Omggggg they have a young lady drum major !!! Yessssss love it!!

[@OOTD_]

atldahottestlady1 I think they have a female every year.

[@jillruff1655]

They do. Every year. The best was that Hawaiian mixed girl from like '02-06! She was the head drum major & got buck better than ALLLLLLLL the boys!

[@faith2xxx]

@kimmie6209 She pulled back up from the split the same as the guys. She's more than good enough to have made this squad, and considering JSU's legacy, I'm sure they didn't choose her just because. She had tried out previously and didn't make it. Please don't deminish her accomplishment because she's a female.

[@DaJSUDiva]

why not JSU?? The only Urban University of it's kind!!!

[@mpr92482]

@@DaJSUDiva there are plenty that are just as good, to some may be better, depending on where you are from, you get use to certain ones. I'm from NC, so you already know NC A&T is in my bloodline. That's why I like going to different battle of the bands so you can see the difference and similarities in various bands.

[@phyllislowe3942]

I've seen bands just as good but I haven't seen any Drum Majors this good. Please post if you have footage. I'm from GA and I've been watching HBCU Bands since the 80s. Morris Brown was one of my favorites then and of course our band FVSU. I have 2 cousins that played in FAMU Band. IMO, The best band now is PVA.

[@ariesmade90]

@@phyllislowe3942 There are plenty of clips of here with JSU drummajors from different years with different routine entrances. Scroll through!!

[@seanjames1600]

should drum majors be off limits to females...like majorettes are off limits to males...?

[@OOTD_]

Sean James No it's not specifically a male position. They are really just leaders of the band. At my high school we had 2 female drum majors every year. It was tradition at my school. Also, females are often better dancers so they just looked better during our dance routines.

[@darriuswilliams8320]

- my school has a male dancer 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@WonderfullyMadeLex]

Traditionally, at FLORIDA A & M, Drum Majors must meet a height requirement. I think it's 6 feet. Women are typically just not that tall. I'm LOV'IN the girl power in this vid though!!! Feeling hella proud cause SHE ROCK'IN.

[@jennyoyster5054]

manansis86 I think males are better dances but I def see your point ❤️❤️✨✨.....

[@TiffianyW]

She earned her spot. I doubt it was just handed to her. Plus I don’t think they have a height requirement because I’ve seen short J5 men dm’s also.

[@superGJ24]

boo boo boo jstank

[@Jhoffa22_]

Y'all notice anything in this video, that Aye Bay Bay Slide dance that was and is popping came straight from these dude's, these are the O.G's of that slide, but didn't get the credit for it at the time, but these are the homebase steps from them... 💯
