Two Florida State University Marching Chiefs members are facing "appropriate action" after waving a Black Lives Matter flag during Saturday's FSU vs. Syracuse game.

The Marching Chiefs were performing a "Pirates of the Caribbean" song during halftime when, instead of a skull and bones pirate flag that was waved previously in practice, the two students flew a black flag with white text reading "Black Lives Matter."

Both members were quickly escorted off the field.

FSU's College of Music released the following statement in response to the incident:

"The university is aware that there was an issue with two students on the field during the Marching Chiefs halftime performance on Saturday. The students were escorted off the field and appropriate actions will be taken."

Dean Patricia Flowers didn't confirm the issue or what disciplinary action would be taken but alluded that the 70,000 spectators saw what happened.

"It was just two students and we're going to take appropriate action with them," Flowers said.
