Bethune-Cookman University - Halftime Show (2013)

[@Salsadivva]

0:35 - 1:02 BCU drum majors have one the best entrances! These young men were working so hard that two of them lost their hats!

[@Ajizzlesoe13]

JESUS!!! I didn't know BCU was that huge! When the camera zoomed out for the first time, I nearly spit sprite on my ipad!

[@rodneyplayer5483]

LMAO

[@cuhleebfilms4559]

Good lord the one drum major fell! I wouldn't wanna be him afterwards! Great job though , bcu is one of my favorite bands! Great sound and spirit, my band director went there.

[@relentless81]

Damn they sound so clean. Can't wait until they come to NC

[@lavontastrickland8128]

They always have such a full rich sound. I love them!

[@BoutIt02]

I love this band, showmanship for years, they r my 2nd fav, tho Morris Brown is gone they will 4eva b my fav

[@tashariddle1415]

I love band videos. :-)

[@REPUBLICANSAREBEYONDSTUPID]

That damn In The Stone intro gives me chills!

[@milkman341]

bethune i love you guys coming from marching 101 member

[@andreniqueharris7830]

They sound soooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@callystarr]

That "You & I" is classic

[@hyperdriven08]

Wow!!!!! BCU looking and sounding GOOD!!!!

[@samuelelite123]

Strong sound, clean look, and its only the first game. Great work BCU. Cant wait to see yall in Miami. Hail Wildcats!!!!!!!!

[@Taezone11]

They got a powerful brass section

[@cmansax06]

Thanks for the 50 yd line footage

[@rodneyplayer5483]

That sound is undeniably great. Love the balance of instruments.

[@tyiseverything99fr71]

Yes im going only bcu fan in a all famu family

[@Hotpink2juicyblue]

The drum major loses his hat yet he still sticks the matrix head thing

[@bennylabran4515]

As an alum of the Human Jukebox of Southern University Old School c/o 74-77. I personally have always enjoyed BCC's sound. Impeccable balance, intonation, and articulation. However, you must also demonstrate your intelligence! Several dance routines but no drills??? You guys usually do a great job of building your shows. Don't stray from what makes great Black College Bands even greater!

[@verbvideo]

BCU great show! Continue to represent FL well while the 100 goes through the rebuilding process.

[@kwizzle83]

man im a tsu fan all the way.but bcu sounds great.these are 2 great sounding bands.

[@Tristan11406]

Even though the two of DM hats fell of they still did a good; Being a DM is not an easy job. 14k did a good job too, I would have like to see a little complexity but overall it was a good performance. Good show BCU!

[@Tristan11406]

Oh really, could you tell me why b/c I had no idea it got cut short. I'm surprised they even had enough time to make alterations to their feature, but that just goes to show how professional they are.

[@wildcat77]

So many bands claim to be the baddest band in the land, and that's fine; however, this band "The Marching Wildcats of Bethune Cookman University" are the baddest band known to man. #disciplined #consistentyearafteryear #precision #sound

[@alexx4690]

this is one great band

[@TheRamases]

This band can really march!

[@B3atRodtv]

@Corey ModernWarNegro junior The intro is called In the Stone

[@b_4bricks]

I would love to see BCU and Jackson State meet up at the MEAC SWAC Challange

[@tevinmusic1994]

Did they get bigger??

[@masonj12yahoo]

Awesome video. Would you mind sharing the type of camera and lens you are using. I want to step my videos up a notch. Also, what mode of focus do you use? Love your videos.

[@tameraw9319]

I love when bcu plays you and I !❤️

[@Blkbeautie00]

Me too I just love my team playing at halftime battle of the bands😊😳

[@jboggy27]

OMG those bass drums on the drill (listen to it with some speakers that have bass).

[@JeremieFoster]

TSU, WE AIN'T NEVER SCARED! 7:38

[@madie1898]

Thanks for another great quality video. #hailwildcats I'm so proud of them.

[@LeoArcanum]

What is the song at 6:14? Please help!

[@x_Esh]

Suit & Tie & Blurred Lines . . . I Love Cookman :) , Definatley my future college !!

[@georgewoodsjr5966]

Wish they where coming to play a&t this year

[@dashriprock301]

Some things never change. BCU will always have a big band with good sound. They don't do anything to "wow" you but they're consistently good. They do need to pick up their tempo a bit.

[@suymboooodie]

New formation was amazing omg

[@mrfamu]

Damn the sound is strong strong showing for Florida college bands

[@deepseatedenterprise]

"DYNAMITE"

[@dancelyfee]

@tristan11406 with most college bands, the hosting band will give the traveling band a certain time to perform. Idk about most bands, but at Cookman. Mr Wells cuts the dance girl number and drill first to stay within timing

[@Salsadivva]

There are only seven 14K dancers this year?

[@ljwalker9514]

Great job Pride! Love your video postings and video quality, but a couple of the closeups missed the effect the band was portraying. Wide angle shots normally capture the best that the Pride has to offer. For the Drum Major entrance and 14K - close up shots are sufficient. Overall, I really enjoyed the performance and video. Thanks!

[@SupervillainDW]

I'll always root for TNSU... but BCU did that! Half time goes to them hands down... Great job!

[@ikingrey1294]

Song at 8:17?

[@BANDTUBEHDDOTCOM]

Ciara - Body Party

[@SonicBoomC98]

There are a LOT of BCU arrangements I just don't like, but that is how a band should sound on the field. I like the way they drilled as well, though I would love to see one of thier shows with a more upbeat tempo

[@rodneyplayer5483]

I would like to see a more upbeat tempo also but i love what they do.

[@kelijahalexander4061]

whats the song at 7:42

[@BANDTUBEHDDOTCOM]

Kemani Alexander Bone Crusher - I Ain't Never Scared

[@kelijahalexander4061]

thanks

[@444hui]

NCA&T played it. They have probably played 25 or more new songs this year.

[@Bigguy2207]

What was the first song?

[@TheAristotle16]

Suit and Tie? Or the intro?

[@ericagordon2592]

I have a friend that goes there she the best yes bcu all day !!!!!

[@Taezone11]

Does anyone have the homecoming show ?

[@BANDTUBEHDDOTCOM]

Thanks for the advice. It would be easier for me if I knew the routine going in, but since I'm not on staff at BCU or know the show going...I just wing it.

[@1qgreen]

Great Intro ! Love BCU "Let's Go Wildcats"

[@Wats4DINNER]

They've been the same size on the field since 03. Its only 224.

[@SonicBoomC98]

Are any MEAC Bands playing Holy Grail?

[@TDMont23]

I love BCU but I realized that they march so high because of the slow tempo they march at.

[@Narasukedon]

Montinez marching full 90s a full show is still pretty difficult but yea I'm sure the tempo is kept to a certain pace to make sure it isn't unfeasible

[@robinsonyemani57]

They're gonna blow famu away this yr....

[@Bigguy2207]

Song at 1:26. Thank you.

[@georgewoodsjr5966]

Sounds damn good

[@AdvicemanJohnson]

Hey the drum majors was real cute. Learning from FAMU's band camp. Lmao. Glad y'all took something home

[@charlesjohnson848]

I heard intonation problems in the dance routine & at the end of the slow number & at times the band balance was off & the tones on them lower brass instruments are not wassup also during the slow number someone was sticking out

[@dancelyfee]

@tristan11406 14k routine was cut short due to time

[@terrellw2003]

Weren't there more girls in the stands?

[@TopangaRae]

FAMU has it comin this yearj... (totally ignore the drum major. SMH) Awesome job as usual. Amazing

[@mrfamu]

Powerful sound my gosh if I see any hate or disrespect ur not musically inclined giving credit rivals sound good

[@GrandmaBurst154]

Their really good except for tha one drum major that fell but overall it was good..... can't wait until next weekend when our band go down there for their homecoming and do tha post game

[@ccharlie05]

Maaaan they are going to destroy FAMU!!!!!!!

[@bobby87322]

Those drummajors were so good except for when the two hats fell off and one fell from the back bend.

[@SonicBoomC98]

I would love to see JSU be BCU's size. I want to see JSU vs WSSU too. Two JSU directors going against each other

[@Tristan11406]

oh okay, thats makes sense.

[@shanenboyd]

Them DM's got fined for losing their hats and falling?

[@FAMUSOLDIER]

Some of you people obviously aren't use to seeing quality bandsmanship and musicality working in unison.

[@cuhleebfilms4559]

ok dr.lee

[@Strictlybusiness_2]

I was right next to Bethune cook man dupe ring the game and the DM said that his strap broke on his hat that's why it fell off

[@HotOffThePressFilms]

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM HERE IN NC NOVEMBER 2. THEM WILD CATS GONNA GET LOOSE!! RRRRR

[@AdvicemanJohnson]

#The100 #FAMUSwag

[@Strictlybusiness_2]

*cookman

[@McKinon1908]

Great job Wildcats

[@paulk.johnson3043]

That comment I just posted was literally a mistake; please disregard it 🙄

[@Justabeliever06]

Tubas last year tubas this year

[@ontariopaige]

They've been doing that. FAMU been falling off by the year. BCU march, play, breath, phrase together. That makes the difference in a marching band.

[@celinemunyana4846]

So ..much ..brass ^-^

[@sonidolibertador]

Go tubas!!!

[@Troyvybz]

Great arrangement this band shows do have to sound loud b great nice n melo sounds from bcu

[@R_Key_A]

14k. No. Nice ending but y'all are known for cutting up a field. No

[@Kathyflowerbomb]

Let's go wildcats

[@mrcutt]

JSU still has the best field intro

[@Lifewitcamm_.]

Damn he lost his had and put his mace on his cape unfortunate that woulda be nice

[@GuillermoPerry]

[B-TONE] Like they used to say; Give props where props is due. That EUPHONIUM sound is tremendously powerfull. I miss those upright horns, it gives the band a full sound no matter what direction they're faced. I wonder where BCU's sudden influx of numbers came from though? :/ ....oh yeah; that... Nevertheless, well done. Carry on! [EXPRESS]

[@izzyandjoe]

as a former CESE band member i've seen better from them. overall still crushed TnSU.

[@thebigbrain99]

And people say black people don't do well in marching band. BS!

[@JohnIvoryMusic]

Great sound but very boring overall, as usual

[@TellTheTruthAnt]

Suit and tie arrangement isn't all that.
