The Drum Majors
Where leadership meets legacy.
Established in 2012, the Fantastic 4 marked a new era for the Tennessee State University Aristocrat of Bands. Before their founding, TSU had never maintained a specific number of drum majors. But with the introduction of the Fantastic 4, a legacy was set. Led by its original members—Troy Lambert from Detroit, MI; Phillip Brown from Little Rock, AR; Semaj Wansley from Moss Point, MS; and Austin Hylick from Nashville, TN—this elite group of four drum majors became an enduring symbol of precision, power, and leadership.
Today, the Fantastic 4 continues to represent TSU’s commitment to excellence, embodying the spirit and tradition of the Aristocrat of Bands.
