[@diva70smusic]

I really wish the HBCUs got more support from the communities that they are in. These stadiums should be filled on game day. Hopefully, the universities provide outreach to the schools and churches in these areas to invite the public to these games. I am sure the pride that I feel in seeing black excellence may be an inspiration to the community.

[@seventhcompactor1505]

Why ? This is nonsense. These are bad students, bad teams, and they add no value to the larger community. Unless you're black and delusional, there's nothing here

@seventhcompactor1505 Ummm. These ladies are no less covered up or making any more suggested moves than NFL or NBA cheerleaders. At least we hope that these women are getting an education. All of the dance moves may not be for me either, but I am not as cute as I used to be. I love the tradition of the black college bands. Its roots go back to military style precision, the entertainment of the black minstrel shows, and the pride of African culture. Even back then, our forefathers took the "sting" out of the minstrel shows to their advantage. The college students who are band members are usually the best of the best. Between band practice and their college studies, they have to be disciplined, smart, and talented. I guess everyone sees things from their perspective. I see talented, hard-working college students and future leaders of America. You see twerking and nakedness. I guess my focus is different. Different stokes for different folks.

"They" can't even touch this. It's clear the music is everything, and the band practices hard. I remember the first time I saw a HBCU band march in the Mardi Gras parade in Biloxi in 1974. It may even have been Alcorn. They played Eddie Kendricks' Keep on Truckin' and the drum major, dressed to the nines, put on the best marching performance I have ever seen. I hope he ended up famous, or is now teaching these same skills.
