5 Things You Didn’t Know About Alabama State Homecoming

🎷 Hornet Nation Don’t Play About Homecoming

Alabama State University throws one of the liveliest, most fashionable, and most Blackity Black Homecomings in the SWAC — but you already knew that. What you might not know are the hidden gems, deep-rooted traditions, and unforgettable vibes that make ASU Homecoming truly iconic.

Whether you're rocking maroon or gold, catching up with line sisters, or prepping your playlist for the yard, here are 5 things you might not know about Alabama State’s big week.

💃🏾 1. The Honey Beez Don’t Miss

You’ve seen majorettes — but you’ve never seen anything like the Honey Beez, ASU’s legendary plus-sized dance team. Known for their confidence, charisma, and crowd-slaying choreography, the Honey Beez bring the house down at every game and parade.

If you’re lucky enough to catch them live during Homecoming? Just know that towel’s gonna be flung in the air after every 8-count.

🎺 2. The Mighty Marching Hornets Are Showstoppers

The Mighty Marching Hornets aren’t just a band — they’re a movement. Their drumline precision, dynamic arrangements, and synchronized energy electrify the stadium and bring the whole crowd to their feet. And their Homecoming halftime show? Worthy of a standing ovation (and a sweat towel).

🍗 3. The Food at the Tailgate Is Different

Southern hospitality is alive and sizzling at ASU. Between the rib tips, smoked turkey legs, fried catfish, and secret family mac-and-cheese recipes, ASU’s tailgate might be the best meal you have all year. Just don’t forget your towel — you’ll need it for the heat and the sauce.

🎉 4. The City of Montgomery Shows Up and Shows Out

ASU Homecoming doesn’t just live on campus — the whole city gets in on it. Local DJs, businesses, and vendors know when it’s Homecoming week, and they bring their A-game. If you’re not at a block party or alumni mixer, are you even doing it right?

🖤 5. There’s Pride in Every Detail

From custom shirts to bedazzled boots and jacket patches that tell a story — ASU alumni don’t come to play. Every detail matters, and a personalized towel is the perfect way to show your love for your class year, org, or HBCU legacy.
