Band spotlight
Marching Musical Storm
Band founded 1948
One of the largest student organizations on campus, the Marching Musical Storm plays every home football game, most home basketball games, parades, and exhibitions across the country, with trips to Philadelphia, Memphis, and Oklahoma City. Its rallying poem, by DeDe King, is pure attitude: "Drums like thunder rolling through the sky... Please don't fret. You have been warned. To go take cover, because here comes THE STORM!!!" The band's history includes a pioneering milestone, the first woman to direct any HBCU marching band, and a recent rebuild that tripled its membership.
