  • FAMU has started an inferno.
  • Mannn, as long as they dont hit clayton county schools, im good

  • things could trickle down if this starts to become a problem...

    the reason they chose Dekalb schools is because of all the issues that happened there were involving Dekalb Co alumni, which is basically the breeding grown for future FAMU bandsmen

  • Out here in Texas, School Band and Orchestra magazine is working on a hazing article. Sad to say this will only give black directors in Texas more negative attention. Its crucial now that we push our musicianship more to the public and stop this hazibg bullshid before all of our bands be forced to go fully corps
  • they are basing this off of POSSIBLE INSTANCES OF HAZING smh.........the "real hazing" in dekalb mostly died down about two years ago. 

  • We have to be proactive and do the training ourselves for our students. Make the changes. Also, it is creeping up again.....those high school wanne be fraternities and sororities are at it again. And, yes they do haze!!

  • actually, they arent "at it again" because nothing has happened, the investigation is based purely off of suspicion because alot of FAMU band students, many of whom are involved in the multiple hazing incidents, graduated from Southwest Dekalb.

  • They haze in corps style schools too...Its just like how you dont hear about a fight at Wheatley, But if they fight at say...Dekaney...it will be on the news for weeks. Meanwhile at Spring, a band student is thrown in a trash can...you wont hear about that...
