When you come for a MEAC percussion section you have to make sure you come correct, they have very few weaknesses and they're cleaner than the board of health. NCCU for the win!
NCCU won all across-the-board.. Sticking, showmanship, originality, and diversity with the cadences.. Alcorn stick to yo original style and stop tryna be W.T!!!!
They will always be different. Better is subjective in most cases. Appreciate them both. Rudiments are equally played and played well. Im only gave nccu the nod because their cadences had more versatility.
@@fluellenmediabymarekusflue6320 as much as I want to disagree with this answer, your response is the best. We love to say the MEAC has the best drum lines, but truthfully it depends on the eye of the beholder and the ear of the listener. Rudiments are rudiments and prairie view is damn good! Again, it’s based on your what you like, but I’m a SC STATE guy, so I feel the MEAC has the best. DOA is small, but they are always technically sound.
Just listening an amateur could tell that NCCU sounds cadences were better. First Alcorn was trying to hard because they knew NCCU were better from the very first cadences.
I honestly like nccu for the win here. Typically the versatility of the cadence does it for me. Im not a fan of the Carolina schools cause they don't vary but this was a nice contrasting battle. Great job by both schools. Top cadences were carried out well. But half sounded like the same cadence. Good. But didn't sound different. Liked that last one. That was nice.
@@zaishaw6602 I agree as a whole yes. Individually they look as much alike as Jackson and Alcorn or tnsu and Lane. Suttle differences but to the non percussive eye. No noticeable difference. I think each school can shine don't get me wrong, but some schools don't have enough of a difference to stand out. Here's the test I'd like to see. Put 10 lines in matching uniforms. Let them each play a cadence and then have a group determine which school is which. The uniqueness will stand out for some. For others. Not so much.
@@zaishaw6602 hey its just my opinion. But its not something we can test just yet. I'm thinking a blind fold study. Play 10 cadences. From variation of schools and see if someone can tell the difference?
Honestly, that's the difference between SWAC bands vs Meac bands/drumlines. I notice everybody in the SWAC kind of follow jsu style of playing. Well they all will see a real percussion section roll thru a city near you, and that's "SUDDEN IMPACT OF BETHUNE COOKMAN UNIVERSITY
@@kidd5952 funniest comment ever. When its game time, there will be no where for NCCU to hide. Alcorn sounds far beyond high school level. 90% of MEAC bands play at a middle to high school level, no real dynamic, just straight playing. BCU already got spanked by JSU without JSU trying. MEAC is not where its at, which is why FAMU and BCU uprooted to the SWAC.
@@georgedixon8095 never said that they wasn’t good. SWAC and MEAC are two different breeds. I’m sure they’ll hold they own in the SWAC but they are definitely not the best two in the SWAC.
FAMU AND BCC were the Best in the MEAC...and MEAC styles were better louder more professional...as you can tell...FAMU ans BCC will dominate in band and football 🤣🤣😅MEAC is more powerful
@@GVocalz3 i know we did the same thing when i was in Alcorn band . it didnt make sense then and it don't make sense now. Especially when it cost the same amount of money. To bring them to the event as it would to bring the whole drum section. Now the whole got footage of horrible sounding drum section . See The problem is Alcorn got a country ass band director with a Napoleon complex that know what the band job is .. Why would you go all the way to Atl and not play to nothing to raise your team spirit to fight for the victory, dont say . they played cause they didnt. They didnt play defense a tuba solo or a pep song the whole game ... This what happen when you hire the wrong person . the whole band dont get better just one section. The song selection is sad even is they play good and loud they still played the wrong song at they wrong time so no matter who you face you end up with that L. Shame on the band director.
@@marcuswilliams9039 I feel you and I agree with what you’re saying. They’re in the top 3 in the SWAC currently and hopefully he’ll get the picture and do what has to be done because the prospects are paying attention.
@@marcuswilliams9039 Chill out. The entire band was in ATL, everyone just was not present for this particular event because of the limited space each band had.
Steve Two of our Traditional cadences would have taken them out! We need to get back to our style and not everyone else’s and this new creative moving/missing target performance! #DeadHeartTOP

All of ALCORN cadences sound repetitive. NCCU with the versatility. They stole the show❤️🦅

Not true at all.
Bruh if this was A&T, Norfolk state, or scsu this would’ve been real ugly 😂😂
Both bands were clean. NCCU cranked 🥁
Alcorn is a talented band with a skilled drumline, but we're just built a bit different in North Carolina 😂...smashed em in the teeth! 🤭
Love my Alcorn and they were both clean but NCCU gave it all.
Nccu is clean
Wooooooo NCCU with that sticking❤️
Well deserved applause 👏🏽 to both drumlines! NCCU has my vote 🗳 for the win. Thank you for sharing 💗.
Just look away from your screens, and, listen with just your ears. Try it!🦅🦅🦅
NCCU won all across-the-board.. Sticking, showmanship, originality, and diversity with the cadences..
Alcorn stick to yo original style and stop tryna be W.T!!!!
Alcorn is alcorn
I'm sure they're not trying to be WT. It's just the same Alcorn as in the past.
@@drummaboiferguson2144 Lcorn. got smoked.
NCCU wore acorns tail OWT!
S/o to DOA and Captain Chris 🙌🏾 y’all keep handling business!
MEAC drumlines will always be better than SWAC. No comparison
Facts
They will always be different. Better is subjective in most cases. Appreciate them both. Rudiments are equally played and played well. Im only gave nccu the nod because their cadences had more versatility.

Can't say all of that, but I do give DOA their props. Most of y'all MEAC Drumlines look and kinda sound like DCI Drumlines...
HELL NO
Now y'all swac people finally get it. Nccu doa is nothing to play with. You better ask pvu drumline 😂
NCCU win
After 6 minutes, I need a Tylenol……
First and foremost #foreverAlcorn but woooooooo NCCU 👀🔥🔥🔥
EAGLE PRIIIIIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
NCCU won hands down!
they ain’t even play they best punches 😭, looks like central got a new pack in 🤣🤣🤣

That cadence at 3:27 was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s called “Boy George”

Nothing like Black College 'BattleOfTheBands' Football🔥🦅🖤🔥

Look at WT lil brother trying.
Man why the hell the flags standing in the damn way?
The bands and auxiliaries did seem to just be in the shots for no reason
Alcorn sounds like a high school. S/o to my set #DOA 💪🏾

All Alcorn need is to change them snare heads for some white heads! Everything else is fire on both sides👌
Alcorn need to get some new heads on them quints 😣
Dude playing quints for Alcorn is the father of the actual quint player
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

NCCU for the win. Idk what them other folk was doing. Gotta come correct when you come to NC.
Ion know why this remind me of drumline
Thought it was just me, NCCU did remind me of morris brown
Lcorn from here on out. Not sorry.
Both bands were great.
Brave high school going against a college line. What the high school in the purple shorts?
😂😂😂
Idk Alcorn didn't seem as crisp and together to me for some reason
Same here and I watch them a lot but something was definitely off

I cant stand Alcorn bruh smh im sorry mane they just don't get it done for me
Not bad for a high school drumline.
They’re college Lmao
Do you have any of the bands playing?
Yes
We got action 😁
Chamber's got dem sounds right
Brother Kj Hudson is the current instructor. Chambers is now a Head band director at a high school in VA
Central has consistently had great lines. Small band program, so the line is easily slept on
When did Central change they sound omg it don’t even sound right coming from them 😆
2003
Nccu doa won. The only thing I don’t like is. Some of central cadences sounded to fast. The normal play smoothly
💜💛💜💛💜💛
MEAC NCCU won this one also...the two Best Bsnds in the SWAC now will be FAMU and Bethune Cookman...much better style than Southern and clearer louder

Alcorn definitely giving me mediocre high school drumline vibes.
Alcorn was definitely boring. NCCU all day
Alcorn

No

Alcorn - Cleaner but kinda boring & no soul.... NCCU - kinda ruff around the edges but jammin & creative.
