13yrs later and I still get goose bumps when watching this, but being there live was like no other. Glad I was apart of MBC "Marching Wolverines" #PurplePassion
BCU and FAMU were both as big or bigger than they are now...back when MBC was around. MBC has one big year 2000 then they became normal size after that
I call Morris Brown the Sound of Atlanta and Pray that they will return in this fashion I live for this former member of a HBCU Marching Band I grew up in Vine City and fell in love with the sound.
Wow, I attended MBC from 01-03 right when the madness started. Im from Detroit and all I can say is there was no love like Morris Brown love. I graduated from Clark but my heart bleeds "DEAR OL MORRIS BROWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNN" Auc ain't what it use to be. Anybody reading this can tell you how live the AUC was in the early 2000s. Oh yea, can't forget getting food from Stiegel's.
Saved and downloaded- haven’t heard a better version of this song with this sound along with the acoustics (even by MBC on the field or stands). Just dumb hard🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏽♂️
This is still the hardest🔊🔊🔊 400 degrees arrangement, still to this day! idc what nobody say! .........along with "💪why you acting like a 🔊🔊🔊BIA- BIAAAA. " 😂😂😂Thay snapped!💯
Just a reminder... Honda told the bands NOT to play in the Tunnels. Who listens to people with authority in Band Life? It started with the smaller groups first. (Morehouse, CAU, and JCSU) were playing at each other. What didn't make it on to this footage was TSU playing R. Kelly's Ignition Remix. THAT is what made u want to play. 400 wasn't counted off... The Tuba Section said, "We're Going to Play" They Counted it Off and this is what was recorded. "Bia Bia" was not counted off either...a lead in works well for bands.
I'm from Kansas City Missouri... Never been to BOTB,,, But these cats from from Morris Brown should all be proud for being a part of something so special and I thank them and the gentleman for sharing.. Just(like someone else said)EPIC!
Morris Brown was a actual band. Yes they were in Drumline but this particular event was not during the shooting of the movie Drumline. This was during the Honda Battle of the Bands in Atlanta.
i remember this...i was at this BOTB and you could hear this in the stands...shit was epic...im from Atlanta and i grew up watching this band...hate they lost their accreditation because i always wanted to go there...probably the main reason i went to SCSU is for the opportunity to march for Mr. Ellis...
TSU played " just getting it on" by Playa Fly. That's an underground classic. People saying that song is not a crunk as Bia Bia and 400 Degreez have to be young. I would have loved to see the brass section not woodwinds, but they were in formation. so that's understanding.
Sorry, no favortism player. I do not represent either school, just posted what I had. TSU just picked the wrong thing to play back at MBC and Morris Brown was just in total crunk mode.
Man, don't pay that comment any mind. Yall were brining it and I was there loving every minute of it. It was the hypest part of Honda. Your right, I had no choice but to be up close like that but it was pure fire.
It's funny I was in the 3rd grade in 03 3RD! Watching drumline and this made me love marching band at my local high school we'd go to the Georgia dome and scream out 400 in the tunnel those days were lit for me!!
I remember this like it was yesterday we were so hyped it was our last band performance everytime I watch this I get goose bumps. "Don't F**K Wit Me" and you couldn't F**K wit us the HBCU band aren't the same without us.
This band was still present… a lot of schools outside of GA wouldn’t have as strong recruiting numbers from the Atlanta area at all. Soon as this school opens back up… days are numbered concerning GA recruitment outside the state
I always thought and hoped Morris Brown would make a true comeback! They are the reason I ever joined the marching band. They lost their accreditation the year I was graduating. My high school stole most of our style from them.
Right especially the black one n especially Morris Brown Machine wolverines I remember going to the BOTB in 2003 n I saw Morris Brown I was like holy shit
Yo, I was there with Grambling that year. Everybody was blowing on everybody in that tunnel....lol. I remember hearing MBC blowin all the way on the other side of the tunnel......RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!
You also need to remember that this clip was from the first Honda. Folks really were not posting stuff out on he net like that until now. I just happen to have an archive and pulled it out to share.
Man I remember them in the late 70s. They didn't play then and was still going in the early 2000s. If they were around today they would be s force forced to be recconed with. Always loved them. They always came with it.
As a former marching wolverine, The tunnel makes our sound jacked up. Haters, go to the search field type in "Morris Brown" and look at some of the other videos posted on this site, like how we arse raped SU in 2000 with Skin. As far as our behavior, i mean its a chant. It was the Honda and we were crunk, I mean how often can you battle another band with them 10 feet in front of you? You mean tell me you wouldnt be crunk too?
Man i would have went to Morris Brown if they had accreditation and I hope they get it back. My high school director Thomas Warner was Trumpet section leader and Drum major there. And the dude in the beginning saying "who ya wit" was my assistant band director Mr. Lattimore.
MBC crunk them boys man. Eddie Ellis came to the front at the end like he didn’t know what was going on. Lol If I were drum major, I would’ve gladly taken that reprimanding. Legendary video.
If Morris Brown band still existed and was this size a lot of bands would be in trouble
Dope hell yea lol
Dope Yes!!
You never lied, a lot of bands would be up shit Creek LoL
No the whole school isn't in existance anymore due to their president being involve in a financial scandal
Hell Yeah
13yrs later and I still get goose bumps when watching this, but being there live was like no other. Glad I was apart of MBC "Marching Wolverines" #PurplePassion
Jennifer R I agree with you 100%. Watching this 13 yrs later still brings back great memories I had on the campus of Morris Brown.
Just so you know they coming back

FACTS
“DONT FUCK WITH ME” that part really put a smile on my face😭😭😭
Song
Each and every time
This video still gives me chills years later.......Morris Brown really was intense!!!! I wish all of these bands had this kind of intensity.
Morris Brown was the powerhouse that everyone loved to hate. I can't think of many other bands with their intensity. You had to love them for it.
Every once in a while I come back to this get straight hyped

I wish Morris Brown could come back, Ain't gonna lie they was the shit couldn't no band touch them
They shut em down cuz other HBCU couldn't handle thier battle... Not even FAMU
Theyyyyyyyy baaaacccckkkkkk now give them a few years to build they programs up so we can get the band culture back to where it belongs
@@smoothliving9632 I hope they plan to bring back Purple Haze.
Their 20 year ban is up.

I call Morris Brown the Sound of Atlanta and Pray that they will return in this fashion I live for this former member of a HBCU Marching Band I grew up in Vine City and fell in love with the sound.
Man I get cold chills watching this! Hats off to all the big bands out there.

Saved and downloaded- haven’t heard a better version of this song with this sound along with the acoustics (even by MBC on the field or stands). Just dumb hard🤦♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏽♂️

This is still the hardest🔊🔊🔊 400 degrees arrangement, still to this day! idc what nobody say! .........along with "💪why you acting like a 🔊🔊🔊BIA- BIAAAA. " 😂😂😂Thay snapped!💯
Snapped af lol. I miss them.
🤣
Was they’re 400 degrees in the key of G minor or F minor ?
Just a reminder...
Honda told the bands NOT to play in the Tunnels.
Who listens to people with authority in Band Life?
It started with the smaller groups first. (Morehouse, CAU, and JCSU) were playing at each other.

THAT is what made u want to play. 400 wasn't counted off... The Tuba Section said, "We're Going to Play" They Counted it Off and this is what was recorded.
"Bia Bia" was not counted off either...a lead in works well for bands.
You right
As a former Tuba player this makes me so proud
Since nobody really fuck em
Did you attend Morris Brown Back in '97/'98??? (late 90s/2000?)
Build Ride Repeat yes 96-00 in the tuba section.
Purple Haze was Nasty as hell back then smh!
Davonte Lee Them boys were cold blooded. Real drum majors. My band director is Purple Haze, he definitely cold blooded.
That shit was SO Atlanta!!!
Swea foe Lawd!
I'm from Kansas City Missouri... Never been to BOTB,,, But these cats from from Morris Brown should all be proud for being a part of something so special and I thank them and the gentleman for sharing.. Just(like someone else said)EPIC!
Im a fan of S.u and swac bands but I love watching this video and can't wait to see this band rise to glory again.
Morris Brown was a actual band. Yes they were in Drumline but this particular event was not during the shooting of the movie Drumline. This was during the Honda Battle of the Bands in Atlanta.
the bad boys of HBCU Bands... If They Never Closed I Was Definitely going here, they was just DIFFERENT!!
i remember this...i was at this BOTB and you could hear this in the stands...shit was epic...im from Atlanta and i grew up watching this band...hate they lost their accreditation because i always wanted to go there...probably the main reason i went to SCSU is for the opportunity to march for Mr. Ellis...
I was there too and hell I think every other band in the stands had chills lol...it was crazy!!
They just got it back 👀

Man, don't pay that comment any mind. Yall were brining it and I was there loving every minute of it. It was the hypest part of Honda. Your right, I had no choice but to be up close like that but it was pure fire.
"Best band in the land "Mr. Smith voice
It's funny I was in the 3rd grade in 03 3RD! Watching drumline and this made me love marching band at my local high school we'd go to the Georgia dome and scream out 400 in the tunnel those days were lit for me!!
Right I was 8 years old n my dad Was like wat y’all know about that he said Morris brown was a beast
Man I was so mad when they lost their accreditation. I wanted to go there so bad. Their band would've been aps band all over again #Astros
Mo-b was the pride of "The A" back in the day..definitly reflected the spirit of ATLANTA @3:18
I remember this like it was yesterday we were so hyped it was our last band performance everytime I watch this I get goose bumps. "Don't F**K Wit Me" and you couldn't F**K wit us the HBCU band aren't the same without us.
Jucj82 damn right
You really had to be there!! We was so hype in the tunnel!!!!
Here we have one of the most disrespectful and dominant moments in band history 😂with HBCUS
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 We didn't mean to...
This band was still present… a lot of schools outside of GA wouldn’t have as strong recruiting numbers from the Atlanta area at all. Soon as this school opens back up… days are numbered concerning GA recruitment outside the state
You telling the truth 💯
We’re back and things are in the works 💜🖤💜🖤
Mo B made them look crazy as hell...oh my god. My alma mater!! Miss it!!!
I wish this band was still around in the 2016 days
MBC will be missed, the only band that gave SU a challenge
Trey 33 true
Trey 33 idk about that lmao but they will be missed
Gave SU a challenge? Bruh Morris Brown isn’t THAT bad. Give them more credit than that please.
tre trill you’re stuck on stupid. JSU eat su for brunch
Where is Morris Brown? That’s right, closed!
I always thought and hoped Morris Brown would make a true comeback! They are the reason I ever joined the marching band. They lost their accreditation the year I was graduating. My high school stole most of our style from them.
I can only imagine the feeling the TSU band had standing right in front of THAT, knowing damn well MB was the better band that day without question.
I remember this like yesterday...I was on bass drum.... the energy was off the charts
Did they really say "Don't Fuck With Me"?
Dr.Mafia( Gt: Don Aces Volino) yes
Dr.Mafia( Gt: Don Aces Volino) yess with passion
Taylen Martin I'm feeling this ❤️

You also need to remember that this clip was from the first Honda. Folks really were not posting stuff out on he net like that until now. I just happen to have an archive and pulled it out to share.
"Why you acting like a...(Tubas crank)..... Bia Bia,.... Bia Bia
Man I remember them in the late 70s. They didn't play then and was still going in the early 2000s. If they were around today they would be s force forced to be recconed with. Always loved them. They always came with it.
It's 2017 and I still watch this
Stephen Foster frrrrrr
Hell I’m still watching in 2018! 😆😆😆
man I missed them days! my bro went to Mo B around that time before they shut it down or whatever happened. its was live down there!
Others bands didn't measure up, in a league of their own
Best college band in Atlanta. Past or present. If it wasn't Mo Brown or FAMU back then you was irrelevant
2019 anyone?

Brutal just plain BRUTAL! !!!!!!
