That part fam I love the deacon bands but all the keys u named and playing loud just doesn’t out due family who plays clear

JSU sound is so full and I love how their arrangement has so much spice and energy. An AWESOME job! FAMU sound good as well.

No body realize that JSU been playing that version of Tina Turner as far back as 2011 and I love it

FAMU has such a rich and full sound. And they’re getting bigger and stronger with each season.

Right now..... low key... Jackson States version of "What's love got to do with it" is in my top 5 of the year already!

ok that tina turner was fire. hbcu's got to remember when our legends die we need to pay homage to them. i hope to hear more people playing her music this season she earned it

Good job famu, welcome to the SWAC good job🎼🎼🎺🎺🎷🎷🎶🎶🔊🔊🎵🎵👍🏼👍🏼

FAMU sounds wonderful, as they always do. The Boom is sounding fabulous, as they always do… I think it’s lost on the younger folks (under 40) to just enjoy the music, instead of critiquing every iota. It’s an unrealistic expectation to think all of our bands are gunna sound the same. Each has its own style and grooves in its own way. It’s been 33 years since I marched in the Boom, and I’ve stopped giving Ls and Ws.. it’s wasted energy… Just enjoy the music, yall. FAMUs arranging and instrumentation is masterful on that you hear every voice, especially the woodwinds. The 100 reminds me of how Valley sounded in the 70s and 80s under Dr. Tramiel. Nobody sounded like Valley back then and nobody tried to. And they were fabulous.

People seem to gravitate towards JSU because of their volume. Most bands in the SWAC appear to blow with all their might. It’s like they are blowing their lungs out. The low brass can only blow a note or two before having to breathe. That’s not musical. FAMU has musicians in their band. Symphonic, Concert, ensemble and solo quality musicians. They are not trying to rupture their lungs or lips. Their arranger is one of the finest in the nation. Now while I enjoy the HBCU band experience, never forget that FAMU is the Standard that all others continue to mimic.

In the world of college marching bands, one ensemble stands head and shoulders above the rest, not just for their extraordinary musical talent but also for their infectious personality and rich history. Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the electrifying FAMU Marching 100! Imagine a sea of vibrant uniforms, pulsating rhythms, and a wall of sound that shakes the very ground beneath your feet. That's the magic of the FAMU Marching 100, a band that brings excitement wherever they go. Their performances are nothing short of spectacular, a dazzling display of musical prowess and showmanship that leaves audiences in awe. Now, when we say musical talent, we mean it in the most mind-blowing way possible. The FAMU Marching 100 doesn't just play music; they bring it to life. With each note, you can feel the passion, dedication, and sheer talent oozing from every instrument. Their precision is legendary, and their ability to tackle complex musical arrangements with flair and finesse is second to none. When they hit the field, you can bet your bottom dollar you're in for a sonic treat like no other. But what truly sets the FAMU Marching 100 apart is their horn power. Oh, those horns! When the brass section gets going, it's like a thunderstorm of sound that sweeps you off your feet. The saxophones wail, the trumpets blare, and the trombones rumble, creating a symphony of power that's impossible to resist. It's not just music; it's an adrenaline rush, a sonic rollercoaster that takes you on a thrilling ride. However, it's not just about the music with the FAMU Marching 100; it's about the personality they bring to the game. These talented musicians aren't content with just playing their instruments; they want to engage and entertain. Their shows are a spectacle of high-energy dance moves, creative formations, and infectious enthusiasm. You can't help but get caught up in the sheer joy they exude on the field. They're not just a band; they're a force of nature! FAMU MARCHING 100. Photo: FAMU FAMU MARCHING 100. Photo: FAMU Now, let's talk about that rich history. The FAMU Marching 100 has a legacy that spans decades, a story filled with triumphs, challenges, and moments that have defined the marching band world. They've performed at Super Bowl halftime shows, presidential inaugurations, and even the Olympics. Their music has transcended borders, bringing people from different walks of life together in a celebration of rhythm and melody. They've been pioneers, pushing the boundaries of what a marching band can achieve. But it's not just their accomplishments that make their history rich; it's the passion and dedication of the generations of musicians who have been a part of this extraordinary ensemble. Each member adds to the tapestry of the Marching 100's legacy, ensuring that the flame of musical excellence and excitement never dims. In conclusion, the FAMU Marching 100 is not just a marching band; they are an experience. Their exciting performances, unmatched musical talent, horn power that can move mountains, infectious personality, and rich history make them a true gem in the world of college bands. They don't just play music; they create magic, and when you witness their performances, you become a part of that magic. So, if you ever get the chance to see the FAMU Marching 100 in action, don't miss it. Prepare to be exhilarated, entertained, and utterly amazed by this legendary band that continues to redefine what it means to march to the beat of your own horn!
