PHILADELPHIA -- Saturday afternoons in the fall mean college football. But Saturday afternoons at historically Black colleges and universities mean Showtime!
No matter how good or bad a team is, no matter how good or bad the game is, two things are a given at a HBCU game One, someone goes home happy -- after all, their team won. Two, and most important -- no one goes to the bathroom during halftime.
Let's be real here -- while normal Division I school bands march -- HBCU bands strut. Division I school bands sing fight songs; HBCUs live them. Division I schools play; HBCUs perform.
From the hot stepping of the drum majors, the precision of the flag bearers, and the universal sounds produced from an army of wood, brass and steel, HBCU bands have transformed halftimes into their personal 15 minutes of fame.
Although the movie "Drumline" focused on the competitive nature between schools, it is usually not considered a complete victory until the school's band kicks butt along with the football team during the unofficial "battle of the bands" at halftime.
Of all those HBCU bands that have graced the gridiron, some have reached mythic status.

That part is true...it's just that the current band doesn't reflect that legacy.
