  • This must be the best halftime performance cookman has ever done for the Florida Classic in my opinion.Just awesome.Coming from a current marching wildcat.07 did their thang that yr.

  • my freshman year!

  • I love the way they showed a century transition form a college into a university. BCC TO BCU !!!!! That was an incredible display ! :)

  • what is the song of the introduction??

    

  • @fazeman4 Duffle Bag Boy by Lil Wayne

  • the best dance routine i've seen!

  • C/O 07! Gotta Love it! ONLY Class to NUTZ Classic!

  • HELL YEA FOR THE SPEAKER THAT MAN DNT BE PLAYING NO GAME

  • yall boys sound awsome

  • This brings tears to my eyes 100 years later we can say BCU, i love my school!!

  • WOW!!! After watching a few clips of BC, I must say I have changed my mind about HBC bands. I always hated them, even when I was a marching member of one myself in the mid 80's. People always told me that there were some HBC bands that could actually play MUSIC well and not just loud but I thought THEY didn't know what they were talking about. SURPRIZE... I was wrong. I still prefer DCI for myself but they are good.

  • @dcraig1865 well there's really no comparison cause his is college as oppose of DCI is professional and all they want to do is win competitions. HBCU bands are only for entertainment you should since you marched for one. and pretty much all HBCU bands in the MEAC sound like this. and by the way PVAMU a SWAC school dont just play loud they actual sound similar to this.

  • @TheDragonmaster18 I Marched NCCU so I was a little familiar with NC A&T, Norfolk, FAMU, and Hampton. I liked Hampton's sound but they were the best HBCU I had heard. I haven't been around black band for so long that I forgot how cheezy it could be sometimes. Haha You are right, it is for entertainment. So EVERY single stunt is made as plain and clear to the audience. That slows the pace of a show WAY down. (As compared to white college bands, not to mention DCI)

  • @dcraig1865 i like DCI to but why must they pick music that nobody has ever heard of? im sure they know how to entertain and win at the same time. im not asking them to play pop songs or anything but play classics like EARTH, WIND & FIRE, ELVIS, MICHEAL JACKSON, PERCY SLEDGE, AL GREEN. basically everyone from that time. then they'll have more fans than just people who are marching band folk. why do you think people like HBCU bands. but i like DCI to except BD

  • @TheDragonmaster18 Interesting that you mentioned Earth, Wind & Fire. I marched BRIDGEMEN in the 80s (DCIs top drum line 80, 81, 82) The Bridgemen were famous for playing popular music including E,W &F. The thing is, the crowd at a DCI competition is music savy. They didn't come to see a football game. So, the music has to be played well and written well. Im most cases, if you add enough techncal difficulty to pop music to be competitive, it will no longer sound much like whats on the radio.

  • @TheDragonmaster18 How can you NOT like BD? ha ha Anyway - I Marched Blue Stars and Bridgemen (DCI), NCCU (HBCU), and four years in The U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle corps. (Yes, the Marine corps actually has a drum corps.) I have had a pretty well rounded marching career. Good luck with The Crossmen. They rock too.

  • @TheDragonmaster18 I think the reason I hated show bands back then was, I was a music major, transferred from an arts school, and wanted to be surrounded by quality players like myself, not "entertain" people by dancing. Show bands are about entertaning fans. And football fans that don't give a rats ass about music. Even at white colleges, the fans go get a hot dog or something at halftime. At black colleges, the fans what to see the bands battle. To some, it is even bigger than the game.

  • @dcraig1865 im a music major myself but im thinking about changing my major to hospitality but what you said is true. i go to houston community college. we dont have a band but i am in the rice university band and at halftime our stadium is almost empty. we are what most people call a scatter band. we dance to but nothing like the hbcu bands, hell im the only music major in the band and the best snare player they have.

  • @TheDragonmaster18 Haha I feel your pain. Maybe you should march a summer in DCI if you are below the age-out limit or a senior corps if your are not. It will be good to get your music fix on.

  • @dcraig1865 oh im auditioning for the crossmen in a couple of months so hopefully i'll make it

  • @TheDragonmaster18 BTW, when I say this or that band sounds better, I'm usually talking about hornlines. I was a trumpet player. I didn't realize you were a drummer. Quite a few HBCU bands have decent drumlines, I think.

  • @dcraig1865 i know that's how i determine a bands sound as well. eventhough im a percussionist i still know what the hornline is suppose to sound like, for example FAMU and BCU best in the MEAC in my opinion while for SWAC its PVAMU as far as sound goes.

  • whats up with the slow songs? Sounds Great but...........

  • at is the figure bcu made at about 4:50

  • BCU is so boring!!

  • Bcu's Tonal drums are sick on the 14 k number and throughout. Das wussup yall. Do ya thang!

  • Theres only one band I know that doesnt stop moving during a halftime show and thats Grambling. And these bands are EERILY similar to one another. In sound, stlye,dance,and marching. Must be a Fla thang. Anybody notice that besides me?

  • bluephi182k , cookmans band really dont care what ppl say we just perform and try to do our thing. all these comments talking about famu suck does not come from us. its mostly from youtube viewers

  • Fam got they feelins hurt this year

  • Are yall still hating on this 2 year old clip?!?! Damn! Well Trespin lets see your band do better.... Oh. And by the way no breaks throughout the course of the show. Put forth the energy, the precision, and play LITERALLY.. From the time you come on to the field until the time u exit the field. U can say what you want.. But there isnt a band in this COUNTRY that does what we do at Cookman.

    Hail Wildcats...

  • dat sticking snares doing at 845 phii...

  • Do FAMU always take a beating like this every year???

  • This band has the best trash talker

  • agreed.

  • AWESOME!!!

  • just like your blow jobs. HAIL PRIDE!!!!

  • oh ok thanks

  • i love the entrance. anyone know wat they was playin

  • duffle bag boy-lil wayne

  • lol how culd u say this was boring? fieldshow sounded awesome, entrance waz hot,auxilary was hot, concert selection was great, dnce routine was crunk as usual. how is it boring?

  • Showed up and Showed out !!!!

  • THEY KILLED THAT!!!! lol

  • One thing that FAMU & BCU have in common that I like is that u can understand what their playing unlike the bands in the SWAC. The bands in the swac just sound loud and sloppy.

  • I have to agree with you. Nice show, loved the cadence coming on to the field.

  • BCU (was BCC)....WILDCATS...LET'S GO!!!

  • wat was that formation that bcu made towards the end

  • It's a female.

  • like the one thats on those big trucks

  • A Mudflap girl

  • I really tried to sit through this whole thing I really did, but it got so boring towards the end but it started so crunk

  • omg~! thats really cool !!! love it! BCC rocks!!

  • How Many Memebers does BCU or BCC whatever u want to call it have in their band

  • last i checked 325

  • First I would like to say I am a marching 100 member for life "white whales" and bcc was good, but why did it take for them to go from bcc to bcu to be able to be on the same field with us let alone state!!!!!!!!!!

  • You may want to stop while you are ahead because in a few months your institution may become the property of FSU! BCU is great because we are ACCREDITED. ARE YOU?

  • YES.......

  • NO! Thats not what the news or FAMU's financial report said. yall better transfer while yall can because when u graduate if the school is not accredited then your degree wont mean squat!!!

  • check today's tallahassee democrat newspaper... front page... HATER...

  • -fill me in on what it says. An exact quote would be nice. I have no reason to hate on FAMCC. :-)

  • Um..I am a third year Business Administration major at FAMU and I am happy to enlighten you that FAMU did work out all of its kinks and we are accredited. So when you want to get back at a Rattler you need to go ahead and find something else to talk about. I will give you some help...Talk about us being the #1 University for African-Americans.. Or if that isn't enough, you can also mention how FAMU is the number one producer of African-American graduates with a Bachelors degree.

  • #1 University for Afro-Americans, #1 producer of Afro-American graduates with a B.A. Well, it doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure that out. FAMU is the largest HBCU in the nation and you all are supported by the Great State of Florida (No Brainer). Congratulations on getting everything straighten out though.

  • correct me if i am wrong but did yall BCC or BCU( a wanna be rattler) go through same thing, so dont trip, u already know white people dont like us cuz we are have what they cant have... plus when yall get more than 1 lame ass master program then u can try to holla at FAMU... yall are so beneath us its not even funny, but what i wont do is knock yall 4 gettin an education.. keep doin what yall doin, and reach for the RATTLERS!!

  • yall are so beneath us ? who ?

  • Are you fucking kidding me BCU under FAMU come what are you on seriously

  • Yes I am.......

  • thats jus sad that you have to put another HBCU like that and i wouldnt like yall either if i was white cause look what you doin not even supporting your own dern HBCU how dare you UGHHHH

  • 1:15 they was getting the crowd HYPE! If you would have listen 4:34 is when they showed a picture of the founder Mary McCloud Bethune ok!

  • Man they killed that shit the whole video- 1:15....but what is that 4:34 & 13:28

  • The first formation was of the founder of the instituion (Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune-it was displayed on the jumbo tron), honoring her contrubution and the significane. As for the second during the dance routine, you've seen her on many 18 wheelers driving on the expressway (usually on the splashguards), representing a freaky girl (the song they played).

  • super

  • my schools band is the best ever and in the world period. give me a band where every single section is A1. famu stop hating. yall had yall time 2 shine. ITS ALL ABOUT BCU NOW.

  • FAMU Will always be my Fav But at the Classic's B-CU KILLED it, everything was right when they played ,great job B-CU be perpared for FAMU in 6 months CUZ i will be there (!!GO WILDCATS!!) AND (!!!!GO RATTLERS!!!!)

  • entrance was good, the rest, needs improvement..

  • Both bands performed very well. But I've gotta say that BCU had the better performance. I've heard both bands live on several occassions and I wanna like FAMU, but they always sounds jambled and distorted.

  • This was the most boring half time performance I have ever witnessed.

  • that was the first Classic game i went to and it was the best

  • I usually don't say anything because cookman niggas keep it real and talk through they horn but, it's too much hatin goin on under this clip. Notice the majority of the comments are from rattlers or rattler fans. How I know ths is because the ignorance that's being said is a represenation of a rattler and their constant hatin. Lets try to show up at he next classic because as far as i know Famu ain't show up yet. Yall played out and the most i hear from yall is yall chants and shit talkin.

  • FAMU WAZ WAY BETTER i mean famu could have just made the superman and walk off the feild. and still been better than this boring show

  • I agree.

  • dat intro was HOTTTTT but da rest of da show was boring....but nice sound and size cookman....rep fo da south betta than that tho...there are high school bands in south florida that perform better shows for big games than that...

  • but every band always has at least 1 not so great show,high school, college. but it shuldve been better considering how hype every1 waz about the game, i mean its the FLORIDA CLASSIC

  • dawg, one thing i been trying to figure out since for ever is if yall a university now, why yall still use bcc in your formations that makes no fucking sence

  • You must did not see the part where they changed the C to a U

  • knaw i saw it after i sent that message

  • knaw i saw it after i sent that message

  • My bad. I fell asleep watching the clip.  As I was saying, BCU has good sound, but this has got to be thee most boring halftime show! Whomever said BCU had more energy & were more "crunk" than FAMU must not have seen this clip. I don't agree w/ the "hair & nails" comment. I think its wonderful BCU became a University & like some1 else said we need to have share N that joy as it benefits "US" as a whole. Back 2 the show, it just was boring as hell. FAMU definately had Classic & BOTB O7.

  • I think BCU's sound is good, but this has got to be the most bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

  • i love you BCU this is the ONLY college band i would ever join 14k love you grls and my flag girls kill it gotta get up there with them (i was here in the inzone) what really got to me was when yall started the show near the beginning with lets go wildcats(tigers lol) its was BCC and then went into the bridge and changed it to BCU it gets me everytime I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! it

  • im so happy for BCU i go to jones and im a flag girl in the band and it almost brought tears to my eyes because it is a beautiful thing that BCC is no longer and BCU is now in affect mary mcloud bethune started a beautiful school she would be so proud (cont)

  • i rean out of room to finish, in the words of one of my friends(100 member) on friday night just before the BotBs and i quote "I don't know about that bull shit we about to put on the field tomorrow night(referring to sat), but tonight we about to get in that azz" and i agree...honestly i don't think either band outshined the other on saturday,and SOME 100 alum will say the same thing but FAMU still is and will always continue to be my favorite HBCU band besides my own,FAMU & BCU the MEAC KINGS!

  • just a response to the person that said this show was an old show ACTUALLY this show was mostly NEW! The intro and drill were new(except for the "let it go" music and the BCC-BCU)The concert selection was something from our library we(just like FAMU) have had that song for awhile, the dance routine and 14k BRAND NEW! I'm here to educate not to disrespect anybody, and from my fam who are CURRENTLY marching in the 100 classic was ALMOST a carbon copy of homecoming

  • they drummajor entrance was fye 2 how he put down the mase and made it come back i want 2 c BCU drummajors and jackson go at it

  • I was there

  • I saw them yesterday at the MLK battle of the bands in homestead. They did the same routine it was insane

  • The only thing I have to say is that both band programs are good. However, this is a BCU clip and if there are BCU haters on here from anywhere, for your information Hatred is a form of attention to the opposing force so giving BCU attention contradicts your arguements about BCU. In other words get off their clips if they are so bad or not as good as other bands.

  • Famu Gottsdamme U !! Wildkat05 and jeremyhbdx, If U think so highly of your band, if they are sooo good, they might need to stay home and get outta grown folks Band Camps !!

  • im goin to be on da bass line i hope

  • u zoomed in on the drum majors 2 late good vid though im still a rattler fan but cookman did good

  • BCC show was a combination of shows they did throughout the season too. The BCC to BCU ,concert selection, bits of the dance routine also........the oly thing new was Ms Gingerbread and the puddle of water formation at the end

  • sorry boo but famu was way better dey was on point ya,ll got murdered famu blew ya,ll out the water ya,ll aint even no match fa famu yezzir

  • Bethune ya'll volume is good . Al you guys need is a little bit more technique and tuning . PLus, ya'll arranger needs to go back to school .

  • naw dey can get all the technique in the world dey still aint no match to famu cuz famu always been the best and will always be the best yup and we do bleed orange and green yezzir

  • u guys got slu famu killed u

  • famu has lost its sting, still living off tradition of the early 90"s

  • is that supposed to be an insult? most bands WISH they had a fraction of FAMU's tradition. does ur band even have one?

  • what are you talking about? do you how many people are chanting "let's go"so many that theband does not even have to say it. and you know dem people that claim they bleed orange and green are sayin it too!!! not to mention the tradition of showing up and showing out on FAM. so brah SIT DOWN

    cause wildcats do and always will BLEED MAROON AND GOLD

  • one hand clap for 20 sumthin years of let's go. anything else spannin close to 50+ years? as far as that last ALLEGED tradition, FAMU has been doin that to bcc since yall band was a one man panhandlin street act on mary mccleod bethune blvd LOL

  • I wish I would have went to a HBCU. Our Band doesn't do anything like this. I think If I might take master classes in Music here if they have the program because yall band rocks!!!!

  • it wasnt ms butterworth lame, it was ms mary mcleod and i also thought famus performance was boring while once again we(bcu) ripped it!!!

  • is that Mrs. butterworth at 4:40??lol

  • that was a short crunk moment wit Duffle Bag Boy they should have kept it going but oh well

  • what can i say nothin better than the marchin 100 and the marchin wildcats

  • Hype entrance, but goes down from there as usual. Overall, a good show.

  • famu all day, but duffle bag boy...... that's hot

  • Thank You, we aint never ran from a band (including the 100) and we definately weren't going to pick the clasic to start running.

  • no need for thank you's..... U still lost the battle. Maybe yall better than SU or some other band, but not FAMU.. keep dreamin.

  • Again, THANK YOU....we know how to demonstrate class and integrity.  Also, there's not maybe----we are better than SU and FAMU.

  • yea yall should've ran from 100 cause they killed yall once again

  • you know what ill give fam their props on their Drill, well the first part. It was rather entertaining to see stick figures yet again. But the rest of the show was purely another culmination of shows that they have already done this year. Its like they dont even try for classic. Which is why i think their shows arent as awe-inspiring as they have been in the past (90's-2001) Ever since '04 its like they have been "riding their rep" not much is original anymore.

  • look nobody told u to watch every performance of FAMU on youtube, dvd, vhs, and 8track. unlike u, every1 in the citrus bowl didnt attend every FAMU game or see every FAMU performance, so the show was brand NEW to them. and what does it say about bcc when FAMU can execute pieces of shows from earlier in the season, and still be the BEST? How can a person without a rep discuss reps in the first place? Thats bout as dumb as a midget tryna school Kobe on how to dunk

  • LOL!

  • maybe yall should have considered running.

  • Man you must not have been to the game. BCC totally disrespected the women of FAMU. Their announcer called FAMU women FREAKS. So don't go hatin on the brother just for making a joke.

  • No disrespect. He asked if there were any Rattler volunteers.

  • This was a very good performance. The FAMU show was boring to me and I love FAMU but i give credit where its due

  • BCC, Congradulations on the opening your colleges of Hair & Nails, Car Detailing and Barber College to now become BCU. CONGRADULATIONS! A job well done. NOW GO GET YOUR SHINE BOX!

  • you a hating ass n!gga. Just be glad there is an institution of higher learning for ALL to attend. Learn how to spell too n!gga

  • Holness06,spoken like a true wildcat. You sound like you came from that institution on higher learning...my n!gga!

  • So this is the kind of students BCU is producing That's right make HER proud

  • why down a fellow black institution for becoming something better? There is plenty of people that dont even want them around because they know we are putting out great students which are taking over in all industries. Exactly the same reason why fsu has been trying to take over famu for years. Hbcu's are a dying breed we are all we have and we have to stay united so we all can make sure that the same thing that happened to morris brown doesnt happen again.

  • What happened to Morris Brown???

  • he in miami shaking his ass

  • they lost their accredidation, however u spell it. im sure uve found that out now , but just in case..

  • FAMU is and has been fully accreditted. please stop spreading lies little high school child

  • i waz responding to some1 who asked what happened to Morris Brown...what the fuck dude...

  • No one has lost Accreditation...FOOL~ and we play the WILDCATS...LET'S GO...WAAAY BETTER THAN THEY DO, ITS A SHAME! BCC, BCU...BC WHO??? They should be shut down.(and have all of their band members sent to FAMU)

  • like i said, some1 asked what happened to Morris Brown, and i said "they lost their accredidation". i aint say nuthin bout famu or bethune cookman, so i dont know where that came from.. and you cant tell me morris brown hasnt lost their accredidation..

  • You would like for them talented young men and women of the Marching Wildcats to be sent to the Capital of Florida wouldn't you! Those so called marching 100 members wouldn't even be able to handle them! And, closed down, get out of here! Unlike famu, The "GREAT" Bethune-Cookman University is owned by it's trustees, alumni, and students ok...Not by the STATE!!!

  • So, is this comment intended to insult all of the African Americans whom make an honest living and contribute to society by cleaning cars, cutting and doing hair, and shineing shoe's. Think before you post. Most of our ancestors have made ways for you and I by cleaning and polishing shoes for others.

  • BORING!!!
