@@phillyswiftsteak5188’Drumline’ was about a fictional school at the end of the day. I think Morris Brown being chosen as the nemesis stakes their claim.
@Rhinosaurus1000 it doesn't. Other schools didn't want to be in it like FAMU because all the bands weren't fictional and they said realistically they would never be beat by MBC
Growing up in Jackson, it was imperative that you knew the J5 Get Ready routine. Being a dance drum major in high school in the 90s, I watched all my pop's VHS tapes of the band to choreograph our routines. Them dudes were special
Don’t act like yall never tried to do a J5 drummajor move. It’s kinda like when you used to lean back and shoot a paper ball in the trash can & say “Kobe!!”
That's stuff is majorette movements, just an extension of those girls yall have in front of your programs... Looks like they are auditioning for Richard Simmons aerobics video
I go season by season really depending on how the band sounds how the drum majors lead and etc. last season this is how I got my rankings. JSU ASU SU ALCORN NCAT
Being from FL glad to see we in the building HARD. Never really paid attention to Bethune 🤔 Def know about Fam but J5… I’ve heard about that Sonic boom… loved this
Y'all don't understand the AURA Purple Haze had. When they came through you knew Morris Brown was out for blood. Greatest field run-on I've ever seen 😮💨
🌊🌊🌊 its all love...me being from jackson but marched at texas southern i feel ya i had to get used to their style as well especially growing up watching jackson state dms for years...but dem 3 in the ocean be doing their thing
The SU vs JSU rival has really been restored when Deion started coaching at JSU. Since then JSU band has kicked it up 2 notches. For me it’s really nostalgic watching them compete because I grew up in the SWAC, watching those teams battle every year. Now it’s even better because we have FAMU in the league , their band is hot garbage, I think they get random student together put a uniform on them and tell them to speed walk, it looks boot leg as hell I know all them damn kids don’t know the songs that they play.
Subscribed because of the UNA shirt! The Marching Pride always produces on of the best Marching Band performances I’ve ever seen.. I also love da HBCU’s Alabama A&M was my first love, but Alabama State just because of the Honey Bee’s
@haywoodlucas6577 I respect your ranking. I would sub bcu with texas southern. Concerning SU, most hbcu bands started with 1 drum major. The old bands were styled after either big 10 conference bands or the military because many founding directors were either military, educated at big 10 schools or both. At SU, we learned hbcu band history---yes, that is a thing only at SU.
I get it!!! However, HBCU bands are show bands. Therefore, while there is a whole lot that takes place in their single performance, the overall impression left is that of superb teamwork. Not to mention, the whole entire band may perform a choreographed dance at any given moment. With due respect to the talented drum majors, HBCU Bands never ceases to amaze the captivated audience!!! 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎

I can say he know a little something because he got #1 right Jackson state got the baddest drum majors year after year and yes Morris Brown should have been on the list in my opinion..

1. JSU hands down 2. A&T (best mace work) 3.BCU 4. FAMU 5……. Su just doesn’t do it for me. Boring AF and serves absolutely no purpose . But I judge off of entertainment , directing , style , cohesiveness..
I just recently started watching these bands and I am totally blown away. They are MILES away from the bands in my area. I do wonder, though, with all the talent and hard work that these drum majors put into their performances, what do they do after graduation? What kind of occupations do they find that measures up to all that high energy and extreme work that they were used to doing?
I'm humble opinion. There are no other drum majors more classy than "Purple Haze". Although Morris Brown's marching band is not former selves. They had a classy "Pat Boom" style that's no longer seen. Wow, miss that marching wolverine band.
One thing that I noticed about a lot of people that do reviews on HBCUs they overlook the independent HBCUs bands they do exist, and they have some phenomenal programs. One who have won the Honda battle of the bands was Langston University.
Young cats have no clue about Morris Brown College Purple Haze. The movie Drumline was just a taste of what they brought to the HBCU band world. Purple Haze definitely one of the very best to every do it.
I love that UNA shirt, Im from the same town so I see them at the (no judges) but almost band comp and at most of the comps out band goes to and they sound amazing every year
Finally someone said it!! J5 is on another level. No Comparison, No Competition!!
I feel bad for people who never saw Morris Brown
Drumline didn't do them enough justice. Morris Brown made a movie with every field show

I absolutely agree with you on the number one spot. JSU is my all-time favorite drum major squad. In my opinion, they said the bar.

No better drum majors in the land than THEE J5🐅🔥

@ck-1769 now how many breaks do they take during halftime in their show.
@@johnn5705 Their performances are worth it
@johnn5705 not nearly as much as the drummajor(s) that do nothing but march in/out with their band🤷🏾♂️.
JSU J5 for sure
Everybody knew #1 before they pressed play 😂

Luv Da Boom! 💂🏾☝🏽🥏

Definitely
Agreed

We NEED a ranked Drumline video
MDF$ & Cold Steel are 1&2...the rest are competing after that
Thank you, sir! I'm from Jackson and I KNEW you had them at #1 and you should!!!
You was about to catch it if you ain’t Norfolk. They are one of the few Drum majors that “conducts” the band at all times.
@@TomazHilton well said. A lost art.

You made a respectable effort, I respect what you did here. Coming from a BCU Marching Wildcat Alum...
As a NSU alum I give JSU their props!
Jackson State Band “ Boom” is the standard
Not when FAMU is the blueprint 😂

J5… THEE BEST IN THE LAND
I agree 100% with the J5 simply the best!!!!
All great!!! Jist think Alabama State higher than #7, IMO. So clean!
videos keep gettin better, keep ts up bro
J5... Your favorite drum major/ sqaud's favorite Dm Squad #Thee
You got number 1 right. I feel like they unmatched
Let me help you out, PV Drum Majors are called "Cat 5" or "Category 5" as in Hurricane category 5.
Nothing like J5! At one point in time, that was the only reason I wanted to go to college.
SU #1 only need one D Major…smooth with swag

Much respect for you. Don't worry the subscribers are coming.
His top 5 are about right. BCU, A&T, FAMU, JSU were dead on. I would have gave SU the honorable mention only b/c they have one drum major.

Fantastic video. I find these drum majors so cool and such a great addition to the bands.
Jackson state is 100% deserving of number one
Yeessssss! SONIC BOOM 🧨🧨🧨🧯🧯🧯❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥OF THE SOUTH!!!!!
Ngl, Mississippi Valley, Langston, and Virginia state could have been an honorary band.
Lol That picture of Donovan Wells is mine. I took that at Classic 2019. Nice video dude.

I believe the Jackson State J5 excels in showmanship, while the FAMU Marching "100" DM demonstrates excellent leadership.
FAMU's drum majors are classy. Love their precision.
I'm SU all day but love Jackson State drum majors and band.

Ok I was bout to cook you. But you got the right ones at #1 😤 great thumbnails clickbait 😂😂

It’s one thing to put FAM in front of JSU that’s a matter of taste but all the others are bums by comparison.
Great video, J-5 💯.... one suggestion .... better background, no disrespect .
Great video bro Subscriber #820
I Think Southern DMs are a class by itself…other than field show intro
One thing that I noticed about a lot of people that do reviews on HBCUs they overlook the independent HBCUs bands they do exist, and they have some phenomenal programs. One who have won the Honda battle of the bands was Langston University.
DJ how i just run into your page out of no where 😭😭
Mbc had impeccable style (see Drumline) but Morris Brown is back in 2025............ Re-established
Young cats have no clue about Morris Brown College Purple Haze. The movie Drumline was just a taste of what they brought to the HBCU band world. Purple Haze definitely one of the very best to every do it.
#1 was definitely correct.
No love to Tennessee state?

Hell yes they were.

Alabama St got Vanilla Ice as a drum major
😂😂😂
@biggz36 I been watching him since he was in high school
I wish we could’ve seen more footage of the drum majors, then we could judge for ourselves 🤷🏼♀️
I am glad you mentioned NSU!!! Though smaller than some of the bands way down south!! A trip to SPARTA will Thrill! BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD💚💛
Da boom💙💙💙
I agree with #1 TheeILove! They are definitely the best.💙

We don't really have a school marching band culture in the UK. It's just a military thing.
