I was in this on the side playing my Clarinet. The good ole days.

Rest in Heaven Dr. Foster. It was an honor to be a student at FAMU during your direction of the 100!

Awww the good ole days

I was there.

That director went to FAMU

I was at this concert I was at FAMU.

Though it was done in 99 most of the snippets came from fall 92. Yyyyeeeeeee hubba doc

Thank doc. They are right u lead us into life I will be eternally thankful. Fall 92 gestapo 305 Mighty Mouse. Hubba Doc

One word *LEGEND*

Memory lane

Man, we we're good!!

This shit gave me goosebumps!! Can't believe this is 21 years ago!!!!!! Miss those teenage days

They cold

Benny bee was the director then. he came to Morris Brown when it was accredited and changed the music department. smh shame he didn't get to shine

DAMN!!! Now let me get this straight... THIS A HIGH SCHOOL marching band? Could have sworn this was FAMU, SU,BCC etc... Big time PROPS to them on this!!!

I can only imagine their band director is a FAMU graduate, cause Southfield play, marches and performs like The Marching 100....They even are playing all of Famu's arrangements.....Kudos Southfield...

Omg I march with Osborn and Pontiac central but Southfield was one of my favorite too

i couldnt believe how Mr. Ben McKnight left us at Smithfield High to go to Southfield High. Yall stole him. lol. He was a great band director.

The good ole dayz....

I still haven't got my 1998 highlight tape...smh..lol

Aww I miss playing my Clarinet. 2000-2003 McKnight days! Thanks for the memories. :)

@ aristocratify: Point well taken.….. However, this group recieved "Straight" superior ratings in one of the most competitive music enviornments in the state of Michigan… This was a spring concert that included all elements of the instrumantal music department. If I had posted the band playing this selection, it would have been the festival performance….. You can always go to the MSBOA festival archives (1999) and listen for yourself….

This was a great performance and was befitting to invite a great conductor. My grad school teacher, my mentor, confidante, Professor, "the late" Barney E. Smart. I truly miss him....." heaven has gain a great conductor for it's omega ensemble" Benjamin McKnight Jr. SHS Director of Band & Orchestra (95-2002)

they are everything bands in the 90's were the best more dedication kids today have so much time on their hand and complain about everything

We had a chip on our shoulder that year

I remember that dance routine being hard to remember, we almost left it out the show

This is 98 camp drill, not 99....I was there in 98

damn i remember this we won BV that is lol man that takes a bro back for real lol

from 97-03 Southfield was one of the Top 5 programs in the country

I remember this! This was at the 1st annual Southfield BOTB! Toledo Scott was in the house that night! It featured Southfield, Scott, Flint Northern, Saginaw Buena Vista and a few more. Who got the tape???

Had us High Steppin...those other bands were all flatfooted...got some of the homies scholarships to FAMU. #respect

Great intro but the solo passages were not up to par. However, the trumpet solo was played with more confidence then others. Your percussion set was a tad bit too loud in most instances. A rich lower woodwind sound. One of two things are at play, either the ensemble needed more practice time or this tune is just beyond the musical capability of the group. Only the director knows the answer to this question. An overall good group of musicians.

the solo clarinet needs to be a little louder in the beginning

Oh My goodness. There is no reason why a high school band would be this good. I didn't joint until 05, but this is where it started. Miss Ben Mcnight man. Best Band Ever, by far.
