Welp…2020 is upon us and it’s about time to get some content out for the new year…<\/p>\n

\nFirst and foremost, I’d like to extend a hearty thank you to all of the folks that have followed this blog through its many machinations over the years. Folks that know me, know that I take the documentation of our culture pretty seriously; There are a LOT of legendary folks that have been at the forefront of telling OUR story in this medium, so the opportunity to keep on doing so in that tradition is pretty important to me. As long as there’s an audience for my little corner of HBCU Bandom, this blog will stay pumping out narratives for the culture. <\/p>\n

\nNow, let’s get down to business…LOL<\/p>\n

\nThe Honda BOTB (aka ‘Da Honda’ or ‘The Bandhead Turn-up’) is back for 2020 and I’m pretty excited to see it. Of course, we gotta have some stuff to talk about for the remaining two weeks leading up to the festivities, so I decided to kick off the new year with a series of moments in HBCU bandom that I’ve coined, Legendary Forgotten 5th’s.<\/b><\/div>\n

\nFor those of you that aren’t new to this blog (or if you’re a bandhead), you know what I’m talking about; That paragon of musicianship after a game called the 5th Quarter. In Big Ten circles it’s something completely different, but that’s neither here nor there. If you’ve gone to ANY sort of HBCU gameday where there are two bands present, odds are you’re going to encounter an HBCU-Style 5th Quarter. For fans, it’s an opportunity for more cranking, more watts, more creasage, well…You get the picture. Either way, The 5th Quarter has provided some of the most entertaining moments for folks (band heads and regular fans alike) that love and appreciate the culture surrounding our performance craft. The very FIRST installment of this series involves two band programs that really haven’t been on the scene in recent years. Howard University’s “Showtime” Marching Band and The “Brown Sound” of Morris Brown College’s “Marching Wolverines” matched up in 2002 to create one of these Legendary moments. Needless to say, I had to DITC a bit to find a whole clip of the 5th quarter in its entirety. After a myriad of searches and mouse clicks on youtube, I found it. Check it out:<\/div>\n
