About this listen

In this episode of The Drum Lounge Podcast, hosts Jeremie Foster and Bryon Russell celebrate reaching 10,000 followers on Instagram and dive deep into the ever-evolving world of HBCU band culture. The conversation unpacks the controversy surrounding Alabama State’s Honeybees dance line, the role and etiquette of band announcers, and the power of community engagement within band programs.

The hosts also tackle heavier topics like hazing and culture reform in college bands, along with fresh updates from the ESPN Battle of the Bands. They explore performance rivalries between legendary programs such as Cookman, Alabama A&M, Norfolk State, and Hampton, analyzing how tradition, music arrangement, and institutional identity shape each performance.

Rounding out the discussion, Jeremie and Bryon highlight innovative snare techniques, the influence of homecoming traditions, and the importance of alumni participation in sustaining the art of HBCU drumming.
