Yeah, yall are not being serious if you honestly expect that we should have the same kind of band room as Ohio State, considering our overall budget. I’m dead serious. That whole comparing ourselves to just other HBCUs is very limiting. We proved that in football last year. We have to understand the gap. I want to compare our research labs to R1 schools not to HBCUs

I want to compare our research labs to R1 schools not to HBCUs If we can't even match the "little" HBCUs in our neighborhood, why try to compare our band facilities to the Power 5 programs? We have shown that we are not in the race when it comes to band scholarships or facilities... race over, trophies awarded. Let's just try to upgrade the band warehouse some before Roland Martin shows up with a film crew!

From a band Parent on YouTube Thank you for bringing attention to these issue!!! As a band parent (BGMM at NCA&T), this is appalling! Band is like a full-time job, without the pay. The least they can do is make sure they are receiving basic necessities, like food and rest! The BGMM just flew to Houston for the NBOTB. They are flying to Detroit for the Lions/Eagles game on 9/11, and flying to Orlando to perform at Disney in October. They sleep in hotels, and usually eat at a Golden Corral. The fact that these young adults are being treated this way is totally unacceptable. Do better! FAMU has 300 band members and a staff of 20...that is a lot of money to spend. Transporting the band and staff and providing food and lodging is not cheap. One item that you all ignore is that Chancellor Martin stated is that he funds them well for operations... That band parent comment is ridulious. When we marched we never flew. We took busses. Does the band need more schlorship money yes but they aren't being mistreated. I'm like Aggie One. If u want to see better sign up and reach in your pockets and start donating
