Fan Fest: Who to look for at #BayouClassic17

Every year, there are festivities and fun as two prominent HBCUs, Southern University and A&M College and Grambling University, come together and head down to the cultural hub of New Orleans, Louisiana to participate in the 44th Annual Bayou Classic.
The long schedule is filled with events and fun filled activities for alumni, students, and some open to the general public.
One of the most exciting events of the week long saga is the Battle of the Bands, featuring the various Greek organizations which kicks off the schedule on Friday night.
Senior, Business Management major, Javonte Kelly from Lake Providence, LA shared his excitement saying, “I would really love to see Moneybagg Yo, YFN Lucci, or Travis Scott perform live.”
The Q93.3 radio station x iHeartRadio 2017 Fan Festival event will take place on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at Champions Square on Lasalle St.
The pre-game performance will be held from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and is open to the public, which will be fun for all ages.
The Fan Fest will be located in the center area, just as you prepare to enter the Superdome. There will be major, live performances from the official headliner, Atlanta rapper T.I., “Cut Her Off” and “Comfortable” rapper K. Camp, and Atlanta native, R&B singer, Jacquees.
There will be a wide range of talent at this year’s Fan Fest as well as many other events to lookout for throughout the week.
Sophomore, Business Management major, from Baton Rouge, Angel Landor, stated, “I would love to see SZA, not only is she a great song writer but she also has a beautiful stage presence when she performs.”
New Orleans native, Young Greatness, who is known for his street smash “Moolah”, will also be performing at Fan Fest.
