Wow ASU is too big to be that bad, they need a new director or something. Southern creased them in their own house.

that BEYOND is always amazing

SU Holy Grail.... the Director was in that Sh!T LMAO!!!! 12:24 Hittin e'm wit the Flex

As always, thanks for the upload Garrett! You are still da man!

How does it feel to get creased in your new Stadium lmaoooo HEY BAMA STATE CAN YOU FEEL ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's all about arrangements SU and JSU are the top 2

Lmao when asu played holy grail and su played it back it was over for asu, su killed it

Dangerously in love is the best song SU played this year #FLAWLESS

DOLLS DOLLS DOLLS!!!!!! So damn SMOOTH!

Bama got some funny sounding arrangements

Garrett your footage is the best!

Su raped asu. On holy grail. No contest!

ASU stunk it up with that "part-time lover"...... smh

Great footage as usual Garrett!

Looks like Christmas is coming early this year because we are going to have a Boombox Classic II at the SWAC Championship game since it appears that JSU and SU have clinched their divisions.

ASU fucked up when they played Holy grail .... lmao

Playing against SU that year was really great they sound great. So did we #Tbone

Man su killed them people, su holy grail smashed theirs, nothing asu played could match beyond, su beyonce song sound much better then lately......asu, jsu and alcorn are distance behind su, now they all have volume but su separate themselves with arrangements, sound and technicality! I haven't heard a band to match su volume, arrangements, sound and technicality!

What was SU 2nd song ?

Southern came to slay.. That arrangement!!! Those Dolls!!

What is the name of the second song southern Played

These Videos don't lie, they accurate. You see and hear what you want to if you are bias.

I am in love with you you set me freeee!!! Ugh I love that song.

What is the the first song SU played?

Worst attempt ever to copy SU version of Holy Grail. What was y'all thinking ASU?!

Looks like it's going to be Jackson State vs. SU in the champion ship. Don't forget about the SWAC battle of the bands after the SWAC Championship game. It's going to be off the chain that weekend in Houston, I think it was a great ide.a to implement a band battle among SWAC bands to attract a larger crowd. This might draw a crowd of about 30,000 or more.

What's The name of the first song ASU played?

Southern killed it like always

Which version of the song played by Alabama State that " Have I Told You I Love You" by Anita Baker or Tyrese @ 14:40? Sounds pretty good though

The song at 18:14 by SU tho it sounds nice!!!!!#beyonce

Dancing Dolls are always amazing and classy. But I have to give it to the Stingettes they are awesome this year.

Is Mr. Oliver still the BD at Bama St.?

Does anyone know the name of the 2nd song SU played (student arrangement)?

That i can't take it by SU tho>>>>>>>>>>>

What was that second song su played??? Nice jam

What was the name of the first song. By SU

is it just me or did su cymbals did some original shit lol I like I like

What was the first song ASU played?

What is the name of the song SU played first?

To say you had to be there is an understatement. I was at the game and the way Alabama State played was breathtaking! They took it to SU and it made me very proud. Each song was delivered with strength and conviction. I was also impressed that they played Holy Grail. When ASU played that song it was strategic and showed no fear. I love their rendition of the song. SU is an incredible band and I give credit where credit is due. Nevertheless, if you were at the game I am sure you would have gotten the same vibe that I did. GREAT JOB ASU!!!!!

Like how the student directs. #swag

Imagine sitting across from Southern getting creased by a student arranger… Geeesshh!

Lol Haymer plays NO GAMES!!!

The last count Keke threw at this game was also the last count Ashley threw at this game last year. What a coincidence though!

SU's Holy Grail is wayyy better. Like you get chills listening to theirs, but ASU Holy Grail dont do that to ya. Ya know?

wat was the first song su played

Didn’t know Brian Simmons was putting that work in back then while still marching!!👀👀👀👀 #WeCUBSimmons👏🏾🔥👏🏾🔥👏🏾🔥

Epic Battle

They knew southern plays the hell outa holy grail, why would they do that to their selves lol

yaaaas

What is the first song su plays?

Only good song song Alabama State played that was good is Memories Back Then, that Holy Grail was straight but that Part Time Lover and Lately was terrible

Dangerously in Love was just overkill

I still Say Kennedy's Part Time Lover was Way better than Alabama's attempt at it..

Good job SU.

Holy Grail did ASU in. Po BumbleBees

they always get the business and leave holy grail to the S

DOLLS WERE READY!!! 11:16 was HOT!!! WE SEE U APRIL!!

I felt bad when ASU decided to play Holy Grail. I knew it wasn't going to end well 😔

Beyond

Everlyn king "I can't take it"

I wouldn't call this a battle . It's more like they're playing what they want and having fun doing so..sure if you want to critique the way they play go for it. Good job to both bands

Both did good

SU Holy Grail can make a Thug Cry haha

SU all day

That shit sounded so terrible when Alabama tried to hold that one note out. Yuck !

Now if you know anything about music and band you know SU won this battle the first song ASU played told the story smh this coming from a UAPB alum that who cares nothing for neither but in this case SU won just that simple....

Southern owns Holy Grail

To my Bama State fam. Notice how whenever we play SU, or even when when we play some other school, SU folks stay commenting on our clips talkn trash. SU folks come out the woodworks to talk trash when we play them, even more so than when they play j-state. Its clear when you you've made another band feel some kind of way after they battle you, lol.

Bama version of Tyrese Lately sounded more like Later lol

One of ASU biggest problem is ppl not knowing music . smh . they hold themselves back

When people start talking about what sounded more "musical", you know they have lost.

Music wise SU got this. Dancing wise ASU Stingettes got this.

Rd. 2 SU

I'm telling you. ASU isn't far from being that band to beat. All of their arrangements have suspect moments that take away from their overall effect. Whether it be continuity, execution, or voicing something iffy sneaks in. If not for that, they would be formidable on another level. When they are on they are on though. I'm slick routing for them with all the improvements they have made over the years.

Rd.1 SU

16:35 ASU.exe has stopped working

I went to SU and crabbed in fall 1992 (S Phi D)...i think ASU is a much improved band....i give mad props to their t-bone section....As a whole ASU gave a better battle than JSU....ijs

ASU sound bad on Lately SMH... The only thing saving them is their trombones and tubas

The safest thing Alabama state should have played as there last song should have been Neck... At 21 😂😂😂😂 #MMH #SSD

at 17:00 it would have been better if it wasnt for that trumpet trinna scream..then it was thin at that..and another thing....if your band gone do that..you shouldnt tell when some one takes a breath and come back in

10 years later, man ASU sounds bad on this. They were all over the place.

Boombox Classic 2!!!! Swac championship

This was a boring 5th but I love the 1st song from SU

Why this video pop up 😂 😔 im mmh all day but this shyt exposed the whole program 😂

Isn't the band director supposed to help them with notes?.. My goodness AU..they were all over

Both bands have their people who love them so everyone will say what they want bashing the other but its clear that both bands were great during this battle. The real battle was with the stingettes and the dolls... My eyes couldn't decifer who really won but the stingettes did do better against the dolls than they did against the JSETTES... The dolls came with some new stuff though that... I want people to stop bashing either band though because they both were good...

I've read most of you guys comments. If you know you bias and love your school too much to be objective then why even post? I didn't attend either one. ASU is in a region where there are large high school programs so they have the capability of have that big sound. However that was as good as it got with them. Messy arrangements, most sections weren't strong as a whole except lower brass, and articulating was dismal. SU has strong musicianship and arrangements however their need to over blow and distort the sound they could create is the only reason it wasn't a complete annihilation. SU won easily. ASU just too sloppy sounding. If they would have been cleaner and more articulate then this discussion would be more debatable.

Why do their dancer's sit down like that? Well SU is top notch..

Rd. 3 SU

Has ASU changed band directors since 2010 or has the talent just dropped off? I ask because the ASU of today doesn't compare to the ASU of 2010, especially the battle between them and SU.

Y'all clearly didn't attend the game. lol Both bands did great.

I can't take it is by who?

Round 1 SU

good battle ill give to su by a slight margin...asu tubas not giving me nothing
