I’m so glad you used another media team on this one. I’m a SU fan!!! However Fam Fans have been talking about how they think Garrett was doctoring the footage to make SU sound louder. What’s the excuse now??? Great Footage Marching Sport!!!

I'm not sure if he edits it to sound louder but both bands each week sound louder on different videos.

My personal preference is FAMU’s sound. I like being able to hear every instrument as opposed to just a few. FAMU doesn’t have to change its style, neither does Southern! They are completely different styles. If you are waiting for FAMU to sound like Southern… you gonna be waiting forever.

FAMU is one of the CLEANEST bands on Earth!! They have a symphonic sound with power behind it. These two bands have met in the past, last time being in 2019 - and their battles are ALWAYS worth it. One thing though, if you don't like marches FAMU is not for you.

[@Mellayist]

I am with you on that, especially when they are played in "HD" Southern is all about turning of the volume. They intend to blow every band out the stadium, and they do.

[@kimkirby1193]

Like we have to tell everybody that does not know FAMU’s tradition...the first song was not even part of the 5th quarter. It’s one of our fight songs after a win and when they let the Head Coach come up and conduct. Also, FAMU does not and has never had dancers. That’s the Flag Corp you see in front of the band. You really do have to go and do real research about FAMUs style and traditions.

Horse jockey come out and do the funky worm, touch helmet on ground, pancake off the field 2. Same 2 step drill, and the sou d disappears 3. Block band with P-Valley girls performance 4.

Leave that excuse out of the battle. This is a perfect example of famu not battle ready nor knows how to battle. Famu fans can bring all excuses but famu can't hide the fact that its not battle ready. Everyone knows swac bands excell st stands and meac excell at field shows. So why is it so hard for famu fans to admit the obvious. Pride is a b##ch.

Not taking any credit from Greg’s but them damn trumpets ain’t never been enough for Fam in the 90s late 80s. Greg’s built that program to standerd in like 93 94 and they fell off in the late 90s.

Musicians of what? SU sucks at playing ballads. They suck and playing marches. There percussion section plays beginning band stuff. They are always out of tune. But as long as they are playing the current Hip Hop songs as loud as they can that means good? Y’all can that. Considering Hip Hop is made from beats that are looped. Which explains southern easy arrangements full of half notes. No musicians takes SU serious. Which is why they have yet to gain any marching band awards from the marching band establishment.

KB, maybe I’m misunderstanding what you are saying but why wouldn’t other SWAC bands need to change their style because they changed conferences? A lot of people are saying they need to change but this is who they are.

[@wellsincewerehere773]

Sometimes and this is just my opinion or analogy! Sometimes you have to adapt but remain who u are at the core like the movie drum line he had to not forget who he was but realize what they could be. They play well but not soulfully so. Musicianship comes from emotions not knowing all the scales, notes, or reading music. It’s the emotion that’s poured into it. That’s the main reason when the pwi marched on field with sheet music I was like ugh. We learn music then bring it to life. Not saying famu uses music but hopefully u get the point of why change is necessary not compromising

[@rooseveltb9892]

@@wellsincewerehere773 great analogy and I truly understand what you are saying but that doesn’t answer my question regarding other SWAC bands going to another conference. Tennessee State, NCA&T and Hampton are not in an HBCU conference but they remain true to who they are. The main thing that is being said is that FAMU needs to change because if they don’t, they are going to get cranked on every weekend. I’m probably in the minority but I enjoy both playing styles. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference.

FAMU is a PWI marching band. Mr.Taylor is a man of the CHURCH, a peaceable man, but I think POWER is for SLAUGHTERING the competition. It has no other purpose. It's not even for CRANKING like a Simmons Both Sides or Tourist. POWER is about devastation...wiping out Yosemite even.

[@KBThaBandhead]

I can tell.

[@Flavaflav555]

Power is easily one of my favorite arrangements from the jukebox EVER, it really shows that Taylor is nothing to play with. The other directors are also starting to become a problem, especially Todd, he just had a few misses this season but other than that he done proved himself to me.

[@mrbigwill007]

How is FAMU a PWI marching band they created all this we're discussing? You really need to learn your HBCU band history. True indeed FAMU is known for their field shows and dance routine in which MOST HBCUs concentrated on during my time. The 5th Quarter wasn't a big deal until more recent times (2000s) hell you had more Drumline battles. On another note I love when SU plays Power the energy is crazy, but at the same time when they play more complicated songs the volume goes done because you can't just blow. It takes more control breathing when you're doinng constant runs.

[@beaulah_califa9867]

Another FAMU fan reacting to criticism by going off on a tangent about cranking. FAMU sounds bad. How can a black college band be unable to play r&b? Maybe that worked in the MEAC, but in the SWAC people expect some rhythm in their r&b whether it's played whisper quiet or cranked. There's a reason why y'all won that white band award...Sudler.
