FAMU vs Southern - 2019 National BOTB

[@Lakechalakin]

Yes Famu give us the cinematics and musicality on Earth Wind and Fire . Hubba! Side note , What people fail to realize is Famu isn’t going to break their classic sound , style or tradition just to battle Southern or any other band. There’s a way to enjoy both bands respectfully for their qualities they bring to the table .

[@portcitypizzle]

Germ D agreed

[@thatsseauxnish_]

Agreed; but a battle is a battle. Can’t stay with the ‘tradition’ all the time. Gotta bring the Heat.

[@Lakechalakin]

Danisha I can see where you’re coming from , there are times I wonder how it would be if Famu got in battle mode but that comes with understanding that tradition is hard to break there. Even with them not having dancers , they won’t break on that tradition either . What I will say is back in the early 2000s I remember when FAMU played southern and they battled. Those were some games to be at ! Lol

[@sociallychallenged5963]

@@Lakechalakin you explained it very well but they won't understand if they dont know were Da 100 come from, as I once stated; Southern is now what FAMU HAS DONE. DA 100 is modified and has new and different intentions. We been there done that, and old footage of these two band are documented from the past. If they check out FAMU AT SOUTHERN 1996 they will understand. Lol.

[@Lakechalakin]

Socially Challenged righttttt , they went at it that year !!! But now a days most of these new “band heads “ want to hear rap tunes and all that matters to them is who is louder. Man I miss the days when Morris Brown was around , the old school Norfolk , Famu, BCU etc . Those bands were the epitome of musicianship . But like I said , I have equal respect for Swac bands Meac / Siac etc. They all have different traditions and bring something different to the table . No need for me to be biased. I’m just happy to see band programs are still thriving at most HBCUs.

[@regwllms]

Two totally different styles of Bands, but you have appreciate both because neither deviates from their identity. FAMU is more of a symphonic band and SU is more of a Power Show Band. Both are great at what they do and year in year out, they both set high standards that many other bands try to follow. Glad to see FAMU back on our schedule for the next two years.

[@dr.d-i-t9227]

This debate has been around for decades. Even when they were around 400, FAMU would never break their musicality barrier just to impress Southern or anyone else with volume. It just won't happen.

[@cccsss9010]

FAMU’s precision, pristine clear sound and fundamentals are unmatched. It’s breathtaking. Southern’s sound is too muffled and unclear, but love all of our HBCUs and marching band. 🖤

Loud doesn’t equal “Good/ Better” and Loud Doesn’t Automatically Mean “Bad” or Horrible tone quality either. That narrative is has ran its course. Both bands did what they are both known for and stayed true to their own traditions. It all boiled down to what style you prefer. I preferred SU’s sound which is why i chose to audition and be a part of that program. FAMU was good too though

[@rayzeusmusic]

Socially Challenged brah in all honesty I’ve played in bands that had both styles... it is 16547 times more difficult to play swac style arrangements than Meac style... the reason why they aren’t as loud is simply because they play everything mid register while swac plays everything up an octave which takes way more control and better trained lips... so this “musicians play like blah blah” shit y’all be saying is literally a shitty excuse... all the sorry people at my highschool went to famu/bcu while our best musicians went to all swac schools

[@JustAGrl007]

That part! SU horns are doing too much and it's muddling the sound. FAMU has improved the sound these last few years. I could clearly tell the song 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@darellebentley4249]

I wish people would stop trying to justify Florida A&M against Southern University. Southern University has been playing the same style since the DOC DAYS. And please stop saying that southern just plays loud if you know anything about music and the arrangements behind Southern University you would know that it all goes back to the NOLA ALL BRASS BANDS SOUND

[@terrellwalker11]

OMG! FAMU sounds GREAT!!!

[@DBerry757]

Both bands achieved their goal. SU played loud whole and half notes while playing those notes in unison to crank. On the other hand Famu played balanced dynamic music with a high level of precision and technicality. Both goals met and one is just far superior music quality while the other is straight speakers blasting at 10.

[@arthurfernande5305]

Derrick Berry true but I can’t totally agree... we are know what Southern is capable of even with them cranking on this video... let’s not be silly act like this band can’t and haven’t completed on all levels year in and year out...

[@DBerry757]

Arthur Fernande Southern has a very specific platform just as Fam does. These schools marching programs aim for very different targets and both hit their target. Neither can out perform the other based on their intended skill set.

[@rayzeusmusic]

Half notes and whole notes??? Southern arrangements are consistently a thousand times more difficult than famu arrangements... I’ve played both types and trust me it’s not even close

[@Bmillz95]

Or it’s like listening to r&b instead of rap...

[@el_lenny5004]

I See A Lot of people making the same dumb argument so ima just sit this right here.➡️ And if you disagree let's discuss... Its not just because they're loud they're better. Yall are trying to combat an argument that no one who really knows what SU is about is making. Why is that so hard for stuck ups to understand? I'll put it this way: SU can do what Famu does. You can clearly hear what every section at SU is playing even though they play for power and entertainment. They have a clean balanced sound. But they're also powerful and can still be controlled and precise at all the same time, WHILE playing interesting and difficult arrangements and displaying musicality. BUT Let Famu try to crank up and see how fast that good sound goes out the window...(i.e. you can hear Famu trumpets struggling with tone quality on "Look back at it" as soon as they play those highlight notes by themselves) It takes lip strength AND musicianship to do what SU does the way they do it.

[@Bmillz95]

el_Lenny 500 if they southern can play complex chords in a lower volume, why not keep that same sound when they crank the volume?? Why are dynamics and intonation lost when SU goes anything about Mezzo forte? Lol if they’re truly an all around band,. They would be able to carry their symphonic sounds over to their marching band style and keep the same sound. You can CLEARLY hear every Insturment in FAMU’s band...

[@el_lenny5004]

@@Bmillz95 I'm confused. Are you saying you cant hear all voices and chords when they play loud? That sounds like a personal problem, Because I can hear every part. And why do they have to carry a symphonic band sound over to marching band? That's why they have a symphonic band and a marching band. 2 completely different animals which call for completely different approaches. But the short answer is: The main goal during a football game is to entertain and move the crowd. Who's better at entertaining? Numbers don't lie

[@gordonclark9893]

What SU "CAN do" and "IS DOING" are two different things. 2000 proved FAMU can do what SU is doing as well. Appreciate both. They're sticking to traditions.

[@rsmith723]

For anyone who has ever played any instrument understands that music is omnidirectional and 3 D. Music has multiple layers and is meant to entertain and stimulate your mind. For those of you who know how to read music and understand arrangements, if you are honest with yourself you will know that one of these bands are in violation of everything you were taught in music 101. I’ll just leave this right here.

Do you know the definition of the term versatile? Famu has no versatility... no soul... no sense of feel with their arrangements... southern is the epitome of versatile and if you really believe famu with their 8th grade arrangements is versatile then you don’t know music at all... and every instrument has a role... just because famu likes their trombones to play the melody doesn’t mean it’s right... do you hear tubas playing the counter melody? Or trumpets playing the bass line?? Exactly... 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ all that does is make the band sound empty without the trombones playing chords in the background... hence why famu and bcu arrangements have all these empty gaps in it...

It boggles my mind to read comments of “musically” inclined people continually justifying that louder is the new better! NOW I am always entertained by Southern and alllllllll SWAC programs. I am also entertained by MEAC and SIAC schools as well. You just have to switch up your mind set when you click on the clip, or pay your money to see them in person. One is not better than the other, they are just different. And FAMU is never going to get into a shouting match with anyone. Same goes for other bands such as Tennessee State. When Southern goes at it with another SWAC school it just sounds like a regular conversation, but when they go rounds with others.....it conveys as shouting. At the same time anyone who says the Southern is not musically superior is a fool. Anyone with discerning ears can hear all parts being played. But again, u have to tune ya brain to listen to it. But to the average person I can see how louder equals better...... it doesn’t. Louder is just more energetically pleasing for the lesser of intellect.

[@joshsingleton8242]

[@ashton602]

[@sinful-killa3491]

Humanjukebox is going 2 slaughter famu

[@ashton602]

IVORY YOUNG on gang they don’t want it with the jukes

[@toryjei9435]

Slaughter HOW? Dont even answer

[@portcitypizzle]

Bandgeek 2020 it’s no murder, these are two totally different styles of play! While I certainly love SWAC, played in SWAC, it’s good to have a Famu or NCA&T bringing different sounds.

[@ashton602]

Headquartersla I like ncat a lil better tho cause they atleast bring the heat on a couple songs but fam is good too

[@sbwos]

,wtf did southern even play

[@mdnls091]

FAMU can blow, but something’s off.

[@GVocalz3]

[@QJayTheProducer]

Trumpets

[@marionmarion6852]

blow what? a fly?

[@xXPerryHotterXx]

Why would FAMU agree to a gym battle with these cats🤦🏻‍♂️ Massacre waiting to happen..

[@adrianjackson6207]

Nope ...because their contrast in styles will get people thinking ....when famu plays ballads or marches ...and sounthern replies with another hip hop tune or ballad that doesn’t sound good ...then what ??.....what will FAMU,”’s response be to the raw power ??

[@sbwos]

Sorry but su does not have to blast every damn song. Every song is not a power song.

[@cornellleak6377]

i need to see THE CAPTAIN FROM LAST SEASON ...IT WAS SHADE ....GAB.....DID HER THING...THIS LADY GIVE ME DRY...JUST LOOK GAB STILL GIVE ME LEADING LADY

[@imbored8306]

NOASB Arrangement is better

[@bone749]

I read the comments famu wont break tradition SU is what famu use to be they even saying famu came and brought the pain to su back in the day. Lets see is the talking when the police wouldn't let su play and speaking on tradition what the fuck u think we been doing. famu back in the day was just alot of people on the field jumping splits and fast dancing. You dont have to like it but fact and truth is what it is. SU The 9th wonder of the 🌎..... Jukegang Jukegang

[@kkirwa1437]

Famu > southern

[@chazmiller2781]

😂😂😂😂 wait a minute! Famu has the audacity to play "look back at it" after NOASB then put they stamp on that heaux??? Oh and by the way Southern smashed y'all Rhythm and Soul ass

[@areyouserious7151]

🤣🤣🤷🏾‍♂️FAMU doesn't even have soul it's like unseasoned chicken

[@229georgiamade8]

This inside battle is not in their favor -_-

[@sinful-killa3491]

It's not in famu favor at all trying to battle the Humanjukebox in any environment.

[@marauderman2]

I truly respect ShowtimeWeb but I hate these camera angles. Can we not show the entire band?????

[@jeremywitherspoon2316]

FAMU needs a dance program 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@sociallychallenged5963]

Never that will never happen, it was originated with one and they will never get one!

[@ohagiiman8985]

Oh please no

[@docwoc7903]

I will always be DA 100's biggest fan (grew up with this awesome legacy). Unfortunately, this is NOT the FAMU Band I remember. I will agree that they had the best field show overall. So now.....here goes my honest opinion.....These young people on the flag corps are out of shape and an utter embarrassment. Personally, I would like to see them get a dance team (FL has the prettiest, well trained dancers). Unfortunately, today's college kids' minds are bombarded with "social media reality" that makes for a less disciplined college kid and band member. What FAMU was built on will NEVER return as a solid foundation of the greatest marching band tradition/legacy. They will have to change their tradition (never will happen because of the god-like respect for the GREAT Dr. William P. Foster). They are slowly moving into obscurity with the changing times. The SWAC bands are feasting on FAMU's lack of adaptability and focus on their tradition. I love FAMU and the band (my favorite), but their mass appeal and reverence as the BEST are only memories now!

[@raynelson5546]

FAMU STILL APPEALS TO THE MAJORITY OF THE REAL MUSICIANS THAT KNOW HOW REAL MUSIC/MUSICIANS SHOULD SOUND. Some bands have dumbed the game down to a blast festival, cranking, pushing your face through the bell. To make up for THE LACK BAND PAGEANTRY, REAL HALFTIME SHOWS AND A QUALITY SOUND. The world isn't fooled by the noise they've forced on their SWAC FANS. The difference will be clear when they are exposed to the INCOMPARABLE MARCHING 💯 SOUND. LOUD AF AIN'T THE ANSWER. Yes indeed the Flag Corp has to step up to the FAMU STANDARDS, 12 - 14 physically fit members (no excuses). But the band over-all is steps above the blasting. Read the comments, most people know the deal.

[@yungm498]

The only reason you can’t understand SU is because they’re in a stadium and loud asf. Famu isn’t loud which is why they seem more clear. Don’t do southern lol.

[@J-Nupe]

Famu done....smh

[@Sagacious_X]

All the FAMU fans I’m the comment section talkin bout wE dOn’t pLaY loUD ok and???? Like y’all be putting people to sleep in the stands at least get some up to date music it’s not the 90’s anymore like omg ITS SO LAME and look at y’all color guard WACK!😑

[@atlboo98]

I think famu may be the most overrated band in the history of college bands. Everytime I see them they are getting destroyed. Just a big boring ass band.

[@areyouserious7151]
