ATLANTA — The Alcorn State University Band is called the Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite.
The North Carolina A&T University Band is called the Blue And Gold Marching Sound Machine.
At halftime, A&T went first and threw down a mighty gauntlet, firing up a version of the O’Jay’s “Back Stabbers.” When the Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite followed them, complete with five (!) drum majors, they were more than up to the challenge, even summoning the season with an old Jackson 5 Christmas tune. Make no mistake. This was as much of a contest as the football game surrounding it was.
