Great arrangement and good sound, BUT in my opinion, the biggest problem FAMU often has is tempo. Having the tubas on opposite sides gives a "surround" presence, but it can bite you in the butt quickly. Also, the playing style of percussion being felt and not heard (a concept I LOVE) can bite you if the band doesn't keep tempo well. It just has to be practiced more. That said, I'm a big fan of FAMU. Nobody looks, sounds, or plays like them. A distinct signature.
Man 04 really had great concert selections in “Georgia on my mind” and “Charlene”.
My all time favorite concert selection!
Freshman year!
I was out there in that trumpet section holding down the top. Hubba 100!!!
Outstanding performance 👍🏾
Any chance you have 03’ playing the State Farm theme at the Orlando Classic battle of the bands
Yep!
I NEEEEEDS that!
