There are dozens of events billed as “Battle of The Bands” around the country, but the Queen City Battle of The Bands in Charlotte is becoming one of the most anticipated.
The event, set to take place in venerable Memorial Stadium in Uptown Charlotte, is a real crowd pleaser that had folks waiting for half an hour as rain poured last year. And produced this now-legendary moment in Gameday history.
The initial buzz of this year’s event was over the fact that North Carolina A&T’s Blue And Gold Marching Machine was not among the lineup. A&T is the de facto home team in Charlotte where it draws a significant portion of its student population and many alumni make their home.
Will the event still be as big without the BGMM? Only time will tell.
