I heard both FAMU and SU play this in person in '86, and both were great. Both were clean and well executed - just different styles. It's good to see that FAMU's musical philosophy has remained consistent over the years while most HBCU bands are into those dumb blast-a-thons.
-
if im not mistaken, the horns, baritones, alto saxes and clarinets carry that first verse.

"Bland" would not be the word I use. "Different" would suit it because the arrangement is different. In SU's arrangement, the "slides" are playing the melody. It sounds as though the euphoniums, horns, and woodwinds are playing the melody in FAMU's arrangement. Does any former FAMU band member out there know exactly who plays the melody on the 1st verse? I would like to know.

I feel ya man. The bone line is a lil bland compared to southern's. I like southern's arrangement better.
I miss THIS FAMU band. Bring back Foster!

It is a blessing to have the ability to compose those signature endings this band play. It's one of the many great attributes that make FAMU the great musical unit it is.
