Alabama A&M University - Marching In @ the 2024 Magic City Classic

[@charolettepatterson2960]

I am an ASU alumnus, and I think they did great. We need to encourage instead of putting your foot on their necks. Mistakes are made every day. I am still proud of these guys and keep pushing forward!

[@adkpowell578]

Thanks for being so positive.

I didn’t attend Alabama but this is bringing back the good ol days of college. It’s making me tear up a lil bit because I had such a good time at Virginia Union University, Richmond, VA. Watching any Black college band perform is a treat!

I was a drum major. On the nutt lean I would take the lean back out and keep the routine as is just stand. The capes over their eyes really look great because they are different heights and make a black wall

[@dto1270]

Great observation of details... My, Theatrical eye, caught that as well...👍

[@TyreeC-q1c]

I just wanna say the band director or people yelling at those drumajors need help.. you never show confusion outside the band room or practice. If the band needed to be all the way in under the stands it should’ve already been discussed or at least whispered in their ears. Looks really bad to do that in public and discredits the head of the band in front of other band members crippling everyone’s confidence… Great job band overall you guys did amazing and looked stunning and sharp, 👌🏾😌🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JasonT1875]

Bruh Yates had yall marching in dented up horns and busted uniforms. Band was small. All yall really had was power. The Drum Major messed up but he recovered. Relax.

[@mikeburton3095]

@@JasonT1875 uniforms have been adjusted since then. Program hasn't taken off under Wright. I was there when the program switched to Wrights undoing. Tradition and culture left out the door when Yates and Wesley was there. This nigga Wright has stripped culture and tradition from the band. Changing the AAMU fanfare. Fight song. Lovely day. Changing from leg to up right tenors. Smh throw the whole tradition away. And as far as the drum majors that's still unexcusable. This white guy been drum Major for 3 years. There's zero excusse. Your first time at classic or first game maybe ,yeah but it's no excuse and it's not the first time. They've fucked the classic entrance up the last 3 years

[@JasonT1875]

@@mikeburton3095Program hasn’t taken off under Wright? but the band is much bigger and we’ve had way more national looks. The only other MMW era coming close to this was Weasley. The only thing the band was under Yates was loud.

[@mikeburton3095]

@JasonT1875 actually they haven't been bigger than 2010-2011 , it's not about being big. I can say they've cleaned up certain songs but this man has stripped tradition and culture all over the place. I marched under Wesley and Yates. Nobody from that Era would agree that this Era of MMW is better. This video is the perfect example. Look at these baby ass drummajors that need assistance in the last few years. Look at videos of past. College students looked like college students and there were nobody coaching kids at the MCC entrance. You sound silly my guy the band been in the national lights. Doing Mardi Gras parade in mobile and NOLA every year. We did BOTBs and the band did the rose bowl back in the 2000's been had national spotlight but just gt the door blew off by JSU and SU in earlier years. Get real my guy
