The one and most important thing A&T has going for itself is the level of creativity year in and year out. Most bands are going to do what they do: Southern, Jackson, Tenn. State and the rest. However, I realize that being so creative sets the bar high and it adds pressure to come up with something better year after year. But, it can be done. But, it is a monster roster this year. The B&GMM gets the news about defending their title at the 2015 HBOB.

Hey Blue Death fans, the Blue and Gold Marching Machine sure could use your support at the 2015 Honda Battle of the Bands in January. We need as many fans in the stands as we can get to help us keep our championship.

Although our football season is over, I just want to remind you that marching band season isn't over. The Blue and Gold Marching Machine will be practicing to defend their Honda Battle of the Band Champanship. So while the rest of the A&T students are enjoying being home with their families, band members will be in Greensboro practicing.
Hope that some of you football fans will also show up in Atlanta to support the BGMM!

Well Aggie Blue and Gold Marching Band fans, we are just a few hours away from the Honda Battle of the Bands. We will be defending our 2014 championship. No matter the outcome, the BGMM will rock the Georgia Dome!

If you look at the 8 bands selected for Honda this year it's hard to argue with the selection. Maybe you can make a case for adding Alcorn but most fans that follow HBCU bands think Honda got it just about perfect this year. By the way, the voting opens for the 2016 competition in September of this year so all you Alcorn fans need to start voting. The bands with the most fan votes get invited.

I'm saying Alcorn didn't make the cut. I mean, what else is there to say.

Well, just left the Honda Battle of the Bands and here's my take on it. Honda changed the game again this year and didn't pick a winner but here's my ranking... 1. Southern...not a unique show but it's hard to beat that many musicians sounding good. 2. A&T ...another unique and entertaining show ( not as unusual as last years show) 3. Tennessee State...okay but boring show. 4. Cookman...great sound but the same old boring show 5. Alabama State... Same old boring HBCU show except the audience loved their fat dancers. 6. Talladega... They still can't march and play at the same time,but they are loud 7. Jackson State...god awful show. 8. Howard...they confirmed that they should not have been invited.
Overall this year's Honda proved what Tom Joyner said...HBCUBands have gotten boring. You can watch a bunch of folks shake their booty and play loud just so long, then it gets boring. In most performances tonight the only difference in the performances was the color of the uniform.

Disagree, the Aggies put on a production, all others put on a regular show.
