Deputies: FAMU student found unresponsive on bus
The 27-year-old man was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Orange County Sheriff's deputies said a Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University student who was found dead aboard a bus outside an Orlando hotel was feeling ill before he went unconscious.

Robert Champion, 26, was on the bus with the FAMU marching band in front of the Rosen Plaza hotel on International Drive Saturday when he started throwing up and complained that he couldn't breathe, according to Orange County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Ginette Rodriguez.

Friends called 911 and performed CPR, she said.

This not how the season should end for HBCU bands. We might be in different conference but the HBCU band world ties us all together and makes us a family. Condolences go out to the family of Mr. Champion, FAMU, and the Marching 100 as well.

The Marching 100 has been suspended indefinitely and will be investigated both by police and an independent task force.

I see my source knew what they were talking about. Sad and FAMU is about to pay dearly, heads will roll and people will go to jail. They don't play in Florida.
 
They need to give all of them the death penalty. Fair is fair. You killed him, now they need to be put in the chair and fried. They really need to end all these organizations. They are nothing but gangs and have gang mentalities now.
 
Not to downplay this all but I am seriously trying to figure out how a 26 year old drum major was STILL getting hazed.

This is absolutely ridiculous. This was not what I was expecting to hear.

Hell yeah, the parents are p-ssed at FAMU, they didn't even go to the vigil. My co worker is friends with the deceased parents, were band parents together at Southwest Dekalb and she already said FAMU has messed up big time with the parents with the lies.

Good for the parents. Hope they win it. :tup:
 
It is fools who condone this mess. The problem is those nerds get into bands and fraternities and ledge, then become something they have never been. It makes most of them feel like men, when they have been getting their punk azzes handed to them all their lives.
