i heard all the band in the swac play and famu is by far the best sounding band i have ever heard. famu make an impression on me back in the last seventy when famu played a song name Push. Now over 25 years later nothing has change.
Those chords along w/the horn choir on the ''who can I run too'' chorus are so warm and rich. I can't listen with the headphones on because I get chills and bumps from this. I wish y'all would send about a 30 piece band to play this arrangement at my wedding this fall! Hubba 100!
i play trombone at southfield lathrup and i could hear they part clear as hell we just got this song last week i cant wait to use it in a show this da shyt
you don't hear much of their bass drums, or their percussion for that matter, because of their concept of sound...feeling the percussion instead of hearing it
I listened to both. I didn't know what to expect from NSU, after listening to FAMU, but NSU BLEW THEIR ASSES OFF! I got chills listening to their version, especially 2:23 and beyond! FAMU is the biggest band of all HBCU's, that I know of, so it's expected that they sound nice, hell they have like 20 tubas! But I definitely did like NSU's version better, just slightly. The domes usually always kill FAMU's sound (as well as bad videos) and I didn't hear much from their bass drums, because of it
ANYONE who knows the least bit about melodies and counter melodies knows that The 100 stands ALONE with musical selections and not only the arrangements that WE play but the sound concepts that we were taught, some by THE MAESTRO himself Dr. William P. Foster(HUBBA DOC!) R.I.P, Bootsy Fall 1989! Sousaphones! But you know.
Thank-you u dawg I couldn't have explained it any clearer........THA 100's only competition is tha 100 from past years not other bands...it's no competition. What other schools don't understand is we don't even consider yall competition NSU,BCC orBCU SU whoever tha FUCK run up and get done up!!!!!!
LMAO @ "they actually let their woodwins participate a little bit on this one".... you must not really know anything about the FAMU band...we always utilize our woodwinds and they are always heard...unlike our friends down there at that beach in Daytona
i need help i cant choose whoese who can i run to is betters nsu or famu's i kno im on famu page but b truthnful dey both sweet as a bitch on dis song doe idk whose betta
wow...lol...do really believe what youre typing....lol...i have been following bands for the past 12 years and gave 5 years of service being a member of the Marching "100".....anyone who has any knowledge of HBCU bands will know that we have the best woodwind section; they play a major part in the sound that we have and they are always heard...IMO, i cant say the same for them
Its funny how all these second rate and below bands have so much to comment about FAMU, but when they see us in person they have nothing to say. Also, CMURDAH84 you are clearly mistaken about NCA&T diggin in our ass in 04 or any year for that matter.
Wow I can't believe what you typed. No offense but you must not have an ear for music and must simply be pretending. When you're arguing which band is better, it's more an argument of to each his own. But anybody knows that FAMU utilizes their woodwinds more than any other HBCU band. Honestly when you listen to FAMU band, they have a more balanced sound (you can hear all the voices) versus a brass heavy Cookman. And I'm from Daytona so I rep them right after FAM but the truth is the truth.
