▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Marching Bands take on a revered, mythical status and is the stuff that home football games and Homecomings are made of. Bands are a distinctive part of the HBCU culture and their melodic blend of trumpets, cymbals and drums all come together to make the soundtrack of your favorite HBCU. Black college bands have always been famous for their enthusiastic routines and in some instances and within the campus cultures of their universities, the spectator popularity of HBCU bands sometimes eclipses the entertainment of the football game itself.
All that said. We were faced with a daunting challenge here: Formulating a list of an elite 10 HBCU bands…
So this is what we did. We checked out halftime shows… memorable homecoming performances… and even a handful of showcases like the Honda Battle of the Bands and National Battle of the Bands. We even got a little help from a couple of websites that we put down in the Description Box below.
What we have come up with is the best of the best. And we analyzed everything from song arrangement to showmanship. Drill formation, choreography, flag routines, drum majors, percussion, poise, class… and of course: SWAG!

Tough list to make - HBCUs don't have mediocre bands, period. They're ALL outstanding!
PRECISELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You are correct Grambling State University myself.
Wow! Top two are from Florida, my home state!
JACKSON ST COME OUT THUMBING HARD THEY ARE 4.REAL/8/22/22/
From the State of Alabama
Alabama State & Alabama A&M represent quite well . I see Tuskegee made the list.
All the HBCU Bands are the baddest bands in the land! Believe that! Respect for all of them.
I’m 60+ years young and I really don’t care to see any style of marching other than what we called High stepping,, that Corp style works my last nerve watching that by the number up down stuff,, yes , we can do that by the number 8 to 5 stuff and do,,, the difference is HOW!!! And it’s gonna be funky if done right,!!!!
When they show you who they are. You Better BeLieve THEM!!.
Absolutely! So much love for each and every one even the ones that didn't make this list because they are my people and just amazing in every way. Band is in my family and I have nothing but respect for this! Something about the soul we bring to the game!💙💙💙💙💙💙
Yes they are
@MYRON GIBERT
YOU ARE SO RIGHT. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL OF THEM.
I am from Brooklyn NY and this is Fantastic...we don't have any HBCUs but it made me so Proud to see these young Black Men and Women doing something so Creative and Positive... Graduate of CUNY and Navy Veteran... Black Power...🇺🇸
Yeah it's amazing! No matter where you're from, we're in this together!
Hey, Brooklyn has Medgar Evers College which is an HBCU but I don’t know anyone that has actually gone there
Glad you enjoyed seeing the video but it was an insult to the best band in the country, and that is SU Southern University of Louisiana. They have always been the sound and the Blue Print of what a real HBCU band should be. I really stating facts, you should look up some of there games, Parades and Battle of the bands against GSU Grambling University they always mop the floor with them.
@@deem10 yes. One of my frat bros used to be a professor there. He was killed on a derailed train in Philadelphia. My he continue to RIP 🪦
@@duvell1 Are you serious??? FAMU is the blue print to all of HBCU Bands today!!! And this is from an ASU Alum and Marching Hornet 😒
My son's HBCU is Lane College & he's the 🥁section leader. They're too small to make such a list, but I'm EXTREMELY proud of him & of them! I'm just an ALL HBCU FAN! I LOVE US!!!
*I've replayed that Tuskegee part, COUNTLESS times! Not only was the band, off the chain, the crowd was LIT!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆🥇
I agree with you I am from Alabama the capital so Tuskegee is about 30 minutes away from where my folks live at but I know very much about Lane College my high school sweetheart he went to Lane College he started there on a basketball scholarship. I was very impressed with Lane college that was back in 2000. Yes proud of your son he better work!!!!💯 and I hope you completely embarrass him and yell as loud as you can 😂😅😅🤣
I dn't about today, but a couple of years ago when Dr Owens & Dr Hughes were in charge of Lange College's band, they were one of the best in the lane. World famous.
That Tuskegee band and crowd got me in my hype feelings!!!!
very hype !!!!!
Man you aint lying!
Right, gone have me getting jumped at my home games for singing that dang song🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For real!! I need to go to a game! 🙌🏿
Power and sprite
Southern University at 9...✌🏿aight Ima head out. 🤪 FAMU, Bethune Cookman, SU and JSU should always be in the top 5. Glad to see Norfolk and NCAT get the attention they deserve. Also Alamba State wasn't there. WTH!
How does Alabama State NOT make the list??? 🤦🏾♀️
I said all of this..SU #9..ASU not on the list.
PB wasn't there either
Uapb better than half them skoos
NCCU Band🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You don't know how hard this is unless you played in band. Love them all.
I smiled the entire video!!!! I love marching bands. So proud that my college was on the this...BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD!!!!
Yass BEHOLD!!!
BEHOLD!
That’s right!! Norfolk State U ALLL DAYYY!!
YEESSS!!! The GREEN & GOLD! We Take No Prisoners! A Spartan Forever!🎇❤
This made me cry. The history… the excellence… the culture. My HBCU -VSU - wasn’t named among the greats, but I loved it! HBCU loves is real! 🧡💙
This was unarguably our favorite project to work on. Loved combing through all of the footage. Happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Southern University Human Jukebox!!! Often imitated but never duplicated!!!
Never duplicated!
Whoever made this list is just silly! There’s no way SU is below Grambling and not apart of the top 2 or 3 bands.
@@jasonsan9517 had me confused 🤔 too bruh……
@@jasonsan9517 that list is right get over it dam yall band director left get over it oh yeah JSU # 5 on that list
@@lashelllewis4169 Umm, what cha talking about smalls? I hope you aren’t referring to the ex-assistant band director Brien Simmons.
I don't know what the criteria was for the rankings, but SU (HumanJukebox) will never be 9th especially on this list. I'm willing to put SU against any collegiate band song for song any day...and I'll only use the 🦀s...that's how confident I am about my band.
Ok. Cuz I was thinking the same thing... 9.... absolutely no way🤣
SU is nice but just because they are loud doesn’t make them #1
@@lh5567 Eggzackly⚠️
Could never be number 9 LOUD & PRECISE!
I don't think this is in any particular order honestly.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the entire world was as unified and devoted as these band members. Absolutely amazing!❤️🔥
Southern University should have been at least top 5..... Hands down
top 3*
Top 2
Ikr top 3
They should have been over FAMU 💯
Agree
S U Jaguar Nation Human Jukebox fan all day! Keep playing that music and high stepping, my peeps!
My people will never lose their style and swag. No one can ever take that away. Others can imitate as much as they want BUT they will never have it! Though we have our adversities I'm proud of my black people.
My uncle went to FAMU. He taught music and was the band director at several high schools throughout his career, and taught that same passion and discipline to his students. It was wonderful to see his high school marching band play some of the HBCU cadences out of respect in the thanksgiving parade. Many students were inspired and went to HBCUs after graduation. Its is a proud tradition and legacy.
Warms my heart to read all of the comments about the student section at Tuskegee ! Yes it is lit and has always been that way since I was there in the 80's. We didn't "Ball & Parlay" back then, but we do now! Congrats to all of the other amazing HBCU bands on and off this list! You all are amazing!!!!
I remember “ Get it all” by Mandrill being played by the Tuskegee band in the 70s.
The Sonic Boom of The South and The Human Jukebox should be top 2!!
Factory
#Facts
Nope they selected the right top 2
My thoughts exactly....
Exactly this list a joke they did Southern Wrong 😑 on this list!
Behold the Green & Gold!!!!! Let's go Spartan Legion ✨️ Norfolk State University is it!!!!! I love our band.
Let the heavens resound with the source of your musical sound…!!!!
Behold!! 🔰🔰
I visited Norfolk State University it is a beautiful campus
Yeesss!!! Spartans! 🔥 🔥 🔥
NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY!!!!BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD 💚💛💚💛
GSU as they say "Incomparable, Illustrious"..... so proud of our HBCU bands. They are all #1.
Awesome!
All the black college bands, and dancers! You all are amazing!
Vida in replying to your comment I think all of our HBCU bands are exciting and we must give them their props because they are so entertaining. Thanks for not being bias as to choose one over another.
One thing I can tell you about Tuskegee. The band isn't as big as it was back in the 90's and early 2000's, but they've ALWAYS done a great job with student/fan interaction!!!
This is absolutely priceless!! BlackPeopleRock against ALL odds!!
As soon as I saw SU low on this list I knew the comments were gonna go bad.
But facts is truth and we all know who really reigns supreme
Norfolk State is the best
As they should. I had to rewind two make sure I wasnt tripping 😂
And it should SU 9 on this list you know not accurate apparently the list made up with someone who love meac SU crush famu 2019 bcu to weak for southern because of this list is shameful SU gonna take out everyone that faces them they will feel the pressure intensify that people SMH damn word be said SU must be mad they knockin heads off
Southern University is the most hated program in the SWAC. I guess that's how it is when you're #1
HBCU Bands are about the flavor. Respect it & be proud of your Culture no matter where you are from. Love All💯❤
Love all HBCU Bands! Phenomenal entertainment!👍🏿🔥
That Tuskegee Student section just did sumthin 2 me
U can’t find energy like that anywhere on the planet!!! I luv HBCU’s
Yesss 💯💯
All the way LIVE!!!
I'm a Rattler but I've been to Tuskegee games and you are correct that is some great energy there!
@@rozwynn2349 I’m a Rattler too.. and Tuskegee energy is the bomb!
Yesssssss I had to get my fat self up and dance with them ........ishhhhhh Vibeeee💯💯💯
My son plays percussion at our little rural middle school here in Southern lllinois. I keep showing him HBCU videos because I want him to see how lit band could be if he picks the right college.
He would love the HBCU band experience! Good luck to him on his future choice!!
Yes great job mom's. Continue teaching so the children can learn. I'm a drummer and grad from am HBCU and I hope your son choose any HBCU 💪🏾💯💯💯
This is not a great list. I suggest you keep looking at videos. (-:
GREAT JOB Mom!! I've been a band mom since my son's middle school & it's definitely wonderful experience. Plus he could get a full ride band scholarship. Blessings to you both.
💪🏾HBCU support is wonderful and I'm glad to hear that you are doing this for him... 😁if you have been showing him videos of colleges... If you don't mind sharing I'd like to know so far which ones have caught his attention.... "Oh I like the way they sound or I like the way they look I could see myself being with them"..... Just curious......lol
I think everyone done ✅💯💯💯💯 Great job 👍. Black people we make history every day 🙏😇🙏. When one win we all win. Bands keep up the good work. Houston TX 💜💜💜
✨✨✨I WOULD SAY IT’S Between JACKSON STATE and SOUTHERN FOR #1. Neither one my school but oh my goodness- they are hard to beat
I agree
TSU didn’t even make the list, so there’s that
Where is TSU, Tennessee State University? We should have been on this list. I really enjoyed the video because it made me so proud of all the students getting great educations and being part of something that will last their entire lives while building their future legacies. Congratulations to all HBCUs!!❤❤
Tennessee State should absolutely be on this list!
Facts
Agree
Right who wrote this list
Absolutely!!!!
This list is bullshyt.
Norfolk does sound amazing though!
If you listen to just the accolades Southern university marching band should be ranked in the Top 3 at least!
6 Superbowls, 3 Presidential appearances, was invited to the Global Battle of the Bands. The announcer couldn't even list them all!
💙💛💙💛
Wait, SU ranked at number 9, Tuskegee is on the list, and Tennessee State isn’t? Who put this list together?
Seriously 🤣
Agreed ...Tuskegee should not be on this list ESPECIALLY higher than SU!
BEHOLD...THE GREEN... AND GOLD!!!
Million Dollar Funk $quad
Tight as usual.
Southern is and always will be #1
Thank You!!!
Always number one!
By that reasoning, every school could be declared #1 by their respective Alum's. This is supposed to be an objective list...not subjective. A&T '92
💙💛💙💛💙💛
PREACH!!!
No way Southern University is a 9! That’s a slap in the face to the integrity of the list 👋🏾out
This was a great video. Professionally done. I like the categories for ranking the bands. However, I was absolutely appalled and insulted at SU's placing. Aside from power selections when it comes to halftime perdormances, drilling, arrangements, musicianship, trend setting, showcase spotlights such as superbowls, sugar bowls, orange bowls, inargurations, overseas etc. SU is OFTEN IMITATED BUT NEVER DUPLICATED and the best!!! The top bands should be ranked with GSU FAMU and BETHUNE as the top 3. The specific order may vary. But nobody's better than SU and JSU as the top 2 bands. Hands down. No classic battles are bigger, as well known and/or anticipated as the Bayou Classics and the Boombox Classic. These are the top 5 Marching bands in the country and not just the SWAC. And who were the judges? What HBCU did they attend? Tuskegee really? Lol. GTFOH
Exactly 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐯
I agree I was pi** too!
@ Robert Horton 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏EXACTLY !!! Your Commentary is Spot On, no one could've said it better Thank You ! 💯😍😉👍⚜⚜⚜💗💗💗💗
No Tennessee Stare University? Aww come on! TSU VS JSU battle of the bands during the Southern Heritage Classic is legendary!🤦🏾♂️
Hell yeah Now that’s a battle and Memphis be stupid lit
@@og6340 facts
TENNESSEE STATE ALWAYS GET LEFT OUT!!
The SWAC is the best conference period!!
Ahhh, you're talking Football or Bands, or both? That gridiron is a different story. MEAC has never taken a back seat to any HBCU conf on football field or basketball court!
#PERIODT
FACTS 💪🏾💯
Thank you HBCU Marching Bands you evoked by well-being, success, and good fortune. The bands are extremely good, outstanding and their half-time show totally awesome.
Although I am a TSU Alumni....PV should have been on this list. They have one of the BEST bands I know.
Respect💜💛
So do Tx Southern
As a GSU alumni, I’m offended at SU’s position on the countdown.
Exactly
I went to SSU & I'm offended at where they put them
That alone let's you know that this is a garbage 🗑 opinion!!!
As a Tuskegee alum, I'm also offended by SU's position.
Why? This wasn't based off of how loud you can blow. It was based on everything! Just face it.... SU is not that great.
BEHOLD The 💚💛 of Norfolk State University!
The fact that Tennessee State is not top 3 or on the list is crazy. TSU performed at the 2022 Rose Bowl, performed at the White House for former President Obama, halftime at the Lakers' game, and so many other accolades.
Proud to have 2 kids that have marched with Bethune Cookman University!!!!!!!
Hail Wildcats 💯
The Aristocrat of Bands
Performances:
Japan
NFL
Honda Battle
HBCU Classics
Presidential Inaugurations
The Whitehouse Lawn
Rose Bowl Invitation
My wife is a Texas Southern grad 2X and she did not understand how TSU was #10 on this list!!! and Southern #9, really!!!!!!
I actually agree with this... Ocean of Soul IS better than SU in my opinion.
@@MichaelDickensII You know about bands then.
@@MichaelDickensII 🤔😒😒😳😁😁😂😂😂😂
Same I go to Texas southern and Southern definitely should’ve been further up. Honestly even Texas Southern compared to SCSU. Honestly don’t see how Tuskegee and South Carolina State University made the list in my opinion
Tuskegee college 5 stars, the best.Everyone in one beat.💓Yet I love all top ten .They are my favorite 😍
Great job to all HBCU bands!
I just want to know WHO put this list together??!! They really tried The Southern University A&M of Baton Rouge, Louisiana!! 9th place!! GURL DOWN 💛💙💛
SU #9? I'm a former GSU Drum-Major. That's disrespectful. Should be in the top 3 with the World Famed.
They definitely should be ahead of Bethune ...
LOL 😂 don’t worry. The world knows the truth
At first I did not like Southern University because I thought they were bougie. After watching the following video with the crunk Band Director , I am sold on Southern. The sound is crystal clear. th-cam.com/video/XkD6cxpSXxI/w-d-xo.html
@@layparisss AMEN💙💛🎼
It's difficult to rank these when they're all so great 💯
And we all struggling in a way,, but we all move if ONE move,, folk get into who is the best crap to much, and that’s just the game, send some money to what we have a passion for,, and that’s for All schools,, but have fun while being positive.
I totally agree. I feel lists like this creates division.
Nah, not if you know bands. Tuskegee, South Carolina & VSU shouldn’t be on the list. Where’s Prairie View & how the hell is SU #9 and Grambling NOT #1?
@@erickharris7442 jsu #1
PV U KNOW. PVAMU never gets it’s respect. I’ve even seen a list that doesn’t have the BOX on it what other drum 🥁 line is there. Every time PVAMU goes to a showcase or anything we shine ✨
Thank you so much for showcasing my alma mater Texas Southern University Ocean of Soul 🌊
This entire video was beautifully made and produced to showcase these outstanding matching bands ❤️ There’s nothing like a HBCU Marching Band‼️
The inspirational soul of our HBCU Sports is "Our Marching Bands"
The inspirational soul of our HBCUs as an whole is "Our Choirs"
Music Inspires Our Minds, Bodies, Hearts, and Souls. #BLACKemPOWERment
Grambling (💎) is the first HBCU Band I saw in person. I have grown to equally appreciate and respect ALL them. 👏 🌹 🏆
Yes indeed baby
Hated PV AM didn't make the list
My first was Alabama State/Alabama A&M as our family tradition indicates that we participate in Magic City Classic.
This!! I absolutely love it! Thank you for giving us such great journalism. This and all your other videos, exemplify the Black excellence indeed!❤️
This is everything to me, first time experiencing such greatness! HBCUs is where all the vibes at.
"HUMAN JUKEBOX: Must you even say more? Often imitated but never duplicated. It's the #1 Band in College football...PERIOD!
Exactly right!
I turned it off as soon I saw the number. Smh
Exactly
Forgive them Lord, for they do not know!!! Oh well, they better ask the right people!! #TheHumanJukeboxRanksNo1
Southern have the best sound but their drum line is not up to par. Southern drum line is line an high-school. Look at NC a&t, BC and Norfolk St and you cane the difference.
I love all these bands! I am a huge fan of HBCU bands and the majorette teams!
First I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to these very talented and hard working young men and women who are true unsung heroes. In my opinion a lot of people really don’t understand the hard work and dedication these young people go through in order to do the great job in which they do for their team’s halftime show. Once again I will say a big CONGRATULATIONS to all of those seen in this video and to all the other young musicians all over the world beit in Elementary, Junior High, High School or College 👍👍😀😀
Famu and BCU is absolutely the best HBCU bands in America. Glad to be born and raised in Florida!!! 🖤🖤🖤
I'm sadden and thoroughly surprised PVU didn't make the list. I'm believing because they didn't go to battle of the bands this year, they were not given due consideration.🤔🙏🏿🤔
I agree PV should’ve made the cut
@@commoncentz3148 Thanks! You know that did not even cross my mind. The fix was already in! SMDH!😖🤦🏾♀️😖
💜💛🤷🏾♀️🤘🏾
I think PV always get overlooked for some reason...smh
Should have been on this list regardless of if they went to battle if the bands or not.
I said the same thing!
Well I see my school's band Grambling State was in the top 3, but I say Southern should've gotten that #1 spot! But congrats to all the HBCU bands that are and are not on the list! I have much HBCU PRIDE! Grambling grad Class of 2000 (Fall).
GSU isn’t what they use to be unfortunately.
@@raebanks9268 true! But the band is improving! It takes a little time! 😀
I think Grambling!!
UMMMMM….. I was waiting for TTT SSS U. Tennessee, ah Tennessee State!
Yes! Grammy Award winning T S U!!!
But much love who made the list!!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
They are all amazing. I am so proud of all our black queens and kings. They are all so talented. Being a Florida girl I must say that I am most proud that Famu and BCC came in 1st and 2nd place. Florida in the house. Yasss
NSU Alumni. Behold the Green & Gold! 💚💛💚💛. Much love to all the HBCU’s.
A&T alum. Yeah, NSU has been a considerable opponent of A&T in the BOTB for years. Massive band too! Props!
My HBCU always number 1, we put the BCU In HBCU ✊🏿💪🏿 Shout out to Mary who originally founded Cookman for Black women with only a $1.25…. Talk about Legend’s and being legendary 🙌🏿… Y’all could’ve picked a better song than 400 Degrees lol
Yayyyy.... #HailWildcats ✊🏾 ❤
Hail Wildcats!!
LOL...that's what I said about A&T! Much better music in their repertoire than Gin and Juice.
#HailWildcats! Congratulations to all the HBCU Bands. We all rock!
Hail Wildcats💯🔥
Wow! Norfolk sounds amazing!
When I first came to the UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 in 90s, I started to watch HBCU bands. It was amazingly nice. Used to watch it on NBC and ABC. Ladies were natural. No wig hair and skinner. HBCU should bring it back on the national TV 📺 😀 🙄
I agree embrace our ethnicity proudly dont emulate eurocentric standards of beauty
There is no way on God's green earth that Southern University should be number 9 we are definitely number one
Top 3 for sure
Don’t even mention the Dolls, nothing
I totally agree!!!
lmao no yall aint #4 behind #3GSU they got it right BCU & FAMU! PERIOD #1
Not number 1 but top 5
Being a Grambling alumni, the best hbcu bands are in the SWAC.
Lies!
FACTS!!! I'm a JSU alumna!
Or to me, the Best Bands that make me Groove are in the HBCU,,, but I’m 60 something, and marched, but I understand those that love the vocal combat competition , cause we did it bk then also, as long as we all are moving forward for me it’s all us against the world. And we look good doing it.
More lies
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
Come on Out Florida!!!!!❤🎉Thank you for the history and Soulful Vibrations
As an HBCU BAND ALUM, this list is sooooo totally INCORRECT! I luv my Black Institutions, but there's no waaaaay Tuskegee should be on this list, Tennessee State was left out and the fact that Jackson State nor Southern were in the top 3 is unacceptable especially when most bands pattern themselves after them and damn near every high school around the country imitates or attempts to play JSU's songs and cadences! When looking at bands, you have to look for musicality, tone, pregame, halftime and not just dancing, the 5th Quater and most of all......"SOUND"! The J-SETTES alone set the bar for dancers! Bethune Cookman should not have been in the no.1 slot! Next time.....Come down South and then go the other directions and when your finished....this list will be different
Girl how the lady hit you with facts you JSU PPL are really delusional on ALL platforms 🤣 .
AMEN and AMEN. Everything you just said is absolutely correct! I love all HBCU's but Tuskegee is on the list and not AL State or TN State...where ma'am did you get your facts from? The SWAC has the best bands ever!
@andrea snell Thank you so much for the awesome compliment on The Boom and the J-Settes!!! We thank you!

@@tiffany1517 💯💯
Bethune Cookman is exceptional!
I'm surprised Alabama State, Alabama A&M, and/or Miles College didn't make the list. They are excellent HBCU bands in Alabama. I do love this list though. Tuskegee is not the only lit band in Alabama. Lol. We have plenty.
Facts 💪 they don't know !!!
Yvette Cain yes I'm a fan of all the band's you mentioned as well. At the very least AAMU should have made the list. They have a very clean sound.

What Alabama state gonna do on this list?
@@polisciman 🤔🤣🤣🤣
well said like how Sway lol
Living in predominant white state in the northwest of United States, iam happy to view all the HBCs marching bands. It gives me pride to watch our brothers and sisters perform exceptional well during their performances. So to me they're all number ones.
WOW, the FAMU dancing Sousaphones! The dance moves carrying 40 lbs. of brass are awesome!!
Southern at #9?? I had to stop the vid right there 😂😂
And I'm a TnSU an I was even offended by that lol
@@kalebwilliams8731 lol Right!! This entire list can be thrown away. 😂😂
Lol
😂😂
I did the same- no credibility at that point!
This had to be comprised by someone who’s NEEEEVER been to a SWAC game in person and who doesn’ understand SWAC band rivalries. How does Grambling rank higher than Southern when you’ve used a 2019 video to rank them #3? Someone needs to invite Black Excellist to BoomBOX classic or Bayou Classic BOTB ASAP .
Google told Black Excellence wrong on this one 🤣😂🙄. SU should've been in the top 5. And they missed ASU and Alcorn!
@@yolandaosborne1848 That’s what I said! In my book, SU is #1 and JSU is #2. All other bands are far far behind. But, even if you don’t rank SU #1, they should at the very least be top 3! I think that’s fair.
Everyone don’t necessarily like the same things. You still have to recognize excellence!
So now a person opinion can't be based on what they think but what someone else thinks, if you think your band should be number one that's your opinion. You can make up someone else mine. If they came and saw all the bands in person they're still entitled to their own opinion.
Absolutely amazing bands and dancers with great talent, they should all be so proud of themselves. I have great respect for these youngsters! To me they are all number 1!
Alabama State University Mighty Marching Hornets over Tuskegee any day!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Hail WILDCATS 💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯
The best, and thanks for the vote, even tho we're hated, we may have some boring shows but we don't never let up on sound, performance and as a whole. We are nationally known.
Yeah because you been playing same stuff for 30 years it better sound good
The Hate....
Pure hate.
It's it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Why fix something that put us at number 1, damn near every year and stay in the talks of best band 🤔
Hail Wildcats 💪🏾💪🏾💯
@@kidd5952 talk of what bands you talking to a band guy fr not a fan bcu aint got no book when y'all run Into the real bands y'all get ran out the stands man, su, jsu, tsu ncat, jsu murdered y'all, the band has great numbers yearly but stuck in place
All HCBU should have been recognized in some way.
I'm from Florida and FamU has always taken over the show.
Amen same here 🐍
As a Tuskegee University and MCP Alumna I’m thrilled to see them on this list. I also knew that the song shown would be “Ball and Parlay”. I also would like to note that I’ve been to many different colleges and universities for their homecomings, and TU’s homecoming is by far the best one to attend. I’m not just saying that because that’s my Alma Mater either. If you know, you know. 🐯❤️💛
The fans singing along with the Tuskegee band in this video are having more fun in 5 minutes than I had in my entire 4 years of college 😂 Incredible to see the band and the fans together like this!
I absolutely LOVE "Ball and Parlay"
The fact that SU is #9 is completely ludicrous!! The Human Jukebox will rank supreme always. No other HBCU, PWI or anything else can compare...often imitated but never duplicated!! #SUJag4Life
WTF!!!!! WHO WERE THESE DAMN JUDGES?????? THE HUMAN JUKEBOX DEFINATELY SHOULD HAVE BEEN #1!!!!!
EVERYBODY KNOW Morris Brown Is Eternally The Best that Ever Did it ! 😉
Agreed lol.
Facts...I'm Jackson State University alum and I appreciate the great brass SU has that no band could compare to.💯 STL up
Bruh all SU do is blow loud and blast. And they Haze. Why would they be number 1# if that’s all they do?
Yes....#HailWildcats #ThePride #BCU #MYHBCU 🥇 Congratulations Everybody ♥️
Let's Gooooooo!!! #wildcats
The nostalgia I received from this was needed! So much talented in this video and at several HBCUs.
Man that "Ball and Parlay" by Tuskegee gave me goose bumps...
Real Talk
That's my Alma Mater and man miss those Homecomings during undergrad
Nothing like the Tuskegee Experience....
❤💛❤💛
Gave me goose bumps as well. Reminded me of the late 70s early 80s being at the softball fields for games and tournaments
I Love all of my HBCU'S but hands down SU Human Jukebox should have been #1
Can’t agree it should go by halftime show
Keep dreaming
@@terryharris367 but it’s facts u like who u marched with if u marched at all famu is top notch regardless
This is hilarious! I can't wait for this post to get jumping! 😂😭🤣
All these bands are tremendous but I can't believe Tennessee state is not listed and southern is number nine in Jackson state is number five
First of all, I love this list and I appreciate the work that it took to put it together. My question is why isn't Tennessee State University THE Aristocrat of bands not on this list? It's all love just saying.
don't apologize none of these bands are better than TSU AOB. AOB has the history performances and all that and for them to be omitted is a flat out JOKE
They were snubbed
I cant believe TSU AOB didn't make the list! But I know this was hard to do.
That’s exactly who I was looking for TSU! They done got Grammys and everything, Why are they not on the list😆
Florida representing 1 & 2
WHAT... PVAMU isn't on the list ?!
But this is still a really good video ! 💯👍🏿
Agreed, the PVAMU disrespect is mindboggling. I was just replying as such when I saw your post.
Probably the old PV not this generation what’s there now suck
@@drich4665 even the new PVAMU band put all the one's listed to shame, but hey we don't need validation from others, we give it to ourselves. Something inside so strong. PVU, we know. Rep "The Hill". Shout-out to those beautiful "Black Foxes" RIH Prof.
❤️Love This!! The Presentation Was🔥 All Top 10 was AMAZING!! KEEP ON POUNDING OUT THESE AMAZING BANDS Videos!!! 👏 ✨️
Old Book and We Still #1.... BCC BCU Marching WildCats.... We Love You Mr. P........
