Man I remember being at this game... My heart will forever have that Marching Wolverine Pride but Howard sure got the best of us. I was on the field during this song and the whole time my face was like DAMN, this ish sounds nice!!! Great arrangement Howard, the best that I've heard, even better than ours!!
The best big band arrangement and performance of Cameo's "Skin I'm In" ever. The Band Director and the entire band have a creation to remember for their entire lives
they have like 70 ppl, they sound like 200. That is the best of example of POWER. also i think i hear African elements within the song. therefore making the song a good song
Good Job Howard...they've always played the hell out of this song..and has been one of my favorites from them...Howard, Hampton and SCSU are some of the most slept on bands in the MEAC...
That day a 70 member strong Howard University Band blew away the 200 member Morris Brown University Band with this rendition of "Skin I'm In" by Cameo. The level of syncopation and coordination will forever be a classic masterpiece
This is the real skin in! Howard posted a new video with I guess the current band and it’s NOWHERE near where it used to be when my sister was playing!
I love Skin I'm in when it's played this fast cause they make the melody sound more powerful. I'm not an SU fan or other college band but at one time, I saw SU played it like HU did and I liked theirs because they played it using a lot of staccato and it made it sound real powerful.
this was my sophomore year...if you look at the clip of us playing 2001 i'm the clarinet with hair all over the place lol...anyway...i remember this game like it was yesterday! i love my band (well, at least from 01-04....now....eh.) Ebony Ice Clarinet Section, SL FA03 Eta Delta Chapter, Tau Beta Sigma Alpha Eta Chapter, Gamma Sigma Sigma
OUT OF ALL THESE MUTHA f*%$@S ON HEAR TALKIN OUT THE SIDE OF THEY NECK KNOW THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD A BETTER VERSION THAN THIS ONE AND NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER PLAYED THE WHOLE SONG NOW I LOVE FAMU MORRIS BROWN TEXAS A&M AND GRAMLING BUT CANT NOBODY MESS WIT HU SKIN.
I’m reading these comments “they only had 70 people” “they only had 9 trumpets”…. Is the footage THAT grainy y’all can’t see everyone in the band?? lol, as someone actually in this clip, I assure you showtime was larger than 70 people and we had far more than 9 trumpets in Fall 2002.
Yeah man ya'll got us real good... I remember when ya'll stole the halftime show esp when ya'll played that Dilemma by Nelly & Kelly Rowland that was tight!!! My dude Jared was one of them mellos/f-horns holding it down.
Whoa i didnt too much like it at the beginning but at 4:17 with the screaming and precision with the notes, change my whole outlook on the song. Oh and its a pretty good arrangement to
Truthfully it really doesn't about the arrangement. if ur comparing bands ppl. SU out plays Howard by far. Howard is out numbered but the reality of the situation is that SU is better flat out
It's was ok arrangement i liked it for the facted that i have never heard it played like that but MBC has a better arrangement of skin and FAMU and TnSU even tho they don't have any video of it on here but Good Job Howard
Howard has the BEST version of Skin I'm In.
Agree
You not lying.. I give them credit. we played their exact arrangement in high school.
Period!!!!!
Always has!!!
It bumping but juke box is bumping to
HOWARD HAS THE BEST ARRANGEMENT. I'M A DIZZIAC AND I LOVE TO HEAR BRASS COUNCIL ON THIS ONE. NUTTS OUT THE BELL FOR REALL.

miss this howard 😔
I was there that night, MB did not have an answer to this, HU shut down the 5th with this. Man, this version of Showtime was the truth!
Good Job Howard...they've always played the hell out of this song..and has been one of my favorites from them...Howard, Hampton and SCSU are some of the most slept on bands in the MEAC...
My all time best from Howard no band has done it better 💰💰💰
I wish HU's trumpets were always this strong. They are straight up beastin'
Love the chants im inlove With Howard!!
LOL, far from bored player. The crowd was loving it and Morris Brown was not expecting it from this size band. It was a great battle.

howard play the hell out of everythin. i love this band
This is the real skin in! Howard posted a new video with I guess the current band and it’s NOWHERE near where it used to be when my sister was playing!
My sophomore year, babay!!! I'll never forget this game. LOL
By far, best arrangement.
Great job by every section,from woodwinds on down, or up in this case. Well done by Director, Arranger and Student musicians
Yes, but this arrangement was done by Adolph E. Wright.
YO MAN, that thing is RiGHT, they straight went HAM on it man!!!
they did play skin like cameo was the band director
That cymbal work was magnificent, and I don't even play percussion. The drums were outstanding, but the tubas really kept the rhythm
Probably the best game I played. Even I expected for us (Howard) to get blown out that night. We surprised me that game.
I can't front, I really like this version!
This is tiiiiiiight!!!! Go HU! Off the chain!
That's my section! Tubas gettin it!
i been hearing skin for a long time since like the 80s and they played the shit out of this one , nice job
Best I've heard from Howard so far.
Gottt dayum!!!! Howard's trumpets were goin' off that night!!!!
This Is My Favorite Version.!
Just got accepted! and once I get the money to pay for it, expect to hear this power again
Damn. I ain't know they had it like that either! GOT DAMN!
Best arrangement I've heard
I miss HU!! Bison til the day I Die!!
I am going to go to this college when I finish High School. This college rocks!!!
southern version is a killer to and the ending is sick
Are you serious? "Skin I'm In" by the legendary Funk Band Cameo, recorded in 1988
Very true...i wish more people would volunteer to march.
I love Skin I'm in when it's played this fast cause they make the melody sound more powerful. I'm not an SU fan or other college band but at one time, I saw SU played it like HU did and I liked theirs because they played it using a lot of staccato and it made it sound real powerful.
I love this arrangement... a little on the long side but that intro is str8t fiya.
Houward State yall wax that shit. Yall play it better than we do. MVSU Holla
@J19191911 morris brown wanted to go home...buuuuuut they stayed and played 2-3 songs after we left out of the stands lmao. ok. you got it
@Gentleman1911 I WASNT THERE BUT LIKE MORRIS BROWN I WASNT EXPECTING THIS SOUND QUALITY EITHER GOOD JOB HOWARD
man, i played tuba back in high school and they waas get n it. percussion section was off the chain.
No 'probably' about it. This is the undisputed best arrangement of Skin I'm In. Even Cameo should be taking notes lol
U right to lol
this was my sophomore year...if you look at the clip of us playing 2001 i'm the clarinet with hair all over the place lol...anyway...i remember this game like it was yesterday! i love my band (well, at least from 01-04....now....eh.)

I love this.
Council.. " We came to play!!"
HU baby
I always give credit when credit is due, and you're right there's nothing wrong to admit to something, even when it comes to band...
Yeah man ya'll got us real good... I remember when ya'll stole the halftime show esp when ya'll played that Dilemma by Nelly & Kelly Rowland that was tight!!! My dude Jared was one of them mellos/f-horns holding it down.
This is the best thing...the only thing I like that Howard plays...the best version of Skin I ever heard.
@grandmasterjax21 its more of a Go Go feel (which is popular in DC) that you here in the song.
yes howard has the best arrangement..even tho i'm a jsu fan
Most fun game I ever marched.

In the immortal words of the FAMU announcer to Alabama State, "Touching. A little high school. But touching!"...lol

Skin I'm In
Beastin killin southern in this one I listen to both of them and Howard
SO FUNNY
Whoa i didnt too much like it at the beginning but at 4:17 with the screaming and precision with the notes, change my whole outlook on the song. Oh and its a pretty good arrangement to
UBA PHI TUBA!
Tenor drums...where'd they go?
Yessssss!
SU. Nobody does it better!!!
PICS DAMN!!!!
Beastly
Truthfully it really doesn't about the arrangement. if ur comparing bands ppl. SU out plays Howard by far. Howard is out numbered but the reality of the situation is that SU is better flat out
UHHH yes they do sir
What year is this?
whoa!!!
Those fucking trumpets
LOL!! I saw the smoke and it was thick!
agreed
4:20....
damn right...
Good arrangement but I was ready for it to end at the three-minute mark. As my old band director would say, "enough is enough and too much won't do".
was kelvin washington at howard when this was recorded?
you didn't like A&T's?
@jerrett747 Show me what high school that sounds like....
loved this :D whats the words in the beginning ?
I hear some txsu influence in this arrangement 😀
other way around😭
what are you talking about?
I play trumpet
I was off by 1 bone... lol
man they stayed crunk on on this song for like 10 min.Truefuly and trust me SU is one of the best bands but howard own skin.
@doverhigh you know this isnt neck right?
Well this was against Morris Brown so it was probably 2002
sounds like an high school if you ask me.
This sounds way better than Morris Brown's version.
It's was ok arrangement i liked it for the facted that i have never heard it played like that but MBC has a better arrangement of skin and FAMU and TnSU even tho they don't have any video of it on here but Good Job Howard
they only had 9 trumpets this year.
Wow!
really i play for howard wat do u play?
