I love the way JSU used their woodwinds, but FAMU is the MASTER of that smooth, symphonic sound where all parts and sections are heard with exquisite balance❤
@@Acekenobi9 boredom only if you like banging and blasting more than musicality. I still love JSU and all my HBCUs, but that banging/blasting/ battle SWAC band culture is disturbing. The SWAC dance teams are 🔥though
@@litsupa1002 Y'all really got to come up with some new insults and excuses. High Schools are able to achieve that "power sound" that y'all rave about in the SWAC. Yet y'all say we sound High School. Yet no one can achieve the balance nor sound the 100 produces. So no, we won't go to the Opera with that....we'll go to Paris with that. We set the standards for others to follow.
ok that tina turner was fire. hbcu's got to remember when our legends die we need to pay homage to them. i hope to hear more people playing her music this season she earned it
The acoustics in that stadium were awful but both bands sounded incredible. Sounds like we are in for a great season of SWAC marching band performances. Salute to a job well done by both bands. Wow!!!
FAMU sounds wonderful, as they always do. The Boom is sounding fabulous, as they always do… I think it’s lost on the younger folks (under 40) to just enjoy the music, instead of critiquing every iota. It’s an unrealistic expectation to think all of our bands are gunna sound the same. Each has its own style and grooves in its own way. It’s been 33 years since I marched in the Boom, and I’ve stopped giving Ls and Ws.. it’s wasted energy… Just enjoy the music, yall. FAMUs arranging and instrumentation is masterful on that you hear every voice, especially the woodwinds. The 100 reminds me of how Valley sounded in the 70s and 80s under Dr. Tramiel. Nobody sounded like Valley back then and nobody tried to. And they were fabulous.
People seem to gravitate towards JSU because of their volume. Most bands in the SWAC appear to blow with all their might. It’s like they are blowing their lungs out. The low brass can only blow a note or two before having to breathe. That’s not musical. FAMU has musicians in their band. Symphonic, Concert, ensemble and solo quality musicians. They are not trying to rupture their lungs or lips. Their arranger is one of the finest in the nation. Now while I enjoy the HBCU band experience, never forget that FAMU is the Standard that all others continue to mimic.
I wouldn't say converting... more like adjusting and "reading the room" better. Because you know we have plenty of marches locked and loaded incase anyone wants to try it. ✊🏿
And just when I thought famu was gonna throw back a March I was dead ass wrong they really sound good I was highly impressed Jackson well is just Jackson lol they brought the power that damn Tina turner what's love gotta do with it and I love your smile ( although they didnt play it in the 5th) is my favorite heavy hitter from them 🔥🔥 and Famu Free Mind by Tems is also a heavy hitter 🔥🔥🔥 overall this was a great 5th again good job Famu 👏 still pissed with yall and jackson for not showing up at the parade everybody was pissed lol this sort of made up for it 😂😂😂😂
Famu Sounds INCREDIBLE! WOW! That "soon as I get home" is just so golden. "Annihilate" sounds so regal like. So royal. Sounds more like the real song than any other arrangement i've heard so far IMO.
That's the thing. JSU played something else that they felt like sounded like Annihlate, but actually sounded like wild horses galloping on hoods of junkyard cars. But i get it, there's a fanbase for that.@@litsupa1002

@@burner_boy oh definitely was saying they ain’t take this battle as serious as they will for the rest of the season. Especially since southern next week
When JSU played the same song back at FAMU with the same finesse but with power that was dagger that ended FAMU 😂😂😂JSU was already winning 3-1 before that. Great battle

I think that’s something that gets lost in the FAMU is 300+ discussions. At least 100 of those are woodwinds. Brass for brass JSU, SU etc usually have the same or more brass than Famu on avg
No. They never travel with the entire band. It costs a lot of money to transport over 300 people and instruments from Jackson, Mississippi to Miami. Well over $200K. They have a travel band that works within their budget.
FAMU music just don't have no soul to it a grove to it....the arrangements are to square for me sound like they have timing issues in alot of their arrangements.....songs being played to fast or to slow and then got all these instruments and you can barely hear them
Their arrangements are very vanilla. But you can’t convince them that it’s a big issue, especially now that they’re in the SWAC. At least they didn’t play any marches this time. That’s an improvement. The next hurdle is teaching them to play with some funk and soul.
JSU sounds Like JSU, Humping, Barking and Blasting as Always. FAMU is Always consistent with the Tradition of Musicality, Balance, Versatile Quality Control Musicianship. Weather It Be, Dance Routine, Field Drills (no Squares and Circles and Step 2s), Fanfares, Ballets, Warmups, You'll hear all the color of instruments backed up by warm brass section. I'll take that over everything. Now Imagine If They Stood Up And Played 5th Quarter. They sound good sitting down. They seems to never have to hump to prove a point. Both bands were good. Welcome to the SWAC FAMU. As the Islay Brothers say, Don't Change 🐍🐍🐍
FAMU’s arrangements were suspect, along with the execution. The arrangements had any non-beginner level rhythms from the original song cut out, or when the rhythms were actually left in the band fumbled through them
Acoustics in this stadium are awful it did neither band Justice. I do have jsu as a winner here but it’s slight. If famu hadve played with more colorful and layered arrangements they would’ve won this. JSU had balance and tempo issues but book and dynamics was better for them.
I can understand the viewpoint. I think it's really a matter of our better execution vs. their more engaging book. I think the winner really depends on how you feel about round 3, I like us the first two and JSU got the last two imo
It hurts me to say this, but JSU slept on the Grass Snakes and caught a L!! 🫵🏽😂🫵🏽😂🫵🏽😂 about to be a rough start to the 2023 Season cause this weekend gone hurt JSU real good. 💙💛 #Kangz
What is this lingering statement of "Converting", folk we been playing the WACK conference for over 50ty years and been doing the what we do... Yall folk need to catch up, and stop playing hole, half, and quarter notes as loud as you can, for as long as you can, and out of tune as you can... "WACK CONFRENCE" Simple 2 step drills, sound distorted and lost of volume on your drills, P-Valley girl routines, and nothing on the dance routine. Just blow loud...
And the issue is y’all continue to run with this narrative as if rap tunes are the only thing SWAC bands play. Theme songs, marches and ballads are all in the book of most SWAC bands. Leave that 🦝 mentality on that 7th hill. 🫡
JSU + SU = LOUD, LOUD & LOUD Zero Balance, Blend & Tone Quality But I enjoy seeing their instruments go up & down while they're blowing their lungs out....the WHACK Conference is a trip, lol 😆 FAMU keeps the Main Thing the Main Thing....The Halftime Show!!!! WHACK keep your 5th Qtr Foolishness & Simple 2 - Step Drills 💚🧡💚🧡💚🧡💚
