I have to give to these young people the fact that that can carry those instruments and play that long,I salute them.

I'm 29 years old with a beer belly and I can still keep a 90 degree angle

I ALWAYS GET CHILLS WATCHING THESE BANDS!!! THEY ALWAYS SLAY TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!

Omg!! That's why you don't skip leg day. DM was like a baby deer out there

My mother worked at the ROTC Dept before her passing and my big Brother was aWhite Whale in the Matching 100 go guys. Always an alumni.

I went to a hbcu (Grambling) so I know how a band is suppose to execute. Something is not right. I have never seen a dm struggle like that before. usually dm's are perfection.

The short DM was on the wrong foot most of the entrance ... And thru everyone else off... Bring back the old FamU

Love it when the drum majors start stepping💚❤

*READS COMMENTS* The word everybody is looking for is "discipline." They lack it. It's gone.

Back in the 80's Famu was the best in the world 60 minutes 20/20 Ebony Magazine I didn't think I was going to make the band but we practice over and over again until I got it right the slow one was the easiest part and there was no counting period!!..It was done in our minds ... Drumajors had to be 6ft and above this is Army Dog Fall 1983

LMAO @the DM! Homie was either still drunk from the night before or his arthritis was killing him🤣

I remember a DAY When the RATTLER STRIKE was ur Knee had to be SO HIGH ur Thigh was a 90 degree from the Ground, ur Balance was So Impeccable, the "Strike" went at LEAST, HALFWAY Around the Field (50 to 50). But then, that was a Time when the "100" was SO PRESTIGIOUS they would NEVER Dawn a BASEBALL CAP while performing on the Field, even the Flags wore Berets!!!! But that was a Time when the Band NOT ONLY LOOKED like the BEST BAND in the Land, the "100" WAS the BEST BAND in the LAND...And NONE Of the Drum Majors were abt to FALL DOWN!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️💔

This is one of the better videos I've seen of the Marching 100. They are tremendous, for sure!!

As a FAMU graduate in the 70’s , I remember The 100 tearing up the field with the RATTLER coming of the field between the drums. What happened to this SIGNIFICANT part of the routine??? Five Degrees later, I am still a RATTLER first and now, a ALABAMA “ROLL-TIDE” DST!!! CUT - UP. RATTLERS!!!!!! MOVING. UP!!!

That one Dm could not hold it but I’m glad they have new uniforms.

Drum Majors can't hold prancing and walking with high steps. Okay! Okay! FAMU what's up with those flags boys lol my lawed! Never ever seen it before ..

Great coverage! I don’t really know this 100. Nobody seems to be having fun. The drum majors no longer look uniform with each other..I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s a high school feel to this 100.

OMG!! As a former member of an HBCU marching band......that leg.......that drum major.........too shaky!!

Lot of criticism. Some definitely valid. FAMU marching band is reformulating and as you can imagine, there is a magnifying glass on them. That Robert Champion incident was very damaging. I'll just put it that way. It will take some time to build an elite band from scratch.

🎥 amazing coverage on the field !!

How did they make drum major?? Can’t hold the 45, and it’s the end of the season 🤦🏽‍♂️

Lmao damn bro gotta put that bottle down 😂 he couldnt keep that knee up for nothing 😂 I was praying that he didn’t mess up

After reading the comments I'm afraid to look !! They're scared for discipline since that dude got killed/murdered this is hard to watch .. SMDH a waste !!

The 100 used to be one of the best HBCU bands. This was painful to watch. The band is undisciplined and the DMs are apparently out of shape.

2 years later and this is still hilarious 😂😭

Great video. Loved the angles as always!!!

That death march entrance is the shit. Best entrance next to my nsu spartan legion coming in games blasting "behold"......

The Marching 100 is the first band I heard about when I moved to Florida. I need to see them at least once. I may go to the next classic.

Class of famu forever love u guys always.

I pray to God FAMU make a come back. ATL CLASSIC they use to show out 😫 that wat made me fall in luv

Alabama State used to run onto the field like that way back when I was a student and when the band was an all male band. It was a sight to see.

I'm sorry but FAMU not on my swac tour this season. I was gon try and squeeze yall in but, first requirement is,gotta be able to March 😂🤣😂

Come on DMs...tighten up!

Love the marching Band

The DM can’t even hold his stance somebody needs to do some major stance training I know things happen but it was noticeable

This one dude is struggling with those knee raises.

Nevermind Quibble Legs. The cymbals represented! Great job cymbals!!! 🙌🙌🙌

I almost went to sleep..the drum majors need some work

I like the fact that the Z-28's snare drums actually sound like snare drums.

Strikers, wow, drum majors wow, times have change, will never be the same.

DMs lack discipline.... wiggling...can’t hold a 90....different gloves... sad 😢

Who is the flag man yelling at? Was that the femaie drum major that told them they were going the wrong way? They don't seem to be unified. Do they not like each other?

No excuses. They needed work. But being a Rattler is like the best thing in life. You have ups, downs and ups again. We all should learn from our valley moments and seek to improve . For all of the negative comments we as Rattlers thank you because we are schooled to overcome adversity. Keep watch World and learn.

Lord out of all life you created.... I love this so...

Went to a HBCU in NC back in 1974. Had two drum majors and back then we weren’t taking no prisoners. Practice begins at five o’clock in the morning (pre drill) ends before breakfast then commence again at 3 or four o’clock in the afternoon and ends before the evening dinner line close. Military boots and shorts, men and women, practice drill hot as hell, members passing the hell out, precision drills and marching. Dance routine not sloppy like I witness on television even from the band I admire but will not call any names out of respect for fellow band members, every dance routine I witness out of sync, too much dancing on their dance routine a mess, I remember the marching men of cook and grambling marching no women back in the 70 taking no prisoners man I miss those days, and ladies nothing against you but when men get together on one accord we don’t take no sh&t!!!!

They need more drum majors .

Famu still got it!! Haters will hate

The flags looked better than the DM LMAO

Jesus, the percussion is next level for real on that field entrance.

If you have more than 3 drum majors, u gotta be sharper than ever. They need more practice.

What’s the matter. With the DM he can‘t hold his stance

As a former Langston University drum major in the mid 80's we could not look like baby newborn deer!🎷

Ole Boy need to practice on his balance, I don't see how he made it to Drum major!

Flags threw it off, not ready, dude yelling and what's up the sunglasses. Drum Majors struggling. I will always love FAMU but they are not what they were. There is still something magical about them. FAM keep pressing

I love the uniforms!

The video was dope. Your shots were awesome. Too bad the band is super whack these days. I attended Cookman in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and that 100 was a force to be reckoned with. These kids today should be lucky to refer to themselves by the same name.

FAMU that long suspension killed the 100 and Dr. Foster’s legacy. Dr. White was the last to keep the band 💯 after the passing of Dr. Foster. This band is almost unrecognizable from the high stepping, show stopping, 400 +, 8 “tall” Drum Majors of the 90s - (date of suspension).

That drum major need to go back to his line. I hope he was embarrassed can’t even hold his stance

Wow am enlightened never realised all this existed. And it happens yearly in American high schools colleges / unie, s ,cool events.👍 .

It like damn they get new uniform every year like drum majors never seen tht color well the hat color

They all do a great job but still waiting for the two football team bands that play at the Dallas State Fair

We let people break the ranks now ?

They look like some imposter Drum majors. They look scared to walk. What's going on Fam. Are they all new, like just started yesterday.

lordt just give up on the slow walk cuz uhhhm yea no just stop. geesh this a different 100 here cuz them 10 back in the day my goodness

Wait I thought you had to be 6 foot to be a Dm for famu? Dude is short ...but they did good today!

DM's on stadium entrance was sloppy...not in sync at all ! Nice uniforms though. And that one DM that couldn't hold stance smh. But when they snapped to go on the field...it was ON. The band, the cymbalists, etc. came to life. Even the drum majors was cranking it once they got on the field. The color guard, DM'S need a lotta practice and discipline. And why color guard up in front...DM ' s need some help on counts...need to hear percussion.

WORST SLOW ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN DID THEY EVEN PRATICED THIS

dam is the ground uneven can't stand on one leg

The tubas didn't bow in return to the drum major, that was strange.

Lock step, even thou Janet is grooving , love the HBCU ,,, WE HAVE THE FUN,,, proud to say,,, A story of focusing on the job,,, and having FUN,,,,

These new uniforms dope asf tho!!!

Famu Marching 100 if any bodie wants to now is the 100

Ummmm. The uniforms are nice 👀👀👀. FAMU HAD the most intimidating drum majors EVER, that was lost. Head drum major was tight. Drum majors marching Corp style in the entrance but 2 were off step. Ladies breaking ranks in the beginning, NSU Spartan Legion Alum here. With respect I will say FAMU, get it together. 🤦🏾‍♂️

They look like something out of Monty Python especially the Ministry of Silly Walks!

Very unique

0:40 so y'all let her cut y'all line

Man they use to be tighter than this they almost look high schoolish

Man this dm is struggling so bad. I can't stop laughing.

That,s right Fam.

1:53 says it all

DM #2 was Shammin HARD on Slow One..

The first two mins were so damn chaotic. Too much was going on

Skip to 0:40 Lol she Cut right in front of THEM ????

Dang, I was look at this band and trying to see if I should join but these comments are so ruthless....😬

Glad I'm seeing the negative comments here because I was thinking that I was being too critical. Obviously not. That was just painful to watch. That one drum major looks like he was still wasted from partying the night before. And just when things possibly could start getting better the video ends. This was pretty sad.

Shout out to the camera man for the quality! But WTH is the DM 2nd from the left balance so off? Too damn noticable. You learn this in HS marching band especially if you're going to FAMU.

He not locking his leg mannnnn

When did fam get those new uniforms?

Hope they get this fixed before Southern comes next season!

Sharp t!🧤🎹

how come they cant hear?? the drumline rite behind them...their timing is soo off

Lol I literally have 2nd hand embarrassment 😭😩

Norfolk State University in Virginia is the best Band in America since i just started watching these kinds of videos💯💯✌

The drum majors were too young to be struggling with those angles like that!

Got to give to our Black College marching bands they have style swag and they can put on a show that makes you move. I have not seeN that with the white colleges marching bands.

Mr. Harris, did you watch your Alma Marta?

if it just me or does the audio cut for a long time

OMG DM are messing up bad!

Tey seem like chinesse such organizaded

Did the DMs pray before calling the band to attention? If so I respect and appreciate that.
