The two marquee HBCU football games on the Week 3 slate were the annual BoomBox Classic, featuring Jackson State and Southern, and the traditional Southern Heritage Classic, featuring Tennessee State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
However, given the number of other stellar performances on tap from other HBCU bands around the country, the band performances from the SHC did not make the cut.
Instead, our weekly top 5 list includes performances from the bands of Benedict, Norfolk State, and North Carolina A&T.
