As if it wasn’t enough for the college football season to kick off during the Labor Day weekend, the city of Jackson, Mississippi, hosted the HBCU Labor Day Classic Battle of the Bands, which featured 10 of the nation’s top HBCU marching bands.
The lineup included Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Talladega College, Alabama A&M, Langston University, Alabama State, Grambling State, Alcorn State, Mississippi Valley State, Southern University, and Jackson State.
The event was an exhibition. There was no named winner.
However, we’re sure that many will draw their own conclusions about who has the best field show.
Please review the shows and then vote in the poll below. The videos are courtesy of ShowtimeWeb.

This BOTB was horrible, and an experience i dont want to experience again. Waiting hours in the heat with unorganized lines. They didnt even release our ticket information until 1 hour before the event was to take place and then they put it in will call. What kind of Janky promotion event coordination is this. Once we got in we had a good time but it was very unorganized and we will never attend another BOTB under the brand we went to yesterday.
Alcorn did that!! Alcorn #1
Why isn’t Texas Southern University in Houston , Texas included in the Poll?
UAPB the best
Pine Bliff is awesome!!!
