Other Activities
Of the many festivities held in conjunction with the game, the most well-known and well-attended is the two-part Battle of the Bands, where both universitys' marching bands (The Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band, also known as "The World Famed," and the Southern University Marching Band, also known as "The Human Jukebox") perform. Following the official Greek show, the two renowned bands stage elaborately choreographed performances on the Friday night before the game. The second part is during the football games' halftime show. There is no official judge for the band events. Other festivities include a golf tournament, a Thanksgiving Day Parade which was brought back in 2011, a Grambling vs. Southern beauty pageant and a job fair for graduating students of both schools.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“As life developed, I faced each problem as it came along. As my activities and work broadened and reached out, I never tried to shirk. I tried never to evade an issue. When I found I had something to do—I just did it.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
