“The Storm” captivated thousands at the 16th annual Honda Battle of the Bands (HBOB) Invitational Showcase in Atlanta on January 27. This was the 8th year for the band to perform at the event.

“This was a culmination of an outstanding season. I mean, the laws of band apply, where you get a brand new band every fall, and with it comes a new personality. However, we love being able to mold young people into this fine band that we call the Marching Storm every year…and this year was one heck of a year! It will definitely be one to talk about for a long time,” said Director of Bands Dr. Timmey Zachery.

Other participating bands at HBOB included: Alabama A&M University, Alabama State University, Bethune-Cookman University, Hampton University, Miles College, North Carolina A&T State University, and Tennessee State University.
