Golden Delight is the auxiliary of the NC A&T State University Blue and Gold Marching Machine. We are proud to be the first and only combined auxiliary in HBCU marching bands! From our high energy dance features and visual twirling pieces to dynamic numbers in the stands and colorful uniform choices we are always sure to be a crowd pleaser! We are nicknamed "the Sweethearts of the MEAC" because these women are the perfect intersection of "girl next door" meets "fierce" and we love it!
