SCSU Band Alumni Show Up in Style
@shantons7 A time was had at South Carolina State University over the weekend!! I didn’t attend an HBCU during my college years (I went to a PWI), so this was my first time going to SCSU Homecoming. My fiancé and his friends were all apart of the band so of course we had to sit right next to the band so they could sing their songs during the football game. I was literally amazed by everything happening around me!
