I’m an old white woman who just recently stumbled on a few videos of HBCU marching bands and I love them. This is one of my favorites because these dancers are amazing. What an awesome display of female power and beauty. The sexist and racist comments came from white people who spend time watching things they don’t like and writing mean things about them - draw your own conclusions. To me the HBCU style is quintessentially American because it takes elements from Western European military and African musical traditions and combines them to make something that transcends the parts. While mainstream white marching bands have clung to the same old stiff slightly manic British Corp style the people they excluded took the standard marching band format as just a starting point from which they could innovate. I don’t know who lead the way or how it happened but the HBCU marching bands created a new language that was loose enough to allow on-going creativity but structured enough to be understandable. I am a grateful fan.

[@jerrygowen1604]

I'm going to be honest, I'm white and go to a school that used to be a more hbcu style school in the stands but core on the field. Now it's straight core and hate it. I just love the groove and the culture that surrounds the more hbcu style bands. I just hope that one day I can go to an hbcu for to experience it 👍

[@sierramross]

You should definitely go!

[@frankalfar]

Dude if it's in your heart go!!!

[@braxtonramseur2583]

Damn

[@traycee114]

I love their faces and their swag, like "that's right. we bad."

[@ladymakini]

That TAIL DANCER brought it on in like it's s'posed to be Fnished in A-1 style!! GET IT GOLDEN GIRLS !!

[@mokaspyc]

So , basically, the WHOLE band can drop it low ! ....lol They jammed it from the beginning to the end !

[@ROLLIN-DUB]

Sounds damn damn good; everyone that has been to a HBCU has a different look about them and how they look at their blackness and appreciation for our heritage and legacies/ excellent film

[@stephaniehuffman71]

its not all black and white.... its blue and gold and passion

[@veronica35ism]

Rollin Dub drumline was good I liked too see more black drum lines more

[@unapologetictv5513]

MVSU!!!!

[@ceeceetracey9839]

Let me tell u something. I've been on KZbin watching HBCU marching bands consistently for about two months now and I haven't seen anything better than this - P FUNK. I watched every year. This one is probably the oldest. But even 7 years ago they are killing it. The swag is crazy, the girls look and move amazing and the rhythm is the illest. Love this. I'm addicted. Make my funk with P Funk!!!

[@MrsDiva1]

hountoonz40 I watch 4th video at least once a week. my daughter is on the drum line, majorette dancer, flag line and going out for drum major. This video is awesome to both of us.

[@lisaclark8022]

hountoonz40 yesss me too they routines are the Bomb!!!!

[@lisaclark8022]

I could watch this Marching Band and Majorette dance routine Over and Over they are the BOMB!! Wish i was in that Band.( Go Blue and Gold)😄❤🎆I really don't know the name of the College Marching Band.

[@bkrider19]

Those cymbal players just about stole the show.

[@TheHumanGloStic]

+Trek Ryder agreed but you gotta hand it to the quints cause they were grooving

[@Cupcakes014]

My favorite part because if you've never experienced an HBCU band before it gets you so off guard.😂

[@leonburgess9986]

My band plays o funk but and I'm in the cymbals line but we don't do it like this I'm hoping to make it apart of ours tho because honestly it's a grove

[@veronicagraham881]

Trek Ryder they did

[@soulladyresa2050]

Nothing like a HBCU Marching band !! That is one of the real joys of attending an HBCU!!! Wow!! I miss those days!!,

THIS is how to go and sit down in your seats like a boss. damn the shit was tight nice work

[@rwhyte85]

I love HBCU bands!! Just so much heart, soul, and a certain kind of rhythm in what they do. Stuff like this can't be taught or duplicated!! It amazes me how every section in the drumline has their own personality. I played in middle and high school (snare and quints), but it was a traditional band. Would have loved to march like this!

[@danielhawkins4783]

Righto!

[@tuskegeetelevisionnetworki924]

I love to watch HBCU Marching Bands, they are sooooo Smooth

[@charlesdavis5803]

TUSKEGEE TELEVISION NETWORK INC ABSOLUTELY! If there is a time to perform and put on a good show. HBC and black HS's give you what you came to see. Talent!!!

[@glennbarnes5667]

TUSKEGEE TELEVISION NETWORK INC Awesome 😆

[@kanuri]

Reading the comments I noticed, White people are offended or called the dancers "dirty". While Black people automatically are proud and recognize the connection to our common ancestry through Africa, displayed in rhythm and dance. To all the ill informed folks who find this offensive, sorry but river dancing and clogging doesn't move us like this does.

[@judsonbonneville6685]

preac it, brother.

[@Bassmanwcm]

***** Your people? Mr. Gam, I thought "you people" were against slavery.

[@flights360]

+DarthYutsi yes we did!!! Jazz, Hip-Hop, Country, R&B & Classical were invented by backs!!! White people just took them and ran with them, go do your research. America was literally built by blacks.

[@edgarespino3005]

+flights360 and immigrants from many other countries

[@davidbrower6352]

not sure how one can figure that cause I would think a lot of white people could appreciate this, but admit I have not looked over all the comments, anyway Im white and think its awesome! lol @ clogging, i dont even know what that is but doesnt sound that good

[@Hammermill619]

Cant nobody mess with A&T's tunnel.

I hear the rumble in my head a few times a day (lol) and have to come get my fix.

I Love watching that Awesome Dance Entrance routine! Go A&T!!!😀

[@charleswilliams8248]

Those African roots running strong and deep! Awesome 👏🏿

[@jmw102693]

Somebody should fund a trip and bring a marching band from an HBCU to Africa, let their native Brothers and sisters share in the culture they've helped create and teach us more about OUR history with the drum and why we are the masters of frequency and vibrations ❤🖤💚

[@mcarthurtolbertjr1904]

I can't get enough of this band. WOW

[@HisDivineShadow007]

I love marching band because I love watching people who know what they're doing. Like these guys do.

this video is one of many reasons why I love being black. It also makes me regret I didn't go to a black college 😔

[@roncopeland228]

big J78 And you surely missed out on a great thing. The good people, the love, at all the HBCU'S. YOU truly missed out on a great time, a great EDUCATION, and friends for LIFE. IT WAS TRULY A FAMILY AFFAIR. Since you missed out, don't allow your kids to miss out on it

[@fullsailfop1915]

Hey. Take one elective at any black college of your choice and show up at homecoming, and you are one of us big J78! frfr #100 You ain't even gotta graduate.... Haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

[@iriseverett2806]

big J78 best experience ever! #aggiepride

[@josiewarren1751]

big J78, in about 1995 I worked with a black woman and realized she was my neighbor. We became good friends and still talk to this day. I told her at one point that I wanted to be black. :D I loved the culture I was exposed to while spending time with her. So she put me on the "10 step program to becoming black." lol Oh my gosh! She took me to a step show at the college, tried to feed me collard greens which I just couldn't accept. ;D She is one of the greatest women I ever met. But yes, while I was watching this video all I could think was "I should have finished my 10 step program." Haha!

[@princessaka27]

They killed it everyone the whole band. And the majorettes were excellent.

[@martawatermanfitnesscoach]

So good!! I used to live in center city Philly and every time I'd hear a marching band outside, I'd run out to hear/see them better. I was missing that, so I searched here for "funky marching bands." YEAH!! That's what I'm talking about.

How'd it go lol?

[@jankfoots]

Ursula Johns Late reply but it actually went very well. The tenor part was a little eh but overall it was good

[@YoBroMan]

432 down votes? I seriously don’t know how anyone can dislike this. Drum cadences in the US came from military cadences, but it was black schools that brought more tribal beats, more rhythm, more soul, to drum cadences. The syncopated stick movements, head movements, the dancing....Anyone who likes any type of music has to appreciate this...and whites secretly wish they had soul and rhythm like this. I’m white, I would know :)

[@thatsisterwithcurves9343]

Damn, I have to start checking out more black marching bands. They got their shyt together, they are on point, hell the music beat has me dancing in my seat. Those cymbals, damn blowing the shyt up. I will be checking the black marching bands out during March Madness for sure.
