This is a mature sound that you can listen too all day long and not be annoyed by the overblowing, out of tune, linear playing bands that have no musicality at all.
Those FAMU tribute songs and two Patriotic songs at the end are part of the "100" brand and it's what makes them stand head and shoulders above all other bands. Please do not ever lose that and start to sound like a juke box party band like other bands. The "100" stands for something more. Doc understood that. Balance is key.
Famu’s Warmup should be Grammy nominated.
Yes,, It’s a shame that HBCU institutions that set Standards are over looked main stream,, but those that know,,
@@rodtrues1 I promise you that if it became a category, the game of arranging would change drastically. Sarge would have countless Grammy Awards
This warm up brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. True music lovers understand! #SoundUnmatched

Correct! Band is balanced from Woodwinds Brass & Percussion!
76 years of perfection.
Dr. Foster did write the Bible for Marching Bands, all the other programs are just commentaries...
There is no other sound like the 100 sound. If you hear 10,000 bands you can always pick them out. Class of “65”
@Elizabeth Jackson. I absolutely agree with you. The sound of The Marching 100 is RECOGNIZABLE!!
The warm-up moves you.
Love this band and the amazing sound they put out regardless of what anybody says 🧡🐍💚🔥💯 I love this band for what they mean to me
That Bb warm up and it's chord progression build up starting at 1:00 is a work of a genius...Thanks Sarge!!!! IYKYK!!! #M100alumni
I am not saying this because my son is on Bass, but FAMU is and will always be the Originators. I support all HBCU Bands but it is true.

Awesomeness!
