BCU vs FAMU 2023 Florida Classic Halftime Show Reaction Review | Steven Holiday

[@vondada1]

I cant get passed the first minute. Bethune's media team conveniently edited out the 2 false starts in the beginning of their show! 😂😂😂 The band members were confused at the start, and the crowd BOO'D!!!

[@BishopMichaelBNesby]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[@elroyjetson06]

Big facts it was trash

[@Famny-ks5by]

It was a mistake move on

[@AGB32805]

Of course they did!

[@jaymike3324]

Lol bruh it was a small mistake y’all act like it’s the end of world or it ruined the show. Wth was Bethune-Cookman media team was suppose to do leave it in there😂😂😂😂

[@kevinsivells8996]

This was very entertaining. The "DAMU" was funny. However, the BCzzzzz formation with the announcer saying "What The Hell" took the show. Plus I love the drill formations of FAMU. So I give them the win.

[@MzSneakerdoll]

I love the rivalry between both schools. I’m in Florida. I look forward to the Classic every year. Love both bands! I think your scoring is fair and well detailed, but I feel(IMO) the 💯was my absolute favorite!💚🧡

[@anafreeman5063]

The difference is clear 💚🧡💚🧡🐍🐍🐍

[@KeepIt1HuniTT]

Man I'm sooooooooo happy to see the Marching 100. This reminds me of the Glory years of Dr. William P Foster and Dr. Julian White. Thank you so much Dr. Shelby R. Chipman. The sound from FAMU was symphonic and just beautiful!

[@conradkelly1423]

My biggest issue with Cookman was not the mishap in the beginning. I felt all there vocal add ons from the guest artist was not in sync

[@maestrojmusic]

Great video editing skills BCU. Ifykyk🤣 All jokes aside, I love the energy from both crowds. Hubba Hundred 🐍

[@YRNDAY]

😂😂😂

[@cyruscalhouniii121]

When you tell the story, you tell the whole story and there was a key difference from the start! Lol

[@soliesol5854]

I was in the 100 back in 1983 it still is the STANDARD perfection fast or slow look and learn From The Class Act Showtime!!!!!!!!100 means excellent !!!

[@keithyounger9397]

The Marching 100 was sick with it! They really had a good dynamic show! It was over at the beginning of their show!

[@veronicawalls3011]

Enjoyed both bands

[@kingd1136]

Both bands did great however, I would like to see BCU bring more to the table. Like do a drill and instead of running off the field actually play something off the field. I feel like it’s tacky to run off

[@LindaCarnes-o2j]

FAMU! Of course! They are still the best in the north, south, east, and west!! Go Rattlers! 74

[@Mary_305]

The Florida Classic game is like a Family reunion . I have family members graduated from both schools. The marching 💯 did their thang. 🧡💚

[@chrisstanley349]

Both shows were nice to watch but I feel like FAMU put a more thought and planning into their show. And always we always look forward to both schools shading the other. Definitely going with FAMU for the win .

[@jaymike3324]

As a cookman alum I think your scores were fair.

[@denisejones9049]

Love both bands❤

[@bassclef06]

For me, FAMUs show had more energy and drill was more complex. Both sounded good! Overall FAMU A, BCU B.

[@mrfamu]

Both bands did amazing loved that famu played let’s go could have been better loved how cookman tried to rattle on the field wish I can see half time where both comes together would be dope show that Florida unity always great performance by far the best fall 03 M100

[@daddyrock1702]

i saw BCU in jacksonville and they really did a good show and I was wondering how they would prepare for the classic. Well now we know besides the disrespectful DAMU there wasn't much going on. BCU was good but FAMU came for the kill this year. And they were successful.

[@conradkelly1423]

I love that our Bands in Florida stay with our Florida style of Bands FAMU BCU FMU EWU

[@victoriabostick2935]

@conradkelly yes I totally agree. Although cookman and fam are now in the swac we have maintained our style and sound. The other SWAC bands sound so loud wrong and tiney. Way too much brass and not balanced.

[@conradkelly1423]

@@victoriabostick2935 yes most just blasting to be loud. Copying Southern

[@victoriabostick2935]

@@conradkelly1423 yes omg. When cookman played southern they kept saying how bad cookman sounded. I had to go off on them. I told them that they sound tiney and the man said “tiney is not a word” i told him he needs to get reeducated because it sure is a word. He did not reply 😂😂😂😂

[@mafabe1da]

Go Rattlers Marching 💯. ❤you Rattlers. Marching 💯 is my favorite.

[@carlenedavenport4441]

Both BCU and FAMU are great bands with great sounds, just different styles. I am a BCU alumni and we could do more formations, however for the classic it could be the allotted time for the performance. I noticed at the Jaguars game they did formations. Again, both great bands, different styles....we are one...HBCUs...Go Wildcats!!!!

[@woodytinker93]

The run off kills me everytime 🤦🏾‍♀️ and y didn’t u play the video when BCC messed up in the beginning??Their special guests were not together with band just a hot mess 😂 They definitely lost. Their drum Majors where the best part but they never disappoint. FAMU🧡🐍💚 💯🧡🐍💚

[@vondada1]

BCU basically DID NOT do a drill! 😂😂😂 I was there!

[@Famny-ks5by]

We have a nine-minute time limit, and unlike Famu, we have dancers, which is why our show seem is so limited…

Which band went first

[@andrewwilson6038]

BCU went first then FAMU

[@jessewilcox1569]

At high school band Contest.That major mishap by Bcu would have given them a 3 score minimum at the contest. It would have killed their performance score ..

[@HBCUBandTalk]

HailWildcats!!!

[@SheliaRiley-j2j]

I didn't like the end of Bethune's performance. That wasn't necessary😮! Disgrace towards the university. I thought BCU was a proud school. As an alumni, not happy!

[@dperfect28]

😂😂 but the middle finger back in 2019 was ok??

[@vbrown888]

Your scoring isn't accurate. FAMU's precision and quality should have been a 20. (Based on your scoring) Famu's tone and showmanship are and have always been top-notch. BCU sound quality and formations are good. The 'solid gold dancer' worked hard. BCU band members and leaders stooped very low when the band spelled out DAMU from the band's formation of FAMU. This type of accepted band behavior will not get you an invite to the Louis Vuitton Paris fashion show or any National format! 🧡💚🐍Alumni. #ILOVEFAMU #MYFAMULY #FAMUSWAG2023 BCU can you spell SWAG?🤣😁

[@amuchneeded]

Someone on purposely left out the first minutes of BCC feildshow 🤔🤔🧐 Mr. Steve

[@ayojones8669]

BCU false starting, no drill pep band & spelling Damu with a lower case "u"...is this the best show you guys could come up with as your final show....no motion!!! Famu on the other hand...great show, entrance was great, drill was great, concert selection was tight, BC ZZZZ was accurate!!! Hubba 100 🧡💚🧡💚🧡💚

[@micchek6150]

FAMU🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@DerrickandJasmineFambro]

My first year marching with Cookman was in 2004. Famu messed up all 4 years I marched. I still remember 2 sousaphones running on the field mid show. So let’s not act like Famu don’t be out here wild’n. Cookman chose not to do a drill 1 year and yall acting like it’s the end all be all to a great show. At the end of the day #HailWildcats great show. #DAMU. My high school put z’s in our rivals letters back in 2002 and it was still funny when the snakes did it.

[@roderickbalam3147]

Why did Bethune leave and not participate in the 5th Quarter for the 2nd year straight?

[@dperfect28]

Cookman never did a 5th at the classic except back in 18 or 19 when ESPN asked both band to play after the game

[@peavyboy44]

FAMU

[@conradkelly1423]

we jumped the gun with the swac champs . We play for the championship dec 2 at Bragg against PVMU. If we win then we play Howard in the Celebration Bowl in Atlanta

[@marjorieregina6029]

SWAC East Champs, that counts. We even have a trophy.

[@NekeshiaHarris]

FAMU was presented the trophy for SWAC East Champs at the last home game, so it's not jumping the gun.

[@jefferylee5583]

The only problem with the celebration bowl the time.

[@edwinsylvain2497]

So you don’t talk about the mistakes BC made at the beginning? That’s why I can’t take you seriously. What do you know about band culture?

[@edwinsylvain2497]

You’re a “band critic” but all he say is “not bad…sounds good…dancers look nice”?

[@terrantaylor9940]

Mess ups happen. This isn't the first time. Editors do their job, so why would you include it in the vid? People really want that one mishap to overshadow a solid performance.

[@JariusGlover]

Nah show the real clip flag in the play bcc

[@kmackey2292]

BCU drum majors are good & band was ok. BCU took it to an unnecessary level by using profanity. I'm very surprised their band director approved this. Young children were there & that sent a wrong message thats its ok to use profanity on any platform. FAMU was better & kept it classy. DAMU = UMAD IJS GO RATTLERS 🧡💚🐍

[@famupicolo]

BCU looked like a good high school band compared to the hundred 🐍

Yall always talking that noise. Plz do not get me started on yall band. 👎🏽

[@famupicolo]

@@victoriabostick2935 here’s the thing, when Cookman is good, I always give credit but this year they were pathetic… false start, practically no drill, concert song was ok nothing spectacular. Cookman has been much better in previous years, i since some changes for them in the near future.
