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!
