TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)-- Just days after the family of a drum major killed during a hazing ritual reaches a settlement with Florida A & M University, the schools holds a film screening documenting the band since the band member's death.
Titled "The Show Will Go On 2," the film started filming in 2013 after the hazing suspension for "The Marching 100" was lifted. The band was suspended following the death of Robert Champion, who was beaten to death on the bus after an away game.
The film aims to shed a positive light on the band's return.
"It's about all the steps from the first day of pre drills all the way throughout the Florida Classic. It actually has all of the home game performances and all of the behind the scene type of interviews with the band director and all the people in the marching 100," said Spencer Henderson, the film's director.
The settlement with FAMU includes money from an insurance company for the hotel where the hazing took place and an anti-hazing program in Robert Champion's name at the school.
