As a joke HBCU Sports has just published it first pre-season Top 15 HBCU Marching Band poll. Of course it's meaningless but it does open up lots of discussion. As a life-long band head and A&T Alumni Band member, I was surprised to see that HBCU Sports thought so highly of my beloved Blue and Gold Marching Machine. Enjoy the list and let the arguments begin! P.S: I totally agree with the list.
1. Southern
2. North Carolina A&T
3. Bethune-Cookman
4. Jackson State
5. Tennessee State
6. Texas Southern
7. South Carolina State
8. Alabama A&M
9. Florida A&M
10. Alabama State
11. Grambling
12. Alcorn State
13. Arkansas-Pine Bluff
14. Miles College
15. Talladega College

Yep. a very unique look from up top. You could do some sweet promotional band videos with that tool.

wow. we've really come a long way!! 5 years ago our football program was the "laughing stock" of the meac, fast forward to 2015 and we won an meac championship and are preseason ranked #1 in the meac by most polls. now, its the b&gmm that's getting big time accolades with a #1 ranking! our bowling team won a national championship last season and, this year’s a&t newly enrolled freshman class is among one of the most academically talented in a&t history, registering an average SAT score of 920, an ACT score of 19 and a high school grade point average of 3.4.
i know i keep repeating myself, but our leadership has literally turned our university around! now this is what i call some serious “aggie pride” right there...

It should be a monster halftime show when Bethune comes into Greensboro in mid-October.
