Is VanillaFunk aka Justin Heidemann now a DM? If he is, OMG!!! I get Brianni & Justin to follow all year. I watched them perform at their high schools & now they're both leading the MMH Band in different ways.

They need to surround the band around the stingettes like they did last year when marching out

“TO THE SKY!” “We don’t do that here” 😭😭😭

I had to pause the video to say this: That’s a damn shame that these spectators act like zoo animals and become disrespectful of the band’s space. I don’t give a damn how much you love and want to see them. It becomes absolutely disgusting to distract their performance. They damn near knocked the poor girl on the right arm off while she was standing at attention. We can’t have nothing these days … Other than this the girls look amazing and did amazing.

Briani's body is insane!!! Good lawwd!! The entire team bodies are snatched.

The crowd is more concerned about recording for their social media accounts than respecting the experience!!

Kudos to the girls executing the March out and those sequences under pressure with this crowd. I got damn anxiety watching this video. And then y’all wonder why the band surrounds the girls. Like damnnnnnnnnn. GET BACK! In my Luda voice. Other than that, that damn sequence at 9:10. We’ve seen so many times but damn Bri’s squad does it so coldddd ❄️ They look so damn good

Bri literally has an entire team SWINGING behind her…. It’s her time , legendary!!

The ladies did amazing under so much pressure and so many people surrounding them! Kudos to them for holding posture as well as S/O to the DM stepping up to keep them spaced from the large crowds. I understand these ladies have thousands of supporters, but as supporters we have to give these ladies room while they are performing.

Drummajor coordinator is very protective of the girls and I'm here for it. There needs to be some barricades.

I’m so here for this the only thing that’s irritating is all of these people all up on them. Back up!!!! Give them room to dance!! Besides we are still In a pandemic lets not forget

They need police escorts for home games. The hysteria is intoxicating yet dangerous.

I can understand the yelling from the crowd this time, because babyyyyyyyyyyyy, they did the damn thing tonight. Captain Bri showed tf out. She has such a presence, you have to look at her. I'am so happy for the Stingettes, they had a hell of a first performance tonight. Thanks for the coverage Showtime.

One thing I hate about the marches is the fans. 🗣 move tf back

An Applause to Brianni and the team 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The uniforms are beautiful and the makeup: ❤️Haven’t seen a crowd like this since Janae; double. YAYY Justin

I think because I was in band, I respect the space they need to march forward. Y'all please give these students some space so they can have room to march out and not have to worry about hitting some one for being too close. Now if somebody gets hit with a flag or drum major mace, they gonna be mad LOL smh

Man...I know the fans are excited but DAMNNNN BACK TF UP lol

PRINCESS AND VANILLAFUNK😍😍😍

That crowd is overwhelming whew but the girls TURNT IT OUT!!!!!

Come on Justin! March baby! Brianni..sting through!

My anxiety would be so high having ppl crowd over my personal space like that. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Stings start leaving the games before the band just for their own peace and safety. We love to support the girls but let’s give them their space yall. This was tooooo invasive for me.

the band sound good, the stingettes look fab as usual 😩 this is going to be a good ass year.

They need to start fining these people $500 or more for violating these girls personal space. The girls were literally hitting each other to keep from hitting the fans.

This sent my anxiety through the roof. OMG

S/o to the flag girl in the front for stopping the guy from walking through her band @0:56👏🏾👏🏾 that’s rule #1.

It's time for the Stingettes to have their own security! I get it because they are the hottest dance team out here. I been following Bri since she was a Sophomore at MCK. These super fans are something serious. These ladies looks AMAZING!!!!

The stingette coordinator is dressed!

Just wait one min is that my boyy V-Funk as drum major now

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the band should surround the girls while marching again. The crowd is too much. I felt claustrophobic watching that.

Omfg this is such an entire squad I mean they’re on Brianni like white on rice literally catching every single count! Whoaaa they look like a swarm of bees literally!

Wow so excited to see justin he is amazing this crowd though dam give them some space people

The fact that the band director has more security than the dancers don’t sit well with me.

They should do what they did in the spring and have the band form a barricade between the girls and the crowd because this is crazy

People please, I know some of you present are reading the comments, For the love of God, SHOW SOME RESPECT AND GIVE THEM ROOM TO BREATH!! And wonder why O acts the way he does. It's ok to show support. I'm sure he'll create another barricade and I don't blame him. If the Coordinator(s) could please do more to protect your girls than to just walk..

It’s Bri’s world baby!

I like that walk where they swing both hands down low at the same time. its unique

People were upset about the band surrounding them in the Spring but this is the exact reason why, I hope next game they do that because I’m legit worried for these ladies.

O said they going straight in the band hall y’all ain’t seeing them nomo tonight😂😂😂😂

Girls did great, beautiful young women, crowd really pissed me off

*🤬THE CROWD JUST DOES IT FOR ME GET OUT THE WAY🤬*

Lol I love the energy. I hope they keep it when this is marked a super-spreader event… Otherwise the girls looked awesome. The hair is giving Asia. The uni gave me Keke. The dramatics gave me Yasmine. The layouts gave me Janae. Essentially Bri is the next avatar!

They slayed to the Gods....custome on point... beautiful ladies

They gave y’all a chance to act right and you just can’t. Don’t be upset when you see the barricade next week.

Thank you showtime web for this. I needed this fix.

I really hope Bri takes this opportunity to become more than just a majorette legend but to travel the world, give back to communities, spread positivity and invest all of this stardom energy into building her own legacy and not get caught up in the hype.. she has such a sweet soul and I think she's a perfect example of what the world "especially little black girls" need at this moment. So proud of the Stingettes !! It's a movement.. 👑💖

The ‘fans’ are acting like a cult. Why can’t they seem to be at a distance. This is so dangerous!!!!

Stingettes ate today with no hesitations.

One word " Crowd Control" protect the girl's/ band!!

With this being the first the crowd just blew it for everybody bc they wouldn’t move out they freaking way thanks rude folks if y’all know dr o and what they did last year just know the band will be around them next game

I love and hate watching these videos. These young women get consistently treated like they are at a zoo. It does not take all that.

Brianni brought the mf people out sheeesshhh! Let her breathe y’all lol.

Why don't they get a group of several people on each side, each group holding a ribbon spaced-out the length of the Stingettes to create a literal physical line barrier?

AKAI’s anxiety would’ve been through the roof🥴. This was a lot to process with the spectators

I miss daija 😩

That layout at 4:51….. sheesh

Yessss Bri bring the girls in!!!! I'm so happy Princess chose ASU. This season will be 🔥🔥🔥

I enjoyed Bri and the girls so glad Justin is a DM but that crowd is sickening I think they are going to execute the same strategy last year when the Brass section covered the girls. They almost knocked over that little security guard

Y’all princess (former Atlanta dancing doll captain) is now on stingettes if y’all haven’t seen her yet!!

Brianni😍😍😍😍I SEE A LEGENDARY SQUAD IN THE MAKING RIGHT HERE !!!

HBCU grad here and your ladies are beautiful.

Why y’all continue to always get into they way knowing how the staff feel about this. Like be considerate and give them some room so it would be less stress on the staff and the band. I’m not trying to have a repeat of last season when they had to have the band shielding the Stings🤦🏾‍♂️

Great to see VanillaFunk! However, those women behind him are AMAZING!!!!

Brianni got some walkers behind her too. I love a good strut!!

Okay SPECTATORS! Give them "SPACE" to spread out during the entire March Out so you can see your FAVS in action. They should probably recruit the pep squad (street team/sqaud) to form a border.

They look so good.

Nice work Showtime !

This is team is so polished!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My goodness! They need to start using ropes to keep the fans out the way, this is insane!

I have become obsessed with these videos, especially The Stingettes. I appreciate how each school is different. Up north we do not have anything like this that I'm aware of. But I am curious now as to the job of the D.Majors. I like how they split up to help the ladies. This is first time I've ever seen the need to do it. So impressive!

The crowd too damn close!!!!

So cool ASU band march in and out SWING ☝️🔥🔥🔥👍🤘🔊🎶

I’m here for Justin…👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Yeah they need to bring back the band barricade from the spring bc all these hot ass folks doing too much

Brianni keeps it so classy. I’m really enjoying watching this band. I followed Justin here and now am enamored with the stingettes. I’ve gone back and watched past years to compare and this is by far the best crew led by a classy young woman.

Can hear you all the way up North.. and it sho sound good!

The anxiety has to be shameful. Give them room.. This is so disrespectful and disturbing just to watch. We need to better format protecting our kids.

Give them the space they need folks!

The confidence 🔥13:57🔥 They have got to get crowd control. This is unsafe on a number of levels. And Alabama is a hotbed of covid with full, overworked hospitals.

My boy Justin aka John to the sky a DM at a HBCU gotta love it an bri captain it don’t get o better

It's crazy they still haven't gotten their crowd straight or found a solution after all these years.

It would be nice if the spectators got the hell out of the way!

9:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the way she did like you better get out my way.

Great video!

I got a damn headache just watching the crowd surround them like this. I was so nervous for the band. I loved it when the band surrounded the Stingettes. He need to do that again this year. Smh. We all love the band but give them their space. PLEASE!!

oh shattt is that vanilla funk

AWESOME!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

It’s gonna get to a point that the girls won’t March out with the band

Omg give them some space Jesus

One time in the summer I tried to hold a drum major's stick 😂 He said when I finished my 2/5 he'd tell me what it's called

Go Justin!

ok princess

😍😍🐝🐝

I think it's ridiculous that the police officer is always by the side of the band director when it's the Stingettes who need more protection. Ain't nobody trying to get next to him...🙄

What gone happen is dr.O gone put the trombone session beside the girls bcuz they dtm

I'm not feeling this crowd doing the most, even pre pandemic, they are just too close. It wasn't ideal for us the viewer but the band needs to surround them again...

I get that they are excited but they have to backup.

The fact that they needed the DM to move back to create space around the girls is ridiculous. What are all those people in white shirt and badges doing . Instead being in front they are supposed to be on the side

Is that boy Jason from Jefferson High?

Protect the ladies please, more security or barrier. Crowds don't know how to keep boundaries

Y’all have got to let these girls BREATHE! Geez, then y’all get mad at Dr. O for barricading them. Stay y’all funky ass out the way and let them girls DANCE.
