No matter what school you march for . This is a win for all HBCU bands making history🔥🔥

First HBCU band to lead the annual parade. Excellence, beauty, and melanin. What a beautiful representation!

So proud of these Men and women representing our community and the state of Alabama!❤❤

This is a moment for all HBCUs. Way to go AAMU for making history. Y’all looked amazing and represented very well.

I am one proud grandmother ! My grandson is one of the drum majors ! Way to kick it xander !

AAMU starting off a Thanksgiving parade with "Backstabbers" was Epic. Lets Commemorate you Colonizers Backstabbing the natives after you just sat and feasted with them. That might have went over some people head. Great Job!!!!❤❤❤

I marched with tenn.State University, but it’s always nice to see an HBCUrepresenting the community well. Great Job AA&MU!!!

The order, discipline and unity. Outstanding job Alabama!

The Alumni of AA&M and all HBCUs are so proud of the Mighty Marching Maroon and White as they led the way. What an elegant and professional performance at The Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade. HBCU STRONG FOREVER ❤!!!

I cannot stop smiling. I'm so proud of our band members and staff. They represented the university, Alabama, and HBCUs with nothing but class.

Those young people did that! They were beaming with pride. That is a hard parade route to do. The best in the land. No one can top that! and they were leading the parade! How awesome. You all looked great, sounded great and showed Black excellence! Congrats to the band leader, admin, parents and entire band and everyone who participated, as well as those behind the scenes who made sure they got there and were looking good. Shout out to The Drum Majors and The Divas, y'all showed up and showed out. I am beaming with tears. So proud of this HBCU for representing all of us. Love From me, a Howard Uni. Alum. Thank you all for making my Thanksgiving extra special.

We saw this band @ 67th Central Park side. They are phenomenal! Found them again on YT & can’t Stop watching. What a surprise to see a well coordinated group of young people performing at such a high level. Bravo!

As an alum of your sister HBCU in Huntsville (Oakwood) and a Huntsville native, I am immensely proud of AAMU! This was beautiful! Absolute perfection!

We are a huge AAMU Alumni family and planned our Redrick family reunion in NY so that we could watch the parade in person...18 of us were in full effect on 47th and 6th Ave to watch the Marching Maroon and White make history as the 1st HBCU to lead off the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was amazing we all were beaming with HBCU Pride. #Morehouse #Spelman #Howard #Tuskegee #Hampton

Shared a tear watching this. They are AMAZING

As a band head through n through this is amazing and emotional at the same time cuz WHAT??? an HBCU LEADING the biggest thanksgiving tradition there is😢😢❤❤❤

Wow!! That looks like one hell of a workout at a fast pace with such movements. What stamina that takes to do that blowing on those instruments as well. That’s a difficult position to be the lead band of the entire parade setting such a frantic pace. Job well done Alabama A & M University Band!

Bama A & M I’m from The Bronx NY and now living in FL. I watched you all and wished I was there to witness in person such classy your men and women lead off the Macy Parade. All my 58 years never seeing such beauty start off that event. Thank you for representing and making proud.

I woke up early to make sure I watched them. I graduated from SCSU but I’ll always support HBCU’s doing great things.

2023 Macy's Parade was tops. HBCU bands are so amazing to watch. Best Parade ever.

So proud of my AAMU … you guys represented the university very well! As well as the state of Alabama and all HBCUs in the country…. Way to set the bar. I’m always proud to be a bulldog!!… but this gave me chills! Soooo proud of MMW

So proud of these young men and women! They represented their University, and their city of Huntsville, Alabama, with class and excellence! We have great college bands in this state. I'm so glad to see the A&M Marching Maroon and White get the recognition they deserve! Well done and Go Bulldogs!

So proud of each and everyone of you!!!! Y'all did that Alabama A&M💗💗💗

Thanks KillaKev Productions! You're much appreciated by AAMU and its alums!!! Go Bulldogs!!!

Wow!!! Amazing to see an HBCU lead this parade they looked and sound excellent. It’s nothing like an HBCU. Shoutout to u to Kev for capturing the footage. Hope this gains you more followers. You set the standard for covering Show style marching bands and your platform is elevating to do more in the future it’s in the atmosphere for you. AEA!

When I tell YOU - I was SOOOOOOO -- PROUD of these young people --- Y'ALL gave 1000% and showed the world what BLACK EXCELLENCE looks like. I cried with tears of joy through the WHOLE video. I wish ALLLLL of GOD's BLESSING over EVERYONE involved. ❤❤❤❤

So, so proud of these young people. Scholar musicians doing it - and starting off with Backstabbers, LOL Thank you for representing excellence!

This made me cry, I’m so proud of all of them♥️🫶🏾

Alabama A&M, you represented with EXCELLENCE!!!! I was so proud of each of you, especially my nephew on cymbals! As an alumni and also having been a band member back in the early 80’s, it was heartwarming to witness this moment. I was up at 5:30am California time and it was worth every moment! Which reminds me, I am from Forkland AL, A&M’s placement office assisted me in finding a co-op/intern position in 1982, graduated in 1984, they offered me a permanent position and I’ve been in California every since!! I thank this amazing institution for affording me such a wonderful opportunity and an awesome life style!

The band sounds and looks amazing! What a way to represent AAMU and HBCU’s! Special thanks to Killa Kev Productions for capturing this historic moment and for always providing high quality footage! AEA Brother! #KappaKappa

Sweet thanks for getting the whole parade

Way to represent your University and HBCUs! ❤ From a proud FAMU grad!

So proud of AAMU and Huntsville! Love from Detroit ❤❤

So proud of Alabama A&M for making history, doing it with class and sounding so good while doing it! #MyAAMU

I can’t stop watching my MMMW! My heart is filled with joy and so very proud of you Bulldogs! You represented our school and state very well. You looked and sounded great (as you always do). Have a safe trip home and if I didn’t live so far away, I’d be there to welcome you home.

There are no words to witness this moment. I marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade back in 06 and to see history repeat itself is simply AMAZING

Alabama A,&M University were awesome in the Macy's Day Parade they represented Alabama well, and our HBCU'S 2023.

Wow, what an awesome performance! I was so proud of Alabama A&M! Don't know if you heard, but on Monday, 11-27, Sherri Shepherd complimented the band on her show on NBC! She watched the parade and was really impressed with Alabama A&M! In fact, we all are! Great work!
