Shaw University’s “Platinum Sound” Marching Band is Featured in National Advertising Campaign

For decades, Platinum Sound Marching Band has been a staple at Shaw University, one of the oldest Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) in the nation. To support Platinum Sound’s tradition of bringing joy to sports fans and the local community, McDonald’s USA and its local Owner/Operators surprised the Band with a $100,000 grant on Feb. 19 during the University’s Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament (CIAA) send-off ceremony.
