TnSU vs JxSU (S.H.C.)


Mr. Phreeze

Mr. Phreeze

Phrozen Cold
JxSU came into ther game as usual with "Get Ready." It was tight. TnSU marched in. At the kick off, JxSU played "Get Ready" and TnSU tried to play "Gettin' It On" but JxSU was still handling business off "Get Ready". Once JxSU was finished, TnSU played it again and everybody shocked. We thought that it was going to stronger, they disappointed us. Pretty after that, they played maybe one or two songs in the 1st and 2nd quarter. Each school's Tubas battled and TnSU's-18 out did JxSU's-23. JxSU's Tubas was humpin', TnSU's was digging a hole in JxSU's behind.

The first half belongs to JxSU all the way.

Halftime, JxSU pretty much did what they usually do, but it was exciting. TnSU's halftime show was boring. I understand the tribute Dr. Hefner, but the overall show was boring.

Halftime belongs to JxSU.

3rd Quarter, the Trombones battled and JxSU Trombones gave them the business. I'm glad that TnSU went back to the long Trombones, but they still didn't serve any justice, casue JxSU Bones were on fire.

3rd Quarter belongs to JxSU.

4th Quarter, TnSU was trying to fight back with a little more, but it wasn't strong enough. This was the quarter when both teams kept scoring back and forth, so basically the two bands were spirit groups. The songs they were playing were crowd pleasing and getting their teams fired up.

4th Quarter was tie, by a short margin.

The 5th Quarter was ALL JxSU. TnSU was trying to out play them and JxSU was out powering them. They both pick some great selections to play, but JxSU had to TnSU know that even tho their football team won, their band is was them who's running things. I enjoyed this 5th quarter.

5th Quarter belongs to JxSU ALL the way!!!!
 
I wasn't at the game and watched it on BET.
And the BOOM sounded great!!!!!!!! Nice sound with power... and the cameras were showing the band from the back!
That "Toxic" is dangerous!!! :nod:

TnSu was cool, but their sound didn't match the Boom. I will say this though: Their show was more entertaining than what I've seen in the past.

Both bands looked good on the field! :tup:
 



Just My Opinion,

I watched the halftime shows on BET. Jackson State's half time show was sooo predictable. I remember some of the same songs ("Ms.Jones") from last year and the dance routine had similar moves from last year. Does JSU ever learn anything new or do they just try to perfect what they already know. I am ready for something new from the so called "BOOM".

TSU half time show was ok. I liked Brandy's song that TSU played.
It was not just absolutely "boring" like an earlier post put it.

Yeah JSU's show probably had more power and sound but it was soooo "the usual". Do something different.

Spoken like an Alcornite. :D j/k

I would like to see something new, too.
But Dr. Liddell is the DOB...

But I was glad to see how good they looked and especially sounded. I can't say the same for Alcorn...
 
JSU's show was probably predictable and somewhat repetitive to most, but you can blame the members for that.... they can only do what the director orders! Regardless of what you have seen before, I saw the tape and I think that they executed well and overall put on a very good show--a very good mix of the old-skool, new school and traditional with the "Rock da house" at the end(to to really get their fans into it)! The thing I like about JSU is unlike many of the bands in the conference, they sound good while playing with lots of power!

TnSU--when it comes to them, I'm strictly a fan of them when they are in the stands, beacuse win or lose they will continue to jam in the stands until you stop them---and they sound good while doing it! I see TnSU at least once a year (most during the ATL classic) and there shows are always missing excitment, including the one I saw at the SHC last night! Their drills are usually well executed, but there was something about one of them last night that just didn't look right! I'll always love them in the stands--can't wait to see you in ATL 'Crats!

Hey Critter!!!!

Guess what Head Band Diector decided to play to the JSU side (for halftime) INSTEAD of playing the Home side (where the cameras were)..... :rolleyes:

That was tacky to me. You're on National Television (even though it is sorry-arse BET), and you play to the 'other' side...... I taped the BET halftime, and watched it today. And as good as it sounded on TV, it would've sounded 100% stronger had the band actually been FACING THE CAMERAS.......

I blame Liddell for that one.....


But the Boom got in dat azz....... :tup::tup:
 
This is not Smack Taylor but this was not JSU HOME game...... Last Time the Band played in 02 in the New Orleans Dome and face SU crowd and BET and they made the show look very Boring.......... Our Fans need to see the Show which is Design for them not for BET nor for Tnsu Fans........


I was at the Game and I am very pleased that Now Doc is starting to listen to his FANS.

WTF you think JSU fans will say if they Faced TNSU, WE paid $20.00 or more for a game ticket to see OUR MARCHING BAND FOR halftime........ no it was not tacky, If BET is very Interested in the Marching Bands its does not take a dime to turn your cameras to the Opposite side of the Field they do this for the Football TEAM.

back to the TOPIC, I sat on Tnsu side the entire GAME and They wanted to play everything JSU played now that is a bunch of crap(crat). If you are going to play a song that another band play please make sure you know your version and its better than the other bands version or else play something else. This is becoming Every YEar for Tenn st/Valley/Alcorn. I dont know why!!!!! Some of the bands play at least 5 of the same songs each band plays. You will never see JSU play the same song a band play unless their arrangement is not up to par. 9 times out 10 we not going to come back and play the same selection after another band.

Tenn St, I'm not trying to take anything away from your band but you did not measure up to the Sonic Boom on Saturday and you are not as ready than you were in 03............... Tenn State was leaving on a March being played by JSU then following the march JSU crunk up under pressure and they ran back in the stands as if they were about to play a SONG and played a Dam Fanfare just so their last note could be LOUD***** not thats Cheap****** and the BOOM gave you what you deserved a L.
 
Well I'm not one that will give props at any old thing, but I must admit, the Boom played the stank out of 'Ms Jones'!

Being an old school Boom member(81-84), I listen with a more critical ear than the novice person. And I haven't been too impressed with previous years(Liddell era) because the rap song hooks are not considered music to me :tdown:

But I give you guys two :tup: :tup: on your balanced sound with the 'Ms Jones' score. Ya'll rocked that one. I was like....:eek: :jump:

Now that's music and you all need to inform Liddell that the fans enjoyed it and don't fix it if it ain't BROKE!!

Keep up the good work and the balanced sound and we'll start sticking around at halftime instead of going to the bathroom.....:lol: :smug2:


BTW, who wrote that piece?
 
My two Cents:

I thought Jackson State was bringing the heat!

They sounded great. Don't know the name of the J-Cette tune, but it was like ****, when I heard the trumpets. I can only imagine how it sounded in person. I listened for one part on Ms. Jones. Baritones.

I thought Jackson State was outstanding. No complaints. I'll be able to give a more righteous grade in October, but from what I could see on Saturday, it is going to be another good year on Lynch Street.

My neighbor was at my house with her two sons. Die hard SU fans. When the half time came on one of them said, "man, who is that". I replied, "you will see it on October 16."
 
Ah....if JSU is always so repetitive and not original, that makes it even more a shame that they continue to kill your little bands week in and week out.

That's like an army getting information of exactly what the enemy is gonna do and still getting they arse BEAT. lmao....fact is most of you will never be on JSU's level...and you won't ever understand why. lol.
 
Well said folk!

But I must say this, I was kind of shocked as I viewd the half time on BET, and I was like what. Parts of the show did put me to sleep. :sleeping: Although Toxic was off the chains, well it could have been better than that and so could the J-Sette performance. I was not that impressed at all, but the sound was good though. You were there first more than likely; therefore, I know you know what was going on. But the shows could change some and that is real. I mean, I would never suggest changing Blowing or anything like, somethings are just tradition and if its' not broke then don't try to fix it, but man the shows could use some more creativity. But I know that it is all Doc's doing. But JSU did rock all over TnSU if you ask me personally.

What are you talking about? The BOOM's show was shown from the BACK!! There was only a short glance or two on the J-settes. They didn't show the J-settes' performance enough AT ALL for anybody to determine whether their performance was good or not! Only those who were actually at the game can really make an observation and form an opinion. :smh:

Well What song did they perform to, and how was it? What did they wear? The Settes just aint the same, but I know they were better than the Sophisticated Ladies.
 
This is the danger of basis stuff off some sh*t you saw on TV. lol. The BOOM's show was filmed from the back because Doc did not perform to TSU's side...which was the home side....He never does....he performs to OUR crowd.

Has anyone asked Liddell, why JSU's band perform to the visitor's side? BET is seen nationwide and can be used as a recruiting tool. If the band is performing with their backs to the camera, there is nothing to showcase.

You call it the usual, we call it tradition. I just find it curious to base something off of BET coverage. I too saw BET's coverage. Most of the show was chopped up and focused on one or two people. It didn't even show the big boy routine. I didn't even know it happened until I was told after the game. But I will say if you are tired of the seeing what their doing, maybe you need to stop watching them so much. Their performances are not geared to one person who might have seen their show. Most of the crowd, even some JSU fans in attendance, only see them once a year, at the SHC. So yeah, they do traditional shows at the SHC. Very predictable, but effective. Tiger Run on - crowd loves it; big JSU - crowd loves it; whatever oldie slow song - crowd sings along; J-Sette routine - crowd likes it; and a dance routine featuring some type of Memphis music - crowd usually catches it. In short, if you are tired of what you see...........................stop watching.

It's because most of them have no traditions to be repetitive with. The just go out there all willy nilly every week hoping something works this week to excite the crowd. So when the Boom does the Tiger Run-On, the big JSU, some oldie love song, Rocks the House and the crowd goes wild on each of those parts, they can only say "They do that every show, why don't they do something new". Maybe the question should be, why do you do new stuff every week and it still not be enough?

Probably because it is much harder to get good crowd response when performing to the visiting crowd. A lot of time they really don't respond to visiting bands and the effect is a show that ends up looking dry and you hear nothing but crickets chirping. But as far as recruiting goes, from the size of recent JSU bands, they are getting more than enough exposure for recruiting. They have been getting bigger for the last 5 years.

I'll have to agree. Never thought about JSU performing "JSU rocks the house" to the vistor's side and the response it would get.

Hard feelings?! :lol: Girl, it's not that serious. Everybody has an opinion.
But no, I haven't seen Alcorn. I saw them last season and the many years before.
The SOD don't impress me (just MY opinion), but I did see improvement last year.

:lmao:

I would also like to add, Dr. Liddell is going to play to a home crowd everytime if it's within HIS power! That's just Doc!
Some of ya'll wanna blame the BOOM when the students have NO control of the many things that go on and with how AND WHAT they perform! Final decisions rest with Dr. Lewis Liddell.

In my opinion, BET should've moved the cameras. That would've been the (broadcast) professional thing to do. But HEY!!! We're talking about BET! :lol:

MSDIVA77,

We don't catch feelings about this type of thing. We did our stint in the band and that's where we left it. You have some though that practically fight about this stuff, but it is not that serious....:lol:

I haven't seen Alcorn this year either, but they were pretty good last year.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. :lmao: Everybody has them. First of motherfreaking all, I don't make it my business to watch JSU. Dear I was watching the game period. (and) I only see JSU when they play ASU,SU, or at a BOTB. I am not talking about the Tiger Run, or etc. I am talking about the halftime show period. A half time show can not be "traditional" every week or at least every time I see the band. That's just my opionion. Like I said before learn something new.

People always talk about the BOOM is just awesome, they are just Great Like Frosted Flakes. (but) I feel that if ASU,MVSU,SU, or any other SWAC band perfected the same show for every week, they would be just the "bomb" also.
That is all I have to say about that subject. :)
