FAMU Marching 100 "Total Praise" (2019)

[@Antonio_Barrino]

There are bands....and then there is FAMU....truly, in a class all their own.

[@Super72dolphins]

(STA) SAY THAT AGAIN !!!! 💯🐍

[@blackLove357]

FAMU & GSU set the standars, of how Middle/Junior High, Senior High and College Bands are supposed to be.

[@terrancesneed3757]

Slow pieces/ballads always expose how attentive bands are to fundamentals(pitch,blend,balance,tone,phrasing). This gave me shades of that old FAMU that could never be outdone on those principles. I hope this is a glimpse of what's to come this season. I can't wait for the slugfest that is sure to take place in Tallahassee when the human jukebox comes to town.

[@Joshua-gv1ep]

terrance sneed southern actually stopped by my high school to warm up on our field and eat that morning on their way to FAMU. That was pretty cool. FAMU still way better tho.

[@jusprazem1]

Famu has always had that unique sound with the strong woodwind emphasis

[@richkane1977]

All I can say is WOW!!!! When the vocals came, you took it to another level! May GOD be glorified!

[@b4real2me]

They always do and always have!!! 🎤🎼🎶

[@naja-day9625]

My God! My God! MY GOD!! THANK YOU!! I Love Marching Bands! 🎷🎺🥁 🎶 and I Love 💗 Gospel Music! 🎶 So this Combination just sent Chills! through my body & soul, God Bless! our young people, and always know "He is the source of our strength and the strength of my/your Life and I lift my Hands in Total Praise to Him! Amen! 💗 💗 💗

[@dalionkeyng3476]

This is how 100 play all of their songs....brass soft enough that the woodwinds can be heard clearly. This style is a gift and a curse

[@SupervillainDW]

FAMU has been known to let loose when they need to.

[@schoolmatters9354]

Never a curse...let true musicianship (balance, intonation and more) heal your soul. Often imitated, never duplicated...the Incomparable Marching 100.

[@richard7930]

And percussions not over the top like most bands, perfectly balanced

[@Tigerwarhawk]

Why is it a curse?

[@StormChaserMarioSmith345]

[@Tboneman35]

This sounds amazing, so rich and balanced. You are even able to hear the clarinets at the end. Great job FAMU!

[@brienjones1129]

Yes

[@KingdomInnovate]

I was hating until I could hear the clarinets at 4:20, and had to admit that's what a real pianissimo should sound like. Bravo famu.

[@brieln6569]

Joshua Mack then don’t be hating until the video is over🙄

[@KingdomInnovate]

Me looking back at this 3 years later. They sound absolutely magnificent ! Wisdom is a powerful teacher. To God be the Glory!

[@sylvesterjohns7968]

THIS BAND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE!

[@NJayDivine]

OMG FAMU..., 😱😱😱😱😱😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤭🤭🤭😇😇😇😇 somebody cutting onions in here.. 🧡💚🧡💚

[@lashondagurley4126]

One of the most beautiful renditions of Total Praise that I have ever heard!

[@ladyaltovise2294]

I'm on this bus , watching a magnificent sunset & listening to this BALL-ING! I had to put on dark shades & turn my face to the window. Didn't want anyone to think something EA's wrong. Blowing my nose & EVERYTHING!!! LOL & to top it off, I clicked on here as a skeptic , cuz AoB will ALWAYS be the band for me. But this Sophisticated Lady must say " YALL DID THAT" Glo-reeeh

[@tashaaal7179]

You all have vocals as well!? Okay then! 🙌🏽

[@ntsememole]

How does one have goosebumps for 4 minutes 28 seconds straight? All I can do is stand and feel every note in this song. My goodness!

[@brandontaylor5980]

I'm at my desk at work...they played that song so well...i almost took up a collection...lol. #HBCU

[@hazeliwildcat]

I must give this one ☝🏾 to you FAMU!!! From a BCC Wildcat former musician, you all sound amazing! I’ve listened to this over 10 times!!! Excellent 🎼 made me dust off my clarinet 🎷🎺🥁

[@AC-ir3od]

I was there when was first played, got goose bumps then and still getting them now. Hubba 💯!

[@gedobean5267]

Im SU all day and i must say, FAMU play this better than all the bands bruh!!

[@msdiva2u147]

Our Band Director was Dr. Williams who attended FAMU God rest his soul. Jesus you are the Center of my Soul is one of my favorite gospel song. Xavier University of LA Gospel Choir sung this at my daughter's graduation.

[@jermalejenkins9084]

[@alecj9570]

I love that Praise song it touches the heart of the mind glory be to the almighty GOD

[@imjustsayin7195]

Just awesome!!! I’m crying in worship right now. I needed this today. It’s amazing how you can feel the anointing through a video. It says a lot about the song and the presentation by this band. Wow!! This was so beautiful to hear. And this wasn’t in a church. Great job to the Band Director and musicians. You blessed me today!!

[@Bham205northside]

The best sounding band I have heard in years. This coming from a Miles Alum

[@OranteFrazier]

Spoken like a real musician. ASU alum here.

[@hudson5506]

WHEN I HEARD THE "MARCHING 100" SING A HYMN IN 1987, WHICH WAS F. A. M.U'S 100TH CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION, I WAS DONE! I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO INTO THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, BUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD HAVE TO WAIT!!!

[@angiebethel9148]

I wrote a comment before but Jesus on high it sounds so good it makes you feel like shouting. I have heard other bands play this same song. I haven't heard any other band play it like the 100. I wake up with this song every day shout out to Professor Lindsey Sarjeant.Thank you for the years where you have produced the best music.

I love it. Waa getting chills while watching this. I'm originally from Miami and was in band in high school in the mid 90's and remember watching Carol City, Miami Central, Miami Norland, North Western and Miami Jackson marching bands and it reminds of FAMU. I always said that there were no other high school marching bands in the state of Florida like Miami ! My opinion. 👍👍

[@angiebethel9148]

Yes and most of them were members of the Marching💯💯💯💯🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@marysneed5701]

As a mother if a former Rattler, I am so glad that this band is learning some chiristan music. Everytime I hear this band play one the songs that have brought some of us parents thru those days when you just question was it worth it? Thanks music Department and leaders of this great band, for keeping our children grounded.
