Styles on the 50

2002
This site was designed to educate and inform all people of the importance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) and Black College Bands. We all know there is nothing like going to a black college football game and viewing a spectacular half-time show that is being performed by a black college band. Some people only look at the dancing movements, but we want to let everyone know that dancing is not what black college bands are all about. It is not easy to march with a black college band; therefore, individuals within these black college bands work very hard. It takes time, hard work, and a lot of dedication. Everyone needs to know that these black college bands can not only "get down", but they can also play. So, as you explore "Styles on the 50", try not to get too excited by what you see, but try to inform and educate yourself with the information we have provided for you.
