The Legendary Florida AandM University Marching Band. The History of The Hundred

Author Curtis Inabinett, Jr., dedicated himself for a seven-year period and delivers the undeniable story of the Legendary Florida A & M University Marching Band. Inabinett's extraordinary biographical display of words, vividly paints an illustrative mind's eye view of the famous band from 1946 to 2015, leaving no stones unturned in his quest to deliver the truth. Released on November 10, 2016, this 296-page 8 by 10 full color book is filled with facts that will instill in readers why 'The Hundred' has survived as one of the top marching bands in America. Inabinett tells the story of Dr. William P. Foster, the band's creator, and how he overcame racism while an undergraduate music major student at the University of Kansas in the early 1940's. This heartfelt message reveals the power of god and perseverance, and is a must read for all lovers of marching bands, but not only that, Inabinett explores the down side of hazing in marching bands, and how 'The Hundred' came back to prominence after a self-imposed suspension in 2012 for a hazing death within its famed band. Inabinett, who has never formally studied journalism, was awarded the first annual '2015 - 2016 Alyce Hunley Whayne Award' for his book manuscript of 'The Hundred,' and spent one week in December of 2015 at the University of Kansas' Kenneth Spencer Research Library completing research for this book.
