Season of the Tiger is a six-part docudrama that follows members of the Grambling State University marching band and football team during the 2005 football season.
Produced by Daftfilms and Black Entertainment Television (BET), the series premiered on April 27, 2006, at 9:30 p.m., with subsequent episodes airing in the same Thursday time slot over the following five weeks.
Filmed in a documentary style, Season of the Tiger focuses on the lives of three marching band members and two football players as they pursue their goals while navigating the challenges of college life. The series is the second BET reality show to spotlight life at a historically black college or university (HBCU)—following College Hill—and the first to highlight the competitive environment of marching bands at HBCUs.
Among those featured in the docudrama is Grambling State standout quarterback and NFL prospect Bruce Eugene.
