HBCU Band Spotlight 3 | Hampton University "The Force"

HBCU Marching Band Spotlight 3| Hampton University “The Force”-The Hampton University Marching Band “The Force” is a grand example of the positive impact of music on students engagement and success. The Force provides experiences, which assist students in their ability to assume responsibility, establish a professional attitude, gain self-confidence, develop a humanistic attitude toward life, become proficient in their area of musical specialization, appreciate diverse cultures, and contribute positively to the world around them. The Force is most often found serving alongside the Hampton University football team on Saturday game days. The cadence of the Drum Majors leading the March of musicians on a mission to perform at their best and make the audience feel their drive in the depths of their chest along with the beat of the S.T.I.C.K.Y Situation drum line. The Ebony Fire dance team and S.I.L.K.Y flag line sway in rhythmic unison, while the crowd watches in awe, mesmerized. Currently, The Force has been invited to perform in the Rome’s New Year Day Parade, in Rome, Italy, on January 1, 2020. The current Director of Bands is Dr. Thomas L. Jones, Jr. For more information, or to donate, please visit “The Force” at www.HUMarchingForce.com.
