FAMU vs Norfolk - MEAC/SWAC Challenge Band Jamboree

[@bjproductions944]

Although this is MEAC vs. SWAC I still see it as MEAC vs. MEAC. Both bands sound great.

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.

[@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.

[@Antonio_Barrino]

They’re doing well. Hell this is no different from anyone else. Who gone go for broke before we got a whole game?
