Literally had to look up what HBCU stood for. I'm originally from MA and moved to GA in June2020. I've learned more about slavery, black culture and black injustice - in the past 1 year -- from the Daily Show - than I was ever taught in school or otherwise, in MA. I do appreciate what I am learning, but seeing just how corrupt and unjust and unfair America really was, AND CONTINUES TO BE, is just.... I don't know, it's just making me realize that we as a people, as a society... we're really not evolving, in any sense of the meaning of that word. I don't know what we're doing considering how far back slavery was ended, yet we're seeing the same old injustices again and again.... Sadly, this explains a lot though.

Marching band is a subculture in and of itself. Black marching band culture is very different from White marching band culture. Mexican and Japanese folks also have unique marching band cultures of their own that differ greatly from White marching band/drum corps culture. I had a degree in band and was teaching it before I found out about Black Marching Band culture. I call it that, because, while HBCUs are the cornerstone, they exist in adult and community marching bands as well as at the high school level. Joining my music fraternity (Mu Phi Epsilon), which has chapters a few HBCUs, and getting to know some of their members (one of my dearest friends was a member of the Howard University band), changed my perspective on things and was one of the things that taught me about how racism works, since a lot of the things that are valued in Black marching band culture are often looked down upon in White band culture.

The young ladies looked so glamerous, the music and the high stepping was so energetic and different from all the other bands from Indiana.

Super fun way to explain the topic. I love it! Unfortunately, those innovators get little to no credit for their contributions to music and marching. Also, watching a tuba player run is awesome! Amusing joke you said near the beginning about why the military needed a band. It’s actually because they are trying to move a huge group of people, without anyone getting stepped on and squashed before the fight even starts. A simple drumbeat for each step would do the job to keep the feet in step for everyone. Who would rather listen to that over some nice tunes?
