NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Tennessee State University’s Aristocrat of Bands (AOB) is set to make history once again as they prepare to perform at a one-of-a-kind event. The university announced the AOB will be the first collegiate marching band to open for the Country Music Association (CMA) Fest this summer, the university said in a release. Following the festival, the band will perform at the White House in celebration of Juneteenth. This will be the second time the band has played in the nation’s capital. “We are honored to make history yet again by performing for the CMAs and even more ecstatic to be invited by the First Lady of the United States to celebrate Juneteenth for the first time as a nation and during Black Music Month,” AOB Director Reginald McDonald said. www.wsmv.com/2023/06/06/tsu-marching-band-perform-cma-fest-white-house/

DRUM ROLL, PLEASE...
Join our Tennessee State University Aristocrat of Bands (AOB) as they make history as the first collegiate HBCU marching band to open for the Country Music Association (CMA) Fest on Thursday, June 8, in Nashville.
You have two opportunities to join in the festivities and view the best band in the land! First, you can catch AOB as they lead the parade processional down the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge at 9 a.m. Next, you can catch a free performance at the Chevy Stage at Riverfront Park at 9:40 a.m. Both events are free and open to the public. You can learn more about the CMA Fest here.
