Congrats are in order for Alabama A&M University's Marching Maroon & White Band as they prepare to take their talents to New York City 🥁⁠ ⁠ The band, who prides themselves on 'demonstrating excellence,' will represent HBCUs as the sole Black band performing at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. ⁠ Band director Carlton J. Wright revealed that he knew about it for a while but couldn’t disclose it to the rest of the band.⁠ ⁠ “Well, for me, I found out a couple of months before these guys, I had to keep it a big secret."⁠ ⁠ Swipe 👉🏾 to see one of the aamudivas and the aamuband's recent performances at the Magic City Classic in Alabama⁠. // #alabamaam #HBCU #MacysThankgiving
