This past weekend, Week 0 of the college football season provided us with a small taste of HBCU football games to carry us over until this weekends’ full slate of games.
However, Saturday’s National Battle of the Bands in Houston showcased a slate of performances from eight HBCU bands, arguably considered among the college marching band elite.
Also see: Poll: Which band won the MEAC/SWAC Challenge halftime show, Alcorn State or North Carolina Central?
Bands from Bethune-Cookman, Jackson State, Langston University, Norfolk State, North Carolina A&T, Southern University, Talladega College and Tennessee State performed field shows before a crowd in the tens of thousands at NRG Stadium.
