Some of y'all are being unrealistic in these comments🤔 no way yall expect both these bands to play all they new music when they got 0th and 5th quarter to worry about. Not only that but if you watch the last meac/swac Jamboree those bands also playing old pep band songs. Shoutout to both programs.

Lol, when you're big, you don't need to rupture your eyes trying to "blow" hard as hell. SWAC bands, no offense, be all that brass with the same boring ass field performances. FAMU is known for musicianship, not trying to "outblow" the other band. Nobody wants to play no damn SexyRedd and that other bullshit y'all like shaking ass to.

[@kentrelt5140]

Facts. Mediocre arrangement at best. Sounds great but boring. No excitement or soul in their music. Then when they try to step out of the box it doesn't come off well. However, famu is trying as I can't say the same for BCU. JSU literally ended BCU in 2019 meac/swac and BCU hasn't been the same. Alcorn tagged BCU in 2016 and it's been downhill for BCU.

[@kentrelt5140]

@@raygipson4699 doing fine in the swac but didn't get an invite to any swac botb. Yea u capen. FAMU is neck and neck with bama state when FAMU attempts to step outside of the box. you can tell when FAMU plays a swac band it changes it's style of play to add power and aggression to its arrangement. It just doesn't come off well. A example would be 2023 FAMU vs bama state game. That 5th qtr had several mess ups from both bands. Quite boring.

Highest Quality of CHARACTER, achievement in ACADEMICS, attainment of LEADERSHIP, perfection in MUSICIANSHIP, precision in MARCHING, and dedication to SERVICE. This why niggas can't have phones sometimes, smh. FAMU didn't change to SWAC to blow an eye socket trying to sound louder. They changed because most other SWAC schools are closer in proximity, so it costs a lot less when playing those schools. Trust me, SWAC bands are good...but nowhere compared in MUSICIANSHIP to FAMU. One second FAMU is playing Purple Carnival, the next it's playing Beyonce and throwing in a dance break. Yes, SWAC bands have a different style, BUT it's not standard practice. It literally helps decide what schools play who, smdh. NSU is good, JSU is good, SU is interesting, but none of them can match what FAMU brings.
