Over the weekend, the Texas Southern University band captured public attention when footage emerged that seemed to depict an incident involving one of its members engaging in a confrontation with a spectator.
An individual featured in the video seemed to be associated with Texas Southern's Ocean of Soul marching band, which was present to cheer on the Tigers during their away game against Jackson State.
The footage displayed an individual approaching the tuba player, leading to an exchange of words. Following this, the tuba player struck the heckler four times, causing the individual to stumble and fall back into his seat.
The reason for this altercation remains unknown.
"Texas Southern University is aware of an incident involving a member of the Ocean of Soul marching band during a recent away game," Texas Southern told the Houston Chronicle. "The incident is under investigation. The University is implementing additional measures to ensure the safety of all band members during performances."
