As we complete our encore to "The Travel Season," The Marching Force takes a trip to Wakanda to celebrate Black excellence and not just the American Dream, but the Wakandan Dream. We feature music by Ludwig Göransson, Christopher Williams, Eurythmics, DeBarge, Blackstreet, Meek Mill, Migos, Nelly, and Juice Wrld (R.I.P.).
As always, The Force is looking for new members. Head to www.humarchingforce.com to find out more info on scholarships and auditions. In addition, we are also looking to raise supplementary funds through our Marching to Millions campaign. Check out www.SupportTheMarchingForce.com to see all the great things we are doing, and support us as we travel to the Macy's 2020 Parade. Thank you for all your support along our journey!

Norfolk had a nice ride as the best band in Virginia. But that’s it. Musically they don’t have the director to compete with Thomas Jones.

Hampton had a great season but let’s pump the breaks. Norfolk has a resume of musical tradition that spands decades among the elites... lets see where this stint goes going forward for the force before we start making these kind of comments.

@jamesholthoff3423 4 жыл бұрын

Unless Paul Adams or Sanford makes a return it’s over. The 2019 legion was about the same size as 2010 and musically not even close. Some times theirs just a shift. Norfolk is not that band anymore their shows lack substance and creativity, Hampton has closed the gap way too fast. Norfolk does not travel, you can’t bring kids there with them knowing they are going to go anywhere all season. Norfolk seems like they practice all year for a&t now

I like the use of the Wakandan spears (by Ebony Fire) as part of the show. This is really very African. I love it! Hats off to Dr. Thomas Jones, band director. Actually, I am an A&T alumnus, so double hats off to you since you were formerly one of the band directors at A&T. Regarding the use of spears, I hope that Hampton uses this more and that other HBCUs (particularly A&T) begin its use as a way to preserve and honor our African/Bantu heritage in a unique and regal way and display.

Dr. Jones, I am so happy you are at Hampton, our Home by the Sea!!! I was sad to see you leave A&T, my other favorite HBCU, but I knew you would inevitably end up at our alma mater!!! The Force is doing great things! That show was wonderfully executed and well thought out. Seeing the initial footage from other perspectives, I didn’t hear the narration or see the full intro to the performance. It totally makes sense after seeing this production. Thank you for that and Thanks for paying homage to Hampton’s history, while incorporating the theme with Wakanda. Very creative. AWESOME JOB!!!

Sheeshhhhh as a Spartan legion fan. I will say this. We need to get our ish together or Hampton is gonna be that band around here. The legion is going in the wrong direction. This show is revolutionary. Nsu shows have become so predictable. Drill. Dancer song. Dance routine. “Sideline blowdown” you can tell there are too many “thinkers” in the room over there anymore. Looks lazy. Hampton show required some thought. If The band director at nsu doesn’t want to do it anymore just leave bro. You making us look silly compared to this

@trumpfolife 4 жыл бұрын

Spartan Mania, NSU doesn’t sound bad and is very much a great band. They have a strong foundation and they always have great energy, a solid show, and a solid sound regardless of size. Yes, they do have a template for their field shows but all bands do. Let’s not forget that this is a Honda show where creativity is a must. Where is your loyalty? Yes Hampton did an amazing Job and their Director is my former arranger and was like the assistant director of my high school band; The Brooklyn Steppers. He is extremely creative. After reading your post I must say it is pretty disappointing seeing that you are a Spartan. #DizzyForLife

@Hampton86 4 жыл бұрын

@@trumpfolife but Spartan Mania, while I'm sure will never waver as a Legion, he is correct. All of the Force's shows have been creative, not just for the HBOTB. This is the direction Dr. Jones is taking the Force. As a member of the original Force, I like where the program is going.

Lmao that comment about Norfolk’s band director not answering phone calls is hilarious. Must be why they didn’t travel outside of their own city the entire year. #HUMF proud that our director backs down from no one. It’s funny because Norfolk’s band is a reflection of their director and they’ve gotten SOFT
