The "100" is still the "100." Some things just never change. Fond memories of what happened down on the "patch," and Dr. Foster's famous last words, "Let's do it again, gentlemen!" The "100" was all male back then - just the musicians, no flags or frills. Doc - a.k.a. "the Law" - used to say, "We don't need all that stuff to make our band look good!" I remember the band still on the practice field - a.k.a. "the Patch" - long hours after the football team was already in the cafeteria for dinner. Some of the team used to come down after dinner to watch the "100" practice. I was on that snare drum line in 1968 (my sophomore year), but had to leave FAMU that same year for medical reasons before the season even started. It remains a big part of my foundation even to this day. To this day, the "100" is the most imitated marching band in the world. Does anyone out there remember that the "100" did the half-time show for Super Bowl III in Miami? It was the first Super Bowl officially called "the Super Bowl." They also did the half-time show the last time the Cleveland Browns won a championship (1964). That is when I first saw them (I'm from Cleveland). I could go on...

[@rhowenna1]

Wow! Those young people have it down! Amazing precision, amazing coordination….Band was the only thing that kept me in school during high school, Class of ‘75. I never went to college so I wasn’t able to be part of a team like this! Y’all have a new fan and follower. Thank you for bringing those memories back!

[@othellorenfroe3798]

ATTENDING FAMU FROM 67-71 WERE THE BEST 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE!! THE MARCHING 100 ALWAYS PERFORMED AT A HIGH LEVEL. MANY HAVE ATTEMPTED THEIR STYLE AND PRECISION BUT HAVE COME UP SHORT. I REALLY MISS THE "DEATH MARCH" THEY PERFORMED WHEN ENTERING THE STADIUM!! HOLLA AT ALL MY FAMU ALUMNI

Memories are still strong and one of the things I wish I could've been was FAMU alumni! Love the school and I Love the band! Enjoy your time here guys, you'll remember it for life!

[@EC-jk4wv]

As a graduate of Florida A&M University, class of 1977, the Marching 100💯 is still the standard in Marching bands, period. The combination of sound quality, marching precision and the high bar and legacy set by Dr. Foster still exist today. As they say, often imitatated and never duplicated is the 💯. My nights in Gibbs Hall close the “Patch” were a experience like non other because it was inspiring to see a band with the commitment to excellence be a part of the drive to get my education and graduate. Rattler for life 🐍🐍🐍

[@HelloWorld2B]

I just graduated from SBI at Famu summer ‘20 but I’ve been going to game and watching the band since ‘97 with my dad and my cheerleader outfit. I remember the marching 100 being end zone to end zone, getting penalty after penalty cause the band couldn’t get off the field fast enough lol. Partly because their were soooo many of them but also people would take the bands seats in the stands while they played on the field. People showed up just to see the game. Tallahassee born and raised there is no feeling like football season on the highest of the 7 hills. Take me back….. we’re so lucky we gottem, good times, good timeeeessssss #FAMU #1887 #GoRattlers
