No one in the world of college sports defines leadership and style as effectively as the college band’s Drum Major. Maybe a Quarterback would be the closest thing, but I’ve never seen a Quarterback do a split and get up in less than 3 seconds. Style is an important characteristic of any great Drum Major and in the world of College Bands there are three distinct Drum Major styles that gave birth to what I can only describe as “families”…
You have the OSU Family – Southern University, Grambling State University, Norfolk State University, etc.
The FAMU Family – Bethune Cookman, Alabama State, Prairie View A&M, South Carolina State Univ. etc.
The JSU Family – Alcorn State Univ, Savannah State, NCA&T, etc.
Which “Family” do you prefer? Cast your vote and drop us a comment explaining why!
JSU!!!! Awesome!!! Great showmanship, style and class
I am biased. I am going with JSU. BET gave Jackson state university a national platform when it use to air all of the SWAC games in BET’s earlier years. Many of the HBCU’s drum majors were inspired by a lot of the moves that JSU Drum majors created and displayed on national tv.
Best band i have ever seem, tbey have all the ingredients! They eoll give you chills when they ate entering a stadium
