Can we please show love to the camera person on field doing a excellent job. I know that has to be a difficult job because you not only have to know the songs and field routine, but you have to be dedicated in keeping time because it looks like his movement could potentially get a member out of place and step. Kudos I'm watching!

As a former MARCHING 100 band member, GREAT first performance. See you guys in MIAMI!!! BE SAFE....

Their balance, phrasing, and tone are already good, and it's ONLY AUGUST! Those qualities, along with the pitch center, will only get better. The band directors are doing some teaching down there in Tally.

Chipman (overall band sound) and Ralph (Tuba section) those two there are the two individuals in my opinion that leads the Marching100…. Without any one of them two, the band might not be where they are, especially Chipman, we’ve seen what he could do on a high school level back in the days

That sound just keeps getting stronger! Had to watch the show a few times. They did a lot in that drill. Overall not bad 100. I expect more things to come. Keep it up! 🐍 🐍 🐍 💯

I've said for many years that marching bands should play like an orchestra, providing outstanding shows in musical harmony. The accolades of the Marching 100 are impressive, outstanding shows displaying their virtuoso qualities, unique sound and done without a burlesque show. Impressive!

Micro famu sounds sooooo good……keep it up guys

I can't say it enough, but FAMU plays to a high standard. They're not professionals (I know some of them play professional gigs though), but they try to play professionally! The arrangements are high IQ, with colorful chords, countermelodies, progressions, transitions and outros! A shoutout goes to the mellos and saxes on those countermelodies on Soon As I Get Home. Saxes, I hear you holding down those chords in the 1st verse! Continue to keep your musical standards HIGH, and ignore these musically ignorant folk out there that probably never been in honor band, or only learned 4 major scales.

@@anthonyantoniohughes1184 now that you say that, I do recall a very similar review I’ve made before about their field and how folks hype them. But their saving grace was their sound and marching abilities. They’re relatively clean and overall relatively a well-constructed show from beginning to end despite where else they’ve done similar. I virtually HATE those lil rotations they do. But what I hate worse are bands that think they doin stuff by spelling words the whole show. AND the ones that’ll ignore lines, patterns, and synchronicities to form a picture, (E.G. TNST and FAMU). That’s basic.

2023 PepsiCo National Battle of the Bands rankings: A very disappointing show from the Marching 100 had a lackluster outing at the NBOTB. Several people pointed out the band members appeared exhausted, and the movement was out of sorts. Perhaps it was because the Rattlers were the last band to play at the NBOTB, but the legendary Dr. Foster wouldn't stand for this show. They will rebound.
