🔥 TOP 10 HBCU BANDS — WEEK 2 RANKINGS 🔥

THE RANKINGS HAVE SHIFTED! 🎺🥁

Southern University jumps THREE spots to claim the #1 position after an impressive two days of performances. The Human Jukebox brought the sound, energy and showmanship to make a statement.

The Alabama schools hold strong at #3 and #4, with Alabama A&M’s Marching Maroon & White and Alabama State’s Mighty Marching Hornets continuing to make noise.

👀 WELCOME TO THE TOP 10, GRAMBLING!
We see the work. We hear the sound. The World Famed Tiger Marching Band is coming strong this year.

And Prairie View A&M makes a favorable impression after a quality performance against Texas Southern. The Marching Storm showed us there’s plenty of smoke coming out of Prairie View this season. 🔥

The season is young, and these rankings are already getting interesting…
