Florida A&M’s loss is its worst defeat to an HBCU in school history. Head Coach Willie Simmons described the loss as “embarrassing.” The Rattlers are now 0-2 on the season. Meanwhile, Jackson State gains a pivotal win and will move up to 1-0.
However, the outcome of the game did not stop the fun for fans! The Orange Blossom Classic Battle of the Bands took place on Saturday where fans were able to witness a booming performance from Jackson State Sonic Boom and the mighty FAMU Marching 100s.
Additionally, the event showcased talents from local high school bands from the tri-county area.
We can’t breeze over the fact that the Fan Fest was the best one yet! There were a number of delicious food trucks to stuff your face, OBC Sponsors, and amazing performances on the OBC Fan Fest Soundstage.
