The sound like no other. This was the last show that Dr. White Directed. It was great. RIP Robert Champion.We loved you but God loved you best. Angela Bethel 100
The death of Robert Champion was a shame. His legacy of no band is also a shame. Fairness dictates that things must change but we can't throw the baby out with the bath water so goes the saying. We must find a way to restore to Marching 100 to its former glory for traditions sake and to honor Robert Champion.
Im going to miss that sound for a few years. The 100 is in the rebuilding process and has a ways to go to get back to that. Dr. Young is the right man for the job he will have the band back to form in no time.
From reading a few articles on the issue it seems there were people who cared and spoke up about it. There were multiple complaints by parents and it seems they were ignored until it escalated as high as it can go. It's sad that this is what it takes for people to truly get angry over the issue.
Yea, there are spacing issues in the Wisconsin band as well. Additionally, we have a very large brass sound, but an equally large woodwind sound. Btw, I'm a member of the University of Florida "Pride of the Sunshine" and the INCOMPARABLE Marching 100 at Florida A&M.
HAZING has been going on for years and call it what you may. Yes a mistake did happen and lead to a death which in no way is excused. The question is did he know what he was getting in to before he joined the 100? Was he hazed at Southwest Dekalb? Do Drum Majors get it the worst? Do other members in its respected sections participate in hazing voluntarily to gain respect? If it was such a problem how come nobody cared or spoke up or made a scene until somebody dies? HBCU Bands Haze even BCU....
Famu did really great! I personally believe that the band looks better with only about 5-6 drum majors. But regardless The 100 is still one of the most important music programs in the country.
@djunior2011 @ the 8:40 mark look @ the Drum Major in the 4th row one of the band members moves too early causing his rhythm to be thrown off causing him to attempt to pickup his Mace too early. He didn't drop his Mace he laid it down like the other 5 DM's did he just attempted to pick his back up too early. But like I said the other band member moving too early caused that......
now that Dr. White is fired this will probably be the last good show the 100 will ever do. im mad at the ass holes who killed that drum major. i swear there is always somebody that has to ruin a good thing. anyways good show marching 100
they got so crunk at the end!!!!!!!! lool this really was a good show over all... i dig... and i dig the into to that fanfare... comin' in pianissimo. nice. RIP ROBERT CHAMPION... MANE REST!
Yea I know what the crowd was in 2011 I was there Upper Deck 50 Yard Line 1 row thats how I recorded this video. I didnt even want to drive down this year because the band wasnt there is that bad, so it was only 32,000 my bad lol
FAMU all the way!!!! 33 Sad to hear about the drum major. FAMU is f*cking fresh to death!!! Don't get me wrong , bcu does have a pretty good band. And some terrific drum majors. But my heart will always be with FAMU, regardless of what anyone says!!!
@brlion66 thats why i said probably. cause know one knows yet who's gonna be the new head director but i hope it will be one of the assistants to keep it in the family
Well, what do you expect? Half the crowd is there to see one band and and team and the other half is there to see the other. It would be like finding out half of FAMU's starting line up was suspended for the season, but might as well have been the way the team turned out this season.
No actually he went to pick his mace or is it called baton up before the other drum majors picked up theirs. That early mistake by another band member threw his rhythm off. The majors laid them down at the same time the pick up was where the mishap was.
@Ms2011Layde I feel your pain and totally understand your point and death of any man should not have happened and I cant speak too much on anything else.
Its just sad that the actions of some assholes have literally brought down one of the best programs in the country. Dr. White is now officially fired. And this band will probably only be a shell of what is was. This is senseless and needs to stop.
This is an energetic band that has an extreme brass sound, but the drill precision needs serious work. There were gaps so big that I couldn't tell if they just space terribly, or if someone was missing. btw, I'm a member of the Wisconsin Marching Band. On, Wisconsin! Beat Michigan State!
It tells you the impact of a band when the "100" is not at the Florida Classic the crowd was only at 35,000 which is the lowest it has ever been since being in Orlando. Its so sad bring the 100 back please we need them lol
to msstiff 726: FAMU has been named the UNited States Band. that is why the Grammies, superbowls, commercials, Paris, and everyone host them. Ohio's band cannot execute a drill , maintain the sound and don't even thinking about dancing to the music. no rhythm. FAMU cannot be duplicated. Go sit down somewhere...HAter
RIP to the DM that passed. I love both bands equally but FAMU took the halftime again this year. BCU still sounds incredibly good, but their halftimes haven't been the best as I've seen from them the past 2 years. I look at the florida classic from 98 and how BCC (at the time) acted a fool on the field. I think whats missing is the creativeness the kids had in the band back then. Anyway, FAMU put on a good show as well as BCU, but FAMU was entertaining from start to finish. Props to bothbands.
This show goes deep in the history books of FAMU. RIP Robert, your SWD FAMILY will never forget you!🙏🏾
My frat brother Dr. Foster was truly a genius in creating the 100. Big ups to FAMU and RIP and a big 1900000006 to Bro. Dr. Foster!
We'll never see them as big and good as this again. It's a shame..RIP. Sad. just sad.
Size≠quality
It's safe to say that the band world misses the Marching 100, really hope they be back soon, R.I.P. Robert Champion
The sound like no other. This was the last show that Dr. White Directed. It was great. RIP Robert Champion.We loved you but God loved you best.

What a great show!!..... i usually don't watch the full halftime show but i had to this time. Love the ending ....
FAMU is going to love Dr. Young as their new Director of Marching Band. Directed the Marching 110 at Ohio U.
Awesome performance! I'm from TX but I'm definitely a Marching 100 fan!!! Amazing!

I miss the the marching 100 so much! They need to come back soon!!;(
I have been going to Homecomings and Classics since I was 3 years old never missed one of them😩. I really hope they come back
this band never fails to amaze me.. WOW!... that fanfare was on point from them on... they only got better.
i remember this XD this was my first football game i ever went to... best band ever!

the marching 100 made it every child dream to be a drum major at one point in their lives. shame to hear of what happened
I wish I could do a year or two FAMU to see what it's like to be in a MEAC.
Yea, there are spacing issues in the Wisconsin band as well. Additionally, we have a very large brass sound, but an equally large woodwind sound. Btw, I'm a member of the University of Florida "Pride of the Sunshine" and the INCOMPARABLE Marching 100 at Florida A&M.
Magnificent as usual! #OldSchoolFAMU
When did they start using the Blue Devils Warm up???
He was the 4th from the left
@TheDragonmaster18 not really Dr.chipman and Dr.holloway have been by his side for a long time and know how to run the program.
I thove how they are doing space cords as their on field warmup, and they sound great!
What band you,know sounds 100 on a video recording .. Watch live in effect and let the music take you

SOMETHING IN MY HEART
Even though Robert Champion is died tragically (R.I.P) i still wanna be a rattler and part of the marching 100. #hopefully
Famu did really great! I personally believe that the band looks better with only about 5-6 drum majors. But regardless The 100 is still one of the most important music programs in the country.
Them space chords

space chords in the beginning....i love it
they got so crunk at the end!!!!!!!! lool this really was a good show over all... i dig... and i dig the into to that fanfare... comin' in pianissimo. nice. RIP ROBERT CHAMPION... MANE REST!
Yea I know what the crowd was in 2011 I was there Upper Deck 50 Yard Line 1 row thats how I recorded this video. I didnt even want to drive down this year because the band wasnt there is that bad, so it was only 32,000 my bad lol

Amazing show!! Chiefs miss our brothers and sisters in the 100! MCATDT
FAMU all the way!!!! 33 Sad to hear about the drum major. FAMU is f*cking fresh to death!!! Don't get me wrong , bcu does have a pretty good band. And some terrific drum majors. But my heart will always be with FAMU, regardless of what anyone says!!!
@brlion66 thats why i said probably. cause know one knows yet who's gonna be the new head director but i hope it will be one of the assistants to keep it in the family
Correction 32,000 in 2011 it was over 60,000...
I remember when the drum majors actually did the drill on the field within the band...the good ole days like back in 2001....
whats the name of famu's flag team or whats the position on there band there in green band suits in this picture.
Which one is Robert?
Well, what do you expect? Half the crowd is there to see one band and and team and the other half is there to see the other. It would be like finding out half of FAMU's starting line up was suspended for the season, but might as well have been the way the team turned out this season.
FAMU Battles Tennessee State University at the 2003 Honda Battle of the Bands
FAMU vs. Tennessee State University (Marching Bands) - Which is Better?
They are good, and they are big, but not gonna say they are the best!
there coming back next year
@lazypanda19 The Wisconsin band marching style is totally different then what is done on the patch in Tallahassee
what song they playing at 10:02
Where did Robert Champion dropped his mace at??? I cant find it
No actually he went to pick his mace or is it called baton up before the other drum majors picked up theirs. That early mistake by another band member threw his rhythm off. The majors laid them down at the same time the pick up was where the mishap was.
This is nothing short of raw talent!!! Too bad they're suspended though. =( #Marching100 #RattlerPride
Anybody know the song at 2:45 ??
Did The Robert Champion Drop His Mace Or Was That A Rumor
What song is playing at 12:18
@Ms2011Layde I feel your pain and totally understand your point and death of any man should not have happened and I cant speak too much on anything else.
@ThatJuniorHacker Sad to hear that there is no experience like going to FAMU
why were they so small that yr.?
Its just sad that the actions of some assholes have literally brought down one of the best programs in the country. Dr. White is now officially fired. And this band will probably only be a shell of what is was. This is senseless and needs to stop.
What is the song at 10:57?
Wasn't it right after this game when they beat Robert Champion to death?
Whats the song at 2:45?
This is an energetic band that has an extreme brass sound, but the drill precision needs serious work. There were gaps so big that I couldn't tell if they just space terribly, or if someone was missing. btw, I'm a member of the Wisconsin Marching Band. On, Wisconsin! Beat Michigan State!
Someone please tell me the notes to that chord
Does anybody know the song FAMU was playing at 9:20?
The announcer says it..... buss it wide open.... Lil Kee
What was the first song they played?
coolman035 that’s what I’m trying to find out lol
Space Chords. Search it on UA-cam. This DCI band plays it.
It tells you the impact of a band when the "100" is not at the Florida Classic the crowd was only at 35,000 which is the lowest it has ever been since being in Orlando. Its so sad bring the 100 back please we need them lol
yall cnt be serious.a young man died an yall are worried about a band...smh
It's super sick, honestly. This video is so dark and morbid to watch, knowing this was the young man's last moments right before his death.
So nobody saw the guy proposing on the sidelines at 6:34
@stantonband12 its cupid by lloyd
I crowd of all black people looks so different
WERE BACK
Whichh one was Robert champion
but what if i did accepted that band scholarship to FAMU????
Every other section in the band has at least 8 people in it except for the cymbal line
so no one hears that one tuba player by himself at the beginning of the dance routine ?
Buss It Wide Open by Lil Kee & Strizzo
@JavontaeRashawn You may have said too much already
You best believe its going to be packed this year though.....people are waitin....including BCU ;) should be good.
FAMU & BCU Got Good Bands Ion Know Bout Coming Outta Fl Those Bands A Hurt Ya Feelings ijs
The Dirty Dozen
Focus....focus......thumbs up.
Good times
What does the Wisconsin's spacing have to do with "this" clip?...smh
So proud to be a Rattler :)

RIP to the DM that passed. I love both bands equally but FAMU took the halftime again this year.

i think there drum majors
