2018 is not the first year Honda has organized an event to support students who attend Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCU's for short. In fact, for 15+ years, the automaker has planned, organized, and put on the annual "Honda Battle of the Bands" competition. This yearly competition returns January 27, 2018, with a theme of "March On: Dream Together."
The general public is encouraged to visit the Honda Battle of the Bands website to vote for Historically Black Colleges and Universities who will be eligible to compete. Eight finalists will be chosen among HBCU's like Albany State University, Benedict College, Hampton University, Kentucky State University, Morehouse College, Prairie View A&M University - among others.
