My cousin attended the FAMU band camp last this past week. My cousin had me rolling. He was part of the drummajor camp. I encouraged him to go. He said there were 47 drummajors at camp and 650 high school students in the band camp. I appreciate FAMU band members and the camp they have. It is a very excellent camp that FAMU has and an excellent recruitment tool. He had me rolling about getting up at 4 a.m. and not going to sleep until 12 a.m. This was good for him. He said really positive things about the camp. He did have me rolling about how FAMU dislike Jackson State and especially the drummajors. He said that is all the drummajors talked about, "this is not Jackson State." My cousin told me about one of the high school drummajors who started marching like JSU drummajors doing the parade. My cousin told me he would never forget the look on the FAMU drummajors at the boy coming down the street like that. My cousin said when they got back to the band room FAMU drummajors told them"marching like JSU drummajors was a slap in their face to them. They had spent all week teaching them and then somebody just going to start marching like JSU drummajors." The guy that did it said, "I paid $400 for this camp I will march like I want too." My cousin had me rolling. He said that is all FAMU drummajors talked about, "we are not Jackson State." My cousin told me that he did not know that Jackson State was that popular across the country. He said that all 47 drummajors wanted to march like Jackson State. Okay, to get to the point, it just goes to show you what style and the drummajors that people.
