Gotta be honest... They can play. They can chop. But they aren't as extraordinarily tricky as The BOx or Funk Train.... They stuff they play is nothing new down here in Houston..... Their cleanliness give them a big edge, but that's because their Visuals are super-easy.... I know sum would disagree, but I have seen better from my section (Funk Train) and The BOX.

I guess the first line in your response is the difference. MD dosent concentrate on "tricks" they concentrate on rudiments and cleanliness. The "super-easy"(lol) visuals are just an added feature with these boys. The percussion instructor works really hard to teach "percussion" and we work really hard to attract students who want to learn. So the tricks and gimmicks can stay with SU/PV/A&T etc.

I understand your opinion, bruh... But our section at TxSU does the same thing, with a little bit more visual creativity... I'm not negating yalls "Percussive Awareness". Yall definitely have that... I just the know that I have done and seen better stuff without compromising the art of Percussion for the sake of crowd response.... I wish we could have battled yall at Honda. That woulda been a great match-up. Both of our sections shoot for the same thing...

[Gigsteve]

I hear you. I guess it depends on what you consider to be "better." That definition tends to change from region to region. No disrespect I'm sure we both prefer the style of our individual schools.

[NSUMDFS]

@KC816KC eveyone has the right to an opinion

[KC816KC]

@NSUMDFS But I believe VSU won with horsepower.. And honestly the drumline might not have won but I think VSU's chops r better the Norfol

[NSUMDFS]

@KC816KC VSU has never been better than Norfolk..sorry.

[KC816KC]

VSU and MDFS are very similar.. But to b honest.. I think VSU is better.. WTH HARNESSES!!!!
