They've been battling each other since Fall 2013 you could call this a rivalry actually. Dega took this one

Man I can’t lie. Dega Mellos are special! One of the best sections I’ve ever heard

Man this audio so clear and my goodness talledega

Alcorn dancers are cold blooded with the moves. They fire

I ain’t gone lie they hating in the comments this was a good battle by both bands you can tell they both been in the lab and improved since the fall and btw dega Mello’s creasing folk 😂

Alcorm head dancer bad asf❤❤

This is a battle alcorn can forget about. Dega sounds better every year. They've come a long way

17:31 Mellos handing out free 💨💨sheesh🔥🔥

I’m FW with the GGs🗣️ eye catching as hell 🔥🔥🔥 Also Dega mellos is pushing can’t lie that they stand out the most and Alcorn 8:46 🔥🔥yes sir that’s No Cap Rich & Dangerous also we need Alcorn B Tones to get out that muddy sound I kinda hear it but Dega with the W unfortunately lol

Dega was the cleaner and more powerful band despite size difference

Mellos eating Gs sheeesh 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️

I give TC Dega the W. Mellos and Btones saving the day. Good job Mellos.

Never thought that Alcorn would get humbled by Dega w better intonation 🤷🏾‍♂️😅

The range from t.c mellos is very beautiful with the same energy every time

Dega for the W

Dega was not playing with this battle mane 🔥

Talladegas mellos sound amazing 🤩

Lord dega🔥🔥🔥🔥

If Alcorn digs deep, Alcorn is gonna take dega one of these years soon. I’ll say Alcorns arrangements are just a little more creative and colorful, they genuinely are rocking they need to work on execution of notes and intonation and they will have dega cuz they just as loud 😮‍💨

TC sound clean. Them ignant F horns though sheesh.

I love the GGs , they come with it every time but the sound of Dega tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The difference to me is arrangements Degas tone isn't any better than Alcorns. They are much cleaner than corn and them Mellos 🔥.

ICEE COLD 🥶 K.A.E.T FYTB!!! This the first body 🫣🥶🥶🥶

Goddamn DeGa puttin belt to ass I see 💪🏾💪🏾

Okay Dega!!

Anyone know talladega 2nd song. ? I can’t find it or any of em

Dega handled business 👌🏾

Good battle but Dega with the W.

Anyone know the name of the song deaf played at 6:12 ?

Dega buss that ass ….. like bad it was an ass whippin like dega won this easily … every song!!!

Dega for the dub easy. The arrangements are the epitome of IGNANT. They got stank to the arrangements and it definitely shows. Them damn mellos is 🔥🔥

When are you all traveling back

I didn’t know Alcorn Tubas sounded this solid. 💪🏾 Dega took it but this was a good battle!

Dega Mellos stay eating 💪🏽

What’s the name of Alcorn’s first song?

Both bands sound good. The Euphos was the deciding factor.

9:12 anybody know this song ?

Quality over quantity in the case of this battle😂

Who dat blastin Backstabbers behind alcorn tho? 🤔

Cmon GGs !!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I need the parade footage my brother

Dega🔥🔥

Man how TC half the size of a well known band from Louisiana that shall remain nameless and clearer and more powerful than them

Dega sounds great

It was really difficult judging a winner for this battle.. Dega have very strong Mello and Btone section. Their problem, well i'll say the problem with Most bands is they just don't seem to know how to maneuver and set up their bands based on their strengths and weaknesses. Why the Hell don't these bands who know they don't have a strong trumpet section, refuse to pull their trumpets forward to balance things out?? It's not a crime to do that so your band can have a more balanced sound. Instead of Putting your most powerful sections forward.. I just don't understand why this is not common sense. geez. I'f i had to place my band in the shape of a cross or lowercase "t" for the sake of balance i would do it. Why don't they place their trumpets on the 1st row across, mellos and btones on the 2nd row behind the trumpets and and trombones then tubas on the row behind them. Just an example based on the weak and strong sections of these 2 bands. But i notice most bands sacrifice balance and clarity for power. This traditional set up is perfect for older bands imo that had equally powerful sections. My point is, they shout reorganize their set up based on the specific strengths and weaknesses of their bands.

Was This A Battle Of Who Can Have The Loudest Euphos???

Oh my goodness TC that’s dangerous

ngl alcorn tubas hittin fr

Td need to battle SU - waiting on that one(M4 FHorn 97-00

I think both bands are focusing on volume more than melody .. Like idk what the songs they playing! Just blowing notes and a tuba beat ! No special pcs .. 😊just cranking notes

TC sound good on Water but the arrangement is bland

😂😂😂😂😂😂 LETS GO BAND …Damn Dega 😅

Dega trumpets or drowning

Talladega is just missing arrangements and song selection but kudos to staff for making them lean & mean

TC mellos

I’m disappointed in this battle. Dega took the W. Alcorn baritones sent them down the river🤦🏽‍♂️.

7:03

6:10

These arrangements sounding summer bandish. Collegiate programs should have arrangements that really speak to the best tessitura for each instrument. A lot of these notes are too high and leads to harsh bright sounds from both groups! Proper arrangements like JSU and, from what I heard in Mardi Gras so far, Valley would have fixed the sound of both groups

DEDUCTION BOTH BANDS one is just super loud with no melody can’t tell what song is being played (don’t get me wrong they cranking but that’s it no dynamics) and the other is unbalanced and bricking notes on every song Back to the drawing board 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Mellos from tc 🔥🫡💪🏾

Look Dega. Y’all French horns and baritones sound good. But they just loud. No dynamics. Just blowing over the whole damn band

These comments hilarious 😂

Belt to …

I think it time for alcorn get a new director because all these students arrangements and want to be band directors is not it sorry !!!

Dega with win . Alcorn songs too boring an not really good replies to what’s being played on them

Both bands sound like slop

Just like it was last year.Alcorn euphos doing too damn much with little musicality. And just like last year the directors ( Martin and drew we all know who it is) keep pushing for those songs🙄🙄

I cant take talledega serious lol they were off count messing up and everything

12:10 Percussion needs to go back and listen to the song. That is not Afrobeat!!

This was whack asf! Both bands just shooting notes, no kind of blend or sound quality… just pure ignorance… Aug vs Karr high school battle was 10x better than this!

Neither band won in my opinion. Them notes were everywhere. This is garbage

**ATTENTION***ATTENTION** Mississippi Valley is gonna Smoke Both Of These Bands Soon! Alcorn Out The Gate,🫤Yikes!👎 But Dega's 2nd Song, WTF?🫣👎 This was a TRASHY AZZZ WASTE OF TIME BATTLE! Neither Band Sounded like a COMPLETE UNIT PLAYING TOGETHER. AND THAT IS ALL ON THE DIRECTORS! THE BAND MEMBERS ARE EXECUTING. ITS JUST A SHAME THAT WHAT THEY'RE EXECUTING IS BS!🤬🤬🤬 Both Bands Need Better Songs, and Better Arrangements! (How i SCORE this battle) Dega=C- and AlcornSt.=D+ To Both Bands I Ask: PLEASE DON'T COME BACK TO MY CITY WITH THIS BULLSHXT NEXT YEAR!✌🏿

Dega Sounded No Better Then Alcorn Too Me💯💨

Nice Battle from the College side of things🗣️🫡💯

Both sound bad 😅😅

GG’s 😳😳🔥🔥🔥
