Grambling State is perhaps best known for three things: Coach Eddie Robinson, quarterback-turned-coach Doug Williams and its famous marching band.

Arizona has a history with the band — both bands performed at the first-ever Super Bowl.

Saturday, the two bands stood side-by-side and recreated the famed map of the United States map, which Arizona’s band always does during the national anthem.

Grambling’s band also performed at halftime.
