      @ArnitraFitzhugh-mx1gq I actually received a band scholarship to TSU from Mr. Clarence in 2005. I'm kicking myself for choosing UAPB (they were offering more money. Lol) but I LOVE Htown, TSU and I love your band! That's why I auditioned. 🤘🏾💙

    P.S. I'm from Chicago, but every time I come down to HTown, I hit that Frenchy's on Scott Street right across from TSU! Shout out to TSU and them too!💜🤣🤘🏾

    With utmost 6:25 sincerity, THIS confirmation by the production team and Mr. Simmons, means more to me than the Fandom surrounding this event. My kid is a Freshman, who entered with amazing qualities like humility, dedication, hard work, and drive. The Ocean's leadership team has fostered these qualities to the 10th power! Even their alumni chapter shows so much support. I applaud the excellent standards that exude throughout the band. This has been a huge transition for a mama bear like me, and I have trusted them without disappointment. THANK YOU for the validation. These directors are so talented and the best!#grateful #oceanontop #whoosh🌊 #percussionlivesmatter❤ #409proud #beaumontunitedalumni

    Queen Beyonce is bringing solo much artistic excellence, cultural awareness and the light to the hidden history of black contributions to the foundation of America, and the racist practices that continue to hide and deny them. Princess Blue Ivy was a gem! Ashley is back! Best entertainer for my money and mind. Totally agreed with Queen Mother Tina - Yaya.

I just found it interesting that he tried to downplay the magnitude of this performance and tried to low key equate their past performances, which I’m sure were spectacular, to the machinery, artistry and energy of Beyonce’s, which is beyond ridiculous. The person interviewing him picked up on this as well and had to bring him down to earth. He did not seem very gracious at all to me. Just my opinion.
