For some miraculous reason I found it magical when SU played Keysha Cole's "Love." Very beautiful arrangement.

The Way by Jill Scott

Next Lifetime vs. The Way.....classic...

Thanks

ASU 1.Teena Marie-Portuguese Love, 2.Trey Songs-Dive In, 3.The Roots ft Erykah Badu-You Got Me 4.Fat Joe ft Chris Brown- Another Round, 5.Rick James-Mary Jane, 6.Jill Scott-The Way,

the beat go on

the best i ever heared from asu is the game vs SU from 2006 ? they also sang and had awesome sound, su had no chance that day :) but i like the U better :)

How so?

2001!! yes indeed

I ain't gonna lie, I like both bands im from Alabama but didn't go to state but I did play in the band at miles college in Birmingham,but I liked both honestly

I know right SU finally recorded both bands fairly

I have no control if KZfaq sees you as spam and erases your comments

its clear who the better band is,

Asu is a good band, I also watched them battle bcu from da meac n I was impressed until they ran out of songs, this year su trumpets have regained there power back which helps there balance n gives them much betta clarity, so Asu keep yo power n work on clarity, cuz wen yall got 3 or 4 rows of trumpets n dey not being heard...dats a shame keep two rows n switch ur weaker trumpets to f horn ull get a much betta sound until den yall got mo holders Dan blowers

The camera wasn't on SU side, he was in the middle at an angle, he was just zoomed in.

I get my tenor sticks from da music store in da gump called capitol music

On that love song tha tubas on point

DAMN ASU IS DEEP

Man I know yall not peeping the sticking SU smashing on the Keshia Cole song.....OMG Dont sleep on that snare line....

y r people fussing over this ish i mean if u go to the game and hear both bands u know who won the computer hold alot of the sound back J/S..... SU good Bama St good enough said......

Never Satisfied by Good 2 Go

ASU has some horn holders. Band that size in the SWAC should blow the bricks out of the stadium.

Love by Keyshia Cole did it for me 🔥🔥 yaaasss SU!!!

Seaera, she's the current captain she just let the other seniors lead for this game.

Regardless of the criticism, the are young men and women im talking ages 18-22 that are making beautiful music

Naw Ron *in my cleveland brown voice* "Turrible"

were you there in person. there sound was a step up from AAUM's. they sound wasn't even traveling across the field like it usually does

@mybro727 ya we did but it was in da game

Oh wow....Bama State came with it

ASU had better song choices by far. SU has the edge on sound. Who ever arranges SU music is the true beast! If ASU had a better song arranger they would have had the edge in this competition. But ASU had me intrigued all year.

SU played the shit out of erika badu next lifetime im loven it ill be there next year to be in the band comming way from OKC

ASU SOUNDED DAMN GOOD FOR THE CAMERA TO BE ON SU SIDE OR CLOSER TO THEM AND STILL ALMOST MATCH THEY VOLUME, BOTH I CANT GIVE A WIN TO EITHER BAND BECUZ THEY BOTH DID DAMN GOOD JOB AND I HEARD THEY MADE ASU U LEAVE. BUT GOOD BATTLE FROM BOTH BANDS

HOT DAMN!!!!! That was the best I've heard ASU sound EVER!!!! Im a Tuskegee University Alum and a Brother of Kappa Kappa Psi, Spring 92 Zeta Phi Chapter (Bruhzzz) Damn good battle but I must say that Mary Jane had it all in the bag until Southern played that Whiz Khalifa and Erika Badu WHOOOOOO WEEEEEE!! I THANK BOTH BANDS FOR NOT LETTING TRADITION DIE you all are BLOWIN! And I will be Damned if Im not at the next battle even if its on the moon! And thanks to all Bruhs and Sorors!! Do the thang!

Wow..

well i have to give it to alabama but it was a very close match

I haven't heard a good version of Miguel's Adorn by any HBCU band yet...

Last note 3:25 Su trumpets across the field

i think it's the quarter notes the trombones play in Adorn that make me not like it...

Mary Jane sound so groovy!! Good job drumline!!

Best 5th this year

This is the best two bands in the SWAC but based on Next lifetime vs. The Way it was a tie I can't choose and I'm a SU fan...GREAT BATTLE BOTH BANDS!!!

Man look we had to leave cuz we was off schedule southern aint make us leave an dats on god

su is fucking BEAST!

I have said this on a few other vids but it keeps holding true. ASU has come a long way. They may be the most improved program over the last 10 years. They are continuing to grow and develop a definitive sound. Love 'em or hate 'em they are heading in the right direction. I realize that SU & JSU have been at the top of SWAC favorites list for a while but at the rate ASU is growing in popular, quality, and size one of the two previously mentioned program may have to take a back seat soon.

Damn!!! And it only took 11 years to finally play the whole version of "This Is The Way" on us

No the hell they didn't some of the horns playing all off key and sounding a hot mess at times, so how did they win??? #teamsuallday

1:50 Never Satisfied and 6:21 Love

Both bands succeded in what they were doing.. YOUR NOT FUCKING WITH ASU when it comes to SLOW SONGS! While YOUR NOT FUCKING WITH SU WHEN IT COMES TO FAST SONGS!!! Either way with that being said... The Stingettes had a full course meal this battle! DAMN THAT WAS A NASTY DANCE BATTLE!!!

Su killed that Badu!!

I'm old school SU and they got the battle by far. Cleaner more power with good attacks. ASU is very good and I give them major PROPS on THE WAY best song of the game. ASU is coming along but got a lot to learn before they can be compared to or get in the same class as the mighty SU.

Ima say this southern just knows what songs to play against their opponents that's it just being honest coming from a pv bandsmen

This was a good battle. They both did well, in my book.

Please tell me how i'm standing in front of SU????? I'm clearly on the 40 yard line away from SU. ASU is the only band facing the camera. SU is playing straight across the field from themselves sir. Please open your eyes. They never turned toward ASU at all. I am in the middle of the field on the 40 yard line in between both bands.

to lead and look like they are the captain is phenomenal! Great battle,. Great job,. Give probs when probs are due and both bands did there thing!

You forgot to add " In my opinion" to your response.

You Got Me

it would be rodondent to say SU sounds good.....but ALABAMA STATE sounds really good......i heard dynamics, range and key changes during the songs. and nobody CRANKIN IT UP UNTIL.....su 25:44. good job both bands

the old SU was not there this year. nobody's fault. just wasn't there this year

Next Lifetime

lol thats Portuguese love by tina marie smh..but um this 5th went longer than I expected

I know ASU first song is portugese love by Teena Marie. I only know that cause we played it at TnSU. Which I do think has a better version, but bias-ness could be a reason

WORKKKKK!!!

The commentary @ 12:29 sums up the results of this battle...lol

We did good tenors crankin leggo state

Sang The way State

Portuguese Love was turrible...

Let's be real ASU came and they ATE

is the first song that is played an actuall song? or is that just the bands music they created cuz it sounds so familiar

Man I hate judging 5th Quarters in SU stadium. ASU was bringing it, however because of the way the bands are set up in the stands its kind of hard to tell whether or not SU was bringing the same kind of stank, even though conventional wisdom says they were--they probably were bringing more heat. On top of that it doesn't help that SU always faces forward instead of the opponent. But ASU was bringing some serious heat. Gotta give it to ASU based on this video.

Shit Nah Southern!!! That's what the hell I'm talking about. As always the band was on point and them sexy ass dolls

Hold Up ASU Brought my fucking song back at 9:15

ASU was sounding good on "THe Way" unitl them Mellos came in sounding horrible.

Omgg what ever happened to this ASU?

SU sounds a whole lot better.Asu was loud but there songs are junior high where su is playing songs that are way more difficult to play and sound good.

Not a bad battle at all. though my only ?s are will JSU and TXSU continue to regress in size

Good Battle , SU Won w/ "Work Hard Play Hard"

no zero qt battle?

I appreciate the footage Edge. Great Job!

Because SWAC bands focus on brass, their piccolos sound badddddddddddddd. They should definitely tune them before they get any type of solo in songs. Anyway, I love ASU, but SU took it all the way.

it WAS A TIE.. BUT ASU DID WELL . CAUSE SOUTHERN A BEAST.. BUT ASU WAS BIGGER .. BUT LIKE I SAID TIE..

I'm not gone Arnie

NOTHING SAID BUT I AM " NEVER SATISFIED" My GODDDDDDDDDD!!!!!

ador by miguel

Whats the name of the 1st song Southern played during this 5th quarter.

GRRITTS!

what's the name of the last selection ASU played?

"Is it the Way," was the best song played that night. Good job Asu!!

OMG SU TUBAS IS KILLIN IT

22:44 Casey’s LEGENDARY lead. She tore that song apart!

They brought you got me back!!!!

Asu improved but su wins

whats the name of the first song Su played

Did that kat say Bama State has one of the best arrangers?

This band is no macth for SU and im not from either school...

This was jus one of those battles were u just had to be there in person to see it... Videos do neither one of these bands justice at all smh both are great bands its just whatever you prefer honestly... And that where have you been sounded much better in person from SU... Welp till next year when this battle is in Alabama

When Southern Played "Next Lifetime" it was so beautiful!!!

@Snatcha BCU only had to teach 1\4 of their band new music when the played Asu for their first game. ASU played new and up to date songs, unlike redundant a** BCU.

The tubas sound amazing.. caint wait till I get to college.

Jaguar Pride!! Both sides Put on.. Killt it on da Badu an J.Scott doe!!

The chords at the end of work hard sound amazing. And next lifetime is a classic
