man ii thnkk theyy heldd deyy own man .. bariitone sectiion kept em upp ..!!

Both bands sound good. I like A&M Arrangements. But State trumpets are killin it this year. HATE ME NOW.....OMG!!!! Shout out to State Trumpets.

maybuach music(however you spell it) and hate me now two of the best songs of the year( TO ME)

I agree wit Nickonbtone...all they had were low brass...no uppers...I think we took it

I see a bunch of bias comments on here. Lol! Wow! Lets try and keep it real people. Both bands did a great job. However, A&M was not as balanced as ASU. The baritones were louder than the entire band. Love the Maybach Music by A&M though.Great arrangement! ASU's tuba sec. wasn't packin the usual punch this year. Trumpets and mellos sounded great! Trombones and b-tones were good! And the woodwind always goes to ASU! Good job both bands! ASU was lil stronger though.

Y'all kno we always blow AAMU out cmon now!!! ASU MMH C.R.E.A.M Fall 95' #2 Always imitated but never duplicated...

ain't isht gonna change......we gonna give them the bizness just like we gave to aamu, valley, edward waters, and whoever the hell else asu played this year.

both bands did good to me and a sorry battle hell anything thats not including jsu or su is sorry to ya ll and this is a true hornet talkin tt bbbbbb o and bama state took it to me not only cause thats my school but a & m b tones covered the hole damn band like i said both was good to me big ups to alabama stand up

best comment/observations thiis viideo has gotten .. thank uu siir ..

You can give that arrangement to a high school and it will still beast for the simple fact that EVERYBODY IS PLAYING THE EXACT SAME THING!!!! You all should be called the Mighty Marching Half Note Whole Note Band. That's the only time I feel u.

Hey Let me know when ASU invests in a FOUNDATION for their band.

a&m killin it this year but ASU trumpets the fuckin truth this year do you hear that shit.

god damn yall put these videos on here quick !!! i just got home from bham!!!! tha pregame battle was live as hell!!!

Nas - You Can Hate Me Now

hate me now did it but i definately wanna go to A&M PRONTO

ASU is like twice the size of AAMU sooo of course they will be louder. BUT surprising they weren't TOO MUCH louder!! YES, I admit ASU's sound (loudness) fills the stadium when they play BUT as far as arrangements and sound (quality) AAMU definitely stands out above ASU! SO WHO BAND WON!? Sounded like a tie to me. ASU wins for sound - AAMU wins for quality ! BUT in any 'good' band, i feel quality should come before loudness! CORRECT me if Im wrong ppl! (Im from Montgomery, BUT I attend AAMU)

Im glad yall cleared that up, that would have been gay to bring your alumni to your arch-rival to help out; good sound A&M, state, yall trumpets are beast! A&M got em' with that madeback tho.. SU Fall 96

I hear the piccolos cutting BREEEEEZZE #ASU #MMH #piccs

ASU did their thing as usual...until AAMU came back with Radar! I'm sorry ASU, but that song's arrangement and power really showed y'all that AAMU was comin for blood.

STATE SMASHED THAT ASS......WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! Radar didn't have isht on Hate me now. Maybe next year AAMU! 364 more days until you get another shot at us! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am a Marching Hornet from 1990 and I can honestly say that The Mighty Marching Hornets blew A&M out of Alabama. Dang AS-AS-AS-AS- U!!!!!

What's the name and artist of the 2nd song AAMU played?

dat bo wuz so live wen i walked in diz all u heard state and aamu goin at it

ASU stuntin on AMMU!!!! Love this band!!!

Actually at this distance AAMU didn't get any distorted sound.

AAMU Baby! They don't get enough love. ASU held it down too. Go Both! SWAC!

aamu is underrated and deserve more credit.they just need to reach out and claim it.its rightt in there faces.soon will be in mine

Bama State ran that round...But, AAMU did stay in there...

@jmad1906 lolz i had just listened to southern playin this right before i hear aamu playing it but i gotta give it to aamu i like their arrangement but to be honest im not a asu or aamu fan im a PURPLE MARCHING MACHINE FAN lolz

AAMU run this town was good but i like southerns better them whitehorses killed the song

GREAT BATTLE!

@sjzaford Yo quite honestly I think she killed it. White or not she was working it and keeping up. But aamu still got that battle!

Bama St. gets the L this year. They had MELLOS out the ass. And i'll admit they screamers were 95% accurate the whole night. But where they EXCELLED in upper brass they lacked in lower brass. NO FOUNDATION WHAT SO EVER!! Which is the EXACT opposite of A&M. PLus their arrangements had TOO much stuff goin on at one time and it sounded like confusion across the field. Good Job...Maybe next...State...

Bama's my home and I love both but AAMU's got this one.

Seems that if you have NEVER been to a Magic City Classic then NO ONE can say bad things about it. The MCC is about the 2nd Best Classic I have attended next to the Bayou Classic.....

ii dnt thiinkk ASU was louder .. ii was actuallyy iin the stands at the game .. just about where this viideo iis beiing recorded from .. the E N T ii R E game AAMU's baritone section was crankiing on ASU the entiire tiime .. ASU had some songs that were louder but AAMU came out on top ..!! H A N D z D O W N

Rule #1 If your band doesn't have stamina they don't give other bands "L's" Rule #2 Playing in unison to "blow" is not impressive Rule #3 Not being able to play anything other than Top 40 hits whether they are from 2009 or 1999 is not impressive Rule #4 Avoiding playing runs is a sign of weakness

5:50........OMG b-tones let they nutz hang low!!

NIce!! This was a good battle!. AAMU get the W IMO. State has really cleaned up the sound from last year! still needs work though.

i'm crying my eyes out! my feelings are so hurt. blah blah blah. glad to see you have school pride. rep AS-AS-As-AS-BOOOOOOOOOOOOO all you want. stay in a hornet place and let a bulldog handle this.

ASU tore Y'all butts up! Y'all caught a Stinger in the band department!

Rule # 5... Who told you that your rules matter to us? Rule #6... The crowd at the game thought the total opposit of your rule # 2. Listen to their reactions on the clip. Rule # 7... Read my rule # 5 again. Rule # 8...We are not your band...we play make our own rules. you make yours.

BAMA State wore that ass out

My Hornets beastin!!!!!!! go ASU but A&M rocked that Maybach music though

A&M got the boo boo face on the bridge to hate me now!....A&M: "Man we drove all they way from huntsville to get pounded once again!"

HATE ME NOW kicked they ass...

ASU BLEW THE FUCK OUT OF THE STANDS....LOL

Hold up no alumni marched with state's band at the classic. Imma need for yall people to stop spreading rumors that are not true, thank you.

And yall luck ASU didn't pull out that "When I say Weak, you say Bulldogs"

get that shit aamu. forget what they say. state depend on their size to get them over. most people look at their size and automatically assume they are a good band. i've been to plenty of state games and they are just another band; nothing to write home about.

AS AS AS Mutha Fuckin U Woooo Woooo Woooo!

wait a min state mellos was not weak they was in there 4 the whole game the horn holders was in a&m mello section they got wat 10 and only 5 were playin u couldn't even here them across the field they got no nuts man they should of been way louder.

Bama State all the way "The Place Where Dreams are Made Of!"

um... in high school i was a 3-time all-state player (skill stuff). In college was section leader 2 years. And guess what, I NEVER MAJORED IN MUSIC. So in a music world that makes me average right? And yeah, I know a lot about runs. Secondly, If you think the arrangements at AAMU are top notch ...... then yeah you are in the right band for you, lol. My high school's arrangments are tougher. Now how about you sit back and marinate on that for a while.

@DOLOMITE4LIFE ...........sorry, but thats not true. They are just mature instrumentalist, unlike some colleges using amatuer musicians.

That cymbal section at A&M is definitely ASU sex cymbal inspired..lol! I even noticed the Foy 1 sequence from the cadence we played for the State Farm clip....lol! Lets Go Marching Hornets!

95%??? LOL. I'll give the screamers the first pre-game and maybe the first falf of the 1stqtr. But after that, I guess they must have been on break or something because they were NOT felt. In other words, they have no stamina. I could go on and on about screamin but I want to keep this short and simple.

Hate me now???? AAMU played this in 1999. So ASU stop taking our old shit and leave it in the past. How do I know, I was marching at the time. MMW S/D Fall98

aamu run this town too damn fast lol

uh oh white girl playin the cymbols in ASU band.

correction state only had 15 mellos not 22 get yo facts straight. point is tho Saturaday at the classic a&m mellos was not heard at all so dat is wat i call horn holding. yet again everybody realizes that states mellos was beastin dat day but u but i aint gonna argue its yo opinion.

Whats The Name Of That Song At 4:05 ?

@MadSnareAntics96 jsu played that song?

@nikolasgilmore true!!!!!!!!!!

ASU bagged this battle.. sorry bruhs & sorors!!

@albanybestdrumline i dont remember hearing Southern on this tape..

whole notes!!!!! owwwww!!!!!!

@junior20101000 lol look deep in the swac and just at the cranking

that was one hell of a battle... i think AAMU needs to go back to 4 or 5 drum majors because one person can not keep that much discipline on the practice field!

both bands were good to me but state quads the shit funky funky 444444444 and why ya ll keep sayin state so much bigger they bout the same damn size num nutz

ASU won the battle but wtf is up with both bands arrangements????

@TheNissanbest Maybach music pt 2 by Rick Ross. Ft kanye

AAMU trumpets couldnt be heard nor f horns...... ASU was blowing AAMU back to Huntsville

who is the white girl she is good damn

Dude every1 else on here says state mellos was heard through out the whole game u da only1 dats hatin give credit when credit is do. A&m mellos was non existent through the whole game and i dont hear u talking bout dem. And lets not get on the fanfares state mellos played that were clean and sounded good and beastin at the same time

empire state of mind chord at the beginning is HORRIBLE!!

Good job ASU. Yall sound good but the cymbals ain't blazin'. Work on that ASAP. AAMU sounds boring as hell.

so you admit that our 15 sounded like 22. but your nine sound like 4 lol.

you are funny young dude, think about this; do you think the average person can tell you anything about runs? Go ahead and sit back and marinate on that... also do you think ASU could play our arrangements?

@tubasontop new york by jay-z

ASU arrangements sound better, they have the volumn to back it up. Lets stop hating, we all know that The MMH BRING IT.

AAMU sucked. only thing worth giving props to were the b-tones & t-bones. trumpets & mellows were non-existant. ASU trumpets band was waxn that ass all game. and yeah i was there. "hate me now" and "welcome to new york" took the W in pregame alone. 5th..."Floetry" murdered.

Fam how you going to tell me my Crab Brothers were alumni....I'm right there in the band the Tuba player at the bottom. We all crabbed together and they not alumni....lol

Wasn't much of a battle..... AAMU all the way... wow!!!!

ASU...sorry but that white gurl messsed it up 4 me!!! She was doin it but.... WTF!!!! i was there but i didn't c that ishh!!!

Until State plays more than half and whole notes I’ll go with AAMU

whie gurl killed it LOL

ASU was better... AAMU dont have any trumpets

LOL..damn...

GO BULLDOGS! WAY TO KILL THEM BUGS

hate on state? oh nawl playboi. never do that. abolish the word hate. it is overused and played out...just like state.

You cats are funny.... ASU does not sound better than A&M. The mere idea that they sound better is laughable.

lol

anybody with a musical ear no what time it is with asu..same shit every year. Loud as fuck yes but sloppy as fuck. year in and year out the sloppiest band in the swac. aamu has always sounded way more crisp.

ALABAMA STATE IS OVER RATED WE ALL KNOW AAMU WON DIS ASU IS JUS DAMN LOUD ND AAMU GOT DIS
