Interesting Documentation I was the Head Drummajor for Alcorn State first Freshman Frm IL. and First Sophomore Head Drummajor Mississippi's over HBCU. And All i Can say it tough hard and it moods you to be a strong individual
GREAT documentary of the making of a Drum Major. I have always enjoyed the Drum Majors in a Marching Band, their rolls are very important. I hope one of my grandson's become a Drum Major when they get older 🤗
Kongratulations to the new drum majors. I've always loved JSU drum majors, arguably the best in the SWAC. Good documentary. Here's to you all, from a MEAC alumnus.
Great Video! I believe 18:56 to 19:06 is the definition of this activity and it parallels everything in life! Well said Tyrique! -Chris Stratton: 2000 Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps Drum Major
Can't hate. This is one hell of a hype video for anyone aspiring to be a JSU drummajor. Especially high schoolers. I'm sold and never wanted to go to JSU or ever be a drummajor. There needs to be more high quality stuff out there like this really representing HBCU band programs.
The best BD ever!I was 16 when I went to my first JSU game back in 1990 when my bro attended JSU.He told me Im gonna like this band.They came thru jammin Get Ready,DT had that band rokking so hard,I wanted to move to Jackson.
Good stuff... was a little surprised Tyriq didn't make the cut. From the footage I saw, he showed a lot of promise, energy and leadership. Congrats to all and have a great season.
Congrats to the 2013 Jackson State University Sonic Boom of The South J5 Drum Major Squad. Much love from a Norfolk State University Marching Spartan Legion Alumni Dizziac.
Good doc for inspiration dedication and drive determine however a good DM Corps is based on professional and dedication to the craft of leadership thru musicianship along with all HBCU work and study harder
WOW!!! I LOVE THIS DOCUMENTARY!!!!! I HAVE A NEW LEVEL OF RESPECT FOR JSU!! I LOVE THE HARD WORK, THE IMPORTANCE OF ACADEMICS AND BAND, THE IMPORTANCE OF LEAADERSHIP AND PERSEVERANCE!!! I WAS SOOOOO ROOTING FOR KAREN, JAMAL, AND TYRIQUE!!!! Man, I LOVE THE BOOM.. If i didnt go to Southern or FAMU I would have went here!! If the band is this serious imagine the teachers and staff!!!! You GEAUX JSU!!!
I have watched this band over and over. Mainly the drum majors. The young man Clincy Harris as well Abraham Duffie... they both are good!!! But Abraham is a soldier as well better leader and drummajor
JSU go hard all the time.I thought Tyriq and other dude were in shoo ins,but I think the others were good too.I know Dowell knows what he is looking for.He been at JSU for a long time.JSU has been good to my family and 12 kins got degrees from JSU.I used to walk the campus at 16 and was lost as hell,lol.But I found my bro dorm and chilled with the Beta's!Thats been over 23 years ago! I like them Rallys burgers,just the one in Jacktown!!!
Hey, man - l was a fat hispanic kid playing lead snare in an ALL BLACK high school - when l saw those HIGH STEPPERS coming in - SHIT WAS GOING DOWN! What an incredible time in my life & to see this here is just so amazing
This process is so intense!!! I've been in marching in a band since 6th grade and I've ALWAYS said the JSU has the best drum majors and this video shows why, Im in band at AAMU and I still say cant nobody touch the J5 keep it up you guys #FellowSWACRespect
I don't believe in cheating but Jamal was robbed I was robbed in high school and gave up my dream and I always wanted to attend JSU and I'm 25 and I still love JSU
When I was a child, I lived down the streets from Jackson State. Even at the age of five, I knew this was a powerful school.
That's amazing to just know! I'm not even from Mississippi but I wanted to be apart of this crew 💯
And I knew at 6yrs old when I frist saw the BOOM I knew there was no other school for me..
see: Kids know more than you think and they watch "everything"
Karen is my inspiration I am the Drum Major at my high school and I strive to be a female Drum Major in college. Thank you Karen :)
i didnt realize being drum major was this competitive
Loved the JSU making if a drum major! There need to be more documentarieslike this to show hard working students. JUS ALUMNI Conni_Red
just seeing a female drummajor makes me want to work even harder for this upcoming season. Great job to her tho!

Well, Tyrique, we guess that you don't have to wait until next year! Congrats on becoming a JSU drum major in 2013!
Tyrique!!! my boy I'm so proud of him. I've taught him well!!
he’s my band teacher!!😊
Really wanted Jamal to get it, dang. Either way I watched this video a lot before my drum major audition 2 months ago. Helped a bunch!
Very impressive young people. They all should be very proud!
Black folks athleticism is the best on Earth..why am I not seeing this in Pro Cycling often??

I showed my high school band this video and it helped a lot of them when they got to that point in college.
One of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam...
Great Video! I believe 18:56 to 19:06 is the definition of this activity and it parallels everything in life!
Well said Tyrique!

I almost didn't recognize Roderick Little for a second. It's easy to forget about him as a BD after being around him as a band member

The interview is the easiest part
I don't believe in cheating but Jamal was robbed I was robbed in high school and gave up my dream and I always wanted to attend JSU and I'm 25 and I still love JSU
demarco summers damn you either 30 or 31 time flies
Karen wasnt even as good as the rest. I think they put her through because they didnt want to seem sexist.
I Play tuba I don't think so because she is not the first female to try out
Wasn't the first to try out there were two more females who tried out and made it one was even the Head DMJ .
Why didn't the girl (Karen) march at the Tulane Game?
i dont know all the details but its true
Dope...iight karen do your thang
