Southern University’s Human Jukebox and Miles College’s Marching Purple Machine electrified Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, each claiming national titles at the Red Lobster Band of the Year competition. Southern’s victory was especially meaningful, closing an emotional season dedicated to late band member Caleb Wilson. Miles College made history with back-to-back Division II wins, showing what heart and discipline can do even with fewer resources. The energy in the stadium was off the charts, and the sense of community and remembrance was powerful. What do you think makes HBCU band culture so unique and impactful? #Education #HBCUBands #Atlanta
