Marching In | 2021 Magic City Classic | Alabama State University

[@rubinwilson3426]

It's funny how the DM's style isn't flashy, but there robotic motion demands your attention. No dancing no jumping, just discipline and precise motion that's it. This Spartan 💚💛 admires it.

[@melissaw35mw]

Happy

That's because they are the Mighty Marching Hornets! You should have seen us when WE we're ALL Male. Yeah 🤣 this is from a OL Gangster ASS Mighty Marching Hornets from 1971-1975. Those were the real days! Snap and Drive!!!!!!!!! Rest in Power "Kool Aide"

[@jamesmcintyre5840]

YEAH I said it!! ALL MALE!!!! No comparison ☺️😄 the Ladies are fine as hell and very beautiful. ALL OF Them. The Flag Girls, Honey Bee's, Stingettes.... Lisbeth I'm coming to join you Honey save me a seat by de LAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's why we were ALL MALE!!! None of it precision would've been possible if we even had ONE of those young fine ASS ladies!

Vanilla Funk is just a naturally blessed "mover". His moves are sharp, precise, and clean. Just like his high school days. Look at those toes.

[@njaskew7522]

Yes, it's just in his "soul" !!!!

[@ljsmixbox44]

What does all of this have to do with the drum major. Us black people are not only blessed...all people are bless. Calling someone vanilla funk is an insult to him because he's Marching and representing ASU. Why don't you'll appreciate it.

[@monember2722]

@@ljsmixbox44 I called him vanilla funk because that's his instagram name as well.

Love how the head drum major gives commands with authority and is still a smooth 🔥 that demands respect. 1st class leadership that the other 3 drum majors follow on queue. Great job gentlemen 👍🏾

Bro, Alabama State Drum Majors COLD AF! I mean just check out them boys, and their style of march starting at 01:25, and then look how they transition to an even COLDER style of march at around 01:58! Ooh Wee, them boys just too COLD! 🔥🔥💯 Human JukeBox alum here to show some love and support for our HBCU's, and as well as the Alabama State University Mighty Marching Hornet band.

[@derrickmerkerson1342]

I love a military style band. High marching...feet straight up to the knees pointed, and the drum majors keep their military formation almost all the time. Love the conservatism.

[@Solutions3000]

Oh, this performance is conservative; however, there's nothing conservative about this band as a whole. This is just the march in.

[@miklmiklmtrcycl6009]

Weirdest comment. I see this as absolutely liberal. As an infantryman conservative marching😊😊 is much more relaxed natural and efficient than this. But I do like this.

[@trusoldier77]

Just clean and very polished. Hats off to the directors and the band

[@timothysmith869]

Great video quality too

[@fostermarcus86]

I like how the DMs all have Different Uniforms yet damn near perfectly synchronized and unified in their choreographic roles.

[@terryh989]

I started watching because of the white kid drum major but I’m really impressed with this entire band! I’m an older white woman who did drum Corp in my band long ago and now I’m hooked on this band! Keep it up ladies and gentlemen! You’re awesome !

[@pa4362]

That’s Vanilla Funk ! His whole story is on KZbin

[@misscleo378]

I also started watching because of a TikTok I saw of Vanilla Funk. I always paid attention to the cheerleaders and never the marching band or drum line, but man, was I missing out. They are so much fun to watch.

[@Solutions3000]

Ms. Terry H., Ms. Terry H! Hopefully, you've become more familiar with the band that IS Alabama State University, as well as the man they call Vanilla Funk. Find his high school videos.

[@terryh989]

Oh I found his HS videos long before he went to Al state. I think he went to the wrong college for his talent. I loved Bri and the stingettes which I discovered because of Vanilla Funk but now that Bri is gone I don’t watch the band anymore. Poor Vanilla been turned into a nutcracker and I can’t stand to watch it.

[@shurondaadkins5944]

That boy vanilla funk!!! that young man has been here before I'm convinced 🤣🤣🤣 they All look good

[@cartinaoverton5015]

[@theoelliott6282]

Shout out to ASU matching band from Illinois. You are Phenomenal!! Every section has it down. Kudos!! These Drum majors keep it tight !! You guys are really good. I am sharing on my facebook page. Keep up the good work ASU marching band.

[@jraybay]

I aint gonna lie, I love a bit of flash and serving some attitude, but when a band like this comes rocking up, it gives me chills. All business, and they are one unit. Clean and precise. Hats off to the marching hornets

[@johnhebert3855]

That's why fans at HBC games get their refreshments BEFORE halftime, so they can be in the stands to watch this.

Drum majors brought back old white uniforms! Looking great MMH from M4

[@beaulah_califa9867]

Thanks a mil camera/video people. Y'all documented a very important time in your band's calendar - the MCC. Would you please do a special on the drum majors???? JSU drum majors get all the attn. Even high school drum majors who adopt/follow JSU's style get all the media coverage...including Justin aka VanillaFunk when he was 2-yr capt at his high school alma mater. I much prefer ASU's style.

[@Tantejuju65]

Wonderful musicianship and precision!

[@btone03]

I’m so glad the flag auxiliary are getting so much more visibility on screen cus they really be slaying too. Honestly all of Bama State’s auxiliary teams are onnn point they definitely top tier. Excellent job to the band and drum majors as usual y’all always kill it on the march-in.

[@gothictdk3792]

What do drum majors do when the band is not playing? Do they sit at “attention”? Or just sit regular?

[@ajayyy_3]

Did you really single out one white person(vanilla?) just to lump all the black drum majors into one group as if they were his backup???! The pedestal y’all put white people on whom are within black spaces is absolutely disgusting.

[@YMD444]

@@ajayyy_3 I believe it’s perfectly clear to me and anyone with a heart beat that- “black people” are not-“backing anyone up” when it comes to this skill. I do not feel it is wrong to recognize this white dudes skill in this area if it truly exists. Your problem is not with me…it’s with the way -YOU HAVE CHOSE TO DIVIDE THE WORLD BY RACE. The sooner we take the color of a persons skin out of the conversation and choose to see PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE- the better the world will be period. My comment towards Vanilla (his nickname), was not made BECAUSE HE IS WHITE-…YOU MADE IT LIKE THAT. My comment was directed towards his skills which are well documented. Stop being insecure and stop being racist, if we want racism to END -EVERYONE needs to be a part of that goal.
