Alcorn State to me as improved greatly to me. Trombones seem stronger, F-horns are improving, arrangements are improving, tubas are trying to push for a change, drilling has improved, and thank you jesus for alcorn finally getting back to REAL tenor drums.They have increased numbers and Dr. Murray has them going in the right direction. Expect Alcorn to take over the house, but still dont count out MVSU MVSU on the other hand has also improved alot since previous years. MVSU for the first time in a couple of years is deveolping their own sound for a change.Trumpets have heavily improved since 2009, 2010, and 2011. The SWAC Hammer will be decent like always. New Leadership of the "Mean Green" with Dr. Harris has brought structure and new energy to a band that will be something to reckon with in the SWAC in the future. I can see MVSU being in the Top 5 of the SWAC in 2013.
One Negative I see with both bands is = DRUM MAJOR STYLE
I see too much Jackson 5 in both Alcorn and MVSU. (just my opinon, not bashing)
I predict Alcorn to win it on the field, but the 5th quarter will be a good battle, i see MVSU taking the 5th.
To be honest, most of the SWAC can care less about this game, but I can see this being one of the top battles of the season.
