Band spotlight
LSCC Jazz Band
Lawson State is not a marching-band school in the classic HBCU sense — its verified music program is the LSCC Jazz Band under Bessie Hunter-Shelton. Peterson's student-activities listing credits the college with a marching band and choral groups, and campus tradition includes an annual Christmas Musical, but no marching band director, roster, or performance records surfaced in the sources checked, so the marching claim is treated as unverified. On game days the spirit work belongs to the cheer squad and the Golden Essence dance team.
From the Yard roster. No videos are shown — none verified official and rights-clean.
