This was great. An HCBU and PWI performing together. That is what it's all about in the end...the love of music! Different styles lead to the same place. Bust those stereotypes Aggies!

[@RasAlXander]

I almost cried with happiness to see this amazing blend of two different styles, excellent, just amazing, this is what I want to see more of

[@great9800]

I never would've thought I'd see a PWI and HBCU marching band combined in a halftime show. It's a dream come true to see! I'm very proud of both universities!

[@drequynnrod5077]

Grambling has did this for year go watch u of h vs gsu

[@michaelenriquezenriquez7336]

What do those stand for?

[@ir1825]

+Michael Enriquez Enriquez PWI predominantly white institution; HBCU historically black colleges & universities .... And U of H and Grambling do it everytime they play each other

[@drequynnrod5077]

+Texans Nation yup gsu did it in 06 too.

[@nico.liberatore-resnick]

ET, Last Friday Night, Teenage Dream, Circle the Drain, Dark Horse -- in that order. This was amazing.

[@martinbuster9096]

Yup, you must be a KatyCat :)

[@christophergarner9293]

Hi

[@paul8079]

It was the most impressive halftime show in Kenan I've ever seen and I'm a season ticket holder for 16 years. A&T band is amazing.

[@ShowtimeWeb]

This was a really nice show. The merger was really clean.

[@timothyminor8038]

Extremely proud of NC A&T and UNC Chapel Hill! Once again showing why the University of North Carolina System of Higher Education is the best in the nation.

[@DSNCB919]

amen

[@great9800]

+Timothy Minor Always looking out for each other and the love between institutions. #UNCCharlotte #NinerAlum

[@Grillmaster33]

True but pay A&T our dues

[@businessownerssuccessschoo3693]

This wasn't the first time an HBCU band and PWI band had performed together but it was the first time they had build their shows around it. Typically when this happens they just join on the field in block band formation and play a song. This show was in the planning for months and both bands worked on combining their efforts. Once again, Dr. Ruff and his staff at A&T have found a unique way to make halftime more entertaining for everyone. Congratulations and I can't wait to see what other magic you do next week. Aggie Pride!

[@MD-2612]

Over a year later and I'm still watching this!!!!

[@ldlhicks]

Me too

[@KevinLeroyGrant]

As a black person marching at a PWI who used to do show in high school, I crave for this experience all the time. I'm surprised I haven't seen this until today, but this is just the best sort of halftime ever

[@JerichaLuvsYou]

what a beautiful demonstration of true music. Music has no race, color or sexual orientation. I love my HBCU and I love the PWIs as well. At the end of the day, we are all student striving for excellence.

[@RasAlXander]

amen to that

[@muleskinner100]

From our Chancellor, Dr. Harold Martin, to our Band Director, Dr. Ruff, to our Coach Mr. Broadway and to the entire Aggie Nation that participated in the A&T/UNC experience in Chapel Hill ... YOU MADE US PROUD!!! The camaraderie between the students and fans from both schools made this historic event one to remember for ages to come. The music, showmanship, sound, presence, precision and coordination made the North Carolina Family Love Fest a huge success. Aggie Pride!!

[@marcillapatterson2090]

EPIC SUCCESS!!!!!!! I did not see that coming!!!! BGMM is always a crowd pleaser, but this show of unity took it to another level! Seeing my son perform at my alma mater is an experience I will never forget!!! So proud of all of you!

[@SupervillainDW]

wow I wasn't ready! their showmanship is unparalleled at this point!

[@MicahiLove]

7:50 I'm not crying

[@visual52]

This "blending" of these two bands gives me a piece of hope in humanity...professionally done. Proud of both UNC and NC A & T !!

[@DJEvrytingCriss]

Ahh man that was awesome!! #Unity if music is what it takes . this should go viral asap!!

[@OneVoice412]

These Banda uniting displayed a message that should be carried way beyond the stadium. This is UNITY at its greatest form. Uniting to bring different styles together and entertain the masses and bring forth a sense of hope within a nation that's going through so much to tear us apart and separate us again. This was absolutely amazing. The joy and laughter and smiles these kids had when the show was over. It's priceless!

[@OneVoice412]

*bands

[@siralonne7412]

Just watching this sent shivers down my spine. The unity of two Different schools is amazing. I was at that game and I took a video but it got corrupted so, this is the only way I can listen to it. Thank you.

This is NCAT is my #1. The hardest thing now is to top yourselves! I like that NCAT tries to do a theme in their shows, it keep the show focused!

[@TahinaEvangelista]

Dark Horse was EVERYTHING! Incredible!!

[@assignment37]

Greetings. The N&O was wondering if you, or someone else in the band department, would grant us permission to run this video at newsobserver.com.

[@ThomasLJonesJr]

+newsobserver.com Of course! Let's make this thing go viral! You have my permission.

[@tbrown8721]

+newsobserver.com You should call up the News & Record and try to convince them to do the same thing and all the other news agencies. The Unity shown in this video is beautiful, just absolutely beautiful.

[@drummajor101]

[@joshuabloodsworth5503]

I was there! Amazing stuff

[@quanchew753]

WOW! I never expected anything like this. That was an AMAZING show! Both bands sound awesome playing together, and Golden Delight was beyond Incredible. Those ladies never seem to tire from dancing. This show was planned well, and ALL are worthy of praise. What a show!

[@bobbym.2130]

Kudos to BOTH Chapel Hil & A&T on this collaboration!!! Awesome job, y'all!

[@ThemPoloProductions]

Wow, this is amazing, NC A&T may have its self a new member once my Army contract is complete !

[@viz1]

Can you imagine if the old FAMU and Ohio State combined?

[@darlingtgoody]

[@DizzyTV24]

Will there be room on the field?

[@MrRobinson1911]

this was absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS SHOW and I must say that those institutions are making strives at bridging the gaps between to cultures. Hates off to NCAT and UNC and I can only hope and pray that my state follows your positive example. #SCSU

[@DizzyTV24]

4 years later... I’m still watching this. This is the day history has been made

[@servania1892]

#freethedrone I'm tired of all these sad camera pans down to the drone in its case on every video

[@ShowtimeWeb]

They can't fly those over stadiums per the FAA

[@ThomasLJonesJr]

+ShowtimeWeb Yes, this is true, and I am thoroughly versed on all the regulations, but our admin actually doesn't want the drone to be used for anything band-related, whether it's in a park, or on a street, etc...

[@TravisCyprien]

+Thomas L. Jones, Jr. Man that sucks, The drone brought in really good shots. But idk, Glad to see the videos you bring every week.

[@clfoster3310]

I'd love to see more university do this to promote unity and the need for music promoting cultural diversity.

[@mikeyblack09]

Watching this gave me chills and watching it in person was even more epic! This is what it's all about!

I still watch this a LOT. The two trumpet players at @7:50 from UNC/NC A&T high-fiving and hugging it out just damn near brings me to tears. America needs more of this.

[@JOMCJournal11]

I love it! What an honor ... to have graduated from A&T, worked there and now to work at UNC-Carolina. This was historic. I'm so proud of my Aggies and Tarheels!!!! Prof. Davis

[@dahottestyet]

I still get tears in my eyes from watching this. Music is the international language. No matter our differences, music makes us one.

[@angelinahunter5283]

E.T., Last Friday Night, Teenage Dream, Circle The Drain and Dark Horse. What about Roar?

[@ryanmeyer9863]

Fantastic performance. Katy is so much better with a brass section! Congratulations!!!!!

[@madie1898]

Loved the collaboration between these two universities on the closing song.!

[@christinawallace2051]

this was totally awesome. not even the ENMU Greyhound Sound Marching Band can pull this type of thing off!

[@dalionkeyng3476]

that was cool but I rather watch A&T do it by their selves....lol @ the white kids that couldn't dance😂...good show,BCU would've did unc dirty thou

[@jerrodjohnson9297]

Show was one of a kind.. Anybody know why they sat the band in the upper level though? Is that the norm for visiting bands?

[@honchoponcho94]

Supposedly it's the new ACC rule that visiting bands sit up top in that area.

[@ericford4490]

All visiting bands at UNC are sectioned there odd but it's what they do

[@TheFirstLady131]

Awesome show! I never thought I would see the day when a PWI band and a HBCU band perform together. It was a success! Thanks for the video!

[@chriskid56]

Amazing! I've never seen 2 college marching bands work together like this!

[@warrenbraswell9785]

YES!

[@BLKnPrd67]

The combined ending is awesome. This really makes you respect our dancers in how they put on a Broadway show during halftime. BIG UPS to all of those young ladies doing their thang.

[@quemor7595]

I'm loving the unity. Both universities did an awesome job!

[@victoramarante5066]
