okay #talladega sounds good. I can see how they got into HBOB 2015 selection now.
Both bands compliment each other!
Big ups to the student nice arrangement!!!! That boy go be a beast!!!!
both bands did a great job!
Miles Rude though especially that tuba solo🤙🏽🤘🏽

Miles 1st trumpets opened up on that dirty Diana break down fa real ya heard
Miles vs bigger Miles
Lmao miles vs their overweight brother Talladega they sound like miles from 04 -07
D Pope lol right.
This is so disrespectful to Miles College! Sorry man but you have taken this to far! Talladega sound bad!!
jimmy Carson they both sounded good. If you want to take what I said as a shot at miles then ok.
Hey where did you get your profile picture?? Is that the dude from the band camp movie ?? Kmsl
i see nothing close about this battle but tubas. TC definetly takes W
I love miles band so diverse
Man Dega First Song is cut throat
Miles >>>>>>
Yes
Both bands had something to prove yall
I would love to see Talladega play Dirty Diana. The would kill it.
Talladega sounded good man
Never thought I would hear the X-Files theme played
People sleep on both of these bands... JSU, SU and AlaSU better watch out... Looking forward to seeing what the Dega Diamonds (TC's danceline) transform into over the next few years.

Tc loud as hell but that's it. Miles took this one.
That sound tho At 23 mark
These guy aren't just your average hbcu horn players that know a few scales; most of these literally have good tones.
Telladega is just horribly loud
Woulda been nice to see a tuba battle (Dega=🔪 Miles=🔫
What's the first song Dega played?
Michael Jackson - Chicago
Miles gave them the business
I think it's a tie Dega and Miles were smackin
Niether of them can fuck with bama state though dega got taken to school half they size dega is srry and miles is on the come up
Bruh you crazy Dega will murder ASU
Hoq can u vouch a sloop ass band that cant even do a decent halftime show they got even got blown on by miles thet half they size and not only that but they march former su members and still suck they couldnt even go toe to toe with mmh so that shit is dead
Drake Junior the same bama steak that ran twice from tc lol ite.....dont bitch up at honda
Right!!!

Same in 2023😂
Big ups to PMM awesome job I thoroughly enjoyed this battle.
The only battle we had fun at.. Intense!! No old heads taking the fun out of the craft. Miles and tc vs alabama!
Miles is a fucking problem,I never thought any band would play "Beat It" and the arrangement was Lit🔥🔥
Miles played it 05
Beat It has been smashed several times

Talladega arrangements are very simple and trust me they r not that loud in person
I feel you it the same with su, it more of a sound thing. youtube videos always lie youngin
The difference is SU is powerful tc is loud
Miles sounded great but other than tubas and Btone they had no heat
Dammit why they so good lol
The Baby Jukebox.. Still trying to be like daddy huh
miles would be shitting on a lot of people if they had more trumpets and a few more trombones but other than that that straight af......there needs to be like an alabama band showcase with aamu,asu,dega,miles, and maybe skeegee lol that would be dope and of course some high schools
I so agree with you a Bama BOTB would be great outta all the States with Hbcu bands Bama had the most! With 4 powerful bands and 3 on the come up!
Exactly bro
First off they didn't even post the whole battle, miles ran out of songs so they left and TC kept playing songs and then played fanfares in the stands and at the buses
We Didn't run out of songs . They made us leave because we were taking over the BOTB . We were mad that we had to leave but shid . It is what is it .
Miles got some heat tho
Miles tubas though!!!!
Miles trumpets are not heard at all.
Dega Mellos though
what the fuck are miles drum majors doing on dirty Diana. I understand routines but that was ..................wth
Sorry Miles, Talladega is too powerful
kirkseyava thats only cause they bigger but miles sounded better and that song with miles tuba fanfare in it that shit over topped tc power
@@marionmarion6852 no.... it didn’t LOL
that's the whole damn school
Tv just loud and simple
I like the 05- 06 PMM better....their version of neck and dirty d was better....they were more aggressive and raw.... would have put them against anybody in the SWAC....
05-06 Was Basically Unstoppable .. They Are Better Than The Miles We Have Today
Lol it's very obvious Tht the camera man was much closer to miles can't even see the whole band, and ppl keep saying TC need new songs more than half these songs were this years selections. So pick a new excuse to use for TC busting ass, thanks
