FAMU Marching 100 and UNC Marching Tar Heels joint halftime show

The FAMU Marching 100 performed an electric joint halftime show with the UNC Marching Tar heels and we were on the field as both bands cranked out a legendary show.

UNC building a tradition. They did this with NCA&T a couple of years ago.

[@josephmelton5302]

It's great to see a halftime show like this. Goes to show that the major college have rhythm too

[@KevinJonessuprq87]

@@josephmelton5302 Most bands have some sense of rhythm; it's mandatory to play an instrument. I'll give UNC credit for stepping out of their comfort zone, but they're not ready to go solo with this kind of show AT ALL.

As a former MARCHING 100 band member it was special to see 2 bands from 2 different cultures playing together! We are all one at the end of the day!!! MUCH RESPECT to the University of North Carolina for allowing this to happen!!!

i prefer to see HBCU bands perform together… if it makes sense. Every day i’m reminded that we are not one at the end of the day… don’t be fooled

[@Prince_BNice]

@@dirtysprite6312 My thoughts exactly. If we were all one, Europeans wouldn't be trying so hard to get us to act like, take their standards of beauty, believe as they do, and do as they do. We are different and that should've always been respected. Much respect to both bands that show although we are different, we can move as one. It starts with Respect 🙏🏾

[@gloriadulan-wilson1076]

As awesome as it was to have the two bands together - the cameraman was either an amateur or white - because everyone knows you can't see the true formation of a marching band's halftime show unless you are taking it from and ariel view. They were doing some wonderful footwork - and some great choreographic moves - but they were missed because the camera was taking it from the ground view - and I'll bet those students worked hard rehearsing for that half time. Do you know if anyone else got shots of the band from the bleachers or from one of the sky boxes? Would really love to see those.
