The Grammy's are going down TOMORROW and you won't want to miss a MOMENT of the festivities! Beyonce and Jay-Z are slated to open the FETE and there will be performances by Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore and MORE SURPRISES.  But before that we have to SEAT all these lovely CELEBS right.  We got some of the seating arrangements for the likes of Beyonce, Jay-Z, Madonna, The Beetles and many more.  Find out where your fave is seated!
Jay-Z & Beyonce will be on the FRONT ROW after their performance with Drake not too far behind.  Miguel, Daft Punk and Timbaland are a little further back. Let's hope Miguel does not try to 'JUMP SEATS'.  He's not too good at that JUMPING thing.



 So the magnificent Madonna is seated BEHIND Katy Perry??!  Wow!  That should be INTERESTING!

Throwback: #Honda Battle of the Bands #BOB2013 RECAP! [video]

Posted: 25 Jan 2014 09:09 AM PST


The annual Honda Battle of The Bands 2014 goes down today at The GeorgiaDome and before I give you the RECAP on that, let's TAKE it BACK to last year's BIG SHOW!!



*THROWBACK*




I am SO SORRY for the fans and alumni missed the 2013 Honda Battle of the Bands on yesterday!  The Georgia Dome was ROCKING as if the Falcons were playing!!
Historically Black College and University marching bands rocked the Georgia Dome with dynamic performances on Saturday at the 11th annual Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase.

The unparalleled pageantry, musicianship and camaraderie of the HBCU marching band experience was on full display with spirited performances by Albany State University, Alcorn State University, Bethune-Cookman University, Edward Waters College, Jackson State University, North Carolina A&T University, Tennessee State University and Winston-Salem State University.
For the 1st time, The B.O.B showcased a dance-off between participating HBCU dance teams which used songs selected by fan vote via social media. Just my opinion, the ladies of Bethune Cookman and Winston-Salem State gave the other ladies a RUN FOR THEIR MONEY, whipping all of that 'Indian-Remy' hair around, and Edward Waters College, SHOW STOPPING, Purple Passion and Purple Thunder showed that BIG GIRLS can 'GET DOWN' too!!


Additionally, fans helped amp up the "house party" theme in two dance contests presented by official presenting sponsor, Verizon Wireless: one for individual fans to show off their best moves on the Georgia Dome field; the other for couples who wanted to dance in an iconic "Soul Train" line-style contest.

And if that wasn't enough, Grammy-winning recording artist, actress, Brandy LIT up the stage with some of her classics that included, "What about Us", "Full Moon", and her new hits, "Wildest Dreams" and the Bangladesh-produced, 'Put it Down'!

"The Honda Battle of the Bands not only provides a national stage to showcase the talent of these outstanding student musicians, but also the success of the music education programs at each school," said Marc Burt, assistant vice president, Office of Inclusion and Diversity for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Honda is honored to support these programs with grants that each school receives for participating in the program."


******

The Honda Battle of the Bands Invitational Showcase is the largest and most popular music event of its kind. Widely known to fans as "The Honda," the Showcase not only serves as a platform to highlight and celebrate the heritage and showmanship of HBCU marching bands, but also stands as the only national music scholarship program dedicated to supporting HBCU music education programs. The eight qualifying marching bands each earned a $20,000 grant for their school's music education programs, along with an all-expense paid trip to perform at the Invitational Showcase in Atlanta.

All of the BANDS did EXCEPTIONAL.  Coming from an HBCU band program, it's not EASY to maintain your academics and also keep up with the rigors of being on a successful HBCU band as well.  It's TOUGH, but these students PERSONIFIED  dedication, talent and SPIRIT!  See you NEXT YEAR 'B.O.B.!!!
