- The BGMM shut it down in the Georgia Dome. Here's how it happened..
Special thanks to all the fans, donors, and supporters who have continued to be around while the BGMM grows. Super special thanks for all the staff and especially the students that brought it all together over this journey, while keeping the faith, staying positive, and giving their full effort (and putting up with me during rehearsals)...

I am a Mighty Marching Hornet at Alabama State University and I want to congratulate you all (NCAT) on a stellar performance at this year's HBOB! I was really in awe by the technique, showmanship, and style displayed by this school! I would have not chosen another school to take home the title at this yrs comp., and I want to express my sincerest gratitude for the bar that you all have set for our schools. Way to innovate! #HBCULOVE #HBCUPRIDE #TOGETHERWESTAND!! 🎵🎶🎼
NCAT versatility at its best. The rest of the bands and MEAC Conference need to step up. As a former member of a DCI band and High stepping MEAC band, I am thrilled everytime I watch NCAT. Great Job band and Golden Delight. #AllHail
By far the best hbcu marching band fieldshow EVAR!!!!
So I’ve recently fell in love with A&T. I’ve watched everything from the last two years and decided to start going back. Stumbled upon this gem and wow. What a show! 💛💙
That ending gave me "Chills" in person and watching this video. I am truly amazed by the level of difficulity and effort that this band produces. It is clear that you have influenced SCSU as they are constantly trying to take there show out of the box as well, with limited results. A&T truly deserved this win! Great Job!!!!
NCAT thank you and congrats to your winning 2014 battle of the band's in Atlanta. My niece is an Alum to this fine institution and I have visited the campus and I am impressed.
Amazing.....Props all the way from South Korea.
this made my day . Never disappointed when I watch this band. Golden delight SERVED as always.
Thomas, YOU are the man!!!! I know that was hard to pull off.
This was one of the best shows that I have ever witnessed!!! Great job band and dancers!!!!
Love this band to death!
I thought NSU's Spartan Legion was my fav until now. I witnessed this in person and although there were some crooked lines here and there the show was phenomenal...Cold Steel and Golden Delight showed the fuck up and showed the fuck out! Given their hectic school schedules and a holiday break, these kids did their best and really showed a lot of folks how it's done.
The #1 Public HBCU in America, The #1 producer of African American Engineers, etc..etc..etc.Now the #1 HBCU band in America!!! Just getting into gear baby. What a spectacular, innovative, killer performance from the BGMM & Golden Delight.
A.G.G.I.E....YEAH... P.R.I.D.E....YEAH...GIMME THAT...GIMME THAT.
I am so proud to had been member of this band! Tears came to my eyes just watching this! Simply wonderful!
I am glad to be an AGGIE. Living in Detroit, but Greensboro is my home and Homecoming is my event every year.
Much Respect! @ 13:01 felt like the BGMM finally believed Morpheus from the Matrix and transformed into "The One". 2 thumbs up.
I marched my first step in the A&T Band in 1965 and since that first step I have loved and supported the A&T Band...but never in all of those years have I been as stunned after a performance as I was at the Honda Battle of the Bands last Saturday. I've seen and heard the Blue and Gold Marching Machine and Golden Delight do some great shows but this show was amazing! Dr. Ruff has taken the A&T Band program to a new level...one that other HBCU's will copy in the future. Thanks to Dr. Ruff, Thomas, Donte, Reshonda, Tiffany, Tanika, Ron, Harvey and the rest of the staff for one hell-of-a performance. And thanks to all of the kids that put in all those long hours throughout the year so old guys like me can say "Aggie Pride!"
That wardrobe change at 8:43 was freaking amazing! Golden Delight is truly the best in the game, when you talk about auxiliaries
I think I will deem them my favorite HBCU marching band right now. They're stepping out on faith!
Great show, I'm from Brazil and I'm a fan of this band, congratulations nc a & t !!
I'm officially a FAN! I went to CAU, but I think that NCA&T has revolutionized HBCU marching performances as most people know it. I think HBCU bands have started to become too mundane.....March, Play, Dance Feature, Play, Slow Concert Song, Dance, Finish......I love how the dancers were a part of the WHOLE performance and not just a feature. Costume changes, Flag color changes, a true PRODUCTION!!! It actually brought chills to my skin and that's a good thing. I think people have, like the announcer said, marginalized HBCU Bands, and its good to see a little diversity now. Not to say no one else have ever changed it up, but this needs to be the standard now at the Battle of the Bands. Show off your creativity and versatility and show these Ivy League schools that we can do more than just dance. Great Job!
This is by far the greatest show I've ever seen from a HBCU! Keep up the great work guys!!!!
NCAT, keep stepping out on faith! The devil is trying to creep up on you with haterism! But ya'll keep on keepin' on! AMEN!
You guys really put in work from the drum majors, to the band, to the dancers. This band is amazing. I can't wait for what you have in store this upcoming fall!
When y'all did that company front at the end it really literally sent chills down my spine. Coming from somebody that Marches Drum Corps and wants to go to an HBCU this is one of the best College shows I've ever seen due to the versatility!
Honestly, NCAT did something special this year, for the very first time, I saw an HBCU marching band take it to a whole other level, I saw NCAT stick with and then surpass marching bands across america PERIOD. Traditional, DCI, WGI, whatever your preference is, NCAT appealed to and impressed all genres. Good job Aggies.
Dr. Ruff, Thomas, Ron, Tiffany, Harvey, staff and band member, coming from a former member of the BGMM, it was a pleasure watching you guys in person in the dome! I marched under Dr. Hodge and we did some great shows, but, THIS SHOW WAS OUTSTANDING! I felt sooooo proud to be an AGGIE that day! Keep up the innovative effort! Watch out, other programs will come for you next year. But, we are AGGIES! We are NOT worried!
Cold Steel '91
Man I'm so proud of my A&T Band!!! I hope A&T can get a special performance of the exact same show at school I the stadium for those who missed it!
Omg I just love this band so much its my dream college and I just LOVE YALL
YESSSSS BABY!!! A well deserved 1st place. I love my SONIC BOOM from Jackson State University... but NCA&T rocked this year's HBOTB 2014!!!
Y'all Hurrup and get to Jackson to play us!!! A great SWAC/MEAC match-up!!!
I'm blown away. That was a great show. Shoutout my bro Paul on quints.
An A&T Classic!
This is the show that made ncat one of my favorite bands and it is my favorite show of any marching band I've seen, hbcu, dci or pwi. I believe this show has it all
Still here 10 years later
Lots of energy and excitment great show from ncat
Best band I've ever seen can't wait till I get there
I'm so glad I went to A&T! Aggie Pride!
Aggie Pride!!!
Best HBCU band hands down.
Thomas and the B&GMM Media Team......You guys have spoiled me rotten! The sound, the creativity, the video presentation.... It's almost impossible to watch any other HBCU band (not that I've had a real urge to anyway). Thank you!!!! AGGIE PRIDE!
Honestly, this is my favorite HBCMB. That dci inspired closer blew my mind.
This is what I call showing up and showing out! That's what I like to see from A&T! They were full of energy and the sound was powerful. Congrats on being the first to win the Honda! Proud of the BGMM
Watching this Again!!! My daughters' last year. I'm getting ready to hit the road!! Proud Aggie Parent i am. 4 yrs already. Time flies when you are having fun.
this performance was crazy!!!! even better in person im glad i got to see this live! this makes me want to be an Aggie
Honestly no other band can top them at this point until they prove themselves. Cranking is ok and all but when you can do what they did at the end, be entertaining, and crank you dont matter to me. and people are just now realizing A&T was a force to deal with smh i been a fan since 07
natejustdope me to i might go there for snare drum in college but i feel like goin to su human jukebox snare line cause there funkier than A&T and i surely want to go to the bayou classic with su snare line
Asa Roberson trust me A&T is the better choice
Im a famu an BCU fan but this was a good show.....thumbs up
I hope that everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day. I just wanted to say that I retract my previous comment about this show. I was wrong!!!! This was a very well thought out, conceptualized show. I think the reason for my previous post was that I didn't do what I often tell my students to do, PAY ATTENTION!!!!!.....NCAT I tip my hat to you all, and to the staff you all are some geniuses!!!! I can not wait to see what you all have planned for the 2014-2015 marching season.
Chills through my whole body 💯 I love NCAT.
this show was amazing...I esp loved the Spend the night...very soulful...great arrangment...GD is always spectacular
I am a proud Aggie Parent and i am very proud of the BGMM which my daughter is apart of. We travel to see the band perform often. Aggie Pride!!!!!!
Freaking amazing!!!!
Ok nc a & t you just got a new music fan
Yo the musicianship was crazy!They did that,mad respect
Aaaaamoooooooh de + vcs ❤❤❤🎶🎼🎷📯
Them dancers are also magicians...when did they change....lol
Well.... I've got 2 Words... AGGIE Pride!!!!! Killed it!!
that sounded amazing and i cant wait til i audition at the blowout
Great show , especially the ending
All the way from miami,fl following NCA&t ... I think if I would have known about them when I was in school i would have been an aggie .... Shout out to Bcu and famu tho
I got one word....AWESOME!!!!! Go NC A&T!!!
Awesome!!!!
Sou de Salvador Bahia Brasil e sou fã dessa Banda
I love my A&T! Who is the hater that disliked this?!?! #AGGIEPRIDE #NCAT
Probably someone from Central, WSSU, or SCSU...or maybe even BCU. They're pretty salty, too...
***** Lies. No one from Cookman is hating on NCAT. Stop reaching and take the props with a little grace.
Jimmy Hernández No one? You polled everyone from BCU in order to make sure that none of them were salty? I would like to think that there was a reason why I threw BCU into the mix...
***** Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that it wasn't there... No one was "focusing" on the Carolina schools, just answering the question and pointing out that there are people from those schools that downvote every video I post off of GP...
*****
Just because YOU don't do something doesn't make it invalid. WE get the hate from everywhere. It's valid. It happens. Whether you think it happens or not. My suggestion for you is to reread your comments. What you're saying, in itself, is condescending. So I guess we can add your comments to the BCU hate as well. Thanks.
GREAT Show.....And they went DCI style at the end. VERY NICE SHOW. I'm ALL about Grambling and they had a good year but they could had come there and faced A&T head to Head but GSU didn't. But BIG UPS to A&T on a GREAT show. Yall went out da box. EXCEPT for doing a PV style drum breakdown but it was a straight show.
Excellent show, GREAT way to represent HBCU bands and NC.Thomas, yall keep doing what you do.A+++
I love NC A&T!!!!! Every section is on point but the tubas aren't really strong enough to support such a big sound that the rest of the band has. Got to have that strong bass! Once they have that, A&T will be UNTOUCHABLE!!!
nc a&t is the best can't wait for college
I'm glad to have went and marched with this program. I don't care what anyone says. I was very pleased,and everything everyone that didn't march or never marched said was definitely polished with this show.but guess what their opinion doesn't matter. #straightlikedat #thunderbrother #AggiePride
Killed it!
I wish the historically HBCU band heavyweights (Southern, FAMU, Grambling, TSU, etc..) had participated. That way, there would be no question that this year's NCA&T band is in a league of their own. All of this year's Honda participants were good but A&T took it to whole new level. I'm now wondering, where do they go from here. I loved this show because it might be the best performance by a show band, ever......
They absolutely murdered the night on bald mountain!
BEAUTIFUL BIG FAN REALLY WANNA GO TO THIS COLLEGE AFTER I GRADUATE HIGHSCHOOL GET IT TRUMPETS!!!!
I honestly feel that NC A&T is one of the few HBCU's (or high stepping bands for that matter) that can put on a show just as amazing as The Crossmen from DCI. I do however agree with Desmond on it not being a DCI caliber show, when it comes to formations anyway. I mean this performance can definitely go toe to toe with CC's E=mc^2 show last year for musicality. But unlike Desmond, I feel the drumline here is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than those in DCI (excluding the Blue Devils/Jersey Surf). I mean yeah you have your basic drumming and sticking in DCI, but then you have the complicated stick movements/rhythems/and general show styleness (Idk what else to call it) and all of that having to sync together just seems to me to require more patience and focus and just all around skill.
Thank you for you honest comments. The challenge for most HBCU bands is changing their shows every week. You cannot do the same game every week. If they have 7 home games, they have to create 7 different shows. The show you saw at the Honda was implemented after the Christmas break so the kids only had about two weeks to learn the music and perfect the steps. This was A&T first step into the DCI arena and it will not be their last. And they will get better and better with time. But this wasn't a bad first step...definitely entertaining.
These boys sound good and entertaining....and them dancers>>>>>> those are women you hear me just gorgeous
Little drum corps company front.....very nice ending guys!!! Make them get up and CHEER!!!
7:16 that undertaker from wwf theme tho hmmm not bad at all I love this band
this number 1 band
UFFF that ending !
Well Damn!!!
They are def the one in my morpheous voice
I would've have hated to watch the band who performed after that cause the contest was OVA
I should have enrolled here. An HBCU where I can utilize the skills from my corp. style background.
can't wait to be in coldsteel #snare4life
Epic
If it wasnt for out of state tuition........ they are the most creative band around!!!!!!
Proud Aggie!!!!!
A&T wins every year, like DUH! That's a no brainer! Lol
Y'all did that too
A&T's performance (.. music selection; sound quality; ballad arrangements; auxiliary (flags; dance team; drum majors)) was excellent. One weakness, though: A&T needs to be about 300 people instead of near 200 for visual optics and sound projection purposes. If this were implemented, A&T would crush all other bands; without it, A&T always remains a top 5-10 band surrounded by others (... BCU, FAMU, PVA&M, etc.).
I still like fam version of spend the night but awesome show a & t
Night On Bald Mountain! Lol used to scare me as a kid.
what's the opening songs name
Hmm...I just noticed that the end of this show looks a lot like the end of the 1995 Madison Scouts' Show.
Madison has always been one of my favorite corps. That's where we got the influence from when designing the drill...
***** Thanks for this show man! Excellence at its finest, from a Mighty Marching Hornet!
Aggie Pride!!!
mad? HA...not at all. i have been a fan of BGMM back in the '90s in the Hodge era when they were beasting on FAMU and other bands in the MEAC/SWAC. i was always impressed w/the sound and variety of music selections that they would perform during that time. as an HBCU alum, there is nothing for me to hate on. i just see what's wrong and point them out without the usual pat on the back and great job when in reality that doesn't always make a product better if the flaws are not pointed out to be accepting of those pats on the back. there lies the problem, Mr. Jones, the small problems are those you can fix immediately, which will ultimately make a smoother transition to the bigger ones. but, obviously, you in your preparation of dreaming big you compensated for the smaller things that are at times more blatantly bigger than your dreams to correct them. we preach attention detail in corporate america because they outweigh the bigger picture through time management. but, i digress and you continue to teach the youth of tomorrow. thnks, mgmt.
LOVE THE DCI EFFECT!!! about time an hbcu does this. dci better watch out, lol. we alrighty have better rythm than them lol
A&T sounded great and all...but let's not get too carried away. This was not a DCI caliber show. And I hope you don't seriously believe that HBCU drumlines have "more rhythm" than those in DCI. If so, let me assure you that you are mistaken.
Again, this was an outstanding performance and very deserving of the fan favorite award.
Desmond Moore I believe rhythm is the wrong word to use in this explanation. DCI drumlines utilize more technical patterns and HBCU drumlines utilize more groovy patterns. They both possess equal rhythm in my opinion. Rhythm is used in both technical and groove patterns. Rhythm is just a repeated pattern of movement and/or sound.
Desmond Moore probably he meant ,rhythm, as in dancing. not percussion.
Norfolk has been incorporating corps style techniques for a while now, check their 06 and 07 shows.... their sound was FLAWLESS....
Desmond Moore so what if it is not a dci show I lost my mind when they did the heel to toe style and moved like dci it takes mad skills to do dci style
This is the band I want to be on I'm on the drum line the only I don't like are the lines they should all be shoulder to shoulder and most kind of step out
Why does the intercom guy keeping talking over the show?
Historically all HBCU halftime shows will include comments by an announcer. The trick for the announcer is to not talk "too" much and distract from the performance. Sometimes the announcers job is to cover up for a crappy band performance. That wasn't the case here. If you want to see the performance without the announcer, there is a RUclips video of their rehearsal. Same performance without the announcer or the crowd.
The ending is what made that show, with the DCI'ish concept....the rest of the show was...good but not jaw dropping.
Remember. People always remember how you start. And how you finish
That Mussorgsky though !!
*cough* Dr. Ruff!! Lol
Great job BGMM! Great work media team you guys always make it happen. But GAred1976 I respect your opinion but really yo the lines? Seriously? The corporate America line came out of nowhere but in corporate America the main goal is to be innovative, have the next big thing or idea. Impress the people to buy in which is what exactly A&T did. Keep up the great work BGMM. Gotta stop thinking so traditional.
