Great show. Id personally keep some of the provocative dance routines out of the high school botbs to not offend the parents.

[@seanlewis1011]

the performance was more or less for the students but i get what you mean

[@charlettarice2645]

You haven’t been to many HBCUs band performances this normal dancing routines!

[@crimepunishmenttv8141]

@@charlettarice2645 I've been to hbcu band performances since I was 4 years old. First time seeing famu, I was 6 in Columbia sc. In fact, I marched in an hbcu band and battled famu for years. I'm a fan of the band. I just didn't think the dances were appropriate for a high school battle of the band. That's all

[@charlettarice2645]

None of dancing was indecent though…so!

[@crimepunishmenttv8141]

@charlettarice2645 you got drum majors humping the ground. It might not seem major to us because we use to it but people who ain't use to it and got small kids out there watching might be shocked. I just don't think some of it was necessary for this performance. Save it for home games. Plus they trying to recruit people to come to their summer band camp. Don't give the parents who will pay a bad perception.
