Cuatro bandas de música de Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) presentaron un espectáculo durante la Semana HBCU más grande de la historia en Walt Disney World Resort.
El sábado, las bandas de música de Alcorn State, Delaware State, North Carolina A&T y Winston-Salem State sirvieron como grandes mariscales honorarios en múltiples desfiles en Magic Kingdom Park. Emocionaron a los invitados mientras viajaban por Main Street, EE. UU., encabezados nada menos que por el tambor mayor Mickey Mouse, quien mostró sus propios movimientos impresionantes con su característico uniforme de banda de música.
Cada banda de marcha mostró todos los elementos que hacen que una banda de HBCU sea tan única: mecánica de marcha de precisión, equipos de baile de alta energía, tambores majestuosos y los sonidos inconfundibles de la música R&B que encabeza las listas de éxitos.
Luego, el domingo, las mismas bandas de música presentaron un gran espectáculo durante la Batalla de bandas de la semana de HBCU en ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Fue un evento amistoso pero feroz de batalla de bandas que incluyó una emocionante actuación previa al espectáculo de nada menos que el tambor mayor Mickey Mouse, quien deslumbró a la multitud con sus movimientos.
El desfile de bandas en Magic Kingdom Park y Battle of the Bands en el complejo deportivo fueron parte de la Semana HBCU en Walt Disney World. El evento contó con una serie de actividades diseñadas para promover la inscripción en HBCU, incluida una gran feria universitaria que ofrece aceptación en el acto y millones en becas.
La Semana HBCU se llevó a cabo por primera vez en sus cinco años de historia en Walt Disney World en colaboración con la Fundación HBCU, Walt Disney World y Disney on the Yard, una iniciativa enfocada en profundizar el compromiso de Disney con las HBCU.
