Langston University Marching Pride
The Marching Pride is Langston's loudest ambassador — Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band once served as drum major, and the Golden Felines dancers march alongside the band. The Pride has performed for the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Nuggets, and Oklahoma City Thunder; at the Georgia Dome, AT&T Stadium, and the Edward Jones Dome; in four Honda Battle of the Bands; at New Orleans Mardi Gras; and on the national stage at the National Battle of the Bands in Houston. Their 2023 homecoming parade performance went viral on YouTube. A band photo from 1921 survives in the centennial history, showing the tradition reaches back over a century.
