i heard all the band in the swac play and famu is by far the best sounding band i have ever heard. famu make an impression on me back in the last seventy when famu played a song name Push. Now over 25 years later nothing has change.
Its funny how all these second rate and below bands have so much to comment about FAMU, but when they see us in person they have nothing to say. Also, CMURDAH84 you are clearly mistaken about NCA&T diggin in our ass in 04 or any year for that matter.
Ok NSU does sound ok I give that to them but the difference is in the quality if you haven't noticed here at FAMU we play using the pyramid concept, build from the basses up unlike NSU the sound of these two bands are different FAMU has a dark rich sound unlike Nsu's thin sound concept and tone not loud and with edge the tapes don't lie look for yourself.
What the hell all these people hollerin' bout FAMU man they arrangement is ass. The have no dynamics, no passion, no emotion in this song. Famu thinks that crankin' every song is gonna make them sweet, of course they crank. They like 10'000'000 members deep, they betta crank! NSU is the band that owns this song. It gives me chills up my spine when I hear them play it. Their dynamics are off the chart.
Imagine the Legion with 400 members. The crowd would need earplugs. So would FAMU......I don't care what anyone says. Half of that band is probably not even playing.
your such and idiot........stop being musically ignorant......its clear at fam we dont try to blow the bells off the horn for a reaseon.....that half the band not playing I will promise you 300 members of our band will out play anyone in any other HBCU band and the other 100 would still have the skill to be leaders in all other HBCU bands. That comment just pissed me off!! Youre so damn ignorant......when are our bands gonna learn to enjoy quality.
the size does match the sound dumbass.........its 400 people playing...........not 400 trying to play as loud as possible like these other garbage hbcu's.........we don't have the sound of a southern with 400 people bc we dont play like them.......or nsu with 400 people cuz we don't play like them........as the 100 gets bigger the sound gets FULLER.......not louder.......when you stop being musically ignorant you will figure that out and have fun in you second rate ass band.....if ur even in 1
Thank-you u dawg I couldn't have explained it any clearer........THA 100's only competition is tha 100 from past years not other bands...it's no competition. What other schools don't understand is we don't even consider yall competition NSU,BCC orBCU SU whoever tha FUCK run up and get done up!!!!!!
NEVER!!!!!and tha word i think u meant was "mistaken.....lol....Not only do we have the best band in tha world.We also graduate tha most blacks with BA's maybe you should take an english class here or something. Fuck that band shit u got bigger issues u need to deal wit first playboy......LMAO!!!!!
I didn't know what to expect from NSU, after listening to FAMU, but NSU BLEW THEIR ASSES OFF!
I got chills listening to their version, especially 2:23 and beyond!
FAMU is the biggest band of all HBCU's, that I know of, so it's expected that they sound nice, hell they have like 20 tubas!
But I definitely did like NSU's version better, just slightly. The domes usually always kill FAMU's sound (as well as bad videos) and I didn't hear much from their bass drums, because of it
you don't hear much of their bass drums, or their percussion for that matter, because of their concept of sound...feeling the percussion instead of hearing it
i need help i cant choose whoese who can i run to is betters nsu or famu's i kno im on famu page but b truthnful dey both sweet as a bitch on dis song doe idk whose betta

i play trombone at southfield lathrup and i could hear they part clear as hell we just got this song last week i cant wait to use it in a show this da shyt
It sounds rediculous in person! I'm more of a Cookman fan. They just sound better, but FAM hold their own on this one. They actually let their woodwins participate a little bit on this one. Big ups Dr. White!
LMAO @ "they actually let their woodwins participate a little bit on this one"....
you must not really know anything about the FAMU band...we always utilize our woodwinds and they are always heard...unlike our friends down there at that beach in Daytona
Hmmmm, well let's see....FAMU has been all about brass since they got their first tuba. I ain't even gon' lie....them whales be humpin....but top 3(if u knew anything about bands, you'd know what I'm talkin bout) ain't gon' cut it. Now big Don on tha' beach understands the quality of music and knows that in order for there to be a "band"...you must keep the concept of using all instruments in reach.
wow...lol...do really believe what youre typing....lol...i have been following bands for the past 12 years and gave 5 years of service being a member of the Marching "100".....anyone who has any knowledge of HBCU bands will know that we have the best woodwind section; they play a major part in the sound that we have and they are always heard...IMO, i cant say the same for them
@kskkl2003 Man I know both bands and BCU can not compare to FAMU but I love the flare and energy that BCU plays with. I have followed BCC and FAMU since 89 and FAMU always had that musicianship edge over other HBCU bands. Them white whales are of the CHAIN!!!!
Wow I can't believe what you typed. No offense but you must not have an ear for music and must simply be pretending. When you're arguing which band is better, it's more an argument of to each his own. But anybody knows that FAMU utilizes their woodwinds more than any other HBCU band. Honestly when you listen to FAMU band, they have a more balanced sound (you can hear all the voices) versus a brass heavy Cookman. And I'm from Daytona so I rep them right after FAM but the truth is the truth.
Those chords along w/the horn choir on the ''who can I run too'' chorus are so warm and rich. I can't listen with the headphones on because I get chills and bumps from this. I wish y'all would send about a 30 piece band to play this arrangement at my wedding this fall! Hubba 100!
