FAMU Marching 100 - Slow One (Death March)

[@aaronalmighty1119]

If it wasn't for FAMU a lot of these other bands would not exist. FAMU is the father of marching bands. Historical FACT!!! All HBCU'S and PWI'S have take from FAM.

[@AnthonyEDavis-tm5ci]

Do your research. Tuskegee was the FIRST HBCU Marching Band.

[@sergeverdier1]

Lol sorry u know nothing that rattling they doing originated from Michigan I think a white school

[@debrascarlett2138]

@@AnthonyEDavis-tm5ci maybe but they did not perform like the 100! We set the standard!

[@etgrider77]

@@AnthonyEDavis-tm5ci Tuskegee was the first HBCU to establish a marching band, Alabama A & M was the second but FAMU is noted as the first HBCU band to create the show style. Tuskegee and Alabama A &M were military style bands upon their inception. FAMU introduced the traditional HBCU show style we see today.

[@ptoyman]

AMAZING!!! That "Slow One" looks painful as hell!! I love all the HBCU marching bands and the rich tradition they represent but this band is definitely in a class all by itself. What gets me is not only are the steps tight, but the tonality is exceptional. Just saw them play NC A&T this past Halloween and I was blown away. This is a black tradition that we must always embrace and celebrate. Thanks for the post!

[@DScott2010]

Painful but when the drum majors blow that whistle for bring it on the adrenaline starts rushing

[@ptoyman]

+Delvin Scott Yeah, I can believe that by the way they attack that field right after that grueling Slow One. It looks awesome from a distance. Without a doubt the best field entrance out there.

[@DScott2010]

+ptoyman 2010 was a great year as a freshman in that band

[@ptoyman]

+Delvin Scott That's a very special honor to be able to say you were part of that exceptional marching tradition. I live in Georgia and hope to be able to catch more of FAMU's games next season, particularly the Florida Classic against BCU. I hope The 100 participates in the next Honda Battle of the bands. They were truly missed.

[@Rapture11968]

it still amazes me how FAMU's drumline is so massive but only has 4 cymbals players... mind-boggling

[@garyhammons3113]

And just those 4 sound like 12.

[@aronthompson5671]

Maybe the band director feels thats all they need

[@unknownperson993]

Aron Thompson it is very difficult to be a cymbal player at famu, everyone can’t do what famu cymbals do

[@infinitecontent8001]

Bruh, you still haven't assessed the fact is that is the part of the 100 who was deemed well enough to take the field.

[@KnightofAntiquity]

The Death March doesn't refer to what you think. FAMU marches must do perfect high knees. Its called The Slow One. AKA the Death March because interval between the steps decreases significantly and you have to keep a perfect stance on one leg, without falling, and carrying you instrument... which can be especially difficult for the Marchers with heavier instruments whose weight hangs on one side of their body.

Rattler for life

[@bernie7044]

Those kids do not get the credit they deserve. I'll take it a step further and say no college band gets the credit they deserve. The hours upon hours these kids put in is something that is to be admired and respected. For anybody to make negative comments is just plain rude, ugly, and distasteful. I'm originally from NW Florida and I spent a lot of time in Tallahassee. My dream was to play baseball at FAMU but I ended up going elsewhere. These kids would be practicing in rain, the cold, the heat, you name it. I'm talking Florida heat in the mid to high 90s and then we add in the humidity. I played sports my entire life but there is nothing more brutalizing than standing in the heat. At least in sports we are running to get a breeze. They get nothing. It's hard enough to do that Death March without an instrument. It is really sad that people cannot actually just enjoy they efforts and dedication it took for each of these kids to even be a part of this band. I'm not a band guy. I don't have any experience on any musical instrument. These kids need to know how special they are and how big their accomplishment truly is. That is any band at that level. Sure some are better than others but people just take things like this for granted. We are talking 100 or so kids, that's it. The odds of even making these teams are almost impossible. Unlike a lot of people, I love marching bands of all kinds. It doesn't matter the school nor if the band is predominantly white or black, respect and love one another for the accomplishment they have made. These bands, all of them are a special gift and I wished people would see this instead of being negative. I have been in Stadiums all over and seen many bands but not to be biased, The Marching 100 is something special to behold. But so is Texas A&M, Southern University, Florida State, the list goes on. Only an idiot judges a band by some bs political construct. Enjoy it why we have because we will certainly lose this if people do not wake up to the rruth.
