TXSU has an amazing flag core. They performed really well with the music. Love how they welcomed the dancers onto the field who did an amazing job dancing in such a tight space.
The Ocean sound and looks DEEP! I like the numbers ... looking like the mid 2000s. Motion did great as well. Can't wait to see what's in store for us in this new season. Everything is bigger in TX heaux! 😂
From what I could see/hear TxSU got some good stuff going, keep in mind the type of stadium and acoustics sound is gonna bounce. Motion, definitely a talented group!, Very technical and advanced choreography, they were clean for the majority lets be CLEAR, lots of ripples and technique, also great recovery in the back from one of the ladies during a turn, I wanna see this routine again definitely after a good first pass of it here.
They had uniform issues. But they were solid. Sound was on point. Their harmonies, etc were on fire. Idk why people keep up the "it's a jukebox copy", they literally did mlre than one drill that the Jukebox doesn't do. Smh the first drill is on old 1970s pictures of the Ocean. Nobody says FAMU Patterns in Motion drills are copycat so why is this the narrative with the Ocean? I don't get it. The hate is too real.
The drill was cool, but I was honestly distracted by the twirler dropping the baton with every toss. The drum majors were really fun to watch and reminded me of an HBCU version of the Aggie DMs at Texas A&M. The band sounded okay, and the ballad was good. I'm not particularly a fan of the "dance-twirly" flag lines; I prefer the more Norfolk-Bethune style or NCA&T, so the flags here really didn't hold my attention. The dancers were AMAZING! I'm shocked that all 16 of those girls danced as one; the precision was next level! The band dance was mostly "blah" for me. Apart from the dancers, nothing really "wowed" me with this band. They were good, but just that-good. It was a good performance. Meh.. ❤🇺🇸

^^^ MY GOODNESS! after waiting all of the off-season for this dynamic 2024 PEPSI NATIONAL BOTB competition, i must honestly state that i'm a bit disappointed. heck, last season's OCEAN of SOUL performance (at this burgeoning and renowned event) with a much smaller band... was much more PRECISE/DYNAMIC and the overall SOUND POWER was definitely on point. this season's group sounded as though they are all trying to get over COVID-19. spacing with the TUBA'S was a bit glaring... what was with those strange CIRCLES?... and why did they stay in them for soooooo long?... the WAVES really need to practice more, they seemed quite lethargic and stoic at times. however, i am a bit encouraged and overjoyed with the new numbers of this season's OCEAN. i'm thinking that they just need a bit more time to get used to GROWTH and DYNAMISM. (it's all about creating a new and everlasting CULTURE) once this occurs, it shall be OVER FOR THE REST. go OCEAN... i'm with you all of the way! GO TIGERS!♥🌊🎵🔔🔥
@@MsElleDElle ^^^ what's your point? everyone of these participating marching bands harbored "FRESHMEN". yet, SOUTHERN JUKE BOX was simply OUTSTANDING. (PRECISION... PROJECTION... SHARPNESS...

(therefore, "TO WHOM MUCH is GIVEN... MUCH is EXPECTED".) we should all harbor GREAT EXPECTATIONS for the OCEAN since they have one of the greatest band directors and related staff in the SWAC. as I have stated beforehand "THEY LOOKED/SOUNDED MUCH BETTER LAST SEASON with a MUCH SMALLER BAND"... period. i am a very patient individual. therefore, i am willing to present this group the BENEFIT of the DOUBT. they just have to create a NEW and EVERLASTING culture throughout their organization. this takes a bit of time. however, WE LOVE THE OCEAN and the WATER will be just fine...♥
@griffielliott279 this is literally the same style the Ocean has always had. They just came in from the sides. That isn't new for the Ocean since the 70s.
You have to make a statement coming out the gate, I remember TSU drum majors would dance coming onto the field. The drill was lackluster and ridiculous. I wanna see more innovative drills like Honda BOTB 23’. This performance left more to be desired: Motion has a viral tictok dance going around, Thee late representative Sheila Jackson-Lee passing deserved a nod for her strong support of TSU, You have a new TSU president, The Presidential Election, NBOTB 10th Anniversary. There was so much to pull from to make a quality showcase. Creatively speaking I’m the most disappointed. Quit trying to Not be SU and Be TSU. Let’s plan and come up with something more creative. You have the pieces, put it together. Please…. Please…. Please
With all due respect , I would compare this event to a football jamboree . Which takes place at the beginning of the school year . Sort of a grand opening display . And a teachable moment for the athletes and student performers . Now for homecomings , classics and midway to end of season performances ... . ✌️
@@dwaynedwayne8342 From my perspective if TSU is aiming at being on-par with SU and JSU there is no room for wasted performances or tune-up performances. Those aforementioned bands have multiple years of success and consistency TSU do not have. TSU can’t have it both ways, either you’re on the level of SU JSU, ASU, FAMU… etc or you’re not. My point is that they are capable of doing so, because I’ve seen it. Just need the consistency the TOP band carry-which is their power!
Call me a hater but this show was boring not to mention to much su in the field show routine I love Simmons but this wasn’t it my guy this just my opinion

11:19 😂 Now I could have done without that part, but I liked everything else. Bands don't need a _hype man!_
SU might end up 3rd this year. Frfr.
They was 3rd last year 😂😂😂
I saw at least three times that band members stopped at the wrong yard line. Gotta work on drilling a little more, but the sound is there.
It’s their first show so I’ll give them grace.

Was this filmed from the rear? The sound was off... like they were playing to the other side of the field during the drill.
Need two cameras one for each side. Half the bands play to one side and the other half plays to the opposite side.
Usually cameras have mics on the sideline. This sounded like the cameras mic.
Every band that played to the east were drowned out by the acoustics and announcers, we couldn’t make out what was being played.
Yup
Not exactly true.. PV & BCu projected pretty well. Ganted PV mostly plays facing forward. TxSU did project much better in the stands.
@@mjgabriel9743we still couldn’t make out what was being played tho. Nothing on the bands.
PV and BCU sound was distorted too.
They did good the comments not giving them enough credit
Cause they all from su
Motion was good however with a team of that quantity, cleanliness is your best attribute!
