[@ursulajohns5378]

For everyone that doesn't play the drums the song starts at 1:19 lol..........damn intro like Earth Wind and Fire...long as hell

[@ursulajohns5378]

Also does anyone know what key this is in?

[@kellymoore9618]

7th key is bb

[@BunnieButtons]

Ursula Johns 😂😂😂

[@MARCHING100PAPARAZZI]

Ursula Johns the whole purpose is to build up to the band smh lol plus this is an actual cadence

[@hazelskin]

You Know Why Im Here lol that's all fine and well and it was a good cadence too but, "you know why I'm here", I only came her for the song lol

My God!! You have to listen to this on some good ass headphones omgosh!! Those piccolos are everything!!

[@giantsfan567]

vivia francis this is my first time hearing the wood winds even though I've listened to this song so many time lol. I just like to listen to the drum line and listen for bass runs😂 But they are really good! I can hear their trills too.

[@vivialadyflag]

Lol your welcome!

[@mullermichael4296]

The incredible transparency and the good intonation through all registers even up to flutes and pics in their high register us the secret why FAMU nails this piece like no one else !

[@lboogie620]

Percussion!! Tubas!! Flutes!! I felt this in my soul!!

[@treydatruth1285]

One of the greatest bands to ever grace the field...

[@carvellthedon]

I'm the only white dude who at the UAPB games in Arkansas and I swear I've never seen colleges go harder than they do at schools like that. I love it

[@Shes_From_SE_DC]

[@MajorCane01]

I’ve never heard a band so precise when doing this cover Famu is the best one ever heard. 🔥

[@sadoucelouis]

Yea I listened to all of the bands playing the same version and hands down you guys at FAMU played it the best!! Congratulations!!

[@montclairballys4169]

Excellent musicianship

[@dwaynesmith8029]

Those pics sounded heavenly

[@TheRebelMisses]

Jesus. Goosebumps all over me.

[@mullermichael4296]

This is sooo good. Played with a very precise timing to the point. Very good intonation (not just in the „front registers“….even up to the flutes and the pics who have to play in their high register as a group….very difficult). Powerful through all registers and so transparent you can exactly hear even the all woodwind registers. And that’s why they mail it like no others! Great job !!!!

[@ducecinco]

No one’s touching FAMU on the The King’s Motorcade….Perfection

[@Vambam121]

This is the Muzak version. No soul.

[@dakidcold]

The whole percussion section 🔥🔥🔥 but the trumpets went crazy as well

[@surreal904]

I remember when we first played this at the Battle of the Bands at The Florida Classic, I forget the year but, I remember seeing the entire crowd turning their head after we played the first three notes; talk about being even more amped............HUBBA "HUNDRED" and "THUNDER"....IIIIIIIGGGGGTTOOOOXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@crownloyal7244]

Imagine Growing Up In Tallahassee,Florida Famu sits on the highest of 7 Hills

[@Na1985Na]

No better band then FAMU. Do you here how clean and precise the notes where played, drum line on point the haters can fall back! No band can come close to even trying to touch FAMU! Go Rattlers!

[@ccharlie05]

Percussion nailed that intro! Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gorgeousstuey]

Damn damn damn ... I love it .. BAND IS MY LIFE LOL

[@sirroxxy4286]

Them piccs would make any woodwind player proud!

[@Tampa0123456789]

GoD DAM!!!!!!!!! That was massive. I felt like i was back in the mother land. Best arrangement of this that i have ever heard period. Even better than the comming to america movie and and drumline movie.

[@playboylifestyle7599]

@Captain Chaos yea It doesn’t beat the movie it’s missing that violin that the movie used

[@Wizdominion]

Flutes got my attention

[@PIMPIN_SINCE_BEEN_PIMPIN]

i love the dynamics on this song! Percussion had their feature and faded back and let the horns take over and didnt over-play. AMAZING

[@lb4398]

8 years later the musicianship is still unparalleled

[@brandnew0801]

most people think they are slack because of their old fashion style....only true musicians would understand how good they actually are....I still think FAMU is a fantastic band

[@chrisjames6587]

I think a tear just fell...... i love you Fam!!!!

DAYUM....they rocked this!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I wish the Congolese drummers could hear this!

[@cramirez3855]

FAMU best college marching band ever to exist

[@EdwardM104]

I happen to like FAMU's arrangement over all the others, not only because it is more original to the song but FAMU plays it better. While most bands blast, FAMU and BCU and few others focus on sound and musicality therefore they sound better

[@jamesz.williams8746]

Mannnn come thru piccalo
