The Epitome of how a band suppose to march and sound thank you bethune cookman keep striving for that musical excellence I strongly believe you all will be the next black band to get the Sudler Trophy-it will be well earned

I live in STL , I flew to ATL for this, My First Honda BOTB and I loved it. You won't get anything like this in the Midwest. My Favs--JSU--SCSU-And Bethune Cookman. A Beautiful day at the Georgia Dome.. The Superbowl of HBCU Marching Bands!!!

wow I was in an HBCU marching band and you have to appreciate the beauty in OUR BANDS.. it gives me goose bumps EVERY TIME. recorded or live.. there is NOTHING Like it

I'm white and have done corps-style marching my whole marching 'career' (over 8 years), but DAMN... I would LOVE to be in a band like this!

One of the best experiences yall ever have.

The enjoyment I felt watching the 2011 battle of the bands was the best I've ever had, especially since my dad's band Clark Atlanta University was in it. Now, all I can say is that they're just sad happy memories, now that he's gone.

BCU fieldshow songs always have that marching groove, and thee arrangements are PRICELESS!!!!!!

This Band is the Best!!!

Man that "Let's Go" gives me goosebumps every time and I marched for TnSU.

Never thought any group could be better than a Pat Foster FAMU Band. I stand corrected. The Best Band in the Country.

(SU FAN HERE) Bethune is amazing they never change who they are and always has a great sound

This is definitely one of the best sounding traditional bands there is! FAMU has the tradition, but this school has the sound.

The Undesputed Heavyweight Champions Of All Black College Marching Bands !!! ~Let's Go Wildcats !!!

Great sound guys. Definitely one of the better bands in this land.

Ooh them 14k gold drive me wild crazy!

Best marching band I've seen or heard in a while. Very underrated.

Yes, and so much better than FAMU

I'm an SCSU grad and a big fan of my beloved Marching 101! BC, I loved your show! Classy!

All I can say - AMAZING! I'm just sitting here with my mouth wide open and watching this, I'm so dissapointed that we don't have something like this in my country.

This band is the best for its style, but even if it isn't the best overall, it is one of the top bands in the country. I don't care who you are.

BEST SOUND HANDS DOWN!!--yes i was there

They sound really good.

good job cookman wow and 14k looked good!!!!!

Best sounding HBCU out today #Facts #HailThePride

I am so proud of them!

The only band to be in this battle of the bands showcase for 13 STR8 years. No OTHER band can say that. That shows who really put in work. Haiiiiiiiiiiiillllll WILDCATS 💯

This is the baddest band in America. Perfect playing while dancing. It's amazing how much talent there is out there on that field. GO WILDCATS!

Go Mighty Wildcats!! Summer Band Camp '84.

Incredible!!!!

Well got damn, BCC was huge! I wonder if they will get all the Famu folks.

Awesome!!!! This was amazing

Fuck this was amazing!!I bet it was fucking hell getting this show together!!

The only band to be in this battle of the bands showcase for 13 STR8 years. No OTHER band can say that. That shows who really put in work. Haiiiiiiiiiiiillllll WILDCATS 💯

i think i is the top band in the country

they got some soul haha!

amazing!

University of Wisconsin for sure, most DCI bands, like i said they are the best for their style.

Oh my god. That is amazing.

amazing wow my marching band isnt that big but this marching band is good!

they are something serious!!!!!! love it

B-CU was on another level yesterday and that sound was immaculate in person. I was nervous that B-CU had to come after SCSU who did a great job but The Pride held their own without any props. It was a good day at the dome yesterday, one of the best Honda's in a couple of years.

aye i love how drum majors are cool af !

Over 100,000 views!! Let's Go Wildcats.

awesome Wildcats... HAIL WILDCATS!!!! THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THE BADDEST BAND IN THE LAND.

I will be attending this college soon BCU!!! LehGO! Tuba shawty

Very difficult to play music whilst being that active. Props

WHy can't bands sound this good and powerful without over blowing and head cocking? Good job BCU. And no I never went to BSU

BSU!!!!! IM AT 00:47 and havent even finish I know yall bout to rock this place! GOOD JOB!! THE MEAC HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL HERE!!

i TOTALLY agree with you!!

come to America and bring your talents here ;)

I'm a SC State grad..this show sounded better than SC State show but SC State has the crowd more hyped... So SC State and BCU shows were my favorite... Listening to this one and SC State makes me miss HBCU's alot....

BCU I GO FOR ALL THE BANDS

out of all the Honda bands this year , i felt that this show was the best, and sounded the best too.

Definitely interesting... My favorite part of the show is actually around the 7:50 point when they actually show musicianship. Anyone can play fff it takes a real musician to play pp or p and make waves with the music. Very nice sound wish the whole show had that dynamic contrast though.

This is a great band

Cookman: The only band that marches an entire show

FACTS. Nobody comes close

i want to go there soooo bad

Music quality actually goes up when you play sitting on the floor like that, it forces you to use your diaphragm, which allows for better tone quality and control. Its what my school's band uses to teach diaphragm use.

this makes me wish that i had gone to an HBCU.

Lovinn Cookmann Rytee Now....Im Lovinn Demm!!!

they did amazing ik SCSU my college bt BCU killed them

funky

BASEDgOD...... ayyyy BCU's tone quality and syncopation is way better than FAMU's this year...... BCU is putting in work on the real.....

BCU the truth best band in my opinion

This is my sixth HBOTB and this is by far the best performance by Bethune Cookman. I only wish FAMU and Bethune could have continued "The Battle" heads up again. South Carolina State and Jackson State put on great shows but they were no comparison to Bethune. Looking forward to next years show. STL to the ATL.

I have tons of friends in DCI they refer to it as summer band all the time..

BCU ALL DAY

btw all u bcu haters compare bcu's sound "tuning" to all the other bands and just because other bands can play popular music that dont mean they are playing it good everyone goes by the name of the song but not how it sounds ok maybe you can hear the melody a little bit but trying to compete for sound dominence is not called good until they learn scsu,su,asu that tuning is key bcu will always remain on top

left hand side was killing the dance mix madd energy

This is got to be the baddest band in America and I've seen some good ones, PVAMU, Southern "Human Juke Box", JSU Sonic Boom, Tennessee State Band. Their sound is so full, my goodness, where did they come from all of a sudden?

Their intro march was exciting.

i love this band they are the mighty wild cats the dopest band i love them and didnt even go there. they always been bad and this is no exception. always wanted to go to bcu. they the best in the meac hands down

@MrPhantom2010 yup yup yup bcu did a great job! two thumbs up!!!

some of dese people asses almost scrubbin da ground on da dance routine lol

vice versa intro nice :-)

those are some gutsy trombonist a.

Future Marchin Wildcat! WildCats!!! Letsgo!!!!

@YungPrinceOfSong itl be worththe experience trust me you will learn alot and have alot of fun, i just came in back in Aug it was a hel of a ride but fun and always great performing, and the college programs and what the school has to offer isnt bad either lot of oppurtunitez

WHERE'S THE REST!!!? LOL I love me band!!

chuckin up my dueces!!!

they don't NEED it. its just preferred.

I say was replace the entire congress with them. They sure know what quality work and cooperation is.

Why'd it cut off at the end?

@MrPhantom2010 This band is awesome. Anyone to criticize BCU's band, let alone any other college band, really needs to get a reality check. They are working hard and it shows.

@meatwadgunit that is soooo true

bcu famu the top two bands of the meac and this is coming from an aggie fan

Why was the 5th drum major on the sideline?

can't nobody tell me those transitions aint smooth NOBODY!!

NICCCCCCCCE

@meatwadgunit they just do a good job of making it look that way

@anonymousowa1 i so agree. Just like the technique we use,sit sideways in a chair and hold your feet in the air. This forces you to use more diaphragm. Always helps with your stamina and tighten your abs.

its not a halftime show. their parents know what they are bringing their kids to so thats on them.

@MrJayboi239 oh ok, more to come...

What's the name of the song by Chris Brown? Couldn't really hear the announcer.

Don't ever tell members of DCI they are in a band...you won't like the result.

@biancagrhm ikr....sad...jus appreciate wat hbcu band programs are doing these days instead of worrying about lil stuff like that

they did pastor troy thats hot

They have a good sound though

Look at BCU looking like a late 90's FAMU!!!
