Honestly, both bands sound excellent!!! FAMU is a great band. But, I must say… BCU is #1!! Great Personality!!! Great Spirit!!! Great Dancers (14K Gold)!!! Pure Authentic HBCU Band Soul at its’ VERY BEST!!! Always a Fantastic Show!!! BCU Marching Wildcats = HBCU Band Perfection!!! 💯
FAMU & BCU Bands performs quality Music Literature that requires students to be able to read music. Music is a Universal Language and if you can read music, you can perform with any musician in the world. Sorry, we don't rote train our students, or play by ear. And we perform all dynamic levels from pianissimo to fortissimo with musicality.
I just want folks in this chat to understand famu and bcu is top tier bands and can hold their own in any level even swac I get tired of folks being n the band world and elsewhere talking nonsense that they don’t kno both can play very well loud and with power
I've noticed that bands like famu and many 300+ pwi bands can have around 100 woodwinds. Famu often has around 50 in the drum line (at least in past years). That's 150 right there!
"Both bands are boring" - here's what we mean: music has an emotional factor (how it makes you feel). FAMU & BCU sound good but the music lacks emotion; the students seem to play from their head (memory) not their heart (passion). And If they're not feeling it, neither are the listeners. So it's not really that they're boring, we just feel no emotion while they're playing. 💁🏾♂️ They Sound good though.
Hmm 🤔🤔I tend to get chills from their cleanliness, chords , singing etc . That’s a very happy , emotion lol . I just think there are people who get a kick out of what they do and there are people who get a kick out of what all other bands do , which is basically play with more power . Those are great bands as well .
@@thomasperkins2990 🤔 Sometimes. But "power" isn't the sole indicator. In every written piece, there are specific musical terms to dictate Dynamics, Tempo, & Style - *all* these are indicators. I think the musical terms for Style (ie Affecto, Dolcissimo, Appassionato, Adagio, etc) convey emotion moreso than dynamics (f, ff, fff). 🤷🏾♂️ just my thoughts though.
Not true. For one the camera was damn near in front of Cookman and FAMU was still cutting through them. Especially when they got to playa full song like vice versa towards the end. You’re very delusional. Whomever that camera person was clearly a Cookman fan because famu at the end of the video didn’t finish their song but the video got cut off
Ugh... this was really boring and lack luster. I was expecting more. The early intros to the skating on some of the songs, just meh! Both bands need some new band directors. I feel like the energy is just so drab. They have talented musicians but ugh, give them something to work with.
We don’t need new band directors, FAMU band program is going in the direction that it’s supposed to go in. These are stand songs that are played at every game. Famu book is expanding slowly but surely. 🤷🏾♂️
@@flightsdj Ohhhh bro I didn’t mean it like that I agree with him lol. I’m just saying I remember when he use to try to defend cookman a while back when there book was bad and it’s funny seeing that he’s on there ass now too💀💀

So many haters call famu and bcu boring but always rank lower than both of them. Blah blah blah
They're trolls, pay them no attention.

Why is Wells on that tall ass ladder in the stands?
😂😂😂
Thanks for the footage 🔥
No Problem!
That Vice Versa Battle tho 😮💨
Top tier vid both bands won in my opinion
For all you haters! FAMU got Penalize for playing too loud so they had to stop playing doing the game.
did they actually?
@@Zeussxs they did, one of the plays after a touchdown we got a penalty because they couldn’t hear on the field
Don't entertain these trolls
Just curious they don't penalize Southern or Jsu or other bands etc famu can play a little louder
@@MrAccousticplayer well Su or Jsu dont even play during the game 😒
why is famu woodwind section so big 😭
I've noticed that bands like famu and many 300+ pwi bands can have around 100 woodwinds. Famu often has around 50 in the drum line (at least in past years). That's 150 right there!
It's apart of their signature sound. Woodwinds are vital to their arrangements and marches they play unlike any other hbcu
Most bands are brass heavy but FAMUs signature sound is more woodwind heavy. It's a nice change.
Best piccolo section in the country!
9:35, he did all that, but got knocked down by his own teammate, lol.
Good footage!!!
Thank you! ✊🏾

Does more power = more emotion to you ?

BCC won that
Bcu sounds like a white school they do everything a white school do Please show yo black.

That first song tho
Famu is too talented to be so Dam boring n dry 💯💯
Let them tell it they not! LOL!
Yet you still came, watched AND commented. You’re either secretly obsessed or a fan.
@@thesaxmagician so have others from famu on southern vids so your point is
@@thesaxmagician ya dam right I came to watch… and who’s gonna stop me .. like I said FAMU IS TOO TALENTED TO BE SO DAM BORING N DRY 💯💯
@@thesaxmagician honestly I came to see the better band BCU 💯💯
Boring af SMH. Can we give them back to the Meac and we'll take KSU and Tennessee State in the SWAC.
facts would be a much more entertaining conference band wise, hell I will take AT&T and Norfolk
Sorry not happening. These two schools are here to stay so get over it.
@@fabionwilson6992 Norfolk all day but FAMU and BCU are up there too
@@fabionwilson6992 Definitely A&T and Norfolk. They have the SWAC aggression when its needed
SWAC needed FAMU and BCU. SWAC lacked musical talent. All they do is crank hype songs and it sounds like shit. These 2 bands bring quality
The battle of the trash cans
If that’s how you feel then continue to watch Jsu videos and leave us b,cuz we don’t be asking for your attention it’s so simple Dawg
@@thegoodboi9886 you’re a little emotional I see
@@THEEGoat1400 nah I ain’t hype,I just notice you be on famu videos occasionally to be negative for no reason when u don’t have to watch
@@thegoodboi9886 I don’t watch, I comment. It’s a difference
@@THEEGoat1400 don’t see how commenting what you comment is beneficial either
Bcu won this lil exchange.... famu is extremely boring
Who is Bcu you never hear about Bcu band ???
@@davidpowe9865 wtf that got to do with anything... they still won this exchange...
They were quiet the entire game lol.
Dawg…BCU barely played the whole game. If you was there you’d know😭
And m100 had to keep cutting off cuz the game be fr man.
Eh both bands are kinda sloppy great sound but arrangements leave much to be desired
░p░r░o░m░o░s░m░
love bcu and famu but i swear yall gotta stop playing vice versa
That’s HBCU gold though lol. I love It. Just like “Neck”
Ugh... this was really boring and lack luster. I was expecting more. The early intros to the skating on some of the songs, just meh! Both bands need some new band directors. I feel like the energy is just so drab. They have talented musicians but ugh, give them something to work with.

@@DScott2010 We agree to disagree 🤷🏽♂️
@@DelmusicLover 🤷🏾♂️ I guess we can
The most boring battle ever.
Both of these bands sooooo boring....OMG!
It’s crazy cause I remember u use to be BCU number 1 fan begging them to play new music 😂😂😂😂
@@Gil172 you don’t kno bro chill it’s ok man let niggas have opinions😂
@@flightsdj Ohhhh bro I didn’t mean it like that I agree with him lol. I’m just saying I remember when he use to try to defend cookman a while back when there book was bad and it’s funny seeing that he’s on there ass now too💀💀

🚮 SU Human Jukebox, Often Imitated, Never Duplicated...
NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE WANTS TO BE LIKE THEM 😂😂 there very unbalanced and apply no dynamics
@keepingupwithnasaun7782 Not true! Most of the legacy SWAC bands try to imitate SU.
It is sad. JSU used to be great but they suck since tryna imitate the human pukebox
