yea....a yt at a traditional black school that our ancestors fought with their lives to maintain; some lynched and you clap for this yt....ignorance at its finest.
He shouldn’t have gone to this school. He is wasting his talent. I don’t think he will ever be allowed to shine here. They seem to only want the stingettes noticed. And they aren’t the same since Bri left. No one can match her class and smooth moves.
Justin knew exactly what he was signing up for as a member of the Marching Hornets. He knew that he would not be copying JSU at ASU. He knew how Dr. Oliver ran his program. He opted for something different because learning new skills and discipline is how you get ahead in this world. As he has said before, "When you fit in, you disappear." He's still winning and he gets to perform excellent field shows with the HoneyBeez, too. This is a learnable moment in time.
nah, ASU was the hot band 3- 4 years ago. !! a ton of high schooler watched and copied them and before that it was SU and before that it was JSU. That conference rotates popularity who knows what high school bands are watching in 2023? East coast: its NCAT, BSU/FAMU in Florida etc etc. High schoolers idolized college students
I'm happy to see Justin aka vanilla funk achieved his dream. I stumbled upon a video of him the went viral when he was still in high school drum major. Now he is a part of my all time favorite ASU Marching band. All the best to ya'll!
The fact that the band has to form a shield around the stingettes is just mind blowing to me. I'm glad they protect them though but they shouldn't have to. And I am an HBCU grad from the south so I know how people act.
Agree - I hate that it's likely necessary, but loved when the band started bordering the stingettes and protecting their own. THAT move is classy. May need to do the same for the honeybees! 💛🖤💛🖤💛
The ladies are amazing, they’ve got the guys out front but they know they’re the real attraction. So composed and professional in their demeanour, yet slinky and busting out the moves in great synchronisity. It’s a win to the ladies.
Respect to all . However, when you see someone o a different race , creed ,color ,even gender at times - you know they worked their but off for what ever
@@brooklynmag821 if you mean they worked their butts off by stealing what they need and abandoning their kids after they got one of thier "bitches" pregnant, then yes
Thank Thank Thank Alabama State University Black Marching Band, You all have it going on, I'm so proud of my black brothers and Black Sistas, Thank you again for that marching entertainments that you all do, I Love Every bit of it, Keep Up The Good Work......
My favorite marching band. The beat and moves are awesome. The ladies are just too fine. Makes you want to marry all of them. Such a great band and obviously they have a great bandleader. Kudos all on being so good.
Wow, that was impressive marching. So much energy! We don't got nuthin like that in Canada. They don't got nuthin like that anywhere but the U.S. of A. Seriously, some of your US university bands, like this one, are just totally amazing. That was a spectacle, the amount of work and coordination.
@@NinerEmpire5x Actually, they're college students. They attend classes, successfully complete homework, and, yes, many of them have jobs. They don't eat & live for free. Band is an extracurricular activity. They don't get a paycheck for band.
Shades of beautiful Black people everywhere displaying their Black pride, heritage and excellence. I wish more of people and youth, especially could see this. We are the original Kings and Queens. Stop believing the Lie. Im glad these young men and women are woke. Thats we need our HBCU's ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Shades of black is beautiful. I a dark skin pretty black female. I can relate to all of this. When I was in college in was a cheerleader. Best dress female, Miss cover girl. Miss Delta Sigma Theta, Miss Junior, Miss Senior and did modeling etc. A black guy sporoach me one day in college and stated. I like you but he only dated light skin females. I stated to the young man evidently you like something about me to state your concerns. I stated to him, I love me. Do you love yourself. We became the best of friends. I let him know you don't intimidate we about my skin color. I love my dark skim and proud of it. Love you comment.
Bro when are folks gonna learn that they need to MOOOOOVE TF OUT THE WAY. . Shit gets annoying every damn March out. They go overboard trying to overcrowd the Stingettes 🙄🙄🙄
I can't say nothing i don't pay to go to there school i watch it for the low low price of my monthly phone plan. If it was a big problem then they wouldn't do this they don't going to wear those kids are going to crowd them the hype is what keeps them in business at the end of the day those kids go to that school in the future kids are going to want to go to that school and that's more money in their pocket it would be idiotic to treat them like they can't be around and be prideful for their group it's no more than when grown ups who don't pay nothing but a baseball ticket ransack a whole city because they won the world series and he's a grown ups and some of them may not even be from the city that ransacking I'm just saying in this day and age life is so short you can die from a cough these people are celebrating the way they've always celebrated if it was a rule that they weren't supposed to be all up in those people faces there would have been other ways of them being able to do the March out but it's tradition they're fine with it so that's why they made the formation to do a human barricade.
I love seeing these HBCU bands and cheerleaders, I think they should be featured more in conscious way maybe in music or some type of feature because the talent is obvious and this is a commodity thats not seen everyday!!
One of my favorite bands. That unique style, it's like a slow groove. Live the cadences, the stingettes, the honey bees, just impeccable. Dr. Oliver, great job. I am an OG from the late seventies early eighties from Bethune-Cookman. Your fan base is unbelievable. Very supportive. Well done.
I love that NutCracker-like move with the arms and legs coming up at 90°. Back in the day with my HS band we were not NEARLY this in-shape! The drum majors especially have a SERIOUS levels of fitness!!
@@savoir777faire I think his high school band teacher had the drum majors emulating JSU's style. Those cute little jump kicks and "the sky" are some of the JSU signature moves. 🙂
The actual March out starts at 5:56 One thing about the southern Colleges is they don't Play around with thier Marching Bands.. the bands are ALWAYS on POINT.. the shows they put on be works of Art..
Iam from Montgomery Al. My mother work for ASU for 36 years . My sister would take me and twin Brother to watch the marching Hornets practice this drum cadance has been the same ASU is all about tradition. Twin. YO Nupe!!!!
Narrator for the Honeybeez is my hero, lol. They bring the FIRE and I wish they were up front, but then again, those ladies give a hell of a finale. Admin, can we get a link to their Insta in the video description, pretty please?
OMG, I love the love he showed them. The HBs are awesome. They are beautiful and confident. I get so stoked watching them. I love the Stingettes, but it's something so extra sweet about them HBs!
Drumline. There are a few reality shows with them too. One of them featured ASU called "Bama State Style." The others are "March" and Marching Orders."
Good to see Vanilla Funk is hanging in there.
yea....a yt at a traditional black school that our ancestors fought with their lives to maintain; some lynched and you clap for this yt....ignorance at its finest.
So very nice to see a posting with Vanilla Funk.
If I was President, I would have an HBCU band and crew precede my entrance and exit to all official engagements.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You've gotta respect a disciplined and cohesive group of talented people like this! Beautiful men and women.
I love watching Black American marching bands. The beat, the dancing, the music. Nothing else like it
So students from other races simply can’t join?
No sheeeeit!
Vanilla Funk still hanging in there. Admire his determination. I know this is modern day dance, the old school presentation was better for me.
He went to the wrong program imo, but to each its own.
From what I read, Vanilla Funk modeled his routine after JSU Sonic Boom DMs, too bad he didn't go to JSU.
I agree. ASU drum majors are too boring for him. JSU is a better fit.
He shouldn’t have gone to this school. He is wasting his talent. I don’t think he will ever be allowed to shine here. They seem to only want the stingettes noticed. And they aren’t the same since Bri left. No one can match her class and smooth moves.
That’s the Jefferson Davis kid?! That’s sad he has to much fire for this boring stuff. Hope they gave him a full ride at least

Was thinking how disrespectful some of the spectators are walking between the band as they walk out
Agree - I hate that it's likely necessary, but loved when the band started bordering the stingettes and protecting their own. THAT move is classy. May need to do the same for the honeybees! 💛🖤💛🖤💛
It's looks like they mainly did it for crowd control. They kept trying to get them to get on the sidewalk.
BAMA State always look so presentable and classy and in uniform from the directors on down💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤great job STATE.. 🐝
FACTZ‼️ I AM SUCH A FAN OF ASU!
Facts! I was just wondering where they stole their uniforms from.
I'm from South Africa and I enjoy watching these videos, thanks 🎉

Precision, power & Grace all combined flawlessly….
Drummajors on point!
they didn't do anything but march.
@@orangemoonglows2692 Precisely what the man said they were on point😅
They make it look easy that you tend to overlook what they’re doing
@@orangemoonglows2692 Requires certain amount of athleticism. Try synchronized cadence. Quite difficult.
Major respect for All the members of this Marching Band

AWESOME STEPS& SOUND🎉 former VSU FLAG BEARER, Shawneequa, shout out to my Nephews ❤
This is awesome to see all this beautiful young people doing something great and the band is HUGE great energy !!

Do you have to be a beautiful princess to be accepted into this band? The woman up front and back are all STUNNING!!!
Just need to learn the dances and keep a certain grade point average.
I see beautiful Black women everywhere everyday. They are highlighted in this venue. It's a norm.
@@violathigpen3865 True
Apparently that’s all you need to do because I didn’t hear any music and barely a beat in the background.
@@jlloyd2004mcs I believe they were marching OUT.

Maybe they should put up barriers along the route like they do for parades.
The formation protects them tho... that shit is so cool

I'm just saying in this day and age life is so short you can die from a cough these people are celebrating the way they've always celebrated if it was a rule that they weren't supposed to be all up in those people faces there would have been other ways of them being able to do the March out but it's tradition they're fine with it so that's why they made the formation to do a human barricade.

Alabama State/Is the best👌 👍 😍 Black & Gold they ain't no joke!!
Vanilla Funk really does need a fan page. Keeping up with him and the band would be awesome.
Sincerely, a former band kid
Agree ! He needs a fan page
Why single him out, he's not doing anything different from the other 4 drum majors
The same reason Obama is singled out. As a symbol of anything can be achieved
What is it exactly that he does 🤔🤔
@@leepo007 Thank You!
Very no nonsense drum majors at Alabama State.
It is good to hear that drum corp. There is nothing that gets us energized like those drums for sure!
Salute all HBCU'S
