Regarding the Band Of The Year event, there are some points to be observed, the first and most clear, it was a failure with the public, the second the bands were shrunken or rather cramped in a corner of the stadium, when there was so much empty space for them to be better accommodated, third in a fantastic stadium with so much space, acoustics and resources, they placed the bands on the extreme sides where we know that in covered environments the acoustics don't help. Finally, I don't know what criteria were adopted by the event's judging committee, but I think JSU was better than NCAT. It's my opinion.

I am Brazilian and a musician and I had my musical initiation in the school marching bands in my city, as here in Brazil universities and colleges do not have the culture of keeping marching band activity in their curriculum, I became a conductor before I even graduated in music. My specific instrument is the Trumpet, but my arrangements and adaptations were for all brass sections, I follow and admire your work here on KZfaq and also on Instagram, and I really like the vibrant way in which you analyze and detail the bands' performances whether they are high school students or university students. Finally, I think the universe of American marching bands is fantastic, and for me Jackson State, Southern State and Norfolk State form the current power trio of American university marching bands, as they present power, quality, boldness and mainly transmit emotion through music with their performances. Congratulations on your important work!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’ve never seen a collegiate band RUNNING onto the field to start a show in a judged competition and actually win lol. And I’ve been in band at the DCI level AND have judged marching competitions in the past lol. But learning they had judges who were alumni of a competing school is unethical in every way possible. There’s no way you can trust them to truly be unbiased. It’s all fishy.

@@KBThaBandhead Exactly!!! The competition was originally suppose to be all SWAC & MEAC then they added all HBCU conferences. NCA&T has not a member of an HBCU conference in 2 or 3 years. When I saw they first had them #2 then they moved to #1 in the end. Then when I heard the different categories being judged I knew it was rigged for sure. Each category included things that favored NCA&T. Go back and check out the press conference for this competition which happened on Thursday and hear how they dissed SWAC bands. That further let me know, it didn't matter what JSU did, they were going to give it to A&T.

@March-1-1 6 ай бұрын

As you all can see in the comments............THIS IS THE REASON WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO LET JUDGES REALLY DIG DEEP AND LOOK AT EVERY ASPECT OF WHAT MAKES A CHAMPION WORTHY BAND. The SWAC in general, even if you rep another SWAC band, you all knowingly lie and bash any other band that isnt apart of yalls conference. Basically in yall head "If it ain a SWAC CONFERENCE BAND it automatically makes you a bad band"........... Thats nonsense. A&T has been a champion for years and years without being in the SWAC. Perhaps that's why yall hate them so much.

And I really don’t know why Jsu played on my mama. They have so many other great songs to choose from. Not to mention EVERYBODY plays on my mama. JSU took the L as soon as I heard that. I hate to say it. Too much dead space in innovation on 1st selection.

Not true, JSU don't need to go all out for ncat clearly it's not needed as the commentator stated, ncat should have came harder. Y would he say that when jsu played on my momma. Clearly didn't take much for JSU to put ncat in its place.

CPTKenn83 - I would not put it all on ESPN, but moreso on the prejudices of the judges who adjudicated the matter It is absolutely the truth that were some of old who despised everything concerning the SWAC, but especially SWAC bands. It just feels as though the old hatreds have not died. but desperately want to influence (and that negatively) all the gains that the our HBCU band culture has made. The saying was that if certain had power that they would never give an award to a SWAC band. And here we are...
