Last? After the 100?       Uh, not!   They always save the 100 for last.

I thought we were going to be performing  last

Are you serious?    You're lucky you're not first or second. Performing behind Southern is going to be an even greater task for Albany State & Tuskegee. They may treat your 2 performances as intermission to get ready to watch the "HUNDRED".

that's all...

[Jay_Thomas]

I'm really surprised Southern is preceding the 100.

Either way, matters not the order. Its what you do on the field that counts. 

Represent, Golden Rams. 

[that damnYOGI....]

Now, Jay, the largest band is always the last band. Cookman the last few years and the HUNDRED last year & Morris Brown the first year. I am not surprised that Southern is preceding the HUNDRED. Southern doesn't have much street creds in the state of Georgia. FAM does.

that's all...

After that Jukebox gets thru with their tight precision and swangin those horns up
 in the air........well.....  ITS O-VA!!! Naw...just talkin smack....  

SU is one of my favorite bands and I also love the 100 too.

Two very DIFFERENT styles of hbcu band pagentry and both tops at their game.  



 



Morris Brown. ...    I do miss seein those Marching Wolverines and that Bubblin Bubblin Bubblin  

[that damnYOGI....]

True. Southern is a BEAST! It will be interesting to see how the 2 bands will perform because you know neither one of them like the other, but they do respect each other's style. The last time Southern was in the GA Dome was maybe the Heritage Bowl versus Hampton and I must admit "The Force" blew on Southern that day & had a better field show. I don't think Southern was expecting that. But, the Southern people would state otherwise.

that's all...

Listen to what was said on the TJMS this morning about the Honda Battle of the Bands.   This is so funny.

They are arranging the bands in this order because in the past, a lot of people would skip watching the smaller bands and get there later just to hear the larger bands.  This order of performance makes everyone sit through the entire show.

Man Shame on Honda for putting ASU on AFTER Southern... Not selling them short but that sound, and maybe the numbers in the seats will take a dip after the Jags leave the field...

Depending on the wheather, I maynot be able to make it.
