In 2017 season they had 2 dm Auxiliary:7 dancers, 7 flags Instruments:2 flutes,4 clarinets,5 sax,7 trumpets,3 Mellos/French,2 baritones,5 t-bones,6 tubas Percussion:2 snares,2 tenors, 2 cymbals,no quads, and 1 bass. Now this year they have 4 dm Auxiliary:12 dancers, 9 flags Instruments:6 flutes,12 clarinets,6 sax,21 trumpets,12 mellos/French,10 baritone,20 t-bones,20 tubas Percussion:7 snares,9 tenors,12 cymbals,3 quads and 6 bass,that’s from 57 to 168 ppl. What a drastic change; he must have been making it rain with those scholarships.

[@KINGJAM2010]

Bruh I said the same thing

[@KINGJAM2010]

Said the same thing bruh, unleashed his inner oprah, u get a scholarship u get a scholarship 🤣🤣🤣 good growth tho💯

[@andresuston7692]

That's what's gotta happen to get them students out practicing and all the hard work that comes with it. It ain't highschool no more, they gotta pay for that talent. 👊

[@kadijahjacobs2758]

He was! Literally was at every event in Dallas giving them out lol

[@AB_Dev01]

Kadijah Jacobs so most of the people are from Texas

[@invadeone2]

So proud students are returning to HBCU

[@boomaa7071]

Lawwd they have gotten five times bigger!!in one year!

[@grayscar05]

I've never seen a band get this big in one year ... hopefully it stays like this. Kids normally drop out once school starts due to partying etc

[@IrvPayne]

Jss Pss UAPB had about 72 people in 97... upon entering the SWAC officially the next year, CA 98 had over 180 freshman in that class....I think we had about 55-65 upperclassmen.... When I saw Langston first hit the field I thought the same thing that you commented on... comparatively. Obviously their AD and the school opened up the funds to let them thrive and grow.... same thing happened to us. It doesn’t happen often... but it does happen. Good for them tho 👊🏾

[@terrancemacklin417]

irv intelligent They recruited Detroit, Chicago and Ohio pretty that year

More trumpet. Other than that, nice sound for the band to be a healthy bit of freshman. Hope to see yall in a BOTB soon

[@GVocalz3]

Right, 21 trumpets should come through more than this.

[@jimbeam3783]

@@GVocalz3 .....they need at least 35 trumpets.

[@woodsoncircle]

SOLID field show and we aren't even in Sept yet. Sound was forceful, clean and well articulated. The flags added a nice "touch" as well. Enjoyed your show and have a terrific school year. I know your families are so proud.

[@woolly65]

I see a lot of improvement, but Langston still has a lot of work to do.

[@Ricoriccoreco]

Are they HBCU.. FIRST time ever hearing from this band.. outstanding performance.. Hope to see them more during the season..

[@jj3a1]

Congrats and I hope the people in the stands appreciate and support you all. Keep pushing for greatness!! AWESOME,

[@MajPayne]

Man for real. The presentation is always top notch. I'm definitely taking notes.

So i thought it was "if we dont make yo booty move yo booty must be dirty"😂 but its dead

[@MicahiLove]

All they need is better discipline when marching and not being sloppy. They'll be just fine 👍

[@steffizzie2]

Awesome job!!! Would love to see more flags through out the show! Will help bring more color to the show!!

[@charlese.sylvesterjr.8631]

This is the first time I've seen this marching band and I am impressed they sound so good. The DM's are lit! The entrance was good and I could hear everyone playing. The percussion has a thunder heart beat. Love all the old skool jams they're playing! Da Butt takes me back to my era as a percussionist for Fort Valley State College, in the middle to late 80's, now FVSU. Tear the field up Langston and I'm definitely gonna follow y'all!

[@lashawnhames6137]

The tubas look outstanding

[@grayscar05]

Also I would love to see a TxSU, PV, Langston, UAPB battle of the bands .... TX-OU-AR connection

I have never heard of this school, but the Marching band program sounds great.

[@teejay7149]

Langston been around. The school was even featured on BET’s College Hill season 2 in 2004...The band has made appearances at the honda battle of the bands in 2005, 2006, and 2007....I think the program had financial issues and stuff like that so they kinda fell off a little bit. But now they are under new management and there back.

[@ashirabowen1737]

I absolutely love it!!!

Wow, decent numbers!
