MONTGOMERY, Alabama - Alabama State University’s Mighty Marching Hornet Band has recently entered into an agreement with NBTV Online Live Media Network to star and perform in the "Magic Before the Classic" mini-series.
According to ASU Band Director James Oliver, filming will begin on August 5 at the start of the band's preseason camp and will culminate with the first "Battle of the Bands" between ASU vs. Alabama A&M University Bands in Birmingham, at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center Friday, October 26, the night before the Magic City Classic football game.
The agreement will net the ASU program $125,000 over a five-year period, in addition to royalties from online sales.
“I am truly excited about this deal,” Oliver said. “It is a major accomplishment for the band program and our great university.”
Funds from the show will be used to support the Marching Band program.
