FAMU Marching Band - 2019 Tournament of Roses Parade

[@wandabradley8358]

It’s so good to read all of the positive comments from other HBCU, this is a time we should congratulate Famu and Alabama State and the HBCU drumline we can wait for football season for bragging rights. Proud of these students today, they have been representing Florida, Tallahassee, Leon County, alumni’s through the country. #FAMU proud

[@justinjackson3623]

Sorry ASU sounds really bad and made the SWAC look like a Dancer back up band

[@raymondweaver8526]

I marched at Rutgers University in the 80s. HBCU have a different style that is entertaining. FAMU sounds great here

[@divineappointment3178]

The 100 sounds amazing from the deep bottom of the brass to the sweet melodies of the woodwinds and the xrisp cleanliness of the percussion. Simply the best! #FAMULY #STRIKINGFROMTHETOP #COLAC #RATTLERNATION

[@haweygs]

1970s ASU alum here. I was up shakin’ it to the cadence at minute 11:10. Couldn’t sit down on that groove. Glad my band was there too! The Stingettes made me wish I could go back in time and be a Stingette. They looked good. My brother is a JSU alum and former Sonic Boom member. I would LOVE to see JSU do their Get Ready stadium entrance in the Rose Bowl parade!

[@henrydunn8413]

As an HBCU graduate and BCU alumnus, I applaud FAMU and Mr Gerald Freeney for representing HBCU's. Side note: Much respect to my former student, DM Marquell Bowen, Carol City High School. Chiiiiiieeeefffffpppprrriiiiddddeee.

Having marched this parade I understand the work this group put in to be so prepared! This band deserves much respect! They looked and sounded good at the beginning and still looked good this far into the parade route. Great job!!

Everytime I see one of these amazing *HBCU* marching bands it always upset me that this excellence is not mirrored in our HBCU football and basketball teams. I wish more (if not most) of our top black high school athletes would choose Universities like *Florida A&M, Alabama State, Southern* etc instead of Alabama, Oklahoma, Clemson etc. There is no reason why the HBCUs should not be the gold standard in College sports especially *Football Basketball and Track* These Universities are so underfunded, and so under appreciated by our own people.
