The 100 is making Southern’s slip show. Sure, they’re loud (which is what seems to be the litmus in the SWAC), but DASSIT. Musicality matters, and they don’t compare. They have a ways to go before they get to where the 100 is - especially on the field.

FAMU took Southern to school. It sounds like The Hundred came to BR and proceeded to have an impromptu Band Camp.

FAMU for the W, SU has the book but The 100 has the sound. + they’re not even at full size😮

Tie basically. One of the best battles all year long. Haven’t heard SU get that jazzy in a long time. FAMU went in like Leonidas as the band of 300 and proved their point; on a content and mental level. SU is proving the the world it’s not all a blast fest in Baton Rouge… musicianship matters no matter where you go. Great showing from both bands. One takes a win in sheer power with cleanliness; One takes a win in sound fidelity, technicality, and showmanship. Put it all together this the battle we all needed. 🎯

Two great HBCU Marching Bands doing what they do best. Both bands sounded absolutely amazing. SU even showed that all SWAC Bands don't play at the same LOUD level all the time. I even heard some CONTRAST and COLOR. Idk what that last song was that SU performed, but that was fire. Great job both bands!!!!

Thanks for all your footage. Always enjoyed your videos. Great job marching 100. I heard every band instrument. Keep up the great work.🧡💚🐍🐍

Well 100 since y’all brought back “Bag Lady” can i get “Honey” added to the playlist 😭

I wish the 100 had a few more Tubas. Just a few more. But the sound is great!!! Bag Lady........mannnnnnnnn! I can tell Southern is trying to play with a bit more clarity. Of course the W goes to FAMU.

That Heartbreak Hotel was 🔥🔥🔥

FAMULY 🐍; however, gotta love the beauty of these 2 schools and bands. HBCU 🖤🖤🖤

That FAMU Anniversary and SU power 🔥🔥🔥

Bag lady smashed everything but SU Spend my life with you surprised me...awesome battle...HUBBA 💯!!! And I love the way FAMU shows the role of Tubas as the bottom...let's keep on the staff or below please...lol...OSS

Hit em w the Heartbreak 100!!! Often Imitated, never ever duplicated! In all the land, there is only ONE!

You can gain so much more appreciation for the 💯 if you listen to the AAMEA interviews with Lindsey B Sarjeant

Finally an unbiased video, great work

This the best one yet

Da hunnid wearin da juke ass out😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mercy mercy me 🎶 Brass and Tubas kickin.

This is probably the best audio I've heard so far, raw sound.

SU brought it at the end that power sometimes just do some to me lol good job both bands

Famu will be FAM… and Southern will be Southern… Hate I missed it live!!! Thanks for the footage “12!” 😆

Famu on “anniversary” on the bridge they go off!

SU's Extended remix of "Power" get's props.

The last time I heard a good Skin I’m in during the 5th QTR against SU was MBC back in 2000. Excellent song selection FAMU!!! Y’all Skin definitely was in point. One of my favorite HBCU songs….

Bag Lady🔥🔥🔥🔥 FAMU knows the vibes🙌🏾🧡💚🐍

That Heartbreak Hotel was BLOWING!

🐍 for the Fatality

Clash of the titans. They both played their lungs out lol. I’ll give the edge to FAMU, their clarity is incomparable…

This has to be the best audio of this battle by far. Unbiased sound. FAMU is in a rebuilding phase since the incident, but I must say I like the direction Doc Chipman is taking. Adding some sauce to the song book. I must say, that Power song Southern played was a devastating blow though! Sheesh so much vengeance 😂🤣! Great job to both programs. Hubba FAMU 🐍 🐍 🐍! 🎺🎺🎺

I got to admit this is the best sound I heard from Southern they usually sound like hot garbage but they was much cleaner in their sound than normal. Hubba Hundred you guys sound great the repertoire was very tasteful and groovy.

One thing about su…is them trumpets gonna blow

I see the influence FAMU is bringing to the SWAC… Southern wasn’t trying to Blow a gasket trying to be the loudest… they actually had tone. As Joe would say “It seems that coming to FAMU’s Summer Band Camp is finally paying off” #Hubba💯 🐍 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

I respect FAMU's style and tradition. HOWEVER!!! SU just dropped some serious " control, balance and power ".

Both Tubas are airing it out

It's crazy how all the FAMU haters are saying that SU destroyed the 100 and after watching this I can say that is completely false.

Anniversary was the finisher

SU on wizkid and tems “essence” was nice but sounded rushed or something. They had the melody down though

Also SU Tubas & Baritones need to be arrested

Famu sounds good

That skin im in was just showing off. Straight gas😯

HUBBA HUNDRED 🐍🐍🐍🐍

The Hundred dont edit it’s sound 😪

Come through “This Place Hotel”!!!!

Famu, you knew before you arrived in the swac that the tone was different! The swac can bring you power, finesse, spiritual overtone, concert and even rock music and heavey metal! I've heard SU play the Batman theme to guns and roses!

Lol they left out su last song when famu finish & made it like famu played the last song 😂😂😂

Interesting that the camera is directly in front of FAMU band but at an angle from Southern band.

Why did he move so far away from SU on “Mercy Mercy Me”??? To right in front of Fam. SU was still talking though!!!

Never thought FAMU would’ve gotten a male dance line before women. Kinda weird. But they sound amazing! Great 5th by both!

Funny how the camera man is right in front of Famu band , but is o lu catching the side of SU sound. Should have gotten in the middle of the field

No horn holders at famu. @747 heat!!!

What's the name SU playing around 20:20 (last song), it seemed like they played that song for 5 minutes🤣🤣

I LOVED IT THE 100 STARTED OUT WITH "HeartBreak Hotel". A Great Victory For The Rattler's Tonight In Baton Rouge, La. Now Southern What U Have To Say This Year. From The Sound of the 5th Quarter We Won This Too. On Our Next Visit U May Want To Give Us A Better Position Instead Of That End In Your Stadium, Since We Blew U To The Wind Twice In One Evening. An Amazing Eye From The 100 Paparazzi On This 5th Quarter Presentation from Philly...rwc~

Good battle but SU definitely won this battle💯

In 3 years all of SWAC bands are going to be playing balanced. No more screaming.

It’s time to let the world know that FloridaA&M has the most beautiful young ladies in the world let alone the SWAC MEAC OR CADILLAC!!!! For that matter bc if y’all put them flags in front again……SMDH that’s not it, please just put some young ladies out in front to give another wow factor to go with that m100 swagg…. It definitely wouldn’t take away from the music in my opinion it will add to the progress we have made by moving to the SWAC and to keep evolving so why not. It’s time Dr. Chipman they won’t say nothing if you do it. The orange will be brighter and green even tighter 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍💯 Thee I Love…..IJS

Skin I'm In for a 5th quarter whats next Neck? 2005 was a great year and then that song selection would have been on point but fam it's 2021 wake up

Juke that rap tune shows frustration

What happened to FAMU’s first song?

Not that this wasn't a good battle, because it was. Both bands sounded great. But for some reason after watching this battle a couple of time, I just don't feel the energy or excitement with it. Maybe I had to be there. But to me the 2007 and 2011 battle in ATL were to of the best and most exciting battles I've witnessed between these two Titans. Guess I'm living in the past lol.

Is it me or is FAMU medoicure. They are a hair away from being a DCI BAND. Maybe they should go battle Florida state or somebody

Wow, this was def the best 2 band's, I have been waiting all year for this battle to truly see how we handle ourselves in the swac, and we def held ours, and you can tell we came ready for this battle not half stepping, but man It's like SU went and prepared for the 100 as well, I must say and it's hard to say being a true rattler, but su was just a step above, it takes nothing from the 100, best battle in history, both bands made me want more, but I don't think I've heard SU like this before, this was so different for both band's, my only regret is I wander what happened to that Marvin gaye tune they played this summer, that would have been fya to throw after su blew the crap out that Mercy me, I was like please play it, but overall great battle

You got the zero quarter and stand footage

What’s the song at 12:13?

I’m sorry SU didn’t sound that great

The 💯 for the win.

Imma need the 100 to decide if it wants dancers or not. We have some of the most talented female dancers in the country. Why not give them a showcase? Especially if you gonna have the flag core half-assing it. Make a decision already. Either we gone have dancing or we not.

5:21 "they smashed famu"

SU🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ ITS hard to listen to SU band!!!! 🐍🐍 on a mission!

IMO, SU’s drums were out of tune and gave a flat sound, and even though the arrangements were nice, it lacked balance. Every section can’t be loud all the time. Each section of the ‘100’ gave articulation in EVERY song, and played more than whole, half and qtr. notes.

ROUND 1: No winner. It's important to hear the 1st note, and Southern's 1st note was not on this recording. BTW tho, FAMU them FlagMen need to sit they ass down. Nobody needs to see them throw their hips back and forth. Next Callur! ROUND 2: Southern Despite Southern's Marvin Gaye "Mercy Me" needing a lil more work, FAMU's Erykah Badu was a Badon't. It lacked technicality and melody. Very repetitive and lifeless. Too safe for a band battle. ROUND 3: Southern "You don't need no other body" is the song of the year. "Anniversary" especially when it got to the bridge, reminded me of a the 7th grade Wind Ensemble Recital, with the squeeky clarinets, and the tempo problems. I will say the 2nd half sounded better than the 1st. But by then, too little too late. And y'all DRAGGED the ending. Cut that shit off and be about yo Father's business! ROUND 4: Southern Southern. Not bad, but you dragged the ending too, ODEE! FAMU said "AYE" and I felt like Lela Rochon on Waiting to Exhale: "AYYYYE????" Whet? Those Dancers are aggy AF. And that song should've been saved for the next campus Pep Rally. ROUND 5: Southern Southern, that song goes on for about 2hrs too long. I feel like I went into Quarantine, came out, and y'all was still playing that mug. FAMU could've had this one for charity, simply cause I've heard this song by Southern before, but the way the song cut off like the break of a Kit Kat bar, so jaggedly unexpected, it's a trash way to leave a last impression. I can't seem to determine if I hate them men in the front as much as I hate them white pants? OVERALL WINNER: Southern. #TheDifferenceisClear SIDENOTE: IDK if those are the FlagMen of Drummajors. I pray they are not the DrumMajors OMM!

SU with the W

Music is SUBJECTIVE! What’s good to one maybe bad to another! We all have PREFERENCE that doesn’t mean one is better than the other. FAMU: stop with the musicality excuse! Jazz was once thought as “non-musical” because it was unconventional! Just because other bands don’t approach music the way you choose to doesn’t make them less musical. If you want to get to arrangements MOST bands outside your ballads have far more difficult arrangements that require a higher level of execution. “Playing loud” is not unmusical this is a narrative you all need to let go-DCI bands play louder than damn near anyone and they aren’t seen as “non-musical”. It’s a defense mechanism you all use to feel better about not catering to Top 40 and sticking to your style-that’s fine just don’t diminish others for choosing other approaches SWAC Heads: diversity is good! FAMU and BCU are bringing something different. Outside of A&M, PV, UAPB, and sometimes JSU-most SWAC bands fit in the same mold and approach. We aren’t a monolith. No they may not be playing radio hits and centered in rap tunes, but they still do what they do well. They sound good! It’s too appreciated not ridiculed. We all have room at the table and they just bring a different element. While I feel it lacks “personality” their overall goal is a symphonic sound-which to some comes off bland and cookie cutter. SU approach is a brass/jazz band approach. Both are good at what they do Two different styles, two different approaches both with room for improvement and some mistakes but good in the lane they walk. There is no winner here because it will boil down to PREFERENCE.

SU. FAMU doesnt sound good without being it's normal size 300+. There is a lot of holes that normally are filled within their music.

I think FAMU sucks. Every song sounds like it has been sterilized. Stiff & clinical.

Shout out to everyone else that skipped past that HAZ-U intro. Just in case you need to, start at @0:31

Alabama State won every round vs Famu @ their own house & did the same to JSU .. ASU still undefeated..i guess Famu said we can’t be unprepared like that no more and had Su struggling here..I think JSU gone win boombox ( My )list for best band this year: 1# ASU 2# JSU 3# SU 4# FAMU 5# Alcorn

The 100 haven't won a band battle in the swac yet but this wasn't bad at all their song choice arrangements are just unexciting. Their trumpets improved some but they are still really weak in comparison to all of the other trumpet sections (mellos too), I hope they can get that right next year. I was expecting a one sided beatdown like they got from bama state but they actually kept this close. This is the worst Southern has sounded this year, a performance like this against any of the other bands would've got them ran through. 1: FAMU 2: SU 3: FAMU 4: SU 5: SU

This is embarrassing. Su could have played nothing and won this by a landslide smh

Famu is boring! They sound pretty good but the song selections are just Ok. The way they arrange the melody is just Ok. The field show is “Safe” and borrrrring! People respect the history of Famu but the current band is just Ok…
