    Jackson is the capital of the State of Mississippi and Jackson State’s music program is one of the best in our country. The Sonic Boom of the South is THE band to be reckoned with and not an easy one to get admitted to. Most of this isn’t close to their best performance as the first one i
    Is all percussion. To get the full effect you need the percussion, woodwinds, and horns. It will knock your socks off.

  • @woodsoncircle

    I didn't grow up in Mississippi however as a kid my dad used to take us to a lot of SWAC games. Saw a lot of bands but I always believed that the Boom had the coldest drum majors on the planet. Still holds true today. It's a tradition of greatness.

  • @larrywt656

    All of the HBCU bands are absolutely mind-blowing. The HBCU schools are all smaller colleges (Division I-AA and Division II) and so they don't play in the larger stadiums like most Division I-A schools. You really need to see one of their on-the-field halftime performances. These parade performances don't do them justice.

      The Jackson State University Marching Band sets an extremely high bar for HBCU and college bands in general. I've seen other bands that are exceptionally good but the Sonic Boom is the standard. I'm saying this and I've attended Lincoln University of Missouri back in the early to mid 90s and now trying to finish up at Chicago State University and has started its own marching band.

    Thanks for sharing. The amount of time they spend practicing is unbelievable. By the time the public sees it the people have done the show so many times that they could almost do it in their sleep. The movements are basically by muscle memory and their concentration has to be on the music. They are playing very tough renditions of the songs and marching/ moving at the same time. Also notice that the drummers are all hitting with the same stick (right or left) at the same time.
    All on top of a full academic schedule, they truly deserve a hats off for their commitment and dedication to hard work

    I lived in Jackson, Mississippi for about 30 years. During that period I saw this Marching Band perform many times live. The energy this group brings with them into such an event is impossible to verbally describe. It has to actually be "experienced" to fully comprehend what is going on. The State of Mississippi is considered very rural, uneducated, unsophisticated, etc. by many people living elsewhere in the United States. I believe anyone attending a performance of this Marching Band would come away from such a dynamic performance with a totally changed perception of Mississippi. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

The people here in Mississippi that looks like you, hate it and think it is tacky. They hate a part of us which is our culture. Since I was a young girl, I always wanted to dance in this band. If only they would put aside the Prejudice and appreciate the hard work and dedication they would love it to.

    State Universities are just public universities. Others are either public or private, depending.
    And school names could be for the state, town, or famous person, so unless you're an avid fan of US college sports or anything, you're probably better off just researching every school 😁

    The Band practices an average of 5 or 7 a day hours after classes have concluded for the day!
    The Drum Section is called War & THUNDER often imitated but NEVER DUPLICATED!
    The front 5 are called the "Fab 5" and they change every season. They have to Audition and it
    is tedious process to pick the BEST 5 Drum Majors!

    She was saying bigger audience as in TRAVEL/ TOUR THE WORLD to be worldwide not just a couple international trips. Now I know all about funding, fund raisers, international invites since I’m a former HBCU band member myself but that’s what she was referring to. (P.s. it would be really nice if our HBCU schools could be sponsored and toured around the world)

    It's funny to see someone who hasn't marched react to it. To those who did it we just think of it as, "That's what we just do" and don't even think about all of the hours we're putting in because we love it.

    Courtney in fairness I suggested this in ur last video so I’m going to tell u how their lining up
    Drum majors : the guys that lead the band ( they’re called drum majors / section leaders bcoz there are so many each instrument gets its own section leaders)
    Majorettes
    Section leaders : trumpets , bass, saxophone, drums
    The band itself
    8:50 is the drum line
    Hope u enjoy

    Great review sis...and showing love to HBCU's. In the 90's and when I was middle school, I played trumpet, in Texas...The next year, I tried out for drum major and made it. We have to learn how to read music and have played an instrument, and still compete to be a drum major. Whatever your instument is, you still gotta play that instrument in practice. When I was drum major, My band director made me march and high-step, like J5 and told me to high-step till both my knees hit my chest and stomp so hard that I wanna stomp a hole through pavement. These really are musicians; we marched in the MLK parade, and it was miles long and was almost an hour. In those days, if we got second place in a parade, director made us do pushups and sprints....It sounds great, and these are all musicians. Great band JSU🎶

    This was a mild performance by the Sonic Boom of the South. The performance is much better when they are in full uniform and the Prancing J-settles (majorettes) are also featured. Black College bands are a big part of Black American culture. J-State is a SWAC school and the SWAC (southwestern athletic conference) has some of the best marching bands in the country. I enjoy my alma mater Alcorn State Sounds of Dynamite, Jackson State SBOTS, Southern University Human Jukebox, PrairieView State University. I also love Howard University Show Band, North Carolina A&T (P-Funk) and FAMU.

The dancers are called "The J- Settes". The are considered to the BEST in the United States all Black university marching band. The sound is so loud thats how they got their name "The Sonic Boom of the South" since the 1960's!

For instance, most universities give their dance team different names, for example "The Blacks Foxes", "The OO La La Dancers", "The Champaign Dancers" and "The Stingettes". There is a history of all band. Then you have to watch an all Black Greek "Step Show" it will blow your mind.
