FAMU | Marching In vs Southern 2021

[@theone148]

I am just so impressed with the amount of communication to get over 200 people to move together, adjust to situations( the small road and the bus, and other obstacles in the way ) anddddddd play a instrument, andddddd not f**k up... I can't get a family of three on the same page for nothing in my house. hahah

During the 60's when I attended High School, I played in our school's marching band. We admired FAMU's marching style . At the time, our High School Band had the Best Drum line in the state bar none! I also remember years ago , the President of France personally requested FAMU to perform during France's Basitille Day celebration. FAMU was the only marching band from the USA invited to perform.

I was blessed to march for one of the grestest h.s. marching bands in S.C. Our director was a FAMU grad & transformed us into a miniature FAMU in the 80s. We did all of those cadences, and to this very day, when I hear them my feet start moving!

Are you talking about Burke High School

[@DrKevinLMoore]

As a collective, God gave us the greatest equalizers of rhythm, singing, dancing, style, and the undeniable ability to impact culture. Therefore, we cannot be stopped!!!

[@TheKissyfer]

I love how the Flag Corps leads the band. You don't see that a lot...usually the drum majors that lead in, sometimes the dance team.

[@kidd5952]

Gives me chills, hearing the beginning cadence aka "1/5" .... Playing that in high school, and adventuring on and becoming a WILDCAT, this Was and Still is my favorite cadence. The mechanism in this cadence is so on point, especially the breakdown at 49 second 😍 when played right, by none other than the "Z", from the 100 💯💪🏾. Great job 100 Continue to Strike 🐍

[@sfedrickbridges]

Even though I attended another HBCU, I have always been a marching 100 fan.

That cadence is called "Parade" & its by far the best cadence in HBCU history!!💯

I like how at the end when they cut off southern band is warming up but it sounds like before a show fades to black when something dramatic happens or something. Then they just hold the last note out as the camera cuts off. How perfect.

[@kennethmatthews6420]

I thought FAMU band was called the marching 100. What I heard was the marching 100. But what I seen was the marching 11. 6 flags and 5 drum majors. All the members of the band and in the majority of the video is the DM flags or dancers. There needs to be more individuals recording and editing that features the whole band. All the band works to be good. It’s a disappointment that everyone that puts in work isn’t featured. I mean each section should be featured.

[@kingw1280]

I’m not a Fam fan but if you know about marching bands they were the biggest always have been and tables turn. If you keep up their house was cleaned out a few yrs back then of course Covid hit.

[@alal1529]

Tradition is holding the Marching 100 back. They need to innovate and improve. Sound quality also needs improvement. You could be so much more impressive and it’s really a shame that such a legacy hbcu band can’t embody how black culture is ever evolving, trailblazing, and setting the next trend.

[@Etpsenior7ohFoe]

I feel you but I want them to get their numbers back and that bold sound of chords with volume and just a better crunkmix book! PLEASE! Lol

[@MansaBC]

What do they need to innovate in when HBCU band culture is FAMU? Almost everything as a HBCU band culture developed on the patch. Please don’t tell me you believe they need to play as loud as they can blasting their instruments, picking up more Hip-Hop songs that are poor constructed and pick up weak cadences. Sorry, but that shit is not innovative. And gets no respect in the larger band world.

[@alal1529]

@@MansaBC what the he|| are you talking about? Clearly you have no imagination if that’s what you thought innovation means. All those assumptions and all you did was waste your time saying absolutely NOTHING that was a great idea.

[@alal1529]

@@Etpsenior7ohFoe while the numbers are low they need to perfect some things, like sound quality, moving as a single unit in some cases, trying new things while they can manage them without all the bloated volume.
