Florida A&M Marching 100 is preparing for virtual performances this month.
Though their virtual experiences will be different from past performances, Roberts says he’s excited about the upcoming experience, even without the thousands of fans awaiting their choreography and music.
“I am very excited about the upcoming virtual experience. This is a great opportunity to expand our social media outreach. It will also show our supporters that even in the midst of a pandemic, the Marching 100 is still working hard to bring them high-quality performances and entertainment,” Roberts said.
The first virtual performance will be Oct. 21 and will be called “The Farewell Tour.” The tour was originally supposed to be a farewell to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference schools because FAMU is leaving the conference after this season to join the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
Although there was no football this fall, the band decided to stick with the concept. “The Farewell Tour” will be followed with another virtual performance on Nov. 13. They will be held in Bragg Memorial Stadium.
