I know that's right. FAMU's band is the sh--! Very disciplined too. It would be cool to have them for his intro.


You're right about that babynoz..they're known for playing a lot of classics too!



Yup, I've heard them play both 1999 and When Doves Cry back in the day. This is not your average marching band. This band has been recognized nationally and won many awards as well as performed all over the US and Europe.

GO RATTLERS!


Btw, thanks to jseven...nice to see you again! biggrin
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Wow, even as a Grambling alum, I find that to be a very positive collaboration. FAMU is a good band. I would have preferred GSU, but I'll take these guys over a lot of others.

Much much respect to the FAMU marching band but I'd rather see only Prince with his band.

Good idea nod

Prince's focus seem to about the up and coming...the next generation of musicians.

I think its about to be a funkified superbowl.

yeah, i was thinking he'd do it up proper with GSU as well. i know that fool watches the bayou classic every year just to see the battle of the bands at halftime and sees how they tear it up. lol

lol I love that caption. I would love to see him play with a band, but it would have to be done right. Don't want him to get lost in the shuffle, so to speak.

Prince playing with my Florida A&M's famous Marching 100? Very interesting...Not to mention it's one the oldest historical Black colleges in the country and the school I attended...Dope...

Tallahassee was my base of operation during most of the 70s.
Lindsey Sarjeant is a good friend of mine and occasionally plays keys in a band i'm associated with...



...Tribal Disorder ( along with drummer LP from Yellowcard )

My best friend (and partner in crime with Tribal Disorder)...



...Longineu Parsons (LP's dad) is currently an Assistant Professor of Trumpet at FAMU.



Really hope FAMU gets the gig.


tA

peace Tribal Disorder

'Marching 100' prepares to step high with Prince at Super Bowl in Miami

The Florida A&M University Marching 100 is preparing to take the field with music superstar Prince during the halftime show at Super Bowl XLI in Miami. Band members said the invitation to perform Feb. 4 with Prince at NFL's biggest event came as a result of the 2005 Grammys, where members of the Marching 100 performed with musicians Kanye West and Jamie Foxx.
