I agree, The Aristocrats were simply outstanding!

Could the marching 500 have produced the same quality sound with The Aristocrats instrumentation. No! The marching 500 can't put together a constructive field drill. How in the hell can they march 10 yards forward and do some pinwheels and call that a drill. Name another band, in the same weight class, in the country that can produce the same quality of shows that The Aristocrats produce. None! We work hard to produce outstanding results.

dont hate on the "100" cause we're big... thats not our issue...

secondly, i've always liked the AOB... one of my favorite, respected bands... and while "today's" show was enteraining, the "100" was more entertaining... had yall performed this show AFTER the "100," it would really be alot worst than what it is... but thats neither here nor there...

in general, the AOB usually puts on "quality" shows... aint no denying that... but those shows are usually "boring"

That is a lie. TSU did a great job. I'm not a fan of the annoucer but let me tell you this...TSU sounded exceptional given the amount of people in the band. I thought FAMU would drown them out but they didn't. FAMU did a good job but with that amount of people they should produce a stronger sound that they do.

we dont play to be "loud" here at FAMU

Good show TSU!! Comparatively, FAMU is clearly on another level. The whole "FAM can't drill" thing is so ridiculous. There are various TYPES of drill styles.. The "step-two" drill is what most HBCU's have been using for decades, whereas, FAMU is moving and HAS moved away from them. Animation, calligraphic, step-one, are just a few that the 100 uses. Just because they choose to perform different drills, don't assume they CAN'T do a simple step-two. Now, HUBBA DAT!!

TSU is really a underestimated band they are really good. I still have to go with FAMU they are still the #1 band to beat. They bring excitement to halftime just about every performance....but TSU is definately a top band. Props to both fam and tsu....

I prefer straight lines, but FAMU has killed crowds with what they do and so has Big Blue TSU along with many others. Not sure about those bigger fish frying that dude commented on a ways back, because you guys look nothing like the programs mention and are not as precise. FAM locks in formation nicely, but care nothing for organized transitions and most HBCU's beat that straight line concept into you. The FAMU concept for drilling doesn't stress the maintaining of clearly defined lines.

[cnj393]

The FAMU can't drill thing is in reference to the execution of their shows. FAMU has moments where there isn't a straight line to be found on the field. Even in corp style bands there is more integrity in the transitions. FAMU will look like a bunch of people randomly moving about and in up making a SUV with FAMU in it. I don't like it, but it is what they do. Most HBCU's pride themselves on having straight lines at all times and FAMU & Cookmen at moments don't. Style difference guys and gals.

[blueswan2000]

TSU stood their ground in this performance. They just had very slight intonation problems to me. But I didn't expect this much. They entertained me more than Fam.
