NCAT field shows put me in the mind of the HBCU field shows of the 80s and 90s. Showmanship , precision , and crowd participation . Now a days most HBCU field shows are filled with Rap Tunes, corny announcers, and poorly arranged dance breaks . Continue to set the bar Aggies! Esp in a day and age where SWAC bands seem to be the only ones getting any recognition or attention . Shoutouts to all my Meac , Siac, and Ciaa bands putting in hard work !

[@zaishaw6602]

Them trumpets at 6:28 🔥🔥boy I played that part over 20 times

[@anthonycunningham8398]

No one can out perform NCAT... the best by far..

[@toryjei9435]

No one...I mean no one in the HBCU world can touch this band on the field. I just love my alma mater. I only have teachers salary but I need to make a donation. I would love to see this program grow to 280. They are phenomenal

[@barutikatembo1328]

Tory Jones, you are absolutely right. The BGMM's growth expansion to 280 would be phenomenal. I am saying this an Aggie alum.

[@stephenfoster9091]

Tory Jones I agree with the 280.

[@symonejones6196]

@@pfunkbrothat's stretching it a bit far. However, so far this year the sound is better than last. No other dance line is as diverse and this good in any conference.

[@CreoleSkipster]

Tory Jones, they had a great field show....but ummm....let's not get besides ourselves. SU Representa!

[@clevelandbrown9059]

I love this band.... They're not afraid to try new things and be different... Keep up the good work.

[@cjwerts7403]

The arrangers are just phenomenal!!! Everything about this show was great! A real collegiate showing. That meeting in my bedroom was the icing on the cake 🎂. You can tell the culture is excellence. Aggie Pride!!

[@bittycam2694]

Got chills once meeting in my bed room came on. Listen to the runs and precision. You can't hear no fading or out if breath from them. Pitches are perfect. Trumpets are superb. THIS MY FUTURE SCHOOL RIGHT HERE!!!

[@BdCgWgLover313]

Them Aggies stay bringing that 🔥. My new favorite band. This show was everything. AMAZING from beginning to end.

[@brienb796]

BGMM the best in the land!!

New item added to my bucket list...see NC A&T perform live.

[@DJBiv788]

[@dalewilliams8131]

Wow! That was an excellent show!

[@danceguru8656]

Jesus I can't take Delight slaying on this first field performance.. Versatility at It's finest😘😘😘😘

[@danceguru8656]

Georgia Peach Of course they are. Delight plays no games. They are the best in the MEAC. The consistency & amazing performances is what I love about them😘😘

[@davisc1926]

Sounds good!! Tubas are humping too!!!

[@jamg324]

I stood up and shouted at that "Meeting in My Bedroom". I'm speechless.

[@wrightimpact]

Through out my years of being a part of the BGMM and now following there every performance, it ignites my spirit to continue to see how much the the vision of the leadership, mentorship, life coaching and Muscianship that is displayed on and off the field. It takes more than just practice to stay on top of your A game and make stellar performance and performance. It takes years of commitment to a program that has existed ever since I was a part even back in the 80's. I congratulate Dr. Ruff and his staff for their visionary leadership and the students for believing in him and his staff. Keep the vision moving forward and Eat the Worlds Face Off!!!

[@gararaisayegh8652]

Sounded beautifully dancers ladies you look great, nice energy and the formations were great much love from ATL 💜💜

[@rbailey336]

Wow! These guys are good! Even-though I am a student at Grambling State University, and I love the World Famed Tiger Marching Band... But A&T "ALWAYS" put on very nice field shows. Nice work!!!

[@JohnAnderson-yd3lq]

I would love to see Western Carolina and it’s 525 member band put on a combined halftime show, pre game and 5th quarter! What a sound and sight that would be! If we could just get the ADs and football coaches to agree to a home and home game!

[@authorcurtisjordan3497]

Now the season has officially started. BGMM is in the house!!

[@avrilthames6318]

In all the times I’ve heard this band perform, this was the their best performance: The hit just about everything right for performance sake.

[@sngozit]

Now, I'm new to this marching band on the HBCU college level since Cammie from the dancing dolls became a Dancing Doll at SU.... Of all the videos I have watched from colleges matching band field shows.... BY FAR!!!!!! Aggies are No. 1 in my book! #Excellent and versatile as ever... I think I love yall 😆

[@dwighthudson7284]

At 10:19 1. Rell said “...Does it Better”... 2. *Band goes into In the Stone* I was filled with pure AGGIE PRIDE

[@authorcurtisjordan3497]

Taken from an article: Just like the football team, which is riding a 14-game winning streak, there are high expectations for the band this season. They finished last year ranked the number one marching band among historically black colleges and universities, according to HBCUSports.com, and they`re picking up where they left off.

[@EACNUT]

What is it to say. Another outstanding performance. Aggie Pride!

[@dicemd]

As a Ex HBCU Drum Major from the 70's/80's, I must say....SHOWMANSHIP/PRECISION, this band is ON POINT! Great sound and "Flow" of a routine. Yep..I'd put them up against any of those great SWAC bands and the MEAC too!

[@RandomRecordings123]

I was waiting for that Earth, Wind, and Fire. Was about to be disappointed if it wasn’t in there. But they indeed did save the best for last.

[@jraa9010]

All I have to say is.... Who want it with them on the field? #aggieprideforlife

[@barutikatembo1328]

From an Aggie alum (1987; 1989), the show was very good (excellent sound, marching maneuvers & dance team inserts). If A&T's band had about 300 members as opposed to 200, the sound projection and visual imagery would be awesome. If so, no HBCU band could touch them; most bands can't touch them now, even with A&T's smaller comparative size to schools like B-CU, FAMU and Jackson State.

[@barutikatembo1328]

John H, could you explain your response a little more indepthly. Are you saying that you agree with me, but the size increase won't happen? Are you saying that you don't concur with thinking the A&T band show was very good? Please elaborate. Thanks.

[@terryharris367]

Baruti Katembo put your drugs down, now. To mention them in the same breath as Jackson State is enough to get you lock away for life.

[@barutikatembo1328]

I assume that you are not an A&T alum, but you probably would have made a good one (if given the right opportunity, tutelage & guidance). However, it is not too late: A&T has an impressive array of academic programs from from BS to PhD; you could go back and get an additional degree from A&T. Ha ha ha! But since you were checking out the A&T marching band via KZbin, the Aggie Nation will gladly accept you as one of our own. AGGIE PRIDE!!!

[@terryharris367]

Baruti Katembo don’t have to be genius to know that Jackson State is better known and awesome💙💙💙💙

[@barutikatembo1328]

Hello Terry. Just having fun! I like Jackson State's band also and think that it is very good. I support HBCUs in general.
