The Marching Storm is being featured in an eight-episode docuseries premiering on the CW network in January 2022.

The Marching Storm has been named the top Division 1 HBCU marching band in the country by ESPN’s The Undefeated.

“It is an honor to be validated by a panel of my peers especially in the age of YouTube and instant gratification for everything,” Tim Zachery, director of bands at Prairie View A&M, said. “We have taken the charge of making our students aware of what they do well and areas that they can improve on. ESPN [The Undefeated] gives us a platform to use as a measuring stick, not against others but ourselves.”

According to the series synopsis, March dives into the rich history and legacy of Prairie View A&M University and follows the journeys of energetic college students who juggle the responsibilities of maintaining a high-grade point average and performing with one of the most prestigious HBCU bands in the country.

Executive produced by Cheryl Horner McDonough, Jamail Shelton, Shari Scorca, and Marcel Fuentes, March is the latest project by CW putting the spotlight on HBCU life.

The series is set to debut January 24 at 8 pm.
