Washington, D.C. | FOLKS, Please complete your due diligence before publishing a lie regarding the Florida A&M University Incomparable Marching 100 Band. It takes a lifetime to build a positive legacy, but just a few minutes to tarnish it with a false statement . The FAMU Marching 100 did not participate in Ronald Reagan Inauguration Parade in 1981, based on the following official receipt:We won!!!! pic.twitter.com/q1Zd7FGwhL

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Digital Library Collections, Collection: Presidential Inaugural Committee, 1980-1981:
Records | Folder Title: Final Reports: Group XV – Inaugural Parade | (1 of 2) | Box: 24, PAGES 32-35, Southern America Participants. LINK: https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/public/2022-07/40-692-024-006-2022.pdf
As shown on page 32, the HBCU participant was Southern University Human Jukebox Marching Band. You owe Rattlers everywhere an apology for your false posting. Please do not use FAMU to justify MVSU Band Winter Performance Schedule. (beepbeep)
NOW THE SECOND PART:
No it’s an inaugurations of an administration that threatens the existence of HBCUs, freedom, health, and existence of those that are already disenfranchised. Sympathizing and normalizing racism and facism is an even bigger problem. Go all the way to hell!

An inaugural parade is just that—a parade. It’s an honor for any band to participate in this celebration of American music and pageantry. HBCUs have known this for decades and are no strangers to marching in Republican parades. Check the receipts ⬇️
