High-stepping drum majors, meticulous drumlines and a bellowing brass section are all a part of the black college marching band culture. Heart-pounding hard-knock hits like Cameo’s “Talkin’ Out the Side of Your Neck” and Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” ring out from the band sections on opposite sides of the field, making the thousands of fans in attendance bob their heads, stomp their feet and sing out loud.

Black college bands have been the best part of football games for years. Many fans buy tickets to enter the stadium from the time the second quarter ends only to leave again when the third quarter begins. As said in the movie “Drumline,” “Halftime is showtime!”
