Band spotlight

The Marching Jags — Soundwave Marching Band

Band founded 2018

One of the newest band programs in HBCU life — a two-year community college with a full marching band is nearly unheard of. Beyond the Marching Jags, the program fields a Concert Band, a Pep Band, and small ensembles, with a Jazz Ensemble in the works. The band plays local parades, high school and college events, and campus showcases alongside the Jazzy Jags and JBelles dance lines. Band Service Awards (audition-required) recognize students with extraordinary musical or academic skill.
