This was definitely The Best Battle to End the 2013 School year and bring in 2014

Talladega went up against Alcorn "Sounds of Dynomite, and Southern " Human Juxebox. Next its Jackson State "Sonic Boom of the South". Cant wait.

TC keep doin yo thang!!!!! I love SU but TC has my interest

They finally went against each other!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!

Talledega has my respect

At Southern most students play four and graduate and go on with there lives. I saw people in Talladega Band who played in Southern band seven or eight years ago. Those are grown men and women competing against kids.

Talledega "get on my level" wow!

This battle is unreal...... wow!!!

S/o to alcorn, valley, and su for giving TC the exposure...i think its real big of these school help another hbcu get its band program off the ground

In person at this battle, T.C. Mellos were louder than the clips. So was SU Baritones. Both bands was beasting.

I never thought I would see the day S.U gets ripped a new one.......BIG ups to Mr. Bonds....you told me you would do it like dat to em 1 day!!

Man it went down in New Orleans today SU did what I thought they'll do blow TC out but TC was on SU hills.thay finally have a band with that New Orleans sound look at style that can give SU a run for thay money for a change. Keep doing your thing TC I hear u

Thank you its working. Hope it stays this way

Sonic Boom Alum.. Southern showed its dominance Round 2!!! 1-1 so far

The breakdown in Stoner was hell

SOUTHERN NEWEST RIVAL!

The HUMAN JUKE BOX with partial crew STILL SOUND SUPERIOR...U HEARD ME? The 2nd Jam Southern blew "The Feds are Watching me" IS SO SICK!

I was there. I'm a die hard SU fan. However TC took the W hands down!!! Win like a man and loose like a man!!!

This guy Nate writes a club banga like it's for a symphony! DAMN!!! #nice

I love TC and Southern, But man, Southern bringing that Fuckin HEAT!!!

Damn good battle.. That's not even su's whole band and they crankin

Yesss!!!!!!!!!! When I say southern did that.. they did that.. and its evident that the other band trying to be like them... everybody know it... get your own style....this coming all the way from ARKANSAS...

They should have said Hey Talladega!!! YOU TRYING TO SOUND LIKE US!!!!

TALLADEGA BTONES MAKE THEIR BAND SON!!!!! THEY ARE THE STRAIGHT UP GLUE IN THEIR POWER!!!!!! WOW!!! -MEAC ARRANGER PMA CHARTER 01 #6

Man 11:40 I ain't heard no mellos do that since da 4 in 01 on velvet rope

SU brought in HS numbers and still blew HEAT... Big ups to TC as well..

At 5:35 I fell out of my office chair !!!!!! SU All Day TOOOOOO MUCH POWER!!!!!!!!

Talladega brought it

omg mellos at 11:40 ouchhhhh

Su mellows att 11:40 smh whew

Thank you band god for allowing this battle. Amen! I bet these kids soaked their lips in carmex/blistex after this one. My goodness!!

When TC gets a football team dey could play SU wen da full band there

Tc tubas sound cleaner in my opinion.

nasty notes in get on my level!!!!

Southern And Alcorn all day

Clearly this isn't SU's whole band!

OK, I'm a S.U. Jukebox Alum, but Talladega is NO SLOUCH!!! Those kids are blowing!!! S.U. Brough the Pain! -Good Job To Both Bands!!!! Well executed battle. 40 yards away from each other? It gets no better. #oftenimitatedneverduplicated

Yes Southern still handled business with just half their band there. Thats not an excuse. Its simply facts. TC has a good band they just started to play boring songs like Billy Ocean and George Michael after around 18 minutes. TC best song was the first one they played. It went downhill after that. SU made their point and left. TC band Director is a Southern man himself so naturally he felt the need to model TC band out of the #1 rated band, thats Southern.

SU bout that drama lol @u betta believe it

By the way both bands were krankin,I kno most of you would give the bias W to SU just because they're SU.but TC is no sleeper

TC started there program a few years ago and battling a band that's been out for years and years now they did a great job, SU step your game up TC should not be no were close to y'all sound just saying.

All the su fans keep sleeping on Talladega because yall almost got dat ass tapped but southern was just a little better, both bands are deep asf

Bust they you know what s.u love u guys

These MF's will never be SWAC material.

DAT BETTER BELIEVE IT!!

F Horns @ 11:40 !!!!! WHOA!!!

Tc sound good but southern ate this round up

Oweeeeee Su 👌💯

I'm A SU fan but to me Talladega and Southern are the top bands they are neck and neck

BEST BATTKE OF THE YEAR

The song Talledega played at 7:30 is "I'm A Stoner"

I agree I think su had a better song selection and they won but give TC a year or two. And I hope these swac bands keep sleeping on these guys cuz they gonna embarrass somebody like they already have before but they are getting better by the performances...

Whats the first song?!?! So beautiful

Southen finally have some real competition TC don't sound bad thay really sound good plus thay have that power that nobody seem to have but SU tell now this will be good battles for years to come watch out for TC don't sleep on them. I HEAR U TC

You see those horns on the left side of the screen for TC? I know you see and hear them and you know what horns they are. Long story short, they were MERKIN!!!!

Hey Talladega. You sound like a HS band. You better believe it. Lol, well played.

LOL Prof Jackson down there chest bumping people in the beginning of Better Believe it!!!!

Dat Feds Watchin!!!!! SU song #2 in vid, holy shizzy.

You can't be a king wearing someone's crown... If matching sound makes them better, then you need to be at TC with them. Chords> Unison

It sounds like they study SU, so they can give them a run for their money. SU should be flattered that they want to be like them. Next time the battle will be with SU's full band.

Did the mellos that up on the end of on my grind ??? That was my first time hearing it

Man look i feel that SU kiiled em hands doiwn !!!!!!?!?!? Big S/O to dem yo frfr

That Z-Ro was crucial

Talladega's b-tones we're bring some pretty serious heat!

Dega's btones are loud. But, who isn't, when you're between 15-20 and recruit heavy from N.O.? Ask BamaSt and JSt. The difference is...Dega's btones sound like 4 different loud btones. SU's sound like one massive btone. That there is the separation

southern 22 trombones x2=44 30 trumpets x2=60 14 mellophones x2=28 14 b-tones x2=28 15 tubas x2=30 6 pics x2=12 6 clarinets x2=12 12 saxes x2=24 I'm pretty sure it was more than half

Talladega b-tones clowning on Su b-tones fr

DAMM that's nice !

This was a great battle and SU waxed their ass.. And I noticed didn't bring their whole band.. If just this half waxed their ass just imagine if the whole band was there.. SMH... Talladega wouldn't even had a chance man especially on Holy Grail.

was that Better believe it ??

Can someone please tell me what was the last song SU played in this clip. Artist & Title..That shit is cold!!

Matter I think that's wen tevin became drum major in 07

Poor Miguel. Lesson learned. Never go up against the school that taught you.

A lot of people pissed off because I think they never would have thought a band that been around for only 2 years could have stood a chance to su. When I was in high school I'll be honest I low key looked up to su but after playing against them I was like is this the su iv been looking up to??!? They wasn't as loud or clean as Talladega.

Talladega loud and they sound good but the arrangements need to be upgraded... SU gets the W because they have the balance of it all in the clips... and don't sleep this is probably SU pep band.. yall know the band gets smaller in the spring but Talladega got something to prove... so they got all accounted with a lot of seasoned players... lets keep these things in mind

What's the name of the 2nd song su played

Not a SU fan but that last song tho was nice

Anybody got the name of the song SU played at 9:26 ?

What is the song that Talladega played at 7:30?

Is it me or do the guys and gals down south make playing look like it hurts? No disrespect but it looks like some of y'all gonna cause some major physical damage to yourselves out there. lol. That said I wish there was more stuff like this up here.

Anybody know the song/artist for the last song SU played? 9:26

SU killed it hands down! Good battle tho

Hbcu bands are diverse. You have your concert style sounding bands like Famu, Bethune, Grambling, and a few others. You have bands that focus on halftime shows. (although in the SWAC that's all but gone with the exception of Grambling and a couple of others). And then you have the power style bands that Southern has made very popular. This is a "bloody" battle between the jukebox, who've inherited the power style as their own, and an upstart TC band trying to upend SU at their own game. I'd say they're certainly doing a good job of imitating SU, but I've yet to see them differentiate themselves as an original style band. Until then they're just yet ANOTHER knockoff southern band SCARED to have their own identity. On another note.....BOTH bands are blowing and TC is holding their own. Lol... Imho

man SU trombones sick!

when i seen SU this year these were my #'s 31 tbones 16 b-tones 16 mellos 22 tubas 38 trumpets an yu say 90% of band in this video really???? smh lol

SU arrangements alone kill TC.

What's SU first song called???

Oh, as someone mentioned...S.U. was missing alot of horn players, but they were still cranking! Imagine if they had the whole Juke squad, it would have been a mass murder.

lol showing them what they did to ASU After halftime last year lol

Comin from a UNbiased person. SU was louder as usual....but they lose control sometimes with it. still sounded good. I liked TCs volume too but they seemed to have a tad bit more control when blowin'. Damn near carbon copy bands though.

6:25 did you here those F-Horns???

Ooo my God after 11:40 it was clearly over

Song at 7 41

Talladega in round 1&2 were so powerful that it seems like they won....but if we grade this like a boxing match I think this battle is a tie...Round 3&4 southern sounded way better and round 5 no band had a clear edge

What was the name of the song TC played at 7:31??

Talladega held there own against the immortals...wasn't sleep nah!...ya heard me....yeaaahhhhhh

Talladega Baritones and Tubas stick out because they ain't got no Trumpets and bones lmao........High School shit. SU All day....real nigga section in a real nigga band..

TC sounds good but nothing they played the whole battle was better than "Beyond". TC puts you in the mind of Bama State lots of volume with below par arrangements. TC only had 2 good arrangements the whole battle 1) Happy & 2) Thuggish Ruggish Bone...... If TC gets better arrangers then they'll definitely be a force to deal with

It's obvious that SU whooped on TC. But TC is on the rise. Once they work out the kinks SU and any other HBCU band better watch out.

TC got smashed by SU
