FAMU Homecoming Recap Sorta...
Famu's Homecoming is winding down so I decided to give you a recap in my own style. First I must say this, if you don't attend Famu make sure you know someone who does. If you don't then you'll be a$$ out on going to any of the events. Every event was basically sold out, except for the Battle of the Bands. Second, be prepared for things not to start on time.
I just left the Homecoming Parade and it did not start on time. Even the President of the University and the Grand Marshals were late. Unprofessional?...hmmm YEAH. I was also disenchanted by the scores of Majorette/Dance Troupes. I'm talking about the ones you send your little girls too. Young girl, elementary age girls were looking like dancers at a strip club. Then the mothers get mad when their daughters wear revealing clothes or become sexually active at a young age. That's not to say that that sets one of for those types of pitfalls. But the way those girls were grinding...GROSS! Then if a band came by and they did a little routine, people would come off the sides of the streets and form a human baricade in front of the band to watch. How rude and how stupid. IGNORANCE at it's best. And speaking of bands...the Marching 100 has influenced many college bands as well as high school bands. I was so sick of these high school bands coming by playing selections from shows that the Marching 100 have done this year. BE ORIGINAL. I understand your whole band staff went to FAMU but is it necessary to play copy cat? There's only one Marching 100. Some might say that imitatation is a form of flattery, but DAMN I was so sick of hearing the same songs that you know are FAMU arrangements. Oh yeah and the dance routines are the same too....:-( And there were like 30 marching bands, so that alone would make the parade long. But let's talk about the in betweens.
Why is it that at some schools (Some but not all HBCU's) they have a whole bunch of Mr. and Miss? I don't care about Miss Psychology or Miss Louisiana Club. Why are they in the parade? Or Miss ROTC. What is that all about?
Well I'm happy to say, no crime this year. That's good. Cause here during Famu's Homecoming, Tallahassee becomes "hang 'em high country". Traffic is still bad though, but that's to be expected.
Well I've went on enough. If any of you have went to an HBCU Homecoming this year or in the years past, can you share your experiences? Good and Bad please. I've had a good time, every year I complain, but I did have a good time.
Peace and much Greek Love!
