FAMU Marching 100 and UNC Marching Tar Heels joint halftime show

[@snell305]

As a former MARCHING 100 band member it was special to see 2 bands from 2 different cultures playing together! We are all one at the end of the day!!! MUCH RESPECT to the University of North Carolina for allowing this to happen!!!

[@dirtysprite6312]

i prefer to see HBCU bands perform together… if it makes sense. Every day i’m reminded that we are not one at the end of the day… don’t be fooled

[@Prince_BNice]

@@dirtysprite6312 My thoughts exactly. If we were all one, Europeans wouldn't be trying so hard to get us to act like, take their standards of beauty, believe as they do, and do as they do. We are different and that should've always been respected. Much respect to both bands that show although we are different, we can move as one. It starts with Respect 🙏🏾

UNC has stole billions from NC HBCUs you shouldn’t be proud lol

@@dirtysprite6312 that's your opinion but remember even though we know there are some people that feel that we are not one, that don't apply to everyone & we are all God's people. Stop allowing some people to make you think that way. It's negative thinking like that, that keeps us divided...smh..But again you have the right to your opinion & I respect that...

[@gloriadulan-wilson1076]

As awesome as it was to have the two bands together - the cameraman was either an amateur or white - because everyone knows you can't see the true formation of a marching band's halftime show unless you are taking it from and ariel view. They were doing some wonderful footwork - and some great choreographic moves - but they were missed because the camera was taking it from the ground view - and I'll bet those students worked hard rehearsing for that half time. Do you know if anyone else got shots of the band from the bleachers or from one of the sky boxes? Would really love to see those.
