There have been multitudes of amazing HBCU band performances since the 2018 marching season began.
However, there were two bands that we believe consistently performed better than everyone else.
As a result, Jackson State’s Sonic Boom of the South and North Carolina A&Ts Blue and Gold Marching Machine are the two finalists for HBCU Sports’ 2018 Band of the Year.
