Notable bands that were left out: Miles College, Howard, Jackson St., Norfolk State, NC A & T. Guess they had to cut off things somewhere.
Go EAGLES!!!
I would like to see PVAMU, Southern, UAPB, Grambling, Alabama A &M, and JSU. Now that's a battle. The only band from MEAC worth going would be FAMU(are they still MEAC)?
naw...in my opinion BCC is better than FAMU...i love both of their bands...but BCC is just about friggin PERFECT, everytime I see them I'm amazed...they're so precise...and I'm a big fan of Prairie View's band also...they're off the chain
why the fugg is Tuskegee going... :evil: Miles should take their place...they have a real powerful "SWACish" sound...but they need to work on balance and intonation...Tuskegee needs to work on EVERYTHING
Savannah State...wtf...trash...they were on the come up last year...but now... :?
and I think Langston will surprise some just like PV and VSU did last year because they're getting the exposure that they've been wanting and I assume that they're really going to take advantage of it...good luck to them 8)
but I dont think this HBOTB will be as entertaining as past years...
(FYI Tennessee State was invited but they denied the offer)
I'm gonna be in D.C. for Close-Up anyway...
^It's just when they came here to HU I was expecting much more and they wasn't that loud as I expected either for their size. The show just wasn't that exciting. Maybe it was just that one time.

I say its between the FAMU "Marching 100" and Prairie View A&M. I agree that BCC's band has come up some since I have been here but I don't remember them having more than 200 members in there band and I still don't think they are better than the "The Hundred," even though they have fallen off a little.
Yes Megan, we(FAMU) are still in the MEAC, but I missed those Grambling/PV days

actually BCC and FAMU have around the same numbers this year...FAMU went down in size and BCC stayed about the same...and quality matters more than quantity
