The Home Of "The Best Band in the CIAA

The Virginia State University Trojan Explosion Marching Band is comprised of talented instrumentalists, Essence of Troy Dancers, Satin Divas Flags, Troy Elegance Twirlers, and the Commanders of Troy Drum Majors. As the largest student organization on the campus of Virginia State University, the marching band serves as the most visible and sought-after ambassador for the institution. Known as “The Best Band in the CIAA,” the Trojan Explosion has performed at numerous Honda Battle of the Bands, BET’s College Hill, NBC's Today's Show, Gubernatorial Parades and most notably, the first drumline to perform at the White House. Our former band members have become successful in various fields, including music, education, medicine, entertainment, real estate, law, law enforcement, the military, and business. The Virginia State University Trojan Explosion Marching Band is a true representation of the VSU motto: Greater Happens Here.
