  • @BNazt bitch fuck u & dat big niggerish ass band.

  • They should be disbanded for the next 4 years while they eliminate their illegal hazing "traditions" and everyone who ever took part in them That's the only way to fix this mess of an organization.

  • @br549sample Thanks for the comment, I don't agree really however as this would impact an entire generation of band members. This no hazing thing needs to happen and it can be rolled in immediately with an open door policy to Administration. Thanks again for the comment.

  • Big niggerish ass band.

  • @85gthang Chill. Yo. You havent been apart of this legacy so you dont know what the fuck its like to be apart of the great marching "100" Keep your comments to yourself

  • I wonder if they murdered anyone that night.

  • @archipelago93 Yeah the culture of hazing has to be wiped out from all parts of society especially at FAMU I know you were jabbing at the FAMU folks and not making a legit comment but your note is appreciated anyways....

  • Famu is by far one of the best marching bands in the nation

  • awww this is a Michael Jackson tribute!!! Why didnt you say that??!!

  • @Esstan1 How is this a michael jackson tribute..? they played a lil wayne song in there...

  • @littlemonty9 Hmm well, but they did play dirty diana, smooth criminal, beat it and thriller. The guy even says "and now a tribute... to the king... michale jackson" at 4.14 .

    So it's definitely a tribute dude.

  • @Esstan1 So part of it is a tribute. Not the entire thing.

  • Look like a bunch of buffoons lying on your backs like that., save that country shhh for your back yard.

  • @Cerl84 dont really agree with you, I enjoy bands that give a great show and these guys were fantastic. Thanks anyways for writing and for viewing. Take care....

  • @Cerl84 Haters...people hate what they can't do or understand..its been that way for years. :) I feel sorry for you man lol

  • What kind of camera were you using!? That is some epic quality...I NEED ONE OF THOSE lol

  • @SenorMike93 Thanks man yeah it is a nice camcorder.....Sony HD Super Steady ShotHDR-SR11 few years old now I am sure there are better ones on the market by now....

  • Nice video coverage...and I like how you panned to "Da U" and the end...

  • @dabandman Thanks for the comment and thanks for the compliment :) - I am so keyed up for this season I can't wait! I hope we have a good team this year out on that field! Either way though my boy and I will be out there rain or shine. Thanks again for the note - it means a lot.

  • @wholderby This season will be an interesting one for the Hurricanes as they have a new head coach and they have a pretty interesting schedule this year. The Ohio State game is a huge barometer, but I did not like how they finished the season against Notre Lame (yeah that's right)...With a road opener against Maryland on Labor Day and an off week before OSU, they have some time to see what their strengths are...

    I will see them when they play USF in December. Hopefully that will be good.

  • man they won everybody over in that staduim UM fans well they already had the rattler fans :)

  • GETT WassteedddD!!

  • I thought FAMU marched drill too along with the dance moves. I don't see much movement.

  • For all the ignorant comments being made about bands now compared to back in the 80's and 90's and such: You can't compare bands today to bands back then because musical preference and entertainment preference has changed tremendously over the years. Musical preference is even changing now as I type. Because most college bands are sources of entertainment they have to keep up with what the people like. People aren't listening to Patti Labelle, Diana Ross, and The Temptations anymore.

  • dis look like a tired show....

  • A Well Oiled Machine Of Music Is What This Is!

  • Comment removed

  • Port Gibson High School marching & concert band back in the seventies. Alcorn State University marching band after that & i have always been a 100% supporter of THIS MUCICAL INSTITUTION! Wish I Had Gone There! Love The Discipline! I Thought That Drugs & Alcohol Enhanced My Performance! All It Does Is Takes Away From The Individual. No Matter How High Off Of Anything Other Than Yourself You Get You Will Never Obtain The Level Of Satisfaction Of PERFORMING IN A SOBER STATE OF BEING!

  • Is that the hurricans band attempting to get on the field after that? lol

  • @Blakmajik78 Yeah but just to play the team back out to the field - hey we have our traditions down here in Miami too :)

  • Hey do any of you all know if FAMU Band Members suffer the hazing rituals that members of the other BIG BAND schools suffer? I saw the story on Real Sports and it is terrible what they showed those school's poor people go through. I would hate to think that these marvelous players had to go through that initiation. Just curious.....

  • @wholderby Yes, if not worse. And practice doesn't end until the wee hours of the night. My roommate was a member and we lived within earshot of the field.

  • @wholderby yea most HBCU suffer hazing the 100 is no exception

  • I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE WORLD FAMOUS MARCHING BAND OF FLORIDA A& M OVER THE YEARS EVER SINCE I WAS A KID GROWNING UP RATTLER IN MY LIFE FOREVER.

  • That was off the chain, they blessed the Canes wit that one.

  • damn they're good, this band kicks Ohio State's ass

  • @Davecm008 each bad is great in their own way, famu is more entertaining, modern, and electric but osu has more tradition than any other band.. i mean they are never a step off which you can see by this video famu has many people outta step.. your not gonna see osu's band doin the stanky leg lol.. they are both kick ass, i would definitely rather watch dm100's but dont throw off on osu

  • def aint the same 100 from the 80's and 90's...dm's was off at the back bend and shit...when have you ever seen the 100 dms doin shit like that...I'll wait for an answer..

  • @dbaile2 You know a lot more about the moves a band does than I do but all I can tell you is that the performance was enjoyed by all in attendance - thanks so much for posting.

  • @wholderby We know a LOT more about how this band is supposed to be run....and A LOT more about our traditions and the Precision....dbaile2 is RIGHT ....It is off. It's good...But is off.

  • @famupiccolo92 Great and thanks for commenting, As a Miami guy I was just happy with the entertainment and actually seeing something worth watching at halftime. If we want to compare the worst performance to the Band of the Hour's best.....FAMU would still come out on top :)

  • @famupiccolo92 Great and thanks for posting, it was enjoyed by everyone in attendance. I will take a bad FAMU show over most of the other halftimes we get every other game of the year.

  • How many people are in that band!!! and how many Trumpets! OH YEA TRUMPETS ROCK!!

  • @dbaile2 Sorry, but it will never be the same. Everybody wants to be a rapper and video model, so if you're lucky enough to find someone who can read sheet music, you take what you got and throw them on the field in hopes that they have some span of memory and rhythm....it will only go down hill from here.

  • @dbaile2 As a fall 92 100 Member....I must agree.

  • @dbaile2 Hubba That!!!!

  • i love this band soooo much...it's like 500+ of them and their always together

  • Are there any clips from Miami's band.

  • @bmoreed Nah, I love filming the team but the Band of the Hour are not really something I specialize in :)

  • @bmoreed Nah, I love filming the team but the Band of the Hour are not really something I specialize in :)

  • @bmoreed Nah.....not the highlight of the night usually.....

  • @bmoreed lol

  • @notenoughcereal help me out here pal, does UM call their band the Band of the Hour? Really?

  • @bmoreed Yeah, they are not up to the same par as a REAL band but I would rather have 95% of the talent on the field be the players and 5% be the band rather then a different combination :) - would be great to have the Marching 100 and a good (refreshed) Miami Hurricanes....we shall see....the Band of the Hour learns 1 or 2 new songs a year and milks them far too long.....in my opinion of course.....the mics on the field did help them out a lot though.

  • @bmoreed I believe so. But they blow. Pecking order in Florida: (1) FAMU (2) FSU (3) UF (4) UM .... there actually may be some schools better than UF and UM, but it's really about the 100 for flair and the Marching Chiefs for traditional pageantry and good music.

  • @notenoughcereal I will definitely check out FSU and UF. But I think maybe FAMU and BCC alternate between which band is the best in Florida. I've recently seen a performance from the Bethune Cookman marching band in Va and I think that they are the best in Florida this year. If you get a chance, check them out. They are so freaking clean!!!

  • This is one of the best films of the Marching 100 I have ever seen in terms of overall quality!!!! WOW!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

  • @amd77j Thanks very much!

  • These guys are SHOWMEN. That's what a band should aim for: putting on a great show. FAMU is the best I've seen at doing this. Great music. Great sound. Great band.

  • You get a real feel for FAMU's power when they start playing to the home side and it sounds loud enough... then they turn to the camera and it gets LOUD!

  • nice liked it when they did mj song that was nice.

  • This video quality is great! My band is A-Mazing...

  • Hey eventhough i dislike Fam , this is very good video and a good performance by them,not as boring...

  • Gotta respect the FAMU band, they know how to put up a great show. Not a fan of HBCU's marching bands, but FAMU is by far the best at what they do, can't compare them to drum corps cuz its a complete different style, but I enjoy their showmanship. It's always fun talking to them after games too, since Im part of the BOTH....anyways, GO CANES!

  • @pgdrummer give the hbcu bands a chance they're exciting. Corps style marching sends me to the concession.

  • aye dat bit go hard as fuk!!

  • seriously are all of those bass drums necessary

  • IM NOT A FAMU FAN. I THINK THEY GET PROPS CAUSE THEY BIG. PERSONALLY I THINK JSU (JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY) BETTER!

  • @wholderby we play UM sep 2nd this year so plz be there to film again, ill be there in the 100 :-D

  • @NPC84 Oh, we will be there for sure! :) - waiting on my season tix any day now.... Have a new and exciting show for us? Will be up in 444 watching....good luck and all of Miami looks forward to the 100!

  • @wholderby what brand camcorder did you use to record with...awesome quality!!

  • @kdk1970 Sony HDR-SR11 - I love it....I filmed last night as well and will be uploading it shortly - the only issue last night was the people walking up and down the aisle - last night did not seem as good as last years performance...they didn't "funk out" as much or something...and it seemed like they played towards the away side most of the time....I will watch my own video again to verify this....was hard to hear them this year (not so last year when I filmed this)....

  • :) I was there! (at the game)

  • that is great quality camera

  • You are really good with that camera!! Good vid.

  • @Inuyana890 Thanks :) - yeah I have so many OLD home movies that are unwatchable because of the camera movement so when I bought an HD camera I promised myself that I would try to use it in a better way. Enjoy!

  • i coming up boy!!! miami norland all the way!!

  • yo son this band is krazy good

  • Very Nice!!!! I love the way they held their position before they sprung the FAMU/CANES formation on them!!

  • my cuzin in dis band i follow errywhere dey go i go to fam high lol love famu 4 life

  • ahmad needs some jumpsoles lol

  • Lol Oh Em Gee Man. Gotta Love The 100. Lol They Was Too Ratchet In The Dance Routine. Lol Too Ratchet. Always Amazes Me How They Keep Their Intervals So Clean.

  • fam wont stop recruiting till they have 2000 in their band!! lol!!!

  • @RANSOMPAIDFOR --- Lol I Know Right. They Too Deep.

  • Da Marching 100 baby. No other band can compare. Southern has nothing on FAMU baby.

  • @brojam11 exactly! FAMU BEST BAND IN THE LAND

  • @hellokitty15able WHAT DID U JUS SAY JUST SAY ONE OF THE BEST BANDS NOT THE BEST IN THE LAND U WRONG FOR THAT

  • @CKDRUMMER94 noo.im really not....it is what is is..FAMU is the best band in the land. point blank period...thats my opinion

  • @hellokitty15able u have your opinion and i have mine i just think just because they are big dosent mean they are the best

  • its called the marching 100 because when it was originally created they had 99 member so they just called it the marching 100...and it was in 08 when they were 500+ strong!

  • @THEREEKSTER ....sorry but that is wrong information....When Dr. William P Foster started the band ("100") in 1946, the had 98 band members 1 drummajor and 1 majorette..and that= THE INCOMPARABLE MARCHING "100"....and in 2008 the weren't 500+, the were more like a good 425-440.....fall 2k9 HUBBA "100"

  • FAMU IS DA BEST!!!!

  • From this angle you can really hear how good these musicians really are.

  • Thanks for posting this -- I live on the other side of the country now and it's nice to see the band again. The team got their butts kicked by Miami that night but the band represented us in fine style. Go Rattlers!

  • I believe they call them the "100" because they cover all one hundred yards of the field!!!

  • I lOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH....O GOODNESS I LOVE THEM TO MUCH, I REALLY MISS SEEING THEM AT THE BATTLE OF BANDS HELD HERE IN MISSISSIPPI....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :')

  • how do they always stay that size i dont think they have ever been less than 200 people

  • calling yourself the marching 100 often times is used for bands that have over 100 members. It sounds nice thats why.

  • isn't famu supposed to be 560+ strong this year?

  • @crunkcymbals09 Npe 410+

  • iam so glad that a hbcu school (famu) was able to show the (u) that they cannot say we are not just as good or better in the band department .

  • Comment removed

  • i was at this game the marching 100 are amazing and im a hurricane fan!

  • wtf.....was them Dm's got goin on..sure not the 100 from past years...

  • thanks for putting this up....really good quality. tell those people to sit down next time lol jk

  • @gongima Sure - enjoy! I think they come down again in the 2010 season and I look forward to filming them again - always a treat...

  • famu famu famgotdamu! alright alright alright.... for those haters you have to go see them in person. you cant just watch a video of them on you desktop/laptop & get the same experience.

  • Comment removed

  • @ehscymbals011 Don't hate.....respect "the show" - if it were all marching and playing away on the wood-winds, I would NOT have recorded it and the stands would be full of empty seats out buying beer.... Compared to the Band of the Hour, uhhh - I was thrilled with FAMU....

  • You obviously know nothing about the 100. They are ALWAYS together, they dance but they also ALLL about the MUSIC. you will NEVER and i mean NEVER found a band who actually sounds better then FAMU, try watching something besides this 1 vid before judging.I dont go there but i plan to. They are the best sounding band ive ever heard and by far the most exciting.

  • Miami got owned

  • Comment removed

  • they are but their doing pre game

  • Thats the stadium where the Superbowl is going to be this year isn't it?

  • @EAFSQ9 Yep - Now called SunLife Stadium.....

  • Best band in the land

  • Nope. JSU FTW

  • @seteiwane, I'll have you to know that Famu produces some of the Best and Brightest! The band is just extra!

  • Comment removed

  • Its all about FAMU. I went to that game.

  • I'm in the Band of the Hour now, but I marched showstyle in high school (I've got six friends in the 100). No comparison. I enjoy what I do now, but I so wish we could switch styles.

  • Damn if i was in UM's band i woulda killed myself already! lol

  • @xXPerryHotterXx With all due respect to FAMU, I don't have the urge to kill myself because I know a top-50 college education is worth more in the long run than four more years of showstyle. That and the scholarship that I get for band that doesn't happen at FAM.

  • No disrespect to you dude but famu's business program is ranked in the to top among all schools...n they do have band scholarships!!

  • As I said, I have total respect for FAMU, but when it comes to academics, UM easily comes out ahead in most aspects. And UM gives a scholarship to every single person who marches in BOTH. I know everyone in the 100 doesn't get one.

  • wow!!!!!!!!! thats all i can say is WOW!!!

  • And that's how we do it in HBCU land baby! NOBODY leaves during halftime..people come to the game to see the bands not the football teams ;)

  • Damn this a nice video and kudos on the camera. Which make and model? I will be down to see Honda Classic

  • FAMU and UM have alot of respect for each other. its nice to see.

  • This is one of the reasons why I want to go to FAMU ( The Band and A Good Education).....I had so much fun at this game although they lost, It felt Like FAMU still won da game because of the BAND keep it up!!!

  • U just like me a true fan whether they win or lose still gone love FAMU to da fullest!!!!

  • this band is awsome does anyone kno their schedule so i can see them perform live

  • Dey gone be at da honda battle of the bands on january.30,2010

  • @hellvelle24 their next performance is at the Honda Battle of the Bands at ATl.

  • Catch them at the Superbowl 2010, February 7, 2010 pregame show.

  • that camera got like 20x zoom. i saw a drum majors shoelaces. damn thats a good ass camera

  • @MrKomKast It has a 50X Optical and 200X digital zoom and thanks for the nice words on the camera it is amazing - get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

  • Great Footage, Im in the band and never could find a video where you can see me to show my fam. YOU were on me the WHOLE TIME..BOOSTED

  • thats a good ass camera

  • and u see wat we did we wrote yall anmes on da feild during our performance

  • miami wasnt ready for dat at all

  • wat the fuck never dat

  • lhs bass drummer sucks ass lol

  • omg im bout to rip u played for 4 years i started this year and if we strapped up i would shit on you your sorry

  • no intensity

  • it's business time.

  • that tuba section is so serious!

  • @LHSBassDrummer they are the White Whales

  • @MrKomKast lol thats raw

  • some of these niggas shammin hard....just b cuz u have alot of ppl dot mean u dont have to put out.....as they say u never know who watching

  • THe head dm was shammin.......get michael back out there!!!!!!!!!!11

  • The drum major bringing in the tubas is shammin his ass off! Get your cardio up. 95 Whale. Oh so sweet.

  • Where was the drill???

  • Nice show hope they the "100" bring something more better to Orlando this weekend or they're in trouble.....Hail PRIDE!!!!

  • jesus, takes 2 minutes just to get on the field. lol

  • I love this band!!!

  • What was going on in the beginning. I think FAMU Deboed whoever that was off the field...

  • FAMU is a class act

  • One time for the saxes in the front on the right... Only ones puttin' out all the way to the end....

    G-ES-TA-P-O!!!

  • i really enjoyed that! i liked the canes/famu formation at the end. that was cute :)

  • If you're pressed for time, you should make sure the performance is as exciting and entertaining as possible. Dancing is exactly what you should do in that situation. Those UM fans didnt come to see us drill. They came to be entertained. The band only gets 7 mins when they play the White Schools. Drilling doesn't keep the butts in the seats during half time... Trust me, concessions took a hit that day. I was there and nobody left their seats...

  • Sir...If you really took the time out to really investigate you would realize that we had two performance. This was only our halftime show. Our post game show was actually a drill....smh

  • talk to Dr. White hes the one who wanted our show this way

  • oh and one more thing we did do a drill show after the game was over, so once again see Dr. White he slit a normal show into 2

  • ...please stop being insecure about being black...

  • did u see da post game show dey saved drill for post game cuz dey had more time

  • and thank you for that explanation..

  • I didn't notice that you ended with the shot of the U at the end...that was a nice touch...likes that...

    11/26/09 - Be there or...you know... :-)
