[@tommyleejr.1326]

I'm SU down............but this is one hell of sweet sound on this song. Bounce back FAMU..........miss seeing you guys across the field battling against us!!!

[@CrystalKinchen7]

That's respect Tommy Lee Jr. because you know the SU over everybody else Force is a Strong One. LOL

[@muzical35]

From 1 meac bandhead to another I'm glad I never had to sit on the opposite of the field from this!!!

[@glinspierre5227]

great sound and quality from the brass and the Tubas don't have to over whelm the band that's a real band!!!

[@theresalyons9040]

I Love FAMU say la la

[@sammywicks848]

One of Famu Golden years😢 These kids now say don’t take pride in anything no more

[@kentronchamelon8456]

Where are they now? Where are all of you good FAMU band members, and how are all of you doing? Congratulations for knowing how to play a musical instrument, and for loving music, and for having been a part of a great music organization. (Kentron Chamelon/Monday/7-3-2017)

[@XxDWillxX]

they tuba line seem like the only section that never mess up on anything. they stay on point!

[@drlori4]

I'm so proud of my alma mater...hold up the tradition of such a great band!

[@famuscholar89]

Thats the whole point kiddo! It's called the "FAMU Sound"..our percussion section is to be felt not heard! but thanks for the observation.

[@shalomsims7270]

Favorite song I played on band I still have the whole song memorized after all these years

[@XxDWillxX]

not always. listen to the marches they play. and it's more than just notes, it's the tone, intonation, style. they always sound as a whole to me.

[@mauricebrown9113]

1st time l heard this was in 1987 in the OB...they was blowimg smoke out dem horns

[@Bigballer0803]

Tubas gettin off

[@RukiRocks521]

i love this songgg

[@Kalel0986]

Fell in love with this sing!! Booker T.Washington SH class of 05 Miami,Fl

[@dontravisallen3650]

At the end of the day.. FAMU is a Staple in the Marching Band World. They have been judged for being too BIG, they've been judged for dancing too much... They've been judged for not blowing their lungs out. If folks ain't talkin bout Cha then you're not relevant. After that horrible incident that happened back in 2011 if u notice Swac bands went into FAMU's music book and snatched hella music and tweaked it. I like sum Swac bands alot but I Love me sum FAM. Now they need to get back to where they were, like seriously... It's about to be 2019 #LetsGetIt

[@MrJSU2010]

come on 50 tubas , i know yall can send more sound then that

[@adrianjackson6207]

good job tbones adding your tag in at 3:04

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@678mrj dude chill. every band has its bad days. and this actually sounds good to say they've been playing for 4 hours. famu is still one of the best bands in the land

[@kev11386]

@Gentleman1911 wow, the frequency response on your camera is excellent. not to mention the balance of the band. keep up these top notch clips my friend.

[@LadyChemicalEngineer]

Wish I could play for them! They sound great!

[@me2237247]

Fam=Ham if ham taste good,then FAMU's music sounds good.

[@kyokitty16]

omg!!!! memories!!!! i remember when i played this at wenonah high school!!!! sigh i miss band

[@josephstewart2261]

2009 TO 2017 LAWD PRAY THEY COME BACK AND IM A AGGIE THIS IS MUSIC

[@Gentleman1911]

@kev11386 I hear what you are saying but yes, I only used one camera to record them and that is the actual audio with the video. Nothing extra sound wise was done. This was at the end of the game when FAMU was blowing at empty stadium seats across from them so who knows. Plus they are not always together when they play anyway so that could play a part as well.

[@58glindsey]

Mt Airy "Pieces of a Dream" Philly's finest. Nice!!!! you just showing how you are paying attention to some of that Great Music. Keep Doing what you Do. 3x3

[@Kalel0986]

The first time I heard this song I was walking into my high band for the first time!! Fell in

[@realrude01]

Song:Say La La By Artist: (Pieces of a Dream) would be so proud Sounds Great💯👍

[@kev11386]

I love the 100, always have, they sound great. I'm a mix engineer and i'm picking up some hall reverb and some interesting panning. I know its synced w the video but its kinda hard to have that large hall reverb sound in an open stadium. sounds great but I'd be surprised if this was the actual audio from this clip.

[@kamikaze941]

you can never go wrong with say lala

[@Gentleman1911]

@TheDragonmaster18 Oh, no I was referring to being on beat together. With a band of that size, tempo becomes a common problem.

[@MELLOWMADNESS88]

@bestclass08 SOUTHERN U 1988 "BEFORE I LET GO" OUR ARRANGEMENT WAS SMASHING EVERYTHING THAT SONG TO ME WAS SOUTHERN THEME SONG BEFORE NECK CAME INTO PLAY AND TOOK THE SPOT

[@jboggy27]

This sounds really good Famu..

[@Myles_noaustin]

good- from a Tennessee State fan

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@Gentleman1911 i was repling to your comment when you said that the band isnot always together when the play s thats why i asked if they always have the full band or not

[@latosharichardson4533]

I know this is an Aristocrat signature but FAMU doing their thing on it! Bc the original version by pieces of a dream is very light compared to Keegan DeWitt he gives the song an edge! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚

[@Lamik4000]

I agree band. Attacks,releases and phrasing killed us this year.

[@Hismusicianship]

@XxDWillxX i think the hundred needs to go back to the days of "Hubba Doc". A 250 block, and a good tree shaking every week.

[@DDubbs7]

Famu does sound good this year. I agree alittle with the phrasing, attacks etc alittle. It would be cool if "The Law" would be a director of the band again. Don't get me wrong though Dr. White and the other directors have been doing a hec of a great job

[@Silverlined_69]

While I loved Dr. White as our head director, I'm sad I never got to march with him at the helm. I'll never forget playing Elsa's procession during his wake on campus. Crying for a man I never got to meet but changed my life for the better.

[@luvdocta76]

they are off the chain

[@ShakesLifeGirl2k11]

the female saxophonist on the end near the isle was gettin down the whole video

[@Gentleman1911]

@kev11386 Shooting with a Sony Handycam DCR-VX2100. Love it.

[@Gentleman1911]

@TheDragonmaster18 Not fully understanding your question. Are you asking if FAMU takes everyone on road trips? I doubt it.

[@jonaclerv]

@PurplephiHaze007 Noo Newbold is MY director lol.(BTW SHS Miami, Fl..)

[@ugottacme200uno]

@bigdudeoncampus yeah thats from a fanfare

[@floridamanjay]

u hear that one screamin TROMBONE?

[@vkerr09]

@purplephihaze so if their not mellophones wat r they?

[@XxDWillxX]

*sound GOOD as a whole...

[@DIGGZZ2001]

good look

[@DIGGZZ2001]

I love this song. does anyone know who sings it?

[@XxDWillxX]

oh ok. my bad...well she told me at one of the classic games in orlando i think...oh well

[@jldasher]

Are all the tuba's playing because for the number I see they sound weak. The upper brass is drowning them out. Other then that the band sound really good.

[@TheDragonmaster18]

@Gentleman1911 so its notalways the full band at the games?

[@KapitolKartoon09]

wow i like them audibles tho la la la la la la say la la lol

[@vkerr09]

that sreaming trombone is actually a MELLOPHONE..

[@weatheralert4467]

What’s the name of the song

[@UhhhAreyouok]

This is my favorite song FAM play but this sounds a mess and is not there best. Not as clean as I know they could be.

[@XxDWillxX]

yeah...them trumpets need to watch the entrances n releases n stuff. Cuz it don't sound good. well i guess all of em do but it's usually the trumpets, sometimes trombones that i hear. Other than that, this song is still ma jam!! lol

[@Hismusicianship]

I think FAMU would sound alot better if they trimmed back to around 325.

[@bigdudeoncampus]

does any1 else here that trombone lick at the end lol...

[@Cardellt]

WOW! lmao

[@christaviousmccain6375]

30 tubas and it sounds like 5.

[@isaiahthomas9595]

right

[@HumidWarfareStudios]

Their tone is still good though and they're letting the trombones get the melody

[@corneliusballard4621]

Christavious Mccain They aint swac thats why, but the bamd sound good overall

[@mrbigwill007]

If you know the song it's not about the Tubas. Show me a better sounding video.

[@dperfect28]

@@mrbigwill007 Bingo

[@wwapd2]

They sound good a little too stiff for like the funky groove that Jackson State brings with their arrangement

[@reginaldrizor2421]

blew Howard out of the water

[@XxDWillxX]

sounds good to me lol.

[@baseline500]

@jgutter34 funny shit lol

[@floridamanjay]

@vkerr09 lmao

[@XxDWillxX]

@Hismusicianship yup. and look better. they too sloppy. a member of the band told that at the beginning of this season they dropped from 425 to 350. so its not MUCH of a difference but they can be a lot cleaner. it always seems like 2 or 3 trumpets and trombones hangin over on notes i hate that. i love FAM, best band period, but yall need to clean up, trim the band some, and come strong on discipline with straighter lines in marching this coming season.

[@brownj83]

becuase they only got like 5 or 6 notes to play
