First Day At A HBCU TikTok ( @lau.alexandria ) 

If this wasn’t Howard University for me 😂😂🙌🏽

"What you are witnessing is a reenactment of true events. The places and names have been changed to protect the innocent. " - Confessions of an Ex Drum Major/trumpet player

I’ve never seen band instruments displayed by house hold items so well

The drum majors look like they are part of an usher song🤣

I’m convinced she played every one of those positions irl cos this was too spot on ma’am !! 😭😭

I’m dead...especially at all the different household items she uses. I was dead at the chair!!! 😂😂😂

That move with the Cymbals was on point ✊🏾💪🏾🙌🏾

The fact she changes clothes for every position 💀

POV: Your here because this was in your youtube stories 😙✌🏼

Yo the creativity in the reimagining of household items as instruments 😂😂😂. Let's talk about the dog being the person walking in front of your camera on campus🤣.

The dog is like “what’s going on? Are you okay?” 🐕😂😂😂😂

Home girl actually went out and bought a real trombone for this skit lmao

The tuba chair is awesome

What about the umbrella 🌂 trombone???🥴🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣

This should not be this accurate

FAM, how have I NEVER attended a HBCU and I can relate to this lmao the accuracy

The poor Dog 🐕 is wondering: “WTH is she doing”??? Possibly waiting to see if she’s having a seizure & he needs to run for “Help”!!! 🤣😂 Good Video & accurate!!! 💗

The dog just watching like: “Girl tf is u doing?”👁👄👁

Dog is like: MA’AM...THE BOWL

I lost it when she popped up with the chair on her head 😂😂😂

It’s the dog for me

Just got off the phone with the dog... He clearly loves her but he's sick of her foolishness 😂😂😂

😭😭😭 The dog is like “TF going on with my momma?!”

This deserves some kind of MTV/BET award. Category: Most Creative Artist Them damn cymbals, that umbrella, and that epic chair performance...

I’m convinced that woodwinds are useless bc we ain’t never included😭

So nobody’s gonna talk about the “crabs”? 😂

I love my black people we go through so much and we still have a great since humor! We are so creative w what we have.

The knee bend on the tuba part killed me 😂😂 everybody swear they cranking’ when the knees get to bending 😂

The "freshman's" face 😭, just gullible and goofy af...I can't stand her 🤣😆

Drum majors always do the absolute most they can. Lmao

The dog said, “I’m the school mascot!” Can’t leave the doggo out!! Lol

As someone who has marched before, this is 100% true. The absolute insane energy is completely real, and if you don’t experience it, I seriously doubt you’d think this was a thing

If you go to any college that is known for their marching band, this is what you will see. This video is so accurate. 😂😂😂

😂😂the flashbacks. As a former majorette, the first thing they teach you is how to pose when you sit. Joy used to have us sit in those chairs for hours pointing our feet until everybody got it right. Practice would be over by the time we got it right.😂😂then we’d learn hand movements, posture, and how to follow the beat of the band for weeks after that. It took a while before we actually learned choreography. 🤣🤣🤣ah, I miss those girls.

Boy this is 100% accurate. Also, went to a majority black well funded high school. The same

The dog is a concerned child like ... "Ma, mama you ok??" 🤣

I just love how her dog is in every scene looking at her like what’s going on hahahahaha

Why the drum majors always so F R E A K Y

Yo lmao 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣yo she was dead on point, coming from an hbcu drummer- she killed it. Round of applause👏🏽💯💯💯

It’s only HBCU’s that have the band playing all the time too😂

I just died!!! Only TRUE HBCU MARCHERS understand!!! AAMU STAND UP!!!!🐶🐶

But why she hit the “Take You Down” face when she was the drum major?😭😭 and she’s super cute😍😍

As a Howard student I can confirm that this is indeed true

This was my experience in high school! I didn’t go to a 4 year college, but I did attend a HBCHS(Historically Black High School)! 😂

I Stand her 😂🤣😂🤣 Da TUBA CHAIR AND SHE ON POINT WIT IT 2😂🤣😍👍

Aye she was on POINT with the cymbals, she was hitting every beat

I fell out when she popped up with the chair on her head 😂😂😂. I’m weak asf omg. Like this is why to long of a quarantine man.

She was going in on that Cymbals part 😂

Historically and Factually on point, as well as hilarious 😂😂

It’s the pot cover cymbals and the dinner chair tuba🪑 for me tho... 😂🤣😂🤣😂

“Issa tuba thang shawty!” 😂

She played the hell out of that chair 😂😂😂

She's so creative with these instruments though! I just love black people. We do the most 😂😂🤣

The attention to detail. It's- It's simply immaculate.

Good job sis! The different outfits really made it funny!

THE TUBA TOOK ME TF OUT OH MY- 🤣🤣😭😭😭

The fact that this is spot on. Has me screaming 😂😂

Yooo I love the dog, he lookin like “bruh, wat is you doin”

Her face while grinding gets me everytime

Yoooo her drum majors got me crying 😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Edit:And the cymbals 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

It’s the chair for tubas for me 😂😂😂 but this is hella accurate

Here in Louisiana, you see this type of performance of the different high schools during mardi gras parades. She's so accurate down to the facial expressions 😂

Damn she got the mug on the cymbols 😆

Who else watched this on repeat hyped asf 😂🔥🔥🔥 She on point too 😌👌🏽

The tuba got me 😂🤣😂🤣 well put vid 💯

She over here movin like Ciara was all i was focused on 😍

As a tuba player, this is so.... Definitely true lol

I didn’t go to an HBCU but this was DEFINITELY my high school who learned everything from HBCUs 🤷🏽‍♀️😂💕

Yassss this made my day! There’s nothing on earth like a HBCU band! 😍

Peep the dog came out for the majorettes 👀

As a symbol player, I can confirm that there are no lies being told. 😂

"I had 2 older brothers growing up, nothing can take me down" vibes

I ain't even go to college and I already know this accurate pffft

As a Marching Band member, I can say this is 100% accurate

That’s Straight JSU if you from Mississippi then you know what I’m talm bout😂💙

This is exactly how I remember it!! What a time to be alive 💕

The dog photobombing during the vid is the best part.

As a former band member and an HBCU grad, I approve this video! 😆 The Chair tuba and the umbrella trombone!!😂

I hollered so loud when it said crab and she started picking up the chair 😂😂 #NailedIt 🙌🙌✊

The memories! 😂 Looking at the drum major like "So are you trying to get me in the band or trying to get me to get me in bed?" 🤣🤣

🦀 everybody has worn that title in band. Be strong new crabs. Be strong 💪🏿

Man this Video is Dope !!!! From start to End 🔥🔥🔥I’m not Even going to Lie I watch it over and over again several times.🏆✅

I thought when the dog popped out she would have said “the mascot” lol

Ya’ll the dog that showed up in the background like “the fuck are you doin?” Got me so hard-

THE ACCURACY IS SO SPOT ON

The dogs just a try standing there like " I think my human is broken" ☺️☺️🤣

I wish I could've gone to an HBCU

This is what we call good content on tiktok nothing staged

*me with my cymbals grinding on the sofa* : excuse me, im trying to keep cadence.

OH my goodness. Loved your tiktok. I'm not even heavy into tiktok yet and came across your video, I love a good laugh you did your thing baby girl my stomach is in knots, still hilarious, everything was funny and fine! Lol all your express helped and flowed, I'm about to watch it again!! Lol the pot lids, the chair on your head boo Lol.

I love the dog being slightly concerned in the background

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❣ Genius! It's the facial expressions while doing the dances for me😅❣🤘🏾

THE DAMN DOG😭🤣

The props that she used shows that her creativity is on another level

this is the most creative thing I’ve ever seen xD

This is too accurate lmao Drummers are in a whole different reality

IM HOLLERIN!!!😂🤣🤣😂 TRUE TRUE

Dog lookin like “she done watched stomp the yard and now she wanna be about this life” 🤣🤣 umbrella trombone was elite tho 💪🏽

Why did the bass drummer outfit remind me of ole boy (GQ) on Drumline? 😂 you took me back!

Yo marching band is a way of life and its intense ❤❤❤
