Seeing the show live was unbelievable. The sound, precision, pageantry and blended marching style was on point. Well deserved BGMM & Golden Delight. Old School Bandhead

Lawd!!! Every single time I get to that Hate me Now part and they start rocking and then end with the A&T formation!!!!!??? MAN! I cry real tears. So proud of the BGMM. #ProudParent

I like that cold steel switched their drums and heads

Edited: Deacon Aloysius Jerome Campbell!!!!! 😅Amazing arrangement for Killing Me Softly! Great show overall!!!

The B&GMM understood the assignment! From beginning to end this show had EVERYTHING and was executed to perfection. As far as I'm concerned they could have marched off the field after "Killing Me Softly" and still won. The arrangement was everything and the use of auxiliary throughout adds so much to the visual performance. Outstanding sound, beautiful arrangements and not a single wasted moment. This was an excellent performance by A&T! From Norfolk with much love and respect...congratulations Aggies! Looking forward to your Rose Bowl appearance.

And the official WINNER BOTY 🏆 is the BGMM ❤❤❤❤❤

My son is in this band he plays tenor drum and I’m one proud mom!! This has brought tears to my eyes😊Let’s go BGMM!!! Cold Steel💙💛💙💛🔥🔥🔥

I can’t be mad. Flawless show from top to bottom. Good job.

Got chills on that Killing Me Softly 💯💯🔥🔥🔥

🔥🔥🔥Kangs of the fieldshow!! !!

They will be in the Rose Bowl Parade and that’s an honor!!!!!

And this is why they are 2023 band of the year champions 🏆 🥇. A&T know how to perform for an adjudicated system. And fieldshows period. They will always have the field advantage! From Golden Delight alone, who displays a very good visual throughout. Cold Steel is just too raw. Great show A&T!

Get it yallllllll....sounding great

Congratulations to this PHENOMENAL Band for Winning ESPN HBCU BAND OF THE YEAR!!!!!! #AggiesDo

A WELL deserved win!

I was actually there😨😨it was great tbhhh

I love GD. Definitely the hardest working auxiliary group of college bands.

A&T just gets it they know how to put on an actual show!!! The auxiliary is definitely their secret weapon and has been for years tbh!!!!!

Sooo much talent in one place is crazy!!!!

A&T was 🔥 🔥🔥… best field hands down !!! And even put up a fight in the damn stands!!!

They won Band of the Year!!!! 🔥🔥🔥💙💛💙💛

This show ATE do u hear me??? It's the fact that they walked off the field hype because they know they left no crumbs. GD with the costume change, these Queens never disappoint when it comes to presence and performance. 💙💛💙💛 Great representation of North Carolina

Jsette fan here! Yall have some amazing dancers. So talented.

A&T did that🔥🔥🔥🔥. Golden Delight is a beast!

Of course we knew the BGMM was gonna take that trophy. Fair and square! Great job Aggies 👏

NCAT never disappoints when they are on that field! Everything was spot on. Musically & Visually. GD is unmatched!!! Great job BGMM 👏

Nobody can touch NCAT on the field! We knew they were going to win when it was first announced! Especially in Atlanta. The crowd reaction said it all. The one thing that is hard to beat with NCAT. Is GOLDEN DELIGHT! A full auxiliary that creates visuals throughout the show! Congratulations for Band Of The Year🎉🎉🎉

Wow, i just love A&T band! Can't wait to see them when they come to Pasadena in a few weeks! Definitely deserving of band of the year! The Golden Delight ladles are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations A&T. For band of the year🎉. Golden Delight looked amazing 😊.

Im ngl after watching this show y’all deserved the win

Best show of the night!

Excellent field show ... Hands 👇🏾 🔟🔟🔟

Great performance Kenny Ruff Aggie Pride

Great show!! Congrats from The ROAR!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

It was a "no brainer" that A&T was going to walk away with the win! They don't put on fieldshows. It's productions!!!!

I'm ecstatic!!! You guys are absolutely amazing

Still looking at this great show!!!

Man NCAT definitely had the better show! Hands down, this is their niche. From the musicality, auxiliary, & general effect was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Cold Steel is just that! Great show A&T

The musicians are awesome. The marching precision and dance routines are par excellence.

This was an excellent show from you, BGMM. The repertoire was outstanding, your formations were crisp, Golden Delight was Golden Delight, and the transitions were seamless. The highlight of the show for me was "Killing Me Softly", that arrangement was a FIVE STAR arrangement, musicality was dripping from every measure and those key changes were strong and seamless themselves. Excellent job, A&T!!!

Now that was a SHOW!!!!!! Congratulations NCAT🎉

I gotta give the field show to A&T

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 emotional ❤

Definitely the best fieldshow there is! Congratulations Aggies

Yall did that. Everybody was on point. Myles pops is very proud of you. Aggie Pride nation. Salute 🫡

Chef's kiss A&T Chef's kiss!!!

Congratulations BGMM on a stellar show AND BAND OF THE YEAR!!! Comes to no surprise, that you guys were going to own the field and the dome! Bring that 🏆 and $100k home!

The best HBCU fieldshow there is! NCAT owns the field. I absolutely love them for their creativity and Golden Delight is in a league by themselves! Congratulations to the Aggies👍

I am still speechless!! There are no words for how TREMENDOUS this show was! I am such a PROUD BGMM mom!! Mama and dad love you Garvin Collins!!! Entire show straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah....that was a good show. 👍

Um yeah. NCAT tore this up! Not even up for discussion!!!!

Their sound is clean and I hear musicianship

Job well done BGMM 👏 ✔️ 👍. Very deserving of that ESPN band of the year trophy! You guys understand the assignment everytime! #AGGIEPRIDE #AGGIESDO

Yeah boy....we got that!!!!👍😎👊🏾

Dang, they tore it up

Amazing show !!!!!!!

Great show to top off a great year - way to bring the 1st boty trophy to G’boro. 🏆

Congratulations 🎉 AGGIE PRIDE.

NC HBCU ❤ The ending alone won the competition!!

The #1 HBCU band in the country!! 🎉🎉🎉

Wooo they killed that wow that’s a lot a wrk congrats to all involved keeping this band a success I make it Frm Mich at least one or twice a yr to watch em never a dull moment Congratulations Aggie Pride!!

N C A& T State Marching Machine & The Golden Delights Excellent & Perfect No#1

Congratulations 👏🎉

The balance, harmony, key changes, overall musicality, and field show versatility is why they won. Other bands have musicians but don't understand how to be a cohesive marching band.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR BAND OF THE YEAR AGGIES 🏆. This was a phenomenal show. From start to finish. Golden Delight and Cold Steel 😩😩😩😩😩

Killing Me Softly As A Concert Selection caught me off guard but sounded amazing. Great Sound and Show for sure

I’m sorry but…A&T won band of the year as soon as the drum major intro started, WOW!! Not surprised though cus I already knew y’all was bout to show out!! Great job and congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Okay so I had to come back and say something about Golden Delight because once again, WOW!!! Ladies y’all did the damn thang!!! 🙌🏽

Dynamic and Beautiful show BGMM. Continue to be what you have always been a Musical Class Act. ❤❤❤

Love it. Glad to know my son is part of this band. You guys sound awesome...

Awesome show 🔥 ‼️

Outstanding. So proud of these young people.

Yea they played the hell outta this... Of course they won that over Jackson st... The sound precision stamina the formation etc was all on point

FIYAH 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My Godchild plays the clarinet Nylan Yancey

If I had to base BOTY on this performance alone, NCAT confirmed it. And I've seen many HBCU band performances this season, especially SWAC. Job well done! 👏🏽👏🏽

I love the rendition of killing me softly! I love hbcu bands!!!

I said during the homecoming performance to never take the Mad show to Pasadena, but this one takes it. Full, sound nice, clean and Aggie Pride. Thats why you're number 1. Go represent A&T, Greensboro, HBCU and especially Southern who over blow everything how a band should look and sound.

Just 😮😮😮😮😮.. Awesome sound and show A&T! That Killling me softly is hall of fame 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Golden Delight werk their butts off! Arguably the best hbcu auxiliary hands down! Loved the beautiful, colorful flags during the ballad. Just the complete package 📦. Kudos Aggies for a great show!

Man this was AMAZING!!!! GD is just ridiculous this season!! AGGIE PRIDE

Congratulations BGMM, well deserved. Watching this performance brought tears to my eyes. Well done, great job!! I’m so proud is an understatement #BGMM #LOYALTY #KAOS
