It also seems as if this film takes its base from the Battle of the Bands that takes place every year at Bayou Classic time between Southern and Grambling. Being a graduate of Southern (go Jags!) I noticed the Blue and Gold and Black and Gold uniforms in the previews. I have also heard from some of my classmates and friends in the band that the Human Juke Box (Southern) was asked to be in the movie. However, Doc Greggs declined because 1) he didn't want them depicting a fictitious school and 2) he was told that in the movie, the other band would win the competition. Now, its nothing wrong with having pride in the band, but I personally think Doc took it a little too far! Anyway, I've already got my $7.25 to see the movie!
By the way, I am a new soror to the board and will post my info in the appropriate thread!
