I went to the Battle of the Bands and was blown away by it. A drumline battle was about to take place at the end of the event on the field. FAMUs line started to play a cadence then Morris Brown started to also but got cut off by their Drum Majors. Thats probably the last time Morris Brown will make an apperance at the Battle of the Bands, it would of been cool to see them go out with a Drum Battle. Anyway the PA announcer told the Drum Majors to cut their lines off. All in all it was a great event and im goin again next year.

yea i went to, it was awesome, especially when the ying yang twins came out with CAU
