#SILENTSHOWTIME

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Howard chapter.

During the Bison’s winning Halloween game against Savannah State University the Showtime Marching Band wore all black, instead of their routine red, white, and blue suits. These student musicians took to the field, announcing that they would be taking a stand against Howard University. Until the university provides answers about band budgets and scholarships they are refusing to allow Howard to use their musicianship.
