[@EsiJua]

Creative, but it was too busy. The field props were a great addition to see at an HBCU. Still, it was long, busy and boring. Yes, it was Sunday, but the "Alabaster Box" number and praise dancers etc. was boring. Being in Texas, a gospel selection by Kirk Franklin (Dallas) or Yolanda Adams (Houston) or Tamala Mann (Dallas) would have engaged the crowd better, I think. Points missed. Overall, I give it a B for big, busy and boring - yet somewhat of a breakthrough for HBCU bands because of the big props. 👍

Y’all always trying to find things to complain about if it ain’t them overdoing something it why they didn’t do this or that.

Additionally, according to BGMM alums and the audience in attendance at the 2022 game in Greensboro Norfolk's show was better and had better engagement from A&T fans. I'm sorry but their audience didn't get into them playing Mr. Roboto, Automatic and Christina Aguilera. They responded to the Legion playing songs by Earth wind & fire and TLC. Also, the HBCU Culture BOTB the general consensus was that the Legion had a far more Superior show than anyone in attendance. The irony if you talkin about the white man's Kool-Aid when North Carolina A&T is in the majority white conference. You might want to take a drink of the white man's CAA Conference Kool-Aid.
