That powerhouse of the south on top
This is definitely a joke! Savannah State can’t even outperform a high school band. This is too funny!
Take a look at the video. Nothing high school about it. The band is in a different place from previous years. Peace!!!
Exactly! Savannah State band is progressively moving in a great direction!
I don’t like that that’s my name.
