šŸŽŗāœØ Marching 100 Honors Michael Jackson’s Legacy | FAMU

  • Florida A&M University’s legendary marching band, Marching 100, has taken center stage in a nationwide tribute honoring the pop icon, Michael Jackson, ahead of the release of the biographical film MICHAEL by Lionsgate, set to hit theaters on April 24th.

  • In the 1-min and 50‑sec. promo, the band delivers a powerful rendition of MJ’s classic ā€œDon’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough,ā€ led by the university’s first female head drum major, Oluwamodupe ā€œDupeā€ Oloyede. Fun Fact: She was part of the opening performance of ā€œI Lied to Youā€ at the 98th Academy Awards. | Tal Dem

  • This song earned MJ his first of 13 Grammys on Feb. 27, 1980. The five‑time‑platinum single also topped the Billboard Hot 100 and won ā€œFavorite Soul/R&B Singleā€ at the 1980 American Music Awards.

  • This initiative highlights how Jackson’s groundbreaking artistry still resonates, especially at HBCUs where music and performance shape community identity.

  • Other HBCU bands, including Southern University’s Human Jukebox and Jackson State’s Sonic Boom of the South, are also featured in the tribute series, inviting fans and communities to celebrate and share their performances online.
