There is no BAND RIVALRY like FAMU vs SOUTHERN. Both programs are PHENOMENAL. I can't wait until this RIVALRY is RENEWED. Only the mature are able to give credit where credit is due. #CarryON
I remember this game. SU fans was so disappointed they let FAMU come in and destroy them. They was big mad! That’s all I heard walking out the stadium.
After growing up watching the Bayou Classic, I was SURE that Southern was unbeatable...then mine eyes were opened when I was actually there to witness them getting blown out their own stadium! FAMU won this 5th Q battle. Field show comparisons aint even fair since SU has the same basic step 2 drill every performance. FAMU won the field show battle too.
@marcgreen441 I was 8 years old, and I'll be 32 in September. Wow, just wow! I thank God for creating the person who created TH-cam so we can watch videos like this.
I keep seeing the comment that Southern's arrangements are more complexed, yet the individual making this assumption is ONLY focusing on the TRUMPETS' part. This is foolhardy. Both programs are great. But to say that FAMU's arrangements are simplistic is asinine, especially when seeing Su have the horns, B-tones and Trumpets on the same note plus mostly whole notes. That argument seems biased. And to keep stating that you have a BS in Music is pointless when plenty of degree holders disagree. It's still an opinion. Also, I was at this game, thee video does Famu no justice. The power they packed that year was unreal. it literally hurt to stand in front of them. Thing is, they still played with balance. You needed to be there. This wasn't even close this year. And before you make the size argument, Famu was mostly woodwinds. The Brass was about the same. Count if you please. -There can only be One-
Get over it. It's been almost 20 years. Line em up now and it would be ugly. Let's see it was only a few years ago since the last creasing the "S" issued the 100...
Gordon Clark II Oan no way the brass sections as far as numbers close. That Tbone section was double the size of the Juke. Only section that was close was maybe eupho’s.
Many times they are, simplistic that is.....The exception are for the most part in the ballads and marches....Other songs are written wayyyyyyy to simplistically for my taste....
If I’m being honest SU edged FAMU out by not doing too much in their arrangements and staying true to themselves. Crazier thing is going to be look at any other year and it’s the same result the jukebox BEEN destroying FAMU. Pick a year lmao!
I am from Florida and was at this game, because I played football for SU. I was talking smack about FAMU (Florida) coming to show Louisiana something. But, I was very impressed at how an undermanned SU band won this battle of the bands. I was there to see it all. It was a rainy shootout of a game. Southern won the game in a tough 50-49 victory I believe.
IKYFL. LMAO. If you were at this game like you say, You'd know this wasn't even a close battle. FAMU won on sound, intonation, song selection, halftime, stands, and every other way, which is why you see so few videos of this game. People didn't even want to remember this game, and we know SU records EVERYTHING. I LOVE SU, but we can't be biased here. And as far as the outnumbered thing goes, FAMU'S extra numbers are due to a large WOODWIND section. So if you're saying that FAMU won from their numbers, you'd be saying that their woodwind section overpowered your brass section. Smh.
I don't see how FAMU can wax anybody's ass playing that simple music. SU was clearly superior in my opinion. and no I'm not a SU alumni. however I do have a bachelors in music. KAPsi spr. 76' yo!
I'm trying to see where you're coming from. To me it seem that FAMU has the more difficult arrangements with all the counter melodies and moving woodwind parts. I guess it's a matter of taste, and the contrast in styles from swac to meac. Both bands sound good but for me FAMU just sounds better.
Yeah both bands sound good but to me SU sounds better. I like the brassy, screaming trumpet sound. I am NOT a southern alumni nor FAMU. however I love both bands I just prefer the SU Jackson State sound. Peace I am a Albany State university graduate. Music Education, BS.
another thing! I don't hear no powerful brass coming from FAMU. I don't hear no screaming trumpets coming from FAMU. they're playing simple music...SMDH
Ofcourse that FAMU band doesn't. SU don't need gimmicks or a thousand people in the band to sound good. FAMU needs gimmicks or something now that they only have a few people in the band because they really don't sound good at all now.
And I am certainly not a FAMU hater. I'm just a musician myself making a point of observation. to me FAMU has never been able to play with SU. and they certainly cannot March with them! that's out of the question.
Sir.. you are the only person in history to say that Famu plays simple music. The arraignments that Famu has are unmatched. And this particular battle SU is the one i hear playing alot of hole notes and the same notes i may add! If you want to hear low brass power skip to 5:55 . Mind you they are completely across the field! I wasn't in Famu's band but I still have no clue what you are listening to.. You may want to listen to "open my heart" again. Beautiful!
first of all brother, I know plenty musicians that say the same thing about FAMU that I said. Actually that's what brought my attention to it. I didn't say they couldn't play technical music. Now that would be silly. but the arrangements are very simple. Especially when compared to the arrangements that Southern University play. SU is a brass machine. So is JSU, BAMA State, and a few other SWAC bands. I'm talking about FAMU prior to the suspension,not now! They really have gone down now. But hell that's nothing new. FAMU has never been able to play with SU on that tip. FAMU was aeesome in concert formation. But hell that's it! You guys need to stop fooling yourselves. At one time you had the largest marching band in the world, but that didn't make you the best. that's you all's thinking.
There is no BAND RIVALRY like FAMU vs SOUTHERN. Both programs are PHENOMENAL. I can't wait until this RIVALRY is RENEWED. Only the mature are able to give credit where credit is due. #CarryON
They bringing the rivalry back next football season
September 2019 in Bragg....😜💯
Well not anymore but i do hope it gets renewed because i love old famu
Famu in the SWAC now
RIP Kofi 😢
I remember this game. SU fans was so disappointed they let FAMU come in and destroy them. They was big mad! That’s all I heard walking out the stadium.
FAMU won this after I heard SU play incomplete.
I see what u mean. 😅
Sure did
After growing up watching the Bayou Classic, I was SURE that Southern was unbeatable...then mine eyes were opened when I was actually there to witness them getting blown out their own stadium! FAMU won this 5th Q battle. Field show comparisons aint even fair since SU has the same basic step 2 drill every performance. FAMU won the field show battle too.
Well obviously you weren’t watching the Bayou Classic at all. Because Grambling usually spanks that ass.
Look Southern that’s called clarity and articulation y’all should try it out.
FAMU bullied SU into submission 🤣
This vid was filmed 14 years ago to the day!!!! Wow how time flies!!! Hubba 100!!!!
Now it's almost 20 to the day
It's 24 years now
@marcgreen441 I was 8 years old, and I'll be 32 in September. Wow, just wow! I thank God for creating the person who created TH-cam so we can watch videos like this.
Famu destroyed su in this game no debate
THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR
HUBBA 100!!!!
Hubba Hundred!
RIP Nick 😢
Those Mellophones have a beautiful part. One thing about Lindsey and Ronald Sarjeant, they will have the mellophones singing in an arrangement.
southern was outnumbered. Famu brass AND woodwinds dont fck around either. I luv both of these bands tho!
man that open my heat killed this whole video!
Southern shouldn't play ballads. That is not their strength. Distant Lover and Incomplete sounded like crap.
i just heard them play "through the fire" a few days ago and it was lit. maybe that was the case back in 2000 but not today.
Heat out the corner!!!!

+Gordon Clark II You're a very intelligent individual. You don't have to rationalize yourself to a bunch of idiots.
Get over it. It's been almost 20 years. Line em up now and it would be ugly. Let's see it was only a few years ago since the last creasing the "S" issued the 100...
+Dayvon Savage However you guys did take the W on this particular night.
Gordon Clark II Oan no way the brass sections as far as numbers close. That Tbone section was double the size of the Juke. Only section that was close was maybe eupho’s.
Many times they are, simplistic that is.....The exception are for the most part in the ballads and marches....Other songs are written wayyyyyyy to simplistically for my taste....
Yeah, Southern's Incomplete was hard to listen to. The phasing was horrible among other things. Their band is not built for concert selections.
Bob Bob i believe they are much improved on that now.
Blast City, playing in block band, and in the stands.
Playing and moving is not what they do...
MEAC!!! All day, Everyday.
Try that now famu 2k18
They get their chance in the fall 😂
The feds is the only thing that could take down the 100 no other band before that young man died "fall 01"
If I’m being honest SU edged FAMU out by not doing too much in their arrangements and staying true to themselves. Crazier thing is going to be look at any other year and it’s the same result the jukebox BEEN destroying FAMU. Pick a year lmao!
SU SOUND LIKE ISH
I am from Florida and was at this game, because I played football for SU. I was talking smack about FAMU (Florida) coming to show Louisiana something. But, I was very impressed at how an undermanned SU band won this battle of the bands. I was there to see it all. It was a rainy shootout of a game.

Spoken like a true football player. FAMU won, no doubt about it. SU is great, this just wasn’t their night.
Lies 😂😂
#FabulousDancingDolls
8:52! 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
Famu playing eighth notes and whole notes
Southern can’t even sustain whole notes
I don't see how FAMU can wax anybody's ass playing that simple music.
SU was clearly superior in my opinion.
and no I'm not a SU alumni.
however I do have a bachelors in music.
KAPsi spr. 76' yo!
Your opinion is your opinion. But to say FAMU is playing simple music is just not true. It makes me not value your opinion. Seems biased in some way.
Anybody can play marches. The are nothing but scales.
Everything else that they're playing is simple as hell.
I'm trying to see where you're coming from. To me it seem that FAMU has the more difficult arrangements with all the counter melodies and moving woodwind parts. I guess it's a matter of taste, and the contrast in styles from swac to meac. Both bands sound good but for me FAMU just sounds better.

No worries Nupe! Phi Nu Pi
another thing! I don't hear no powerful brass coming from FAMU.
I don't hear no screaming trumpets coming from FAMU.
they're playing simple music...SMDH
Famu doesn't need gimmicks !
Ofcourse that FAMU band doesn't. SU don't need gimmicks or a thousand people in the band to sound good.
