Description:



This cultural piece checks out one of the latest styles in band music.
Morgan State University, an HBCU - Historic Black College and University, is home to The Magnificent Marching Machine, the college's marching band. The marching band incorporates the latest hip hop music as well as r and b classics into its repertoire...plus, it has a remarkable field presence. This very modern marching band sets
modern music from the likes of Chaka Khan to Kanye West into
a 100 plus member marching band...often re-making electronically mixed sounds into the big band compositions you'll find at halftime.
