SIGMA America is the official lens sponsor of the Southern University Marching Band. The group, popularly known as “The Human Jukebox”, is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This HBCU marching band has performed at four presidential inaugurations, is featured in Lizzo’s “Good as Hell” music video, and is widely recognized as one of the most captivating and entertaining university marching bands in the United States.

In this video, Southern University Marching Band Media Director Garrett M. Edgerson and his team share how SIGMA lenses had a tremendous impact on the overall quality of their on-field performance capture during the 2021-22 school year.
