The halftime show at an HBCU football game is sometimes the best part of the game. And while Morgan State University, scheduled to face off against the Hampton University Pirates on Oct. 17 at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore, is undefeated in the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference and 3-2 overall, the halftime show looks to be especially entertaining.
That’s because inside an office crowded with musical ephemera on Morgan State University’s campus in West Baltimore, Melvin Miles Jr. is preparing for the homecoming game. One of the many school bands he directs will take the field at halftime, the Morgan State University Marching Band, also known as the Magnificent Marching Machine. Miles is the director of university bands.
