didnt know our bands did dance routines back then! shout out to FAMU and all HBCU bands!

[@brandonlalarkins4435]

Oh yes indeed and FAMU started that after Dr Foster got there in 1946 when he made up a routine to Alexander's Ragtime Band and it took off from there..

This is why we loved FAMU: I was in TSU AOB that year and FAMU won the halftime show in Nashville with the execution of the Death March! They were EXCELLENT; I still talk about that performance 🔥🔥🔥❤️

[@johnwatkins1944]

This video is a clinic on how to hit those 90s!! Marching excellence!

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

Halftime was my favorite part of the game back in the day. I'm almost in tears listening to this lovely show and recognizing the songs. At 62 I truly miss the old days. Seems we had class back then. THIS WAS MARVELOUS!!!! ❤

[@funkenstein151]

The 100...still innovators of our craft!!

[@Sgraddick]

Amazing indeed! This is the standard we all sought after. Intensity in the Rattler! Deliberateness & urgency in the movements. Clarity of sound. It doesn't get any better than this. Hubba Hundred!

[@sociallychallenged5963]

Nonstop drills, they didnt stop for one drill, it was constant moving, and the lines were straight and even. OMG EVERYBODY RATTLING IN STEP..HARD TO DO. Wow I appreciate old school even more. Hubba Hundred #96

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

I totally agree with you.

The 2 elite HBCU bands of the 60s and 70s was FAMU 100 and Grambling under the direction of Conrad Hutchinson

Even though this was the Patriots-Dolphins game on Nov 30, 1969, it was held at the old Tampa Stadium, back when the Tampa Bay area was serious about getting a pro football team. Notice that the stadium itself had no end zone seating, and would not until the NFL granted Tampa Bay a team in 1974, which led to construction of the end zone seats in time for the Bucs to start play in '76. NBC's Charlie Jones was the commentator on this game, in which the Patriots beat the Dolphins 38-23.

Hubba Old School Hundred!!!

[@lindajeff9346]

Every Hbcu followed Dr Foster to the best of their ability😢

[@edwardhall184]

The 100 was working on a groovin thing! Hubba Old School! Bishop A.J. Richardson was Head DM! Sarge was out there handling things! It was shows like this that truly laid the groundwork for the band to be exposed to a larger audience that led to greater success of the bands of the 70’s, 80’s and beyond! Again I say, HUBBA!

[@RobertWilliams-ts6cs]

A.J. Richardson was gone in 1969, my freshman year in the Hundred.

[@tonyclark539]

@@RobertWilliams-ts6cs yo Rob what did you play..I was a freshman also ..tony clark ..david negre from st.pete was the section leader

[@blast4me754]

This makes me realize us who started viewing FAMU back in the 90's, 2000's and 2010 aren't special because FAMU were already doing some of their special stuff way back then like the beginning entrance song.

What a legacy Dr. Foster left, we briefly met him when , circa 1978 , (the band sent an group down, we didn’t hav money to bring our band, HBCU STUFF)NCA&TSU played them during the time 60 minutes was doing a documentary of FAMU , Anyway ,,,, doing show charts and pin wheels etc. bk in the ‘60s. Does anyone know the true history of how the Slow one was created? Would be a interesting video because that is how a band should TAKE THE FIELD in HBCU marching band language, I hate to see a band enter the field just walking on it,, no Style or class to me, when we took the field @ NCA&TSU bk in the mid 70’s, it meant something, because at that time our football team would lose a lot, but the DAM Band wasn’t gonna lose crap, we took that personal, And it was fun, so honor the marching bands and institutions you are with. Pick your feet up, play your part, and drive , was our motto.. thank you FAMU and Dr. William P. Foster. Have fun and enjoy yourselves young folk because time flys when ya having fun, and stay humble, arrogance is not cool with me, if you are good you really don’t need to belittle or degrade the next,,most of the folk I’m talking about in comments probably never played a instrument anyway, let along sweated and bleed marching band, but it is a Rush!

[@robertridley9279]

I wish they wouldn't have done so many camera cuts so that we could actually see the formations
