Terrence Howard Marshal's In Howard Homecoming

As planned, Academy Award-nominated actor Terrence Howard came out to the Howard University Homecoming and donned the appearance of the University band's drum major.

During the festivities, Howard served as the homecoming ambassador and grand marshal at the school’s homecoming football game in Washington, D.C., today (Oct 19).

“I am very excited about participating in Howard University’s legendary Homecoming,” said Terrence. “I am looking forward to celebrating with the students and the distinguished alumni of this great American treasure.”

Sitting in the audience watching Terrence lead the marching band was Sean “Diddy” Combs, is an Howard Alumni, and also watched on with his arm still in a sling. According to Diddy, he just had shoulder surgery from working out too hard. Terrence, now 39, never finished college himself but was admitted to the Pratt Institute in New York. He didn’t complete his education as he had joined his brother on an audition for The Cosby Show and was cast in the role.
