THE ORIGINAL HBCU MARCHING BAND SHOWCASE
A BATTLE LIKE NO OTHER
HBOB 2025 was an unforgettable experience, packed with moments you had to see to believe.
Six incredible bands lit up the field, GloRilla delivered a show-stopping performance, and a surprise Drumline reunion featuring Nick Cannon and Orlando Jones rocked the stadium, as we celebrated the SIX BANDS and SIX SOUNDS that turned SoFi Stadium out.
HBCU alumni, fans, celebs, and the Los Angeles community came together to witness greatness as this epic display of HBCU culture and BIG BAND ENERGY took over the West Coast. Watch the video below to relive the hype!
Honda Battle of the Bands wasn’t just about the music—it made history with the Black College Expo, powered by the National College Resources Foundation!
Held on the SoFi Stadium campus, this college fair drew over 20,000 attendees, connecting students with top HBCUs, on-the-spot admissions, and life-changing scholarship opportunities worth thousands.
Education, empowerment, and endless possibilities—all in one unforgettable event!
