FAMU 2001 "I Feel Good All Over"

[Tigerwarhawk]

After listening to this, I realized that there was something reminiscent about this sound in regards to balance, so I looked at the instrumentation and realized that they're playing on euphoniums in this clip :-) Is this really from 2001? Didn't they make the switch to marching baritones as soon as Dr. Foster retired? Can anyone shed some insight...?

[hhorns2002]

@Tigerwarhawk LOL. Yes, this is really 2001. When I joined the band in 2002, they were using both euphoniums and marching baritones. I think in either 2004 or 2005, they made the total switch to only marching baritones. However, I wish they would go back to just euphoniums.

[wayno24]

@hhorns2002 yea you can tell the difference...especially with that four seasons of lonliness in 97 vs 2007...the melodic line just aint the same. But this song was so amazing

[igtoxghost]

@hhorns2002..... The transition from euphoniums to marching baritones didn't begin until 1998 (like you said, when Doc Foster retired). We only started marching a few. The full transition didn't occur until years later. Personally, I miss the sound of the euphoniums, but I guess everything evolves at some point for a purpose....

[BassClefKilla]

@igtoxghost The upright or concert baritones are the best in my opinion, too. The marching btones/euphs have grown on me, though. And some sound better than others. Some have a tight, narrow sound. But some like the Kanstuls with the bigger bore and bell have a much fuller sound.

[juanner20]

I was there in the audience and I got nothing but chills

[jefftrum]

dont got the 80s

[killahcornbread]

Where is this sound today? Whatever happened to the passion of playing music?

[tuba1man]

To be honest its still there...they just dont sound the same like the "100" from back in the day!!!!

[jgutter34]

What ever happened to music like this to play...its still there some what but i do miss Dr. Foster's bands its just something about his bands

8. Let Me Be Your Angel (Fall 76)

[projectkid97]

You betta add Open up my heart, All I do is think of you, and You are not alone(performed in the rain)! Fam's ballad arrangments are simply on point. Big ups to Sarge!

[igtoxghost]

I'll put You are not alone at somewhere like #11. All I do is Think of You...uhhh I'm not sure...That might bump a song already listed out of my top ten (or eight or so...)

"Who can I run to" & "Spend the Night" should round out your top 10...LOL

[JHigh4Life]

Sweet Love,Who Can I Run To, and Spend the night are my all time favorites!!!!

[Tigerwarhawk]

Laugh at me if you want, but "People" by Barbra Streisand is one of my all time favorites that FAMU played.

[PurplephiHaze007]

so thats who sings people, i luv dat shit by da "100" i wish we would bring it back, preciate it!

[Tigerwarhawk]

Yeah, that song is one of her signature pieces.  I wish the band staff would bring that one back too!

[HollywoodHood2006]

me 2, for a warm up...

[jazzlife1]

I have nothing is fall 93 and The 100 played Endless Love orignally in 86 or 87 I only know 1 person who has a tape of that year. You should add I Miss You 94 (Aaron Hall) and Spend the Night orignally played in 89 but revised in 98. That's a little history for you baby!!!

[Creolelady98]

EUPHONIUM PART...HIGH AND BEAUTIFUL

[Sabby100]

First performance. You had to be there to get the real feeling. 40 bones, 50 trumpets, 30 tubas. There's no way possible any video camera could catch all of that sound.

[FreakNasty0814]

dawg....they had 40 damn trombones.....it aint even funny man.....40 TROMBONES!!!! smh

[tlangjr]

D*MN!!!

Yet another example of how to have volume and be beautiful at the same time. Southern, JSU, Bama St....take note!

The "FAMU Sound" at its best!

[ohsosweet00]

ohsosweet top that southern

[greggy757]

That was off the hook. It still has the same vibe and emotion as when Stephanie sings it. Great job.

[express004]

where are all the swack lovers lets yall play a ballad but blowing with concept

[Cuttymac]

This was my last year marching....

I remember playing this in the band room....that intro used to give me serious chills.

Hubba 100....
