Gram always represents all HBCU bands well when they are chosen. They NEVER disappoint. Outside of the SWAC they are beloved because truth be told it's not the SWAC MENTALITY that prevails when it comes to being chosen. If they're living off of the past then so is every other HBCU band out there that's recognized outside of the HBCU world because after it's Grambling and FAMU that put HBCUs on the map. Don't hate, congratulate and when other bands are chosen......appreciate!!!!.

[@TravisCyprien]

That's what I am talking about my Dad would be proud. GSU is one of the best bands. My Dad was class of 94. Tuba Section Leader. Glad to hear the tubas and Chocolate Thunder working there magic.

[@mzkitty2127]

[@PrivateSmiles]

Grambling shows class when they go somewhere. Inviting SU is like inviting your thug homeboy to the company picnic.

[@rahlohmcdonogh280]

PicNic!You're an idiot!

[@anitradaffin9145]

tj baby 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@nyromaniaify]

Maaaaaaaan 😄

[@danizascott7176]

That's how you do that!!! Proud of you guys for representing Grambling and the state of Louisiana well!!!!

[@elijahmartinmartin7059]

Sound good

[@straightvessel]

Thank you kingofkings318 for those remarks that feel short of those fitting of a king. Typically the performance guideline prevent the Baddest Band in the land from "showing out". When I was a student at Gram.. I watched this band do things in practice that other bands only hope to achieve. And we won't even go into how they step at the step shows. Grow a little perspective..

[@TheDeldrickj]

Man so proud !!!!!!! gotta love the PUB we got , this video needs to spread like wild fire Dell '03

[@ljsmixbox44]

[@aatw4]

GOOD JOB GSU!! YALL SOUNDED REALLY GOOD!!!

[@scotty4021]

I like the song they were jammin by the gap band and one of the participants in the band I'am relative to,Go Grambling!

[@duffylaggg]

Man don't get mad at GSU this what they do.

[@larryhandy1391]

World Traveled - World Famed. It appears that Grambling State has the ONLY HBCU band that can STILL park on the dance floor. AND YOU KNOW THIS!!!!!

[@zinalewis5123]

Great JOB GSU

[@urbanprep87]

Prez was jammin before he got interrupted

[@Crowdpleaser84]

Yes. Performed on the mic in a few of their halftime shows too

[@matthewswain9881]

GSU Need I say more.....

[@ZebraLens]

The Tuskegee Airmen float at 8:28 gave me chills! and to see one in the stand was awesome! I wonder what President Obama was thinking? :) Of course Tuskegee University should have marched with the float.

[@drequynnrod5077]

aamuboi10 they actually were invited both times but couldn't afford it.

[@ZebraLens]

Oh

[@chatty2164]

He copied George Bush's inauguration. They did the same thing in 2001 for his.

[@omgtj007]

PROUD ALUMNI RIGHT NOW GS.GS.GS. U.U.U I THOUGHT YOU KNEW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ayemeggo]

The Gap Band -"Early in the Morning"

[@MrWroy853]

I am proud of GSU. I am a UAPB Alumni, but I feel that whoever that was talking to Pres stole some of the band's spotlight.

[@shawntusa]

o yeah, who here remember's the coke commercials of the early 80's

[@851995STARGATE]

whats the song that starts at 1:47 sounds great

[@PrettyMisses1908]

I almost cried when they played the FIGHT SONG!!! FIGHT..WE'RE OFF TO VICTORY!!! #Inauguration2013 #ProudGramblingAlumni'96

[@aatw4]

paul uapb was at the last one not SU gsu did bushes too! 09 dsu,.uapb,famu,howard,hampton, and a few more. But i think su was at bushes too idk but i do know they were at clinton's though.

[@pauljames7438]

Come on you all. If my memory serve me correct, UAPB and Southern were at the last two Democratic Presidents Inauguration Parade. SWAC bands are always good representatives to their schools and HBCU's.

[@drequynnrod5077]

Paul James no southern wasn't, delstate,Hampton FAMU uapb Howard gsu I maybe forgetting a few

[@MrSmeadows81]

Gram Alumni '07

[@Salsadivva]

Nice job, Grambling State!

[@BostonBlac]

Awesome!!!!!

[@REPUBLICANSAREBEYONDSTUPID]

Them damn tubas sound mean as hell! 👍🏾

[@ZackryPaul]

I'm not a big fan of Grambling, but i do like that I'm Your Baby Tonight

[@SonicBoomC98]

GSU is not chosen because they don't have "SWAC Mentatlity." If it wasn't GSU or FAMU, it would have been someone. They were the ones who happened to be recognized first. I don't know if was the right person saw them or the right person at GSU knew the right person outside GSU, but GSU just has a known name. No matter what form of entertainment you're in, usually people outside your world only know about a handful of your members.

[@drequynnrod5077]

SonicBoomC98 and jsu is known for what?? you are a hypocrite gsu members are well known the largest KKPSI chapter in hbcu an tbs Jsu can't help but hate jsu can't help but give hate and it's you yearly but where are you on your band weak ass field show post walking to a spot or running UAPB HAS BETTER SHOWS that the premier jsu come on fool

[@oliviarodrigues2323]

World famous - you heard the man say it! So let's get it.

[@sugababyray29]

[@chatty2164]

They did Bush in 2001 as well. Also a great job then too

[@williguy325]

[@DrayArkansas]

[@LAURELG71021]

DOC SAID ONLY 26

[@Damariun224]

Can't have SU and JSU there..... a battle would break out Lol but good job SWAC GSU

[@mrlincolnls00]

Wth gsu where or somebody good sloppy

[@hhshnic]

So tired of the SU haters. SU wouldn't have done nothing but march and play also. ROTFL

[@Crowdpleaser84]

That's the problem with "US" these days. That's why folks are not as spirited anymore and halftime shows lack house because instead of enjoying the show, folks are worried about bells, rolling bass drums, white shoes and an occasional microscopic mistake. You know the "hater" mentality.

[@MrAWalker123]

The rest of the SWAC congrats Grambling but when it's time to put on those overalls and the rest of the uniform, it's war. You have to march at an HBCU band to understand. Congrats though. But why is the xylophone louder than the tuba section?

[@drequynnrod5077]

Alex Walker they do have on full uniform. anything media wise gsu is in full uniform

[@callystarr]

why is that trombone player breathing after every note?? *smh*

[@aatw4]

why when gsu do something su is brung up in it? For gsu to be a non factor toward su i swear they flock to anything gsu. Just give love and worry about performing for the super bowl pre game. It's finally good news for SU band minus the hazing just continue to get good media attention.

[@thagreen72]

3-1-8 top of da boot

[@stevenwinthrope3039]

come on .... every body knows gamble can perform what happen.

[@francesthibodeaux7069]

😉🖤💛❤️🌍WF🌍❤️💛🖤😉

[@labriejo1ify]

Go World Famed!!!

[@aatw4]

FAMU wears white shoes too they look better on the field

[@nyromaniaify]

Especially when the marching is on point

[@aatw4]

kingofking GSU WAS PICKED TWICE,HOWgsu living off something had three tv shows,good morning america. This. Just did cowboys game next dallas mavs, while others are hazing gsu holding it down take your hating off somewhere while you hate your fav band at home while gsu waving. Hate if you want you wasting your time. Hater

[@TheFrite92]

they should've brought SU so they could play "My President is Black"!

[@bandboy63]

sounds like a high school

[@SonicBoomC98]

Not hating on GSU. It's just no one else does that. I can say UAPB was better this week. Someone from GSU will say " well UAPB wasn't in the first Super Bowl." It's arrogance. I have no problem with the recognition. I want any and all us to have it. People tell me to shutup about improving SWAC football. IF the teams are better, more people come, thus more see bands. I want to be able to go anywhere and say "my cousin in band at GSU/JSU/SU" and it be like saying my cousin travels with Jay Z

[@SonicBoomC98]

GSU people to act like some committee really sits around, looks at various band tapes, and chooses GSU. They're going to use whomever someone else used or who they've seen on TV. Being outside they band world, GSU might be only band Obama really knows about. That's not to knock GSU, but GSU people need to stop using "we get invited to stuff" excuse when they're criticized. When people criticize the BOOM, we don't say "well we got invited to Motown, Image Award, Senior Bowl or other performances.

[@drequynnrod5077]

SonicBoomC98 that's bs I'm tired of su an jsu folks downing gsu on every event gsu did not start it su did then jsu gsu is defending their program hypocritical ass su an jsu folks y'all dish out but never can take shit anyone sayes...and yes a committee does choose and gsu was chosen twice for the same person I'm sick of jsu an su ppl downing bands when y'all aren't doing anything no difference from the bs jsu an su puts on the field but say they're #1 but give steller performance in the stands this is hbcu love but jsu an su can't help but dog others when they're not in the spot light jsu or su wasn't invited to neither so save that gsu is arroant bs because I can copy and paste your post on youtubr yearly about others don't be a hypocrite just get it out typical jsu person

[@kingjokerful]

please get rid of that damn glock please its annoying and really makes the band sound like a childs toy

[@TQO81]

GSU is garbage, SU all day long!!!

[@drequynnrod5077]

Titania Owens and su wasn't there they were at home watching gsu. it's crazy how folks bring another band on a clip if gsu suck then why click on a gsu clip?? BTW GSU went twice and only hbcu in this parade on they lead it too . go watch 2016 bayou classic gsu far from suck

[@TQO81]

GSU is garbage, SU all day long!!!
