TSU's Grammy-winning Aristocrat of Bands to make Grand Ole Opry debut Marching bands have a storied history on the Grand Ole Opry's stage. However, Grammy-winning marching bands — especially those from historically Black colleges and universities — do not. That all changes on Tuesday, April 4 when Tennessee State University's recent Best Roots Gospel Award-winning Aristocrat of Bands debuts at the Grand Ole Opry. The band's legacy of firsts — the first HBCU band to appear on national television, in 1955, the first HBCU band to perform at a presidential inaugural parade, in 1961 and the first band to play on the White House lawn, in 2016 — now expands to the 4,400 seat venue off Briley Parkway. www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/03/30/tsus-grammy-winning-aristocrat-of-bands-to-make-grand-ole-opry-debut/70063091007/
