The marching season that was 2017 included halftime shows that involved a unique mix of themes, social messages, and a hefty dose of dissing opposing bands.

With the understanding that HBCU bands possess their very own unique styles and other individual traits that have become synonymous in establishing their brands, the criteria in creating our third annual list was the same as it has been for the previous two: song selection, creativity and crowd reaction.

    Wow, the only way this happens is the person doing the selecting is a Grambling
    graduate. Grambling people don’t seem to realize that this band is not good.
