The 2019 Cracker Barrel National Battle of the Bands will take place Sunday, September 1, 2019 at the NRG Stadium, and more than 2,000 members from eight of the nation’s top HBCU bands will celebrate the culture of their universities at what will be the largest African American event in Texas.
The History
The “National Battle of the Bands” event was created to be the nation’s best kick-off to the Fall marching band season by showcasing new performances of the country’s top marching bands. This event starts the season off with a BANG! It offers unmatched exposure to the marching bands of Historically Black College’s & Universities and demonstrates its broad appeal with attendance by a multitude of demographics- teens, young adults, families, college educated professionals, blue collar working class and even the active elderly.
Webber Marketing, in partnership with the Harris County Houston Sports Authority (HCHSA), worked to establish Houston, Texas as the new host city for the annual event.
The National Battle of the Bands, formerly known as the Queen City Battle of the Bands, was moved to Houston, Texas for its inaugural showcase under a new name, in a new city, with new partners. This year’s band line-up includes
Texas Southern University, Ocean of Soul Marching Band
North Carolina Central University, The Sound Machine Marching Band
Prairie View A&M University, Marching Storm Band
Talladega College, Marching Tornado Band
Southern University, Human Jukebox
Miles College, Purple Marching Machine
Tennessee State University, Aristocrat of Bands
Florida A&M University, Marching 100.
