The band is one of eight selected to perform at the Pepsi 2022 National Battle of the Bands, presented by Toyota, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas Saturday, Aug. 27, at 6 p.m. This is the band’s first performance at the event.

I’m excited for them.” Martin appreciates the band’s recognition and opportunity for broad exposure. “I’m looking forward to the fellowship among the band directors, the camaraderie of the students, and showcasing the Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite to a national audience. It’s an honor to be chosen. We can highlight that we are not only in the conversation, but we deserve a seat at the table.” SOURCE Alcorn State University If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
