UAPB Class of '95. I love this band. I remember sitting through rain and snow during football games until halftime just to see the band. My sisters were both member of the band and flaglines. Keep it up.
OH, how my heart soared to see my ALMA MATER--the band I marched in for 4 years marching in the President's Inauguration parade. Mr. Graham, and the band did a marvelous job!
Everytime i see this video i get chills and wish that this band gets the recognision it deserves.. This is a band that other hbcu's should look up too. Famu.., their not too far behind ya. kuddos to boti
Y'all know I was all up in the television hollering!!! Thanks for posting this!!!! Love y'all "M4" and Tau Beta Sigma/Kappa Kappa Psi!!! Ohhh--and in case you didn't know, I am an Alumnus of THE BAND (1977-1981)!!!!!
I was so proud and honored to have been a member of that band. M4 you guys should be proud on the time effort that you put into being a good example of your school. It felt like I was there with your guys.
Hey 71ruthie. I graduated from Howard in 1998. And yes. HBCU bands have practiced & worked towards PERFECTING the styles of showmanship for decades now. Others could only hope to keep up! LOL
CONGRATULATIONS UAPB, great job you were the only band that impressed me, BETTA REP THAT SWAC BABY!!what the hell was Grambling going through?------SU ALUMNI
OMG, UAPB performed wonderfully as always and the President really enjoyed the performance. Keep up the GREAT work. Congratulations on this major (once in a lifetime) accomplishment!!!
Oh how I love my alma mater............I wish I could have stayed one more year so I could have been in this parade..........M4, ya'll already know............beautiful, absolutely beautiful
Again, don't get me twisted 71 ruthie. I celebrate exposure for ANY hbcu on a national stage. Our participation in events like this one expose us to the dominant cultural majority. It is because of this exposure that we now see their bands marching, playing songs like "Talkin out the Side of Your Neck, and also see their frats and sororities step and chant. Del State, FAM, Hampton, UAPB, and my alma mater Howard all played a role as HBCU ambassadors in this high profile event. Very honorable.
Is my trash can tuba still in da band room LMAO! Graham,Hudson,Foooooster,all the professors and directors of bands at my university, I am glad to have been apart of history of our great band. Seeing this made me pump my chest out and be so proud to say.......I'M AN M4 ALUMNI! GREAT JOB YOU GUYS! :')
71 ruthie: Please don't feel that I was attacking your alma mater or your band. I was just stating my observation. The whole front of the band was barely marching. The banner carriers, dancers and even the drum major look as though they were walking. That is called SLUMMING. Not a slight, but a fact. It's there on the video. Despite the court style marching in the beginning of the video, I still like the sound. I too am an HBCU grad and have mad love for the schools and bands.
it is hating....and i dont know ruthie..so what yall talked about has nothing to do with me....but the fact that you had to point out sumthing negative when noone else did.....this wasnt called for..you shuolda just kept the comment to ur self....and again i say....if we walked down the parade backwards...we were 100% better than howard ne day...and im done too...maybe..lol
Kory: You say "why point out the negative?" Is that not what YOU did yourself? In my very FIRST statement, there are two positives but you clung so passionately to the one comment you didn't like (although it was true) that now you label me a "hater." Ruthie and I had deaded this debate amicably and 1 MONTH later, here you come all up in your feelings and calling me a hater? LOL. Read Ruthie and my FULL convo. Ruthie & I are cool. Comment back if you want but I'm done with it brother..
Nothing worse than seeing a band slum out on first approach. The whole front of the band is barely lifting their feet. Great sound though. You guys really play as a band.
why you gotta point out the negative...did you march that parade???...we did a wonderful job...FARRR better than sorry howard..lol...always will be better than howard...STOP HATING...
