I have to give props where they are due.Ohio State University Marching "Buceye"Band recently did a tribute to Micheal Jackson halftime show that was the best fieldshow I've seen in 30 years.. Check youtube for the footage,cuz I don't know how to upload video on here.. It was also on facebook.. If you are a true "bandhead,"then you will definitely appreciate the execution of this entire fieldshow(HBCU or not).. You have too see it to believe it.. I have a new respect for the OSU band.. Wish more HBCU bands would take their fieldshows this serious,instead of just sitting in the stands and trying to blow the lights out allnight..

In regards to Ohio States show, Christy from the 5th commented on Facebook that FAMU had been making Stick Figures on the field for years... and they have. Stick man shoots a basketball, hits a baseball bat etc.
I dug Ohio States show but its not anything I wouldn't expect to see from a Tennessee State or Old School FAMU.
I do agree with you though, since the 90's some HBCU Halftime Shows have become predictable and less creative.
I saw that fieldshow that FAMU did @ SU with the stick figures(86' or 88'),cause I was at that game..OSU didn't make stick figures,they made a full-bodied Michael Jackson do the moonwalk across the field.. That was a far cry from what FAMU did...Not the same at all...

man u cant compare stick figures to a full figure body, that stick figure stuff was cheesy looking! now for ohio st they are great at creating figures but they are not great at drilling......HBCU are more of battle bands that likes to go at each other, ohio st is totally different they don't battle they put most or all there emphasis on their field shows which are great, I just don't think we give our HBCU bands the credit at what they do
it was good.
