South Carolina State University's Marching 101 Band wowed the Lucas Oil Stadium crowd Sunday, Sept. 25, 2022, during halftime at the NFL's showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and the Kansas Chiefs in Indianapolis, Indiana.


SC State also was represented by at least two Bulldog alumni. Darius “Shaquille” Leonard is a Colts linebacker, and  Ted Crews is the Chiefs' executive vice president of communications.


For more than 100 years, the Marching 101 Band has performed for sellout crowds across the nation.

 

The band has performed at such national football stadiums as the Mercedes Benz Stadium at the halftime show of the Atlanta Falcons. In December, the Marching 101 played at that same stadium for the Cricket Celebration Bowl, cheering on the Bulldogs as they captured the National HBCU Football Championship.


The Marching 101’s stellar resume also includes a halftime performance with the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets.
