97 was the best . My time with Tracey and Bobbie Jackson r.i.p we was good but small no band will compare to 97 . I was a lil girl traveling following the band my brother was in . Much respect. Mr chipman
I'm sitting here watching and getting all teary eyed. Being in the band, especially during that time, shaped so much of my life. And that cush section sound clean af!

Dr. Shelby Chipman, Miami Central's band director at the time, is now the NEW Director of Bands at his Alma Mater of Florida A&M University.
DeAndre Noel well deserved
That Chipman guy is amazing I remember the band coming to my middle school in 97, and they rocked.
This might be the best Black high school band I’ve ever seen.
I'm getting chills
Everytime!
If you close your eyes and listen would you think it’s FAMU

THEYRE HUGE!!!
Yeah we had well over 300 band members during those years. That's when high school bands were big. Now they're all tiny.
I left Central in 98. So from 95-98, we were untouchable.
I played snare for Dillard 92-96 and Central was 🔥🔥🔥
Eric Johnson ever heard of Burke high school in Charleston SC
David Williams No

We need Chipman back like yesterday. The band hasnt been the same since he left.

Nobody could touch us during that era.
Y'all always hated to play Edison tho..lol
Never...We blew them away every year I was at Central
You a lie!!..I left Edison 93 & Chipman hated going against us
Lies.com I marched in the band from 91 to 94 we was afraid of NO ONE... AND Edison was no band to hate going against TRUST ME
