Actually thats the ENTIRE reason UF wanted us to come there. They didnt want a drill and concert selection. It was one of the(if NOT the MAIN) reason UF agreed to play FAMU's football team IF we bring the band and they put on a signature performance. Please make sure you understand the situtation before you go on a rant.
It was no minstrel show. EVERYONE and EVERY school knows about our marching. They know what we do. They enjoy it becuase it's down well. Like others stated, the "100" has been to UF numerous tims and each tme they love it. I even signed a few autographs after that performance. I see where you are coming from with you comment. We did the same thing in high school when we played a "white school.' Here at FAMU however, the band never changes who they are or what they do because of...
interesting POV....but,up until recently, wheneva we have a resticted time like we did in this game (7 mins), all we do is a dance routine...some like it, some dont...cant please everyone
There is no other HBCU band better than FAMU. some do come close, but all fall short to the glory of THE 100! Its not only our rep, its because we just sound,play and march better than any other band. We cant help if we are that good!
As a proud former member of the 100 I'd just like to say that the Gator Band did not get "owned" by the Hundred. The bands have two different styles which more attributable to the vast differences in their performances. In the world of HBCU FAUM excels and floats at the top, in the world of mainstream "white" or corps style bands UF holds it own too.
who they are performing for. if they band is moving (parades & halftime shows) you will see some dancing. When we only have 7 mins, the band will normally just do a dance routine. The crowed loved it and you can even hear them singing along. So relax made2shine, it's all good, the peeps at UF know the "100" can play their butts off.
That was done before the game in the gym. Played for our girls volleyball team. Damn near played everything in the book. lol. 7min hows, the band normally does a dance routine.
Hey Guys, aren't we all just here for the love of music? Where's the comradery among musicians? They had that alot back in the day, It's such a shame we've lost it. Yes Corps style and traditional styles are way different, but the overall goal is still the same, to entertain, not only the audience, but ourselves aswell. FAMU 07! Hooah!
I kinda get both arguments here. HBCU's should show those that are not familiar with our craft much more that just dancing because it is much more than dancing. But as an HBCU band, there must be a high level of excitement in unfamiliar territory and you pretty much have to give the people what they want. It works for Famu so that is all that matters.
no,its not always 7 mins esp at home....we always go over our alloted time?...this clip clearly states 6 mins and 50 secs....like i said earlier, CANT please everyone
can we plz stop with this whole "S.U." is better and we always prove it crap. its really starting to get old. And if u really were so much better u wouldnt have to find every FAMU video and say it , really just makes it seem like ur trying to prove it to yourself. I personally love Morris Brown's band, but u dont se me dissin FAMU because of it. Just watch the vid and enjoy it plz
sweetlips,give honor where it is due, famu can take out any band,corps style or not. p.s. it was famu whothe tone for other bands to follow in the spirit of excellence, musicianship,and showmanship and famu can do it all and go corps style and take out any band,even without dance routines and funky music ,so check them out in different settings and you will see that there is more to famu's band than meets the eye love you sweetlips and the gators but i will always love my rattlers Right on!
First, it was an honor to be present that day and I know MLK was was smileing from ear to ear to see a stand of approx. 70,000 caucasions rave heavily over FMAU and their perfomance (It was 1 hands down), and Second: With all due respect, THAT IS THE REAL 100, what ever yall got going on, on the highest of seven hills today, is sad (Superbowl or not). :(
Why you just can't be happy for the 100 University always invited the band every year to the Gator Growl. I know this is old but The 100 is still moving on hasn't slowed down. It's so sad that we talk. bad about each other from 1975 the 100 has been going to Gainesville so that was nothing new.
2 answer ur question we dont need 1. yea ur right if we did they wuld b real good. but when u hav a dance team it takes the attention away 4rm the band,and thats when people start comin 2 see the dance girls insted of the band...i.e. BCC
hold on lionelforbes23!! obviously u dont know the FAMU music program! we are about music 1st nost dancing!! the only reson y we culdnt do 1 of our precision drills is becuz we had a 7min time limit for our show!! and as far as the playin as loud as u can comment, thats 1 thing that the 100 dont do we always sacrfice volume for clarity, tone and intonation!
In response to the comment by gr8rchicken. You have no knowledge of the vast musical and marching repertoire of the Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University Marching One Hundred. I think that is rather sad. Do It Rattlers!
we dont claim 2 b tha best its been proven and documented that we are the best!! and as far as the uniforms go, that as 1 of our transitions going into 2004 when we all got new ones. and u still havent stated what band ur in?
I have seen every band in the SEC and would place LSU first, followed by Georgia, Auburn and Bama. There is a big drop-off to the next tier that includes USC, MSU, then UF and the rest. As far as HBC bands, I have been to Honda Battle of the Bands in Atl and would say FAMU is at the top with 4 or 5 others. SW DeKalb HS in Decatur, GA is damn tight for a bunch of teenagers. Best band I have seen is WVU, their pre-game show is untouchable. I also like Wisconsin.
the only thing the LSU tiger band has is the lovely ladies...and they are loose (i know - they've partied at my place before in Gainesville)... aside from that the LSU band is garbage...as is any band in the SEC. We don't do music in the SEC - we do football. And the FAMU and any band from a historically black college blows away any average white band from every other school...and the Best Damn Band in the Land and the Stanford Band would be included in this.
In response to the rhetoric concerning my original comment, let me reiterate. FAMU's band and Dr. Foster are legendary to say the least. However for a band and alumni that hold other HBCU's to the highest musical and discipline standards, some of your new found musical lackadaisicalness is a bit hypocritical. There is no reverse racism or contempt, but rather an honest opinion. Again the 100 is a sound musical aggregation but that was not shown here. To use your words it was a tad minstrel.
I think FAMU is a solid band (they lack in drills / patterns-in-motion, leave that to Southern) but otherwise excellent musicanship and Dr. Foster is a true pioneer and legend. However this show failed to show the quality of sound / skill FAMU is known for. I've always thought their aim was to prove HBCU's can do more than dance and play more than Top 40 Hits. (where are the marches) This show had energy and crowd response, but in my humble opinion FAMU missed a golden opportunity.
What opportunity did the 100 miss. Every year that 100 were invited to the gator bowl. So what in the hell are you talking about . It has never been a competition with these two schools. Every year they have the Gator Growl. .
@@bsuave9576 Why is it always a compitition with Southern. When you are known all over the world. Not just in your state it shows. The greatest band director that Southern ever had was Ronald Sarjeant RIP .And all the best of course his brother Lindsey Sarjeant. Who is the arranger for the 100. I don't know if it's jealousy or what. But yall are always on our page . The 100 is always great they don't ever worry about other bands. For every knock there is a boost. And the more that they criticize the better they are . Go back and listen to to Total Praise. It will get you in the right spirit.
1. Getting a dance team would be considered "being like everyone else." The Marching "100" got its name and fame from the band alone...even before the flag corp was added. 2. they wouldn't fit our style/format of band.
The sounded like shit. Especially on the sidelines. I was on FDL that year, and the musicianship of FAMU was absolutely terrible. They're entertaining to watch, but sound quality suffered. If the drumline spent some more time cleaning up sound and less time on visuals, it would be a lot more entertaining for me as a drummer, but I can understand why it's entertaining for the average person. That death march shit they do is pretty raw though. Saw a video at the Florida Classic.
"Absolutely The Finest ! The Marching " 100"
Personally I find it appauling that HBCU's don't play in any of the major conferences.
I was there at that game it was a aswesome atmosphere. The Gator fans were impressed they gave the band an standing ovation. Very exciting
Actually thats the ENTIRE reason UF wanted us to come there. They didnt want a drill and concert selection. It was one of the(if NOT the MAIN) reason UF agreed to play FAMU's football team IF we bring the band and they put on a signature performance.

I remember this performance. It was so loud!!
Had a Great Time at this game. Wish there was a better quality video out there.
what's the song at 3:28?
Windex from the 1990s choppa style
def want to find a better quality video

3:17 what's the song?
In Those Jeans by Ginuwine 🥰
da "100" dont make and/or need excuses; we state FACTS
UF Gators band was owned by the "100" that day...
UF probably didn't know what was going on out there in they field 😄
trust when we ran through those marches in the stands with no response from them musically everyone in the swap knew what we are capable of
no,its not always 7 mins esp at home....we always go over our alloted time?...this clip clearly states 6 mins and 50 secs....like i said earlier, CANT please everyone
tubas went hard on "aint never scared"

The correct Acronym is FAMU
Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University.
Ll University not FMAM

somebody please tell me that song they would play by timbalnd in 2003
Of course they are, it's human nature to be amused (envious) by talent one will never possess, therefore it must be downplayed as if it's no big deal.
gator band can get owned by any other band
In response to the comment by gr8rchicken. You have no knowledge of the vast musical and marching repertoire of the Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University Marching One Hundred. I think that is rather sad. Do It Rattlers!
U DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!
I remember them days. #FreeWorld,ect.

You inappropiately used the word tolerate, what you mean is, CAN'T do that type of dancing on the field.
I have seen every band in the SEC and would place LSU first, followed by Georgia, Auburn and Bama. There is a big drop-off to the next tier that includes USC, MSU, then UF and the rest.

@EcclesiaLLC
i hate to say it. but youre actually right. My friends grandparents are racists and they got a kick out of this performance.
you dont know what ur talking about.... but that never kept ppl from talking
Can you repeat that in english?
