I Attend SWD And Play Alto Sax For The Band; I Went On This Trip And Must Say That It Was A Clear Blow Out But Whiteheaven Tigers Were The Only Competitors & If Miami Central Would Have Showed Up They Would Have Been Competitors To. But Hope To See You In Georgia In November Whiteheaven and Good BOTB.
Both SWD And WHS r the Best High School bands in their State even though we r 2 totally different styles we both Showed up and showed out at this event. Whitehaven made this a fun BOTB
Everybody is commenting on what band sounds the loudest. Lets remember that the guy video taping this competition is actually on the same side of the field as WHS. SWD was clear across the field and still was blowing! SWD won this one hands down! WHS did their thang though.
Both bands sound pretty darn good. Don't care for unison much (SWD), but well done. A very baised recording because of distance differences but good footage none the less. I'll take you got it over the longest rendition of vice versa in history any day. However SWD's skin was better. The quick clip of girl please was a beast. Not sure why it was cut off. Not enough from either to say who's better. Of whole rounds caught I give the first one to WHS (You got it) and the second to SWD (Skin).
and looking at this battle and comparing that SWD to BOTB SWD and comparing that Whitehaven to Nationals Whitehaven IT IS EVIDENT BOTH OF THESE BANDS WORKED HARD TO COME SUPER CLOSE TO MASTERING THEIR CRAFT! on some real ish if these 2 were to battle again it would be something really serious
At a 5th glance I see it the same. WHS's you got it & girl please was straight pushin, but SWD's skin was performed better. The tuba's started shaky at the beginning of skin. I thought they were about to drop the ball. They quickly fixed that. Still see it as a draw. Wish SWD had have stayed. Only super heavy weights give WHS a challenge now & they don't meet up enough. It's fun watching the home town champ mix it up with out of towners. They hold there own with much larger groups extremely well
I think a few of you don't realize that Whitehaven could not compete in the BOTB because they were the host. SWD was in competition with everyone else. I just keep reading post like we won at your event. They were not allowed to compete.
Redan Boi!! We yanked on SWD a few times ourselves. No FAMU didnt get blown out by SU. SU had more intensity but it sounded bad. Thats not the case here. Whitehaven doesnt have bad tone quality. SWD tone aint bad either but Whitehaven had more and didnt have phasing problems like SWD. So the verdict is Whitehaven - W SWD - L
Smh everybody is judging the this battle off who is louder and not who is cleaner that is funny because in a battle just because your loud dont mean you sound good. As for as SWD go I heard them be alot and i mean alot cleaner, Whitehaven yall skin sucked to out of tune and the screaming at the end was wack. SWD yall skin wasn't as clean as it could have been and please note Whitehaven is playing Howard arragement of skin and SWD is playing FAMU 1989 arragement. Overall it was a DECENT Battle.
@phssu please man how do you sound like an elementry school but have wonderful arrangments? Man Su could never sound as good as FAMU, Su glory days are over and just like there glory days this convocation with you is now over.
pretty good....some people got a little excited on both sides and started playing out of the character of their instrument..but overall pretty damn good
Yeah I noticed that when I looked at the video again. My bad. But SWD was loud and they were bad enough to come to a Memphis BOTB and win EVERY category except for percussion!
@meat3456 I guess you didn't read fella. You must be one of those people I'm talking about, I didn't say SWD lost. I said the fieldshow portion had nothing to do with WHS. I was speaking about all the comments made about winning at the host's event. Don't know what you guys do in the GA, but here the host of an event is not allowed to compete because of the possibility of biased judging in favor of the host band. Come on guy, read. Don't just retaliate.
o ok i thought so, well the other ppl in our band started acting like punks because we were losing the game. they were saying why play if we are losing. my section(trombones) only 4 out of 12 wanted to play everybody was acting the same way. then they were like its too cold to play
ok this is early in the school year and ppl r still lookin at this video and i bet half of these ppl on here talkin about SWD wasn't at nationals and i bet if they was, they wouldnt be sayin the shit they are now...get a life. P.S. y do every band from atl just think they the ish. Yall still got work to do just like every other band program
heck naw WHS certainly won this. WHS was much louder than SWD. SWD sound was not evenly compared with their size. For them to be that big, they should have been blowing like a college. they were not as expected but they did their thing. they were the only competition for us. not to mention, im a member of the WHS band..
no sure i got sport illustrated magazines and videos wit my face on em... and hell nah we wouldnt have played for McClain but he didnt have a chance in hell. I was apart of the historic "50 pack" tuba section. all 09 did was a Superbowl that we didnt see and didnt get any airtime on. and SWD doesnt play just like FAMU. They can only imitate what FAMU does
Oh yeah, two different styles, I think Whitehaven was slightly better at their style, than SWD was at their style in the stands, SWD field show looked much better though.
@phssu Tell me when they have ever beat FAMU? because FAMU cam in to BR eat'em at half time and then kill'em in the stands SU didn't even stay for the 5th qt so FAMU played for their fans.
@Pzel1 Please tell me when JSU,SU and TnSU has every beat "The 100" in any thing? Man please SU got they ass rip in 2007,2002 so what are you saying? JSU hmmmm man please and TnSU already know they get they ass beat.
SWD Won the Skin Battle. WHS Woodwinds pissed me off for being not in tune (skin is a woodwind song! if your familar with Howards Skin), the lowerbrass is also covering up the trumpets sound.
i thought this was a high school band video. yall talking about two colleges, which one i really dont care for.(FAMU). lets keep it about this video. the high scholl bands are soon to play on a college band level one day. its high school guys, not college. since yall wanna bring in the college bands BCU MARCHING WILDCATS ARE THE BADDEST BAND IN THE LAND. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! FAMU NOR SU CAN TOUCH THEM.
I've never really liked either arrangement from SWD, they play them well though, trumpets weren't really holdin it down as much as I would have liked on Skin, got kinda sloppy on the runs, Vice Versa, i liked the tag right before the chant starts, I don't really the arrangement after that, too much goin on imo. Whitehaven trombones are beasty, I like their arrangements better hands down, there were definitely a few awkward notes, but overall, they held it down, I liked the power.
whitehaven lost to southwest dekalb that day the question is have southwest dekalb ever lost... most people dnt knw but dats da southwest dekalb band in dat get buck video by young buck
i wouldn't go that far. Not to much sure about tennessee so i guess whitehaven gets that by default. But i know georgia pretty well....and SWD is not the HANDS DOWN BEST!! They're a GREAT program....But not the BEST!!
did i say anything about FAMU vs SU? NO im saying yo alma mater (right up there ^^^^^) is gettin yanked (cause crank aint the word for it) on but Whitehaven (right over there ^^^^) for the word to see.... tighten up.... I came up Fall 08.... Freshman
Nobody knew any of that stuff was comin... u know why? cause we made it happen. And what does me being in college have to do with a man making a simple spelling error? We all human arent we? Look im done argue over the internet... No matter who SWD tries to be like, this clip (yep... this one right here ^^^^) shows SWD getting cranked on by Whitehaven. Whitehaven had more intensity, sounded just as good, WITHOUT FUCKIN UP THE TEMPO. Just man up and take the L when u get it. Tighten up.
@phssu I sound Ignorant? But you can't even spell you right or type a complete sentence. Have you even heard SU in person complex fool please they use half and whole notes in most songs they dont have tune controll at all and the last thing them fool ever think about is dynamics. Give me one song arrangement of SU's that sounds better than FAMU's.
@phssu How in the hell is SU sound complex man sit down with that BS, tell SU to get some tune controll and learn to be dynamic for once them clown don't have any dynamics at all smh if you go listen to the SU then yea back then they was some monsters but now even ol head jukeboxs dont even like the new trash box, Tell SU to get to a super bowl then holla at me.
I Attend SWD And Play Alto Sax For The Band; I Went On This Trip And Must Say That It Was A Clear Blow Out But Whiteheaven Tigers Were The Only Competitors & If Miami Central Would Have Showed Up They Would Have Been Competitors To. But Hope To See You In Georgia In November Whiteheaven and Good BOTB.
.......Did not know we were that loud This could turn out 2 be a classic year 4 us at SWD
Both SWD And WHS r the Best High School bands in their State even though we r 2 totally different styles we both Showed up and showed out at this event. Whitehaven made this a fun BOTB
Whitehaven I Love these Tuba RIPS you guys are doing!!! Enjoyed both Arrangements and Bands. Hubba 100!!!
man swd captain is to damn fye wit dem stand routine i got to see her on da field

What is that song called in the beginning played by whs?
Im Was In front of BOTH bands...After 1 Band Played,I walked in front of the other bands..there is no zooming.I walked up to each band as they played.
@Piffy93 actually its not they got red wraps on they maces, nd plus its not the same maces swd uses

@Pzel1 y u dissin dekalb if u from here? nd wat HS did u go 2?
HOW IS THAT SOUND AT 3:08-3:09 created?!?!!

SWD has under 200 and majority of SWD is woodwinds and percussion.
they usually have the same number or less brass as other bands.
Both WHS directors are Alumni of Tennessee State University
I think a few of you don't realize that Whitehaven could not compete in the BOTB because they were the host. SWD was in competition with everyone else. I just keep reading post like we won at your event. They were not allowed to compete.
I was told by staff they left alot back at home due to traveling cost
@KapitolKartoon09 thank u damn i thought it was just me that noticed
Redan Boi!! We yanked on SWD a few times ourselves. No FAMU didnt get blown out by SU. SU had more intensity but it sounded bad. Thats not the case here. Whitehaven doesnt have bad tone quality. SWD tone aint bad either but Whitehaven had more and didnt have phasing problems like SWD. So the verdict is Whitehaven - W SWD - L
No he wasnt! He was about 10 feet from me and WE were on WHS side. If you check all the videos that he has posted he is on the Home team's side!
id like to see whitehaven go up against the 00-04 swd cause swd has gone down alot
can someone expain why mnay bands have so many dancers and flags...i cant be a choreograher for big squads..everyone not on the same level...
Smh everybody is judging the this battle off who is louder and not who is cleaner that is funny because in a battle just because your loud dont mean you sound good. As for as SWD go I heard them be alot and i mean alot cleaner, Whitehaven yall skin sucked to out of tune and the screaming at the end was wack.

pretty good....some people got a little excited on both sides and started playing out of the character of their instrument..but overall pretty damn good
I have noticed that too.
@71196jmg that wasn't whitehaven that was some school next 2 SWD
Yeah I noticed that when I looked at the video again. My bad. But SWD was loud and they were bad enough to come to a Memphis BOTB and win EVERY category except for percussion!
It's funny how everyone that says they are/were better than SWD seem to think so because they were/are louder. Just an observation...
This is the same white haven that was at dekalb jamboree?....impossible lol
both bands did great whitehaven trumpets dissapointed me at the end of skin though
what happened to tha f-horns on you got it dam whitehaven im disappointed
@meat3456 I guess you didn't read fella. You must be one of those people I'm talking about, I didn't say SWD lost. I said the fieldshow portion had nothing to do with WHS.

@str8witdachops got 2 excited lol
@phssu Oh yea FAMU who can I run to is more fuller from start to finish yea Su sounded good on it but I would take that FAMU sound any day.

Give me one song arrangement of SU's that sounds better than FAMU's.
SWD dnt want to see it.
@phssu How in the hell is SU sound complex man sit down with that BS, tell SU to get some tune controll and learn to be dynamic for once them clown don't have any dynamics at all smh if you go listen to the SU then yea back then they was some monsters but now even ol head jukeboxs dont even like the new trash box, Tell SU to get to a super bowl then holla at me.
