College Marching Band Spells ‘Trayvon’ During Saturday’s Halftime Show
Excerpted from AL.com JACKSON, Mississippi – During halftime at Alabama State’s Saturday night game against Jackson State, the ASU marching band took the field and spelled out the name “Trayvon.”
Several people who attended the matchup between the two historically black universities tweeted photos of the commemoration of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who was fatally shot last year by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Southwestern Athletic Conference Commissioner Duer Sharp mentioned the tribute, along with others who expressed pride and respect for the band’s tribute.
Despite an early two-touchdown lead, the Alabama State Hornets fell 30-23 to the Jackson State Tigers.
