WOW! I remember that. We were call the White Whales back then. It feels great to know I was on the field marching then. What A Great Time!!
Hey. Who was your drum major at that time? My cousin went to Fam U around then...I think. He was the drum major
Oh So Sweet!!!
Thanks for posting! This band is why I set a goal as a child to be a member of "The Hundred." And I reached my goal in the early 80s! Listen to the sound coming from the size of this band. Look at the marching, speed and technique of the quick step moving from one formation to another. It's the mark of excellence!
Such a crisp, fast and clean "rattle"!!
Goals Set!!
🔶Straght Lines❗
🔶90 Degree angle Knees, Showmanship
🔶Hard work
Discipline, Pride
Please, Please find a way To Post this Performance where the Drum Majors, band members and students of 2019 can see.
An do not forget 32 steps a minuite please/
Please let these new schoolers see the post.
Thank Heavens for this Nostalgia! Notice how those Caped Crusaders took the field after Slow One without splitting all over the field.. The Dozen had so much enthusiasm Doc White put them in front of the DM’s the next year in 78!... The Halftime Show footage they performed is somewhere out there... This band was blowing “Natural Born Smoke”....in the Concert Formation they played “Easy” by The Commodores and “Don’t Ask My Neighbor” by The Emotions! This show was definitely “FUNKTASTIC”!! Hubba Doc!
I saw the 100 back in the 70s and thought they would never stop coming into the stadium.
My cousin Baxter Williams from Albermarle,NC was in FAMUs band from 1961-1964. William P. Foster was something else.
Notice how crisp and clean the cymbals sound. Those straight chings are on point!!!!
Those the cymbals up front was Richard Jones aka Crow the short one on the right (me) and David Nuby. Part of the original start of the name for the percussion section Z28.

My uncle was Vernon McWhite (Fall 1972 aka Barney Fife), cymbal player from Fort Lauderdale, if you remember him.
@@errolmcwhite2019 OMG, HE’S the one that trained me,tell him crow says Hi, he was Great your uncle, probably the best cymbal player I saw in my time and after and he could play and stick snare. I had a great appreciation for that guy.
@@richard7930 I will tell him you said hello. I was in the band as well, Fall 1992 Snare drum "Death Row" Lil' Jello. My uncle made sure I was ready when it was my time to hit the "patch". I remember him talking about you when I was younger. If I am not mistaken, you are the same "Crow" that went to South Broward?
Wrong Crow Earl, I didn’t meet your uncle until 74, and because my nick name out of high school (South Plantation) was Batman, your uncle the black Barney fife, (and he looked just like him)gave me the name Crow, being a little darker and because he said he already knew a Batman.😅😊
Flawless
Boy so nice to remember to be apart of the100 .You all ready know there's only one.
Wow the tradition never changed. Go head #Marching100
FAMU, Today, Tomorrow, Forever!!!
It's funny seeing Getaway as a stand tune looking this far back
The original name for the percussion section Z28 came from these guys in “74”.Still smoking fast cadence in this video in “77”. You here those cymbals clanging clean and crisp, did you see that IRON BUTTERFLY out of the slow one,that’s me aka (Crow)Richard Jones the short one, and David Nuby up front. Long live the 100, Hubba Doc.
I'm a Z28 member 1979 and a Somphmore Drum Major 1980...
Wow, this show is as clean as Mr. CLEAN ❤❤❤❤
Great articulation on Getaway!
I think that this is the pregame show. I think I remember famu playing best of my love by the emotions and Tennessee state played boogie nights by heatwave.
I was there at game in Nashville in 1977!!
This looks like a prelude to the famous '77 game vs Tenn St.
WOW!!
one word..... Pride.
wow. that was just the pregame show.
DOC never let us be normal
This is what 💯should like 🎼🎵💯🐍🔥🤗
Traditional favorites 😊 Love it when that M comes marching down!!🧡💚🧡💚
The days of the White Whales and the different colored flags. This is what I wish they would go back to.
Ole School Much Tighter! Love SU JUKEBOX ALUMNI! 🎷
This is way over the jukboxes head
@Good guy here Man on a mission i think frisby was low key trying to throw shade
@@chisbrabley6887 showing your insecurity.
@@hasanx4637 There is nothing to be insecure about in this footage. This is the hundred at its best.
@@chisbrabley6887 i was talking about your comment. no need to put down SU to give FAMU props unless...
Outstanding! Seems this must be that great game where FAMU beat the Big Blue Tigers of TSU in the 4th quarter on that double reverse.
I have a copy of the game program. Too bad the game can't be found or uploaded.
Mannnn...When I tell you I'm so happy to have this bless my timeliness today!
Storm and Sunshine was on fire!!!
The standard of excellence remained at such a high level all through the last century and especially in the 70s. Every decade seems to outdo the one after it. It sounds as if there are 400 musicians on the field and it appears to be less than 180. The balance and intonation is amazing. I am sure the opposing band would not want to take the field after this performance.
Easily over 200
@@dwill305mia On that clip from 77. Maybe 180. Maybe. That sound makes you think its more musicians on the field. You sound like a hater.
I was a member of SCSUs Marching 101 in the 80s and they were better than advertised. Amazing sound. I heard them for the first time in the late 70s. Its kinda was kinda shocking to see them live. Not the same.
Yep, I pity the band that had to come behind them.
"Duck!"
I wonder what song was that @ 3:35?
I believe its call STRIKE STRIKE
That’s Gavorka’s Fanfare also called “Strike, Strike”
Its called neo fight fan fare.
