HBCU Buzz’s Top 5 HBCU Bands Poll 2025 Now Live!

Top 5 HBCU Bands Poll 2025

Calling all HBCU students, alumni, and community members! It’s that time of year again when we pay tribute to the musical powerhouses that elevate the spirit of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. HBCU Buzz is excited to announce the launch of our Top 5 HBCU Bands Poll 2025, where you can cast your vote for your favorite marching band through Jan. 31.

More Than Just Music 

HBCUs have a rich tradition of showcasing the Black community’s pride, culture, and heritage through their vibrant marching bands. These bands are not only instrumental during football games but also play a vital role in homecoming celebrations, parades, and cultural events throughout the year. Their performances unite people and fill stadiums with music that resonates long after the final note.

Every beat of the drums and every note played on the horns tells a story—a story of resilience, unity, and joy. Whether it’s the high-energy renditions of popular songs at a game or the captivating choreography that leaves audiences in awe, HBCU bands inspire pride and camaraderie among students, alumni, and families alike.

Band Together For Your Alma Mater

Now it’s your turn to be heard by participating in this poll! Voting is simple— select your favorite HBCU band from the list below. You can vote once every 24 hours, so be sure to return daily and rally your fellow students and alums to do the same! The deadline to submit your votes is Jan 31.

Join us as we recognize HBCU bands’ contributions to our schools and community. Who will claim a spot in the Top 5? It’s up to you! Winners will be announced on Feb. 3. Let the countdown to crowning the top bands begin!
