Best part of this contest will be the Battle of the Bands. Anyone who has watched 'Drumline' will know what I mean. Will be a great test for the precision of TBDBITL. Hope Grambling can keep up.

The bands will put on a good show, but I don't see how they can compete; they aren't the same thing at all. HBCU bands and military style bands are both bands perform on a football field, but that is about the only thing they have in common. A good friend of mine in Florida played in the FAMU band and had no interest whatsoever in military style bands. It was like asking a huge opera fan to listen to Hank Williams Sr.
