ASU Marching Band Part of Online Mini-Series
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.
