This post is presented in tribute to Robert Champion (1985-2011). Robert Champion was a Drum Major for the FAMU Marching 100 Band. He lost his life as a result of hazing, allegedly by four other members of that band.

This post is also published as a means of reinforcing the need to stop marching band hazing and to stop all other forms of hazing.

RIP Robert Champion.

Here's a comment from the video uploader:
"Everyone,

Thanks for your encouraging comments and thoughtful attention to our tribute. We know that you have felt the same heartache we felt upon hearing the news of Robert's death. We appreciate each and every viewer.

We want to be clear in saying, no one involved in this tribute is/was a member of the FAMU Marching 100. These musicians are music enthusiasts who were touched by the story of his passing, much like all of you, and were moved to make this tribute for Robert and his family."

For Robert D. Champion (1985-2011)


To our brothers and sisters of Florida A&M University, The Marching 100 and the Champion Family

It's pointless to try to express how we feel for you in words. We dedicate this song from the 1999 FSU Marching Chiefs, originally performed for the loss of one of our own. We turn to it again for the same purposes.

May you always find comfort in music...

-The Florida State University Marching Chiefs
& The Entire Seminole Family
