Alabama State University Band & Stingettes Marching in the Rose Parade 🔥

[@crownshay9386]

These girls look like Barbie dolls so beautiful 🥰😍

[@kealwalker5910]

Yas did such a great job leading the girls. You can tell that she loved every bit of it! Great job ladies!

[@latricedavis4311]

Excuse my manners, thank you so much for traveling and walking beside the band to give us footage. God bless you. You are appreciated.

[@realqueenstandupbowbishes9515]

The Stingettes were so beautiful, especially Janae 🖤💛🖤💛

[@jesusislord3321]

These sisters are amazing!! They are in serious shape to be able to march/dance at the pace they did, in a small heel shoe, for five miles......simply amazing and gorgeous!! Way to go Stingettes!!!!

[@aprilmcmeans1329]

Proud of the ASU hornets and the other HBCU bands. A great honor to have this exposure despite the unappreciative haters. Proud of you. Keep representing!!!

[@erricabradford1918]

My sentiments EXACTLY!! I felt proud as an African American to see us represented, especially in the Rose parade! Such an honorable moment to be in the beginning and they can add that to their resume! Idc how they sound, they looked GREAT!!

[@jakk3947]

So true

[@jjd3216]

Very proud. At this level performance/appearance are way more important than the music. They could perform with just drums/beat and still be great to watch. For me, most college/university bands sound so similar--just fair, not what you would want to listen to in a concert hall. Assuming not many members are aiming for professional careers in music. They're still learning. March on!!!

[@orion38s]

Thank you for the coverage. It was a great day for a parade. To the critics, the band sounded way better in person. You could hear the entire band, not just the front rows of brass instruments. And thank you to ASU for marching 5.5 miles non-stop!!!

[@starryisom6542]

Awesome ASU!! Luv me some Stingettes! Hardwork & Disciplined. Representing! Rose Bowl Parade is a very large & very lengthy. 🥇🏆💕

[@jessicad.guilloryrance4713]

I was wondering what city they were in.

These beauties are like poetry in motion! From the beginning you could tell that they were going to demand attention! 🌹🌹🌹😃

[@leroyholmes3037]

I'm new here, texting from another southern state. What I would like to know is whether or not this is the SAME university that's gonna play in the college superbowl....just asking.

[@houseofbuck007]

I would’ve been ok but then same four songs wore me out. I’ve been saying it for years but I’ll say it again the Stingettes makes this band🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@theredlantern5966]

What bout FAM.....They ran A medly then SOS

[@ToriBoo13]

Definitely disagree... it’s a parade.. the band has a parade formation and song list that they follow.. been doing it for decades now and the stingettes are a part of the band.. without the band there would be no stingettes.. we all wear the A

[@MrOu83]

demarco summers - Why would they play 10-15 different songs in a parade of this length? It is a parade, they’re moving past totally different people throughout this grueling 5.5-mile route. Unless you were on the sidewalk following along or not watching this 43-minute video, you would not have known how many different songs they played. This is not a 5th-quarter battle.

[@erricabradford1918]

@@MrOu83 HELLLLLOOOOO SOMEBODY w/ common sense that God gave a puppy!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is not the parades we're accustomed too.... the majority crowd and representation in the parade speaks for itself. But, they cheered them on and even received 10's when they marched past some group. It's always your own that's the most negative. 🤦🏾‍♀️ This is Thee Rose Parade.... ENOUGH SAID! Everybody always want a band to be in battle mode.... obviously somebody sees something in them for them to even open the parade over FAMU and other bands mentioned, which speaks volumes. I'm proud of them, and I'm from Tuskegee and they're our rivalries!!

regardless what the band sounded like (not all awful at all times) i’m just proud they showed up and showed out. don’t be so hard on “us”. give due credit; this was beautiful to see from an hbcu on the west coast. stingettes held it tf dowwnn per usual. love & respect from NSU 🔰 well done MMH band ♥️🔥👏🏾

All you wanna be band directors & To everybody who say ASU sound bad, You all go up there and play their instruments and see how it feels having to remember all these songs and playing the right notes and marching in a parade for this long while playing music and staying on the right feet at that 💯 . I’m a band member myself so I would know how to accept criticism like this.!

[@charlesgoodson5487]

They sound bad

It sounds like some of the band members aren't playing

[@bRoWn3y3dGuRl17]

It does. I can hear what you can hear. Some sound like they don't know the part.

[@MrOu83]

J Mills - Fatigue, heat, jet lag, etc. No one in any band plays every note, especially when marching 5.5 miles. I marched in this parade when I was in high school, and I can assure you that I did not play every note, and I was a beast. During this parade, the adrenaline we were running on began to fade and the fatigue set in, and it was a fight to the end.

[@cachemoneydotexe]

It sounds like the ones who are playing need to stop playing ☕️🐸

[@akapam57]

Wow they sound like a high school band. Not what I'm use to hearing from them

[@jhb61249]

For those inexperienced with bands, esp large ones, acoustics are bad outdoors, alters the sound, and the placement of various instruments, fluts, trombones, sex, bass, drums, can distort the music. Players can be 50 feet apart while playing a passage together so you hear only one part. This is an outdoor event and not a concert.

[@shashamarie4685]

Amber would’ve killed this 😩 I am underwhelmed.

[@latricedavis4311]

Eliza- Marie they did a lot of plain ole walking. I thought it was just me. They came all the way out here for that???? Shiiiid show tf out! I’d have been pissed if I fought the crowd ...for that!!

[@chrisrobinson2015]

This is not the band that took me awe back in 2012...they need to go back and review the band that they had during the 2012 thru 2014 with that earth and teeth shattering percussion and brass section. From what I am hearing here they sound flat and sluggish..come guys get with it and bring that fierceness that have been known for if need be try to find the band members of the time mentioned and get their input drive especially the cymbals during when they had the Caucasian female playing that group of that time those guys were on fire and let us not forget that awesome percussion section i do belive it was the time they were wearing the vandetta masks.....come on guys bring it back....go mighty hornets

Stingettes kept ASU relevant last year, because the band..........

I honestly believe that either some of the instruments were broke, some people didn't bring or lost or misplaced mouth pieces, or for the best one some if them said fuck it I'm in Cali I don't care

[@nedhat]

J Mills and that’s sad when it comes from a recruitment point of view. You literally fly from Alabama to Cali to present this in front of a crowd of potential band members. And if everyone isn’t prepared, everyone doesn’t need to go.

[@lindahobbs6298]

Why don’t every one watching this parade, get “your” walking shoes on, START MARCHING THE FIVE.FIVE MILES...and Remember each step, each note, correct foot, and the band director watching every move. ..... going up to the majorettes, what was his problem? (They are doing just great) These young people are doing their best. They are cold, tired, maybe hungry and very excited to be in California and the Rose Parade!!!! Thank them for performance. P.S. I was also thankful the young ladies and young men, was respectful to the public. Much nicer. Even though they all can really move their bodies, you don’t need to show it to the world.

because the sound gets distorted when you get too close to a band with a microphone. and i film by myself. sorry you’re disappointed but no. if i go up close and they start playing a song, my video will sound like shit. not to mention having to run back to the front while they are constantly moving forward. until you get out there and film for years (ALONE) this isn’t obvious
