As a former HBCU Band member. I have to give Justin his flowers for his beautiful 90 degree to high step with a slight point to the toes. ❤❤❤❤

[@MrWarriorsMom]

I noticed that. Such precision in every step

[@cathyann2934]

Awesome band. Been watching the Vanilla Funk (Justin Heideman) for a while. Great showmanship from everyone!!

[@JesusfavQueen]

They can either join us or get left 😂

[@feliciam2953]

I started watching them bc of Justin also. But I've grown to love the band as a whole the more I watch them.

[@diannturner4858]

Ok, so I’ll be up until about 3:00 a.m. watching and rewinding these Drum Majors! 😁 Those white uniforms are definitely 🔥! Come on through ASU! 🖤💛🐝

[@btone03]

I’m just loving those new uniforms on them the band look so crispy clean and everybody doing their part. 👍🏽

[@TakiaMurphy]

Drummajor always be fye for the classic 🔥🔥

[@merkibabi]

stingettes , honey beez and the flag girls have had very nice uniforms all season !!! the drum majors look good in white !!! the drum major coordinator that suit is niceeeee ,mrs. d looks goooood , everybody look good lol

[@bobbymoss6160]

Some people are so disrespectful, they be getting in the band's way. SMH. You see the band coming, MOOOOOOVE!

[@joefro9473]

It's a black thaaaang!!!

[@karendavidson7538]

​@@joefro9473It's a stupid and disrespectful thing.

[@roxannefaith3333]

I said the same thing.

[@gwendolynwilliams7177]

Yes, I agree. This is so nice. Very classy and the March is so smooth and elegant. I also like the percussions at front of band. Nice job Alabama.

[@nathanstrickland6508]

I'm a 50 year old man. Who watches content like this all the time. I just can't get enough of all this. The music, the showmanship, the dedication to the tradition. Is just beautiful to be able to see and listen and appreciate. All the time these wonderful young people put into it. It's just a beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing this with us all. You just don't see this from where I'm from.

[@moonedward63]

you're exactly right from a West Coast bandsman in the 1980s.

[@amycuaresma]

The Alabama State University Mighty Marching Hornets are a force to be reckoned with! Their technical prowess is unmatched, their musicality is breathtaking, and their leadership skills are inspiring. They command the attention of the crowd and lead the band with precision and passion, always delivering an unforgettable performance.

[@martezgraham7889]

That entrance was god awful and a disgrace to everyone who ever marched in the band. Coming into the MCC is where u make your statement “WERE HERE “. That was a high school entrance. All Mighty Marching Hornets 🐝 should be embarrassed and ashamed. No Watergate, No Funky 4???? Really????

Alabama State is just so good. I can watch these guys over and over. The ladies are all beautiful.

[@attentionwalmartshoppers9276]

Drummajors look good and clean in that white

[@a.m.6847]

Their drum cadence sounds soooooo smooth and tight!!!

[@kendrawilliams9598]

This precussion I love it . They sound amazing 😻 I can hear the quads and snails tearing it up

[@a.m.6847]

​@@kendrawilliams9598 they sound like a traditional HBCU band with a flair of a good drum and bugle corp...the rhythm is very upbeat throughout the entire cadence, I love especially love that

[@pokemon1275]

Love that we finally get to see the beat of the band aka the drum /percussion. Usually most of the videos get taken up by views of the dancers... This is a nice break!

[@domigriffin340]

The honey bees uniform is the damn tea they slayed that . Stinegttes looking good princess glowing like a queen

[@cristina-dk4vo]

Banner girls/flag girls, stingette, & honeybees uniforms look fabulous. The band looks awesome

[@michelled42790]

Best MCC walk-in uniform since 2017. This is it Stingettes! And one thing about it, Ms. Williams gon give the girls legs and hips and BAWDY. Yes ma’am!!

[@Beautybeat77]

Yep she is!!!! I just wish people would give her her credit as well as this designer because she is really pushing them in the different design direction. Pushing them out of they normal designs. I love it!

[@TDS927]

In my opinion, best walk in uniform since 2019. That 2019 uni was iconic. This uniform is in that league. The uniforms this year have really been on point. 💯💥🔥

How "RUDE" do you have to be to "JUST STAND THERE IN THE WAY" when clearly you see all "5" of the DM's coming towards you?!!!!!!! @2:55-56. Common sense would tell you to move! SMH!

Omg I thought I was the only one annoyed by the complete ignorance of the people standing there. The leader on the side closest to the fence where those rude people were had to literally perform ON them, he barely could move!!! 😡🤦‍♀️
