Hmmmm... This is the 1st time I've heard SU's version of this tune. I think it was VERY smart and creative to use the trombone line for the melody, they sound remarkably like her actual voice! I must respectfully say however, that I'm biased towards the 100's overall arrangement (I'm 100 alumni), but this sounds good!! I give all props to the 80's era HBCU's!! Bro'man Fall 93, FAMU100
Some of you old school guys kill me, it's one thing to have pride in the years that you march in the band but that doesn't mean that you should denigrate everything that came after you! Yes, SU isn't what it should be but compared tomost other bands they are still head and shoulders better than everybody else. Try showing some love every now and then to those marching in the S now and leave the hate to the other schools. SU Tower of Power '89 - '92
See this is the Jukebox that gained more respect. These guys actually focus on musicianship as well as volume. They also challenged themselves (Listen to SU playing Get Away. Some sic runs in there! lol) Just wished they went back to that.
Funny - by "new school" standards, this would be considered soft, weak, boring and lame. This is the Jukebox sound I grew up listening to, and I truly miss it.
this 86' b-tone section was the best ever!!! the section leaders were those boys out of houston,tx frm forest brook. they introduced playing b-tone with a jazz-feel. this clip was just a tease for what they brought to the table!!! I don't know if b-tone sections even listen to jazz now!!!
For jaro1911, my crab yr was 1992 and Doc told us that we were the best predominantly crab class that he's ever directed. Much love to the 1's before me. Griffin'92. What up Stefon,Chris, Sheldon, Rico, Snoop, Tyrus, etc... Griffin represented
Yeah, FAMU generally plays ballads a little sweeter. I'll say it this way, depending on the mood I'm in, there are some songs I prefer to hear FAMU play, and some I prefer to hear Southern play (it's sort of like sex, sometime I want to make love, and sometime I want to just F#@*%K).
you could actually grab a chick and dance in the aisle if you wanted to. FAM's arrangement dont have that same kinda feel. both bands sound good but SOUTHERN is just cold.
I always liked fam's arrangement, but I gotta say partna this version is on FIRE! Oh and Patti Labelle, like SU, is loved by many loyal followers! don't hate!
Love this arrangement.. FAMU's is too slow and boring. Southern brought that certain funkiness to the song that I just love.
I know this video is over 20 years old, but FAMU continues to play the same way even to this very day, and I mean, that's fine and all because they sound good, but it's marching band.. put some funk into it.. the arrangement is too damn dry, boring, and 'pretty'.
Anyway, great job as usual SU, I hope to hear this in person later this year at the MEAC/SWAC challenge.
lol...I heard both...being an alumnus of FAMU and I bleed Orange and GREEN...I must say both have distinct styles, but for the size su has, their arrangement really doubles the size of the band.
Look SU, famu even changed keys in their performance, yall are just loud, why can't yall admit that. I'll admit yall are loud, but yall had to slow the tempo down just to play the song, and some of yall are drowning out other sections, yall are an embarrasment to actual "skill" SWAC really needs to leave the booty shaking to others, and really get some skill behind them. I'm sorry if you truly know music, you would know this arrangement, musically is terrible.
jaro i heard about them thrashings we put on fam in the 90's. they'll never admit it.they just say we out of tune, and we play so angry and all that shit. like we supposed to sound like them or something.-Crab 2000-S Phi D KKPsi spr '03 ZN.
What happend to FAMU in spr.'86(after fall'85 season)at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta during the SWAC all-star game(friendly question)? Just curious.
Try it again. There is nothin like that Southern "sound" from back then until now. Nothin like them 80's bands. I had homeboys in this band. I feel like '90,'91,'92,and'93 were the residue of them 80's bands. Tried to uphold that Southern tradition(you would have to have been in SU band to understand). What happend to FAMU at their homecoming in fall'93 from cross the field? Crab fall'92--mellow madness---KKPsi spr.'93 ZN.
even u know that statement about southern being the best aint true. southern is the best at pushin they slides all the way in, overblasting, and playing without concept. southern is like Dem Franchise Boys, FAMU is like Jay-Z, best rapper alive, Dem Franchise Boys...well their just simple and popular. When a swac band develops a Dynamic sound, such as the one that the Marching "100" has, then i'll rate them next to Famu, not yet tho
please famu is like jayz please! southern is like 2pac the legeacy will be there forever ! tell famu to stop hazing and stealing from hotels! every poll says su is the number 1 band so stop hatin on southern famu is boring! 2pac is the best ever and he is dead and his ablums are number 1 and he is dead@ southern is like james brown @ louis armstrong! don't hate on su because they are number 1 and not boring!
famu being jayz please!southern is like 2 pac the leagcy will be there forever! 2 pac is died and he stil have number1 ablums! tell famu to stop hazing and stealing out the marriot! don't get mad because southern always win the battle out of your boring school!southern is like james brown and louis armstrong! another jukebox hater! don't get mad because southern was voted number 1 on band polls! southern university number 1 band! your band sounds like crap! keep the comments coming!
i need not respond...ur iggnorrance contradicts facts and makes u look stupid enuff...as for me,in my house...The Marching "100" will continue to be the standard of excellence!
i enjoy the hazing case on court tv! our sound always make it across the field! southern can do a halftime score famu can't ! thats what makes southern the number 1 band! our band is powerful and clean! famu is boring! don't hate on su!
the hazing case was against kappa alpha psi...which has nothing to do with the famu band...i would advise u to get ur facts straight, as far as u thinkin southern is the best, go ahead. im not gonna argue w/you, i dont have time... The Marching "100" has some rehersals to do in preparation for the Superbowl halftime show...Whats southern doing?...lol
