  • THIS IS TAKEN IT TO FAR.. BUT PEOPLE ALSO GOT TO KNOW WHAT THEY GETTING INTO AT THE SAME TIME

  • This is sick it must be stopped

  • You can take a monkey out of the jungle, but you can never take the jungle out of a monkey

  • how you goin cause him pain n then pray that he dont die... smh that defeats the purpose of your pray... smh

  • People are getting weaker and wiser everyday.

  • Honestly, until you cross your section, you wouldn't understand. This video was straight but it covered every absolute aspect of it. I promise you you wont hear a story about this at Texas A&M or UT Austin. Hazing, by definition of the word in your student handbooks (which you'd have if you went to/been to college for at least a semester), goes on in every band HBCU, PWI, or HSI. Get at me. PΦF at TSU, Fall 2K11 #3 Megamind/Alief.

  • and if this is how it is at all HBCU's... smh thats sad cuz i love my fellow african americans but this is crazy. how would you feel if this was your own flesh and blood your children... you wouldnt let it happen right? Thats what i thought.....

  • honestly yall stupid arguing over things like this no matter what it is or how much you love it being abused for the love of something is inexcusable its just like being beaten by your husband or wife it should not happen. I love band with everything in my heart but ill be damned before i let someone put they hands on me becuz they think they are superior it just aint gon happen. i dont put up with it so if i get to JSU n they pull sum shit like that on me..Its on and poppin nigga dnt play...

  • This is so sad :-(...wow

  • When will NSU meet up with JSU or SU or any other power house of the SWAC because I think the battle will be more than just a band thing.

  • how does getting hazed bring together brotherhood? that i never understood.

  • @ClassyMarching14 Going through hardship together, with your pledge brothers, or other hazees creates a sense of brotherhood between you. It unites you. Ever had a brother or sister, and been grounded together, or dealt with something together? Isn't that part of why you're so close, cause you go through things that are hard together?

    That's why it fucking brings together brotherhood. That said, hazing violently isn't okay after a certain point.

  • Honestly, I was in the Sonic Boom from 88-89 in the trombone section and I don't EVER recall any physical hazing incidents. I don't know if this is something that gain speed in the 90's going forward. The upper classmen would get in you face and yell at you or PT (physical therapy) you until were utterly exhausted, but no hitting, kicking, or pushing, nothing physical at all. So, I'm extremely shocked that this has become the recent New's highlight in regards to HBCUs. Sad.....

  • i remember when i was in my marching band......i enjoyed it so much but then they tried to haze me........i quit right afterwards its not that serious i love playing but not if it means to put myself under no control and pain changes you into a nasty person.

  • Yea hazing is needed... but not to the point of actual physical harm. Its allllll mental..

  • on a brighter note i have to laugh that the footage of OSU's band was used when the narrator said how some bands are predictable and boringhahahahahahahahahaahahah­a

  • long long long over due...thx for posting... thx for posting

  • do you have to take the hazing?

    because it not like your join a greek

    plus if you refuse to take hazing will you be put out of the band?

    could someone clear that up for me

  • @mrs6621 no you don't have to, see the band is an secret organization so if you march for the football season will can cross the section offically i mean,the band director they will recongnize you as a oldhead, band term for someone that offically a full member of the band,but to your fellow band members? no it's two diffrent things, you have no say or respect in that section.I don't make the rules it's how it's been since the founding of the bands, for me for than 50 years.

  • hazing will never go away it's been going on for decades i went through it in high school and college, didn't kill me people take it too far. you not suppose to kill them it's a rite of passage.blame section leaders they let the oldheads go crazy.

  • @mdsaxc02 iunderstand where yu comin from, yall bands down south run the black college band world, but a man did get killed becuz of this,thats all im sayin

  • @showtyme213 hey don't excuse thier behavior. every section has a leader and should oversee the new guys in the section. they have control over what happens and they suppose to make sure these things never see the light of day and to keep the oldheads in line. I do know people that didn't cross because the beatings were too great. i seen one my brothers after he cross, we had to carry him home. see you don't cross but you have no respect, and have no say in that section.

  • @mdsaxc02 so becuz sumone refuse to let sumbody beat the shit out of them they dont get no respect,but if yu do yall like them. where im from (the North) if yu let sumone beat yu,yu a bitch and get no respect,or yu get respect if after they beat yu,yu fuck em up nd dey beat nobody else again., hell even to be in the biggest gangs yu get jumped in and yu can fight back,these band ppl jus takin a serious beatin nd cant do nuthin bout it,but yall love them tho

  • @showtyme213 i was hazed but i had a good section leader who didn't let it go too far.He looked out for us compared to other sections, we our hazing was light so like i said it depends on each section in each band, no one band is the same.I know for somebody that not a bandsman it sounds stupid but i had the most fun in the band that ever had in my life. the happiest part of my life was when i was in the band, so for me it was worth it. I knew what i was getting into.

  • this whole documentary was the first sign that hbcu bands were currupt.still dont understand the point of brutality to play a fuckin note, if yu nice yu nice,if not get the fuck out.

  • Comment removed

  • @Multi20ten are you in any organization?

  • The person hazing is wrong but the person being hazed is just as wrong for going along with it.

  • @Multi20ten.... I have never knew of any person in a organization that did know or at least heard of a process.

  • @brohamlollol i lived it i depends on the section and the tradition in it I'm a soldier it was tough but i got through okay but the pride of putting that uniform marching on that you feel it it's worth it to an outsider you would never understand.

  • So listen if my child died I would be sad, however I know that everyone involved knew what was going on.

  • is it me or is there a mere vicious cycle that us black folk cant seem to get away from? SLAVERY IS OVER MY FELLOW BLACKS! We no longer have to accept beatings!!!!!! away with the corporal punishment type hazing! It's inhumane....the sad part is that people fail to realize that. We aren't beasts we're humans! It's about time we started acting like it.

  • This is horrible. The people who murdered Robert should be charged for murder. This is horrible you send your kids off to learn to organize with youth who want to make it in life earn a degree and what happens his life is taken away from hazing. Horrible

  • THIS IS NONSENSE, I AGREE, YOU SHOULD MAKE THEM SIGN A CONTRACT, HAZE AND YOU GO TO JAIL. THIS IS GETTING SILLY, BUT WHITE COLLEGES DO IT TOO!

  • those dudes dont even know how to properly haze... you dont have to beat any1.....

  • I am noticing alot of people DON'T know whats goes on inside a HBCU marching band. If you don't know anything, please keep your mouth quiet...

  • @JSUTrumpet We all know what goes down in the HBCU band...

  • @Domini478 Doubt it...

  • @JSUTrumpet Well...you get haze a lot like getting beat with a board or something...Nearly every College does some type of hazing and it is ridiculous!

  • @Domini478 reading this... you know nothing!

  • @JSUTrumpet You are dumb because FAMU had killed someone because of hazing on the bus. They are even charged with beating a girl in her thigh and her thigh is broken. Look at the damn video...ole dumbass and you will see what goes on in the band. Hazing goes on in every college.

  • @Domini478 just because it goes on at FAMU doesnt mean it goes on in EVERY college.. are you that retarded... you dont know shit beside whats on youtube... you never put on a UNIFORM!!! you never was in a band... so you dont know SHIT!!! moron!

  • @JSUTrumpet Why did JSU suspend a couple of band members for hazing on the video?? Ole Dumb bitch! Nearly every College haze and your ass is in denial. Watch the video...ole dumb bitch!

  • @Domini478 the fact that you speak how you do... further lets me know you dont know a DAMN THING.... keep talking out your ass.... i know the TRUTH

  • @JSUTrumpet Fuck you! All bands haze and this video shows you that. Ole bitch nigga!

  • @Domini478 you really sound educated!!! lol.. why so angry??? you didnt get accepted into any bands?

  • @JSUTrumpet Angry??? How do you know my facial expression through a computer screen?? Ole dumbass! I don't want to be in a lame ass band esp you have to get hazed to stayed in the band.

  • @Domini478 dont need to see facial expressions.. the words coming from your keyboard shows your emotions... you are so angry... you need a hug.. or a parent... your life must suck

  • @JSUTrumpet Get a life...ole band geek! Btw, your life sucks like your momma!

  • @Domini478 wow... you tell me to get a life but you are on youtube daily just like me... wonder how great your life is.... BTW if you dont like bands, why are you on a video about bands?

  • @JSUTrumpet This is a band hazing video about HBCU's...ole dumbass!

  • @Domini478 you still replying mr grumpy? lol... this guy is hilarious...

  • @JSUTrumpet This is my last comment to you...ole dumbass nigga...suck a dick and run through traffic...your stupid ass think you can tell someone mad from the damn computer...get a life and leave me alone...

  • @Domini478 you still commenting and telling ME to get a life?? lol... sounds like your life is pretty pathetic... and your vocabulary is pretty basic. you are a MORON!

  • @JSUTrumpet get a life and get off my dick!

  • @Domini478 your life is on youtube... you in fact need one more than I

  • @JSUTrumpet why does your ass keep responding to me?? Get a life and leave me alone.

  • @Domini478 the same reason you keep responding... if your life was great... you'd stop...

  • @JSUTrumpet Why don't you stop?

  • @Domini478 you are making this too easy to piss you off... its just youtube dude

  • HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HIT SOMEONE 30 TIMES THEN THEY URINATE BLODD...WTF THIS HAZING SHIT IS STUPID AND NOT RELEVANT. IF PEOPLE HAVE GLORY IN HAZING I HOPE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU! :)

  • damn right we come for the bands, but this ish go's way too far all the times

  • black bands do it i love black band su!what u ment when u said these bands?Do i have a point this white boys!!

  • Okay the first young brother coudn't even express himself effectively initially.

  • I got my azz beat back in 1995 at Alabama A&M but I made it and glad I did I know I will always be a part of the band but that kept me from going back the next year because I could not see myself doing that type of stuff to someone else I didn't know anything about crabbing when I went to A&M so when they beat my azz for the first time I can say this it really took something out of me and Im so glad I didn't do it to nobody like it was done to me R.I.P Robert Champion.

  • "The Color Purple" moment: "I loves band, God knows I do. But I will kill them dead before I let them beat me!"

  • Dang, I see this is a new light after the whole Penn State thing. :(

  • As a AA male, I do my best never to take a racial stance at ANYTHING. This is no exception. Hazing is wrong, absolutely wrong no matter what race. If it's done anywhere, it needs to be addressed and it needs to be dealt with. There's no feasible way you can defend hazing, and for anyone who tries you really need to assess yourself as a person. These are people's health and lives on the line. Final thought, traditions such as these are things that are made to be broken. Got to do better.

  • Just think about up coming Musicians an how 9:00-9:26, saddness,depression, will effect them, hazing is the reason why most bands aren't the size they use to be an now this generation of young adults are snitches or what ever you want too call them but now days their is always a student that will take this as they are being harm just for fun or too cross but everyone thinks different an now you have a Virginia Tech Case on your hand all because this hazing is now overrated.....

  • @DatBoiLow4 ! was haze my 8th grade year after i done a year on my future high school band meaning i became a part of a high school band my 7th grade year, i was beat with old instruments, combat boots, etc......., i had 3 heart failures but not one time did i open my mouth an i've done it my self but after that year i left it alone i gained my respect an that was the end of me, 3 of those 12 people were my own family members an seeing blood while yu go too the bathroom isnt goodddd

  • They knew what could happen its not all rainbows and fucking candy canes. They had a choice to go through the process just like others before. Man up and stop snitching.

  • @brohamlollol I wonder how you would feel if it was your child that got killed because of this foolishness...................­......

  • Smh snitch....

  • @brohamlollol lol wats snitching if someone dies????

  • I suppose u can blame this on the white man too right? Fuck all y'all hazing sympathizers...

  • All u guys sound like assholes... what if before u got in your precious band, u had to take a broomstick up our butt, would u still do it?! God u guys fuckin suck defending this...

  • I don't understand. Why the fuck u gotta go thru a beating or other bullshit to get into a BAND!! While u at it, all females who wanna be in the band should hve a train run on em by the males! That'll build camraderie lmfao...

  • Comment removed

  • This is why I didnt get into a college band becaus I know these things happen.

  • LOL THEEEESE MARCHING BANDS!!!! WITH THOSE PEOPLE =/

    what a wack statement

  • Comment removed

  • Blk ppl are so ignorant ...

  • Ppl wake up!!!! No band experience is that fulfilling for you to endure and support this foolishness

  • If you have never been a part of a Show Band, I expect you to not understand! One thing is true, too much of something is never good! With that being said one can speak up(within) ur section! now the two by four was a little much! I can only imagine the pain because taking would is a beast! Nonetheless, once it's over you'll have so much Pride for the organization and your section as a whole! Hazing is more so bonding! It brings u together creates memories makes you think and put u back in the

  • @MsOnly1DimpleWms HOW DOES HAZING CREATE GREAT MEMORIES???

  • @MsOnly1DimpleWms I was in a show band..one of the best bands in the state of Arkansas. I nor any of the freshman class was hazed. My band director did not allow that shit to go on.

  • but then again if you allow it to happen to you then you are a DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!

  • there's no need to beat the shit out of someone to join an organization GROW THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That piccolo woman had a fatty

  • @venomous513 HAZING IS STUPID...YOU SOUND STUPID FOR SAYING HAZING IS COOL....DUMBASS!

  • Comment removed

  • @venomous513 I ACTUALLY KNOW ALOT THANKS. I AM CURRENTLY A SENIOR AT MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY MAJORING IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS WITH A MINOR IN VOCAL PERFORMACE. I HAVE EXPERINCED HAZING AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAZED ME....I FOUGHT THEM AND CUT THEM WITH 2 KNIVES I HAD ON ME BECAUSE IT WAS BRUTAL AND STUPID...TO THIS DAY THEY DONT TALK TO ME BECAUSE THEM KNOW I WILL BEAT THEIR ASS.

  • Comment removed

  • @venomous513 The problem is . . you're letting 19 - 24 year old kids ( and that's what they are at that age, kids ) determine what is acceptable hazing or not. Give us an example of the type of hazing that you're talking about, that will make a "member's mind to fit the values of the program". What type of hazing achieves that?

    Give us an example please, without giving the name of the program you went to.

  • Comment removed

  • snitch haha

  • Snitch

  • i still think it's pure bullshit, you don't need to kill someone to be in your band. I wish this guy would get life in jail

  • watch this with Transcribe Audio turned on.

  • "Pain is for a little while,Glory is forever!"I understand hazing.I was started getting hazing in my high school band.

  • @mutumbu1985 so did i

  • Oh..and someone ask about hazing in white bands!!!!!!! Have you heard about TEXAS A&M's band And what they do to get their "senior boots"??

  • @ dr mustang04. You marched with the juke box?

  • Thats the price you pay to wear the "S" on your chest!

  • Comment removed

  • its all about respect. band members feel like they wont b accepted n2 da section unless they cross it. iDo understand hazing is a part of da band cuz ive done it myself but wut they dont realize is dat if u a true beast on ur horn or ur drum, ull b respected regardless becuz of da degree of musician u r.

  • @muzickman4lyfe... Well put!!!....I'm a Marching 100 Alumni (Snare drum/ former freashman sec. leader)...I strongly agree with your statement! Some people have went over in their individual sections & some have not but if u are a beast on whatever u play that's a person I respect before I respect someone who can't play whether they went over or not & amazingly some of the worse hazers in the band are the ones who can't play!!!

  • @snell305 thanx man!!

  • Lol Them Boys scared of HBCU's especially the jukebox lol

  • well jsu, here i come..... :)

  • bitchassness..........all i gotta say AND DOWN

  • @paulrd95 yu have to be an idiot.this man was about to die.

  • @nuphiomega1apollo im talkin bout the guy sayin "and this is how you do it" ............

  • i'm glad i got to meet the line at DOP but i didn't ask them about hazing. They all looked ok to me

  • Look this is true but I feel like in order o be better you gotta go thru something. Hazing does build character you just have to know when to draw the line. But what ppl outside the band dont understand is that everyday at practice could be seen as a haze. You wanted to be apart of the band so get with it or get lost!

  • @kperkins0413 STUPID

  • i seriously doubt if norfolk is hazing free

  • that white man needa stop! just because some of the hbcu got called out doesnt mean that hazing aint as bad at a pwi

  • thats sick! and im black! 100 hits with a 2 by 4?? wth thats a damn shame!! That Boy Almost Lost His Life! Over A Tradition?? smdh

  • if this was a black host it still would look bad for black bands

  • Comment removed

  • Why did he say "THESE BANDS"???

  • why is a white man explainin things about hbcu...and who the hell told him jsu and su are the best black marching band..somebody need to put his ass in the cut...WOOT..

  • GET IN THE CUT BOI!

  • AND THE WHITE MAN SITTIN HERE TELLIN AND EXPLAINING HOW BLACK PEOPLE ACT,,OH GREATT

  • AND THIS AINT THE SO CALLED "PADDLEING" YU HITTIN PEOPLE WITH PIPES AND SHIT,LOL WTF. IF THE RITE PEOPLE SEE THIS THEY WONT WANNA PLAY AFTER HIGH SCHOOL,UNLESS ITS NSU. SO SAD.

  • BUILDING CHARACTER IS ONE THING,BEATING SUMONE TO DEATH IS FUCKED UP AND TOTALLY DIFF AND YOU ALL KNOW IT.

  • Southern University Fall 87 Primate checkin in. . Builds brotherhood, camaraderie & pride. Old school rule: First rule of Crabbing is DON'T TALK ABOUT CRABBING. This is ours. We should have never allowed "Drumline" to be made. Outted the whole HBCU Marching band culture.

  • Comment removed

  • A man fuck dez white people dey tryna call da band a calt like bitch dis aint da kkk...o and fuck jsu and su I'm goin ta bama state.......

  • Hazing builds character

  • this is some bullshit.....

  • We gotta stop allowing these crooked reporters and their tactics of getting information from our people to persist. This guy acts and sounds like he really cares about the guy who did the hazing, but I'm so certain that he's just about the agenda of crushing our beloved tradition of HBCU bands no matter what extent . I'm a believer in the fact that sometimes hazing goes too far in the band, but to the point that reporters catch wind of it, their job is to go for ratings and awards. I hate it.

  • ASIDE FROM THAT......if u wanna go to an HBCU and be in the Band, GO FOR IT....but DON'T BE CLOSED MINDED...."ONLY WHAT YOU ALLOW IS WHAT HAPPENS".....but prove to me that these PWC bands don't beat each other.....again...I got associates on both ends, and Imma tell u.....they make what happened in this documentary seem like nothin.

  • As a blessed member of the World Famed Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band, I can tell you that this documentary was terribly researched, and mostly lies. WE SIGN THE CONTRACT....WE UPHOLD THE CONTRACT! NORFOLK LIED BIG....got buddies in they band that have been a victim, so they can keep that. As far as JSU and SU sucking, pardon....but NORFOLK (the "great") gets most of their swag from JSU, SU, us, etc......THE SWAC is where the HBCU bands gain influence...real talk

  • @GSU1 i dnt think so meac influence their self

  • @GSU1 Don't front, fam. I'm also an alum and I know what happens the weekend of the Classic.

  • I hope that by the time I get to southern that this will be over.

  • wow im glad i seen this befor i went to southern im definatley going to a lame white school now

  • some skools do take it out ofbounds....my skool dont do face, leg or stomach shshots, and mostly petty stuff lke doin somethin emarassin or humiliatin(to fellow crabs). bsides i think norfolk does do hazing just not as intense so it can be found out. bsides in ur marching band u gotta earn ur spot on the field and prove u can take it both mental and physical pain

  • @MrXmankilla oh yea and uh JSu and SU suck!!!! SC State marchin 101, Spartan legion and BCU all day!!!!

  • im a senior n high sko, on mi drumline and i went thru haZing n crossing ova.... had to take da wood, bt shit when i was done im glad i did,im part of A brotherhood now

  • I just became a NSU fan recently they have a great sound and some nice arrangements.......BUT the S and the Boom are what other bands strive to be..OH YEAH DREAM CLASSIC NSU v.s. UAPB

  • While I will agree that blacks in general are targeted within the media, when it comes to some of the worst situations, this still does not give the HBCU's the ok to treat their fellow brothers and sisters in this very disrespectful way. Going to an HBCU is supposed to mean something. These hazing issues needs to be addressed.

  • As always the media presents an issue out-of-context (notice the dancing/skit highlights minus any real musical stand performances) , and finds the most ignorant person to explain his point of view on the subject. Hazing is not just an HBCU issue, it's an NCAA issue overall. HBO and Mr. Gumbel could have presented a piece on band history, accomplishments or preparation, but they chose the sensational route, typical trash media.

  • thats some bull shit !!!!!!

  • People need to understand the difference between hazing and pledging.

  • this is real bull... if a 8th grader watches this video before he joins band it'll be one lost talent... DAMN RIGHT!!! sacrifice for what u love, its the same as any other activity u want to be a part of... Then they call out SU, JSU, AAMU, Grambling, and almost every other HBCU band like we're just violent ass black people... u dont see Ohio state, Jacksonville State, Georgia Tech, or Florida State doing what we do on the field... Puttin Norfolk on a higher level than SWAC schoolS fall back...

  • NSU is better than AAMU and SU. And they dont even haze

  • @Hitamaru I truly hope you don't believe this comment

  • @SUFUNKFACTORYZPHIZ you serious? nsu got that powerful balanced sound, they sound like a BAND not trumpets and friends like SU

  • @Hitamaru NSU is really good at what they do, but have you ever witnessed the Jukebox for yourself in person? You sound like a lot of people last year before they witnessed for themselves in person at the 2010 Honda BOTBs.
