I think its a pissing contest between directors. Somewhere along the line, one of the band didn't play to the home side and the other followed suit the next year. I dont think Tenn. State plays to the home side when JSU is the home team.

Tennessee State don't. BOTH bands play to their home crowds.

Another question for JSU, why did you'll perform to the visitor?s side of the stadium, performing with your backs to the camera sounded like sh@t?

There were more people on the visitors side. Doc would have heard it all night if he would have performed to the home side and not the JSU side.

It's a classic, so it's a little different than going to someone's stadium. Although at any away game when JSU fans are in that large number i.e. sometimes when we go to Gram. He is going to perform to our crowd and say fugg whoever.
 
I've always believed that if you're going to be on NATIONAL TV, then you perform to which ever side the CAMERMAN is on!!!!

I think it looks tacky to have the band on TV with their backs turned, no matter how good they sounded or whatever. Grown folks (Liddell) should've known better...

But the question I've got (for us) is this: if you've got TWO WEEKS to prepare for a show, why in the H-E-double hockey sticks do you insist on doing the same ole boring arze show (you did two weeks ago)??? I hate seeing the Boom drill off Get Ready and that ol skool medley crap....

The SHC is a matchup of two of the Top bands in all of HBCU bandom, and what did we get Saturday night?? We got Kixie 107's greatest hits......

The Crats play more old school than the law should allow.. Yeah, I like it and they sounded hella good, but none of the youngsters knew what da ***** they were playing... And the Boom was no better. Song selection KILLS us in the 5th... It would've been nice was if both bands played marches when the fireworks were going off...

I was not impressed with this year's SHC band battle...

Nobody got the 'W' if ya ask me.....

:smh:
 
What happened to Dr. Jimmy James??? I was ready to fine tune my sensory apparatus and listen to the quintescence of contemporary sounds and maneuvers, the summa cum laude of bands . . .
 
Doc James is in Intensive Care right now, he had surgery and he is recovering......


In fact, he is trying to do work in the hospital bed

i still wanna know y it didnt come on tv..........

It did come on TV. It was on Fox Sports, I think.

And I agree with T-Made, I wish the BOOM had done a new show considering the time they had to put into it. That's why I gave TnSU the "W" on the halftime show--- from what I saw on TV.

Tired of it, too.

Yep, it's tacky. I gave TnSU the "L" for stuffin' those big girls pants with pillows or whatever that was.

And IMO, it's time for Liddell to step down....granted, he's done some good things with the boom....they sound great, but the drills and same ol' music arrangements.......it's just old news. Where's Dowell Taylor when you need him.

It's kinda like the baby tigers. It will continue to get used until it really runs it's course. A few people may be tired of it, but the crowds still go wild. The Memphis crowd went crazy.

I think some of yall just forget that not everybody has seen these shows as many times as we have and it is exciting to them. To the diehards who are always there it's kinda like watching the Harlem Globetrotters do the same tricks all the time. It may be boring for those who see them all the time but to a crowd that sees them once or twice a year, it's still exciting.

That actually was not the same identical show as the first game. They added a entire drill, although an old one, and changed an a good bit of the dance routine, also adding the big boi skit, which we, as people who see all the shows, may be tired of, but the Memphis crowd went bonkers. Bottom line, it worked.

Brand new shows are risky. In a game as large as the SHC, I can't blame a director with going with "old faithfuls" to get the crowd into their show. The show may have been boring to us who see the Boom every week, but the crowd loved it. That show that I saw Saturday was a well executed, almost flawless performance, execution wise, and the Boom has possibly the best sound that they have had in a very long time. Not many old school Boom's, including D. Taylor's Booms would fair well sitting across from this edition. The marching has also improved greatly since last year.

Truthfully, D. Taylor's bands did a lot of repeating shows too, all director's do. I have a mid 80s tape, either '86 or '87, and those fools did the same show the entire year, with very little dance routine changes. Some of us seem to have selective memory, lol!

As far as performing to the home crowd versus your crowd/ direction of the TV versus home crowd, that's totally a preference. Myself I prefer performing to your home crowd, your shows go over better to your crowd because they are geared to your crowd. I personally think pleasing your crowd is more important than playing to the home crowd, just for the cameras. But that's just my opinion.

The Boom performed well on Saturday, even TSUs people at the game were bowing down. To us it was an ordinary performance because we see them all the time, to the people at the game, they had by far, from beginning to end the better halftime show. A completely new show would have been nice but may not have gone over as well as this "retread" show did for the people at the game.

With all that said I do hope to see a new, or mostly new show for Valley.

Yeah but Jaydog, I live in Dallas and don't see the shows every week and still seems like the same music over and over again. can't say much about the drills because I don't see those as often....but can we get somebody in there to write/arrange some more music. Seems like the selection is small.
 
Dallastiger, do we know you? Did you march? What's your first name and what year did you come to JSU?

Yeah, I marched in the band at Callaway. I LOVE the Boom....always have....used to imitate 'em in the front yard when I was around when my brother was in the boom. He was there around 79ish. friends of mine are Kevin Gentry, James Wesby, Dewayne Williams to name a few that marched.

I sometimes get a little too critical since even though I didn't march. Just love 'em though.
