HOW ABOUT THIS. This is my last preformance with FAMU MARCHING 100. January 1964. I am on the botton left of the H formation and I am the Clarinet Player following the Drum Major off the field. Now I can show my grand Kids how the old man high step in my day. They call me Melvin rah/rah Collins of Tampa, Florida. And I am 71 years old young. HUBBA HUBBA DOC (SMILE)
@@EBaker-lk6vg would you by any chance be the E. Baker of Jacksonville, FL who lived in porkinghorne village with your family vivian and sedrick? If so i lived next door with my mom and dad in 607 the E. baker i remember was a Rattler DM AND I WAS SO PROUD to live next door to you and your wonderful family
@Melvin - My father was in the 100 in the early 60's before going to Vietnam and then returning to the 100 in the late 60's. He played Clarinet also. Alonzo Edward "Pookie" King
coming from new york i didnt have the pleasure of seeing the 100 until the late 70s.it only took 1 time and was hooked The best band in the land and the old school 100 is simply THE BEST EVER
As a member of the 100 in 1963-1966 before the internet when the 100 was on television in black and white, I still feel in July 2019 the excitement of planning for pre drill. At the good age of 73 years old my points and drive are certainly not what they were as a freshman in 1963. I thank God for the opportunity and Blessings to march in the 100 and play Bassoon as principal Bassoonist as a freshman. Thanks for the memories(!!!) R. Thompson
That Rattling has become so much slower since those days. It's not even the same pace as it was in my year 1976. Now that we're more focused on quality rather than size we can hopefully bring the basics back. Check the tubas out and the horn swings.The Musical Sound, as well as Marching with SNAP & POP!!!!
Darryl Crowder yes all of the things you mentioned are the things I immediately noticed. They are razor sharp with the precision of everything from marching to playing to dancing.
Someone posted on the first part of this video in a less charitable way about how much of what this band does today in terms of marching style was already being done in this show. I don't say it to mean they need to something else, as much as how surprised I am at just how old this marching band style is.

Their lines and formations are very tight. 😁👏
Now this is the 100!! That's PRIDE and hard work on the field! Those days are gone. ... Hey FAM quality not quantity!!
Simply amazing!
Thank you for sharing this! My uncle Kenneth Tolbert was in the band then!

Percussion perfectly balanced, not over bearing like most bands
Hubba! I saw this on TV live. This is the REAL Marching 100. And these uniforms were the best, in my opinion.
those white spats are so serious.
this is good famu 64. go dr foster R.I.P.
Are they seriously playing Austin powers? I like these guys...
+Ryan Armitage The song is actually 'Soul Bossa Nova' by Quincy Jones and his Orchestra.
Hubba Ole School!!!
That old school Bring Off was kind of of live
