Episode 66 | "FAMU vs JSU Was CRAZY! + FVSU vs Savannah State Battle"

Marching season is in full swing, and Episode 66 of The Drum Lounge Podcast is packed with HBCU band and drumline talk! 🥁 Jeremie and Bryon break down Savannah State vs. Fort Valley State, giving their thoughts on both lines, what worked, what needs improvement, and who took the battle. Then we head to Jackson State’s Homecoming, where FAMU and Jackson State went back and forth with some serious power, musicianship, and song selection. We also tap into Norfolk State’s legendary MD Thursday, and talk about DC Young Fly jumping on the drums at Mississippi Valley State. 💬 Who had the best drumline performance this week?
