As bands and floats line up for Grambling’s Homecoming Parade, a festive atmosphere prevails. The parade always begins with the world-famous Grambling State University Marching Tiger Band leading the way down Main Street toward the campus.

Grambling, Louisiana Early Morning

Grambling, Louisiana streets can look deceptively empty on Grambling State University Homecoming morning, but that usually changes rather quickly, as people line the streets waiting for the parade. This year, it was extremely cold, but people still turned out.

AnWhat Entertainment and @HollyHoodBayBay @ Grambling Homecoming 2011

The aftermath of the Grambling homecoming football game is always something of a custom car show, and this year was no exception. On the site of the old Martha Adams Hall, I ran into my homeboys from An What Entertainment in Shreveport, including DJ Hollyhood BayBay, who were sponsoring a party for a motorcycle club. Further down on RWE Jones Drive were the people from Louisiana Cash’s camp who were selling T-shirts that read “B_tch, I’m From Louisiana”. Getting out of the traffic nightmare and back towards Monroe proved to be difficult. 

Grambling struggled with Mississippi Valley through the whole football game, but finally won in overtime, and a win is a win, so there was a big celebration afterwards.

This year’s Grambling homecoming football game was against Mississippi Valley State University, and the Delta Devils brought their band, so there was a certain degree of battling between the bands during the game.
