No FAMU Marching 100 Show in Razorbacks Season Opener


LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas -- There will be no halftime performance from the legendary FAMU Marching 100 band during the season opener for the Arkansas RazorAbacks.

When the Hogs take on the FAMU (Florida A&M) Rattlers at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock on Thursday, Aug. 31, the band known for its impressive halftime show will not be on the field.

A representative of the band confirmed the news in a Friday morning email.

The FAMU Marching 100 has been credited for many innovative techniques which have become standard operating procedures for many high school and collegiate marching band programs throughout the nation, according to its website. Its penchant for precision demonstrated in every aspect of its performance is a key to the success of the "100."

Kickoff is 7 p.m. for the Rattlers vs. Razorbacks game.
