  • You've gotta love a tight piccolo section.

  • Listen my musical Cohorts! FAMU is known (famed) for their uncanny ability to play in & most importantly, remain in tune throughout a piece; BRAVO! Do you not hear the studio quality of almost every one of their performances? I dare u 2 listen to any of a variety of mediocre sounding bands that doesn't focus on sound like FAMU, & u will run from the intonation! LOL! I love FAMU's band for superb taste & display of musicianship & hope to visit 1 day to see if this remarkable sound is real! Hail S

  • Fuck there's too many picalos!!!

  • @dbgb1234 Well I'd say that Brass give the foudation of the band to build off of. Woodwinds are inmporant thought, I'll give you that.

  • @lalala5126 any grade level can play a march, but i'm sure your middle school band is not going to sound as good as a good high school playing it

  • This band plays it beautifully...they even memorized the piece completely everyone is playing wonderful...from the woodwinds to the brass...just great I wish the camera that recorded this was capable of recording with better sound..FAMU is amazing...

  • Serious intonation issues from 0:54 to 1:21. Tubas sounded great during this run, however, rest of the band friggin sucked.

  • flute section sounds like an organ

  • this is one of my favorite pieces... euph part is probably one of the more 'fun' marches.

  • Definitely needed a better microphone than the one on-camera. And I'm guessing that the hall wasn't conducive to a good sound.

    Still I love marches like these. We played less spectacular ones at my grade schools, marches I certainly didn't miss during college.

  • FAMU is a university, just FYI

  • different arrangements. Lots of the grace notes in woodwind parts may be removed and the piece may be in a more manageable key than Db concert.
