It’s part of black America culture. Love my culture, it’s like no other. ❣️🇺🇸
💪🏾💪🏾😉
✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Truth❤❤❤
🫶🏿💪🏾
Yes. Our culture is so awesome!
For anyone who doesn't really understand the commitment these kids are putting into their craft. They practice in the southern Mississippi heat. Props for an awesome performance.
🙃🙃
The HBCU band members are gleaned from the best HS bands and Corps from around the country. They have put years into learning this unique craft. Remember the performance comes after excelling at learning the music and dance skills.
I came here to say just that!! The amount of hours for practice in the heat, memorizing the steps and the music and still maintaining grades.. the amount of work.. I haven’t done it in years but it’s amazing when you see all your hard work
This is true. I don't go down south in the summer. It's so insanely hot and humid. Props to these young people. Because baby! Not me.
I appreciated the dedication, tenacity, heartaches, and rewards of what these kids go through when I watched the Nick Cannon movie!
Oh man, there is nothing like HBCU bands. So fun to watch.
You feel it in your soul!
AMEN!! You can feel vibrations in your body! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So fun to be in!
Agreed loooove it 😊👍🏽👏🏽
One of the best college bands in the world
"OFTEN IMITATED, BUT NEVER DUPLICATED! THEE, SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH"! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Bro, that's a Su saying stop stealing 😂😂
@@nappygunz12avisiont.v6 😀HOW OLD ARE YOU? 12?!🤣🤣🤣
@brogeorge4039 45yrs young . I been around long enough to know you stealing my bro, you know, and I know. It's a lot more stuff. JSwho has stolen but that's for another day🤣😂🤣
CONGRATULATIONS - you're the very first channel from across the pond to react to an HBCU... Thank You...
I agree Thank you! I luv how excited u guys r watching the band.
There are other reactions.
She gets it 🎉. When you see her rubbing her arm you know it her. She explains it as she gets emotional 👍🏾
I just finished watching a reaction from Korea made 3 years ago, so no, this is not the first. It's good though.
Yes, thank you for your interest in our culture. Fun fact. Dion Sanders, a famous NFL football coach, worked at JSU for a couple of years. They won the national HCBU championship.
It was so amazing to watch people from another country respect & appreciate the beauty, grace & power of our culture. Thank you for that 🙏🏾
Without having any knowledge about them, well done
We'd get more if we were around other people in other places. America spends as little effort as it can to publicize and accentuate blacks gifts and talents. And there isn't yet financial backers to promote and produce these on a wide basis like football. We had it for a little while with double dutch. It seems that it's only a few who have the imagination to produce multi-talent content.
The girls dancing in the middle are actually not cheerleaders but majorettes. They are dancers specifically for the band and the style of dancing they do is unique to marching bands. They often were more conservative outfits and dance more jazz like than cheerleaders.
My sister was a majorette at Bethune Cookman College in the mid 2000s
Majorettes have batons! There are a few still left but most of them are dancers, it's the change of the times and culture 😮
@angelarucker8364 HBCU majorettes moved away batons in the 1970s. This style of dance is known as "J-Setting" and was pioneered by this group.
@@francesleasonmoncrief1488I saw a doc on Bethune Colman’s band a few years ago and I think their majorettes still use barons.
A lot has changed over the years…old majorette here…when I was in my High School band, being a majorette, you had a routine and your instrument was the baton to twirl…the outfits were like super sparkle, full bathing suits, flesh color stockings and white boots similar to low cut cowboy boots, low heel and a tassel. Our routine wasn’t so provocative…not judging, just saying a lot has changed. ❤️But I love a band that can play and maneuver so well👏🏽It takes a lot of practice to be this great…There were a many days the band didn’t get home until late at night. Miami Central aka Baby Rattlers back in my day, because our band director was a FAMU Alumni…fun days👏🏽
I met a Norwegian soldier when I used to be in the military. I was the only black woman in my unit, so he went out of his way to make me feel welcomed in Norway with his military unit. He shared how he went to an HBCU for 2 years in Mississippi and was actually taken in my Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity brothers. It was a life changing experience for him.
What HBCU did he go to in MS? The great Alcorn St University?
Alcorn!!?!! Nah, had to be JSU ❤
Yep!
Black American culture is very rich and dynamic and is its own thing. We even have our own colleges and unis, music that can be regional, cuisines, regional dances, regional and non regional vernacular and dialect, our own sign language etc. We had to create our own culture from nothing and we did an amazing job. We are much different than white Americans, also nothing like what they show you all about us on TV. 🤍
That because black folks ARE THE TRUE AMERICANS AMERICA IS THE OLD WORLD

Well said! 👏🏽🗣️🗣️🗣️

Welcome to the world of HBCU (Historically Black College/University. Back when Blacks couldn't attend white colleges during segregation times, these schools were formed to teach black youth. They are now integrated, but most of these schools are still primarily black attended.) These bands are different from most big "white" universities. There aren't a lot of people in the stands usually, but the ones who do come are usually there for the bands. The bands rule the day. They play mostly black R&B songs along with some Jazz, and usually the more modern and popular tunes on the radio at the time. If you go down this rabbit hole, I'm sure you'll enjoy the journey....
Exactly. Most go to the games for the band. 😂
@@ConeshaBarronFacts! There’s NOTHING like a HBCU Band 🔥
They need to check out HBCU’s “Battle of the Bands” !🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤
The only thing I disagree with is that JSU fans fill the stadium each and every game. It's not just the game, it the whole experience and atmosphere. I know because I'm a graduate of JSU!
🙄 More of the PWI are adopting HBCUs style and sound. Is that a flex? History says, NO!
Former proud member and alumni of Jackson State University and the Sonic Boom of the South! (2001-2003)/French horn player
Omg I love the sound of the French Horn! It has a gloriously royal tone
Yeah yeah !!! Go back to work .....
🙌🏾🤩
Thanks for dedicating your time to serve your school and communities in this manner. As a white sax player from up north, there's nothing like the HBCU marching bands.
Thank you for checking out the Summa Cum Laude of Bands, "The Sonic Boom of the South!" I too am a proud Alumni of "Da Boom" (JSU Sonic Boom of the South) and also a graduate of our HBCU. I was blessed to enter/ crab In 1990 as a member of our clarinet section, affectionately nicknamed the Hype Pipes/Groove Tubes. Being a member of this band actually afforded us I even bigger family when we were away from home. To this day, many of us are still super close, even though we're all in different parts of the world. Again, thank you for checking us out, or if you will, reacting to our current edition of Da Boom / SBOTS on your Chanel. 🙏🏾. Much respect to you. #LuvDaBoom💙#JSU. #HP #Crab90 TheeiLove
Also Jackson State was in The Superbowl half time with Usher. this past Feburary.
Dude what?? How is it that I live RIGHT outside of Jackson and nobody here talks about JSU and their music? I have been seeing a lot of people on UA-cam paying attention to Jackson, sympathizing with its crumbling state and being wowed by its college's performances, and I had zero idea that people from all over the country were aware, even from other countries, but I wasn't, and people I know aren't. It seems really off to me that so many people in the surrounding area aren't talking about it whatsoever.
@@destructionandcreationyou have to get into the band world man!! It’s a lot of band heads out there
I didn’t know that!
I didn't know that. They are very good!
It was on the news, social media, and just about anywhere after they performed
My eyes are tearing up. Thanks for highlighting black ppl and young ppl and HBCUs.
Me too!❤
Me too.
It's not that serious, sis.
HBCU bands are very different than regular university bands. People go to the games just to see the half-time show. There is also the battle of the bands. HBCU's are historically black college's and university's.
We say HBCU or PWCU not regular university
@@flutie6449 I call them regular because there is nothing special about them.
@@daciab4328🤣😂
Most definitely, I went to Tuskegee University's football games to watch my friends in the band.
Sonic Boom. Alcorn. Southern U. Grambling. Valley. Gotta love it. Shout out to all the HBCU bands across the country
To the deniers, this is a part of our culture, the culture that you know who you are who say we don't have a culture. Thank you Recky and Carol for exploring our culture in the USA.
ADOS / FBA culture
Facts
Watching the HBCUs "marching in" to football games is a wonderful spectacle.
The absolute best - it catches the beat of your heartbeat.
Yes indeed
Black American culture is so vast and beautiful... Watching people's reactions to our (FBA's)culture is so refreshing.
As an African American it almost brings me to tears to see people from other cultures in this world admire something positive about our culture rather than the negativity our media usually portrays 🥹🥹🥹. The next step is to attend a game and experience the electrifying atmosphere first hand. You’ll have goosebumps for weeks! College football season starts in just 3 short weeks!😊
As a former band mom of a 'trumpet', I can tell you, these kids put in a TON of practice each season and it doesn't stop when they are perfect. You're correct Carol, the difference between tv and actually being there is AMAZING. The marching, maneuvering, playing, coordination of all - it leaves you breathless and all goosebumpy. I'm so glad you both enjoy this. My daughter spent 4 years of high school and 4 years of college in their marching bands. She also played in orchestra, concert bands, etc. Post college she played professionally in a Swing Band (Swing music) and also played for Bugles Across America, which is an organization where civilians play Taps at military funerals. She also played Taps for 2 of her uncles and her Papa (Grandfather) when he passed away.
Anyway, Marching bands are incredible. ❤
I don't know if you can get this link or not, I hope you're able to. This is just the band 'trooping' from the parking lot to the playing field, playing their fight song. The marching band was over 300 strong, and yes, my trumpet is in this video. Lol. ua-cam.com/video/wFWcWrvWwzs/v-deo.htmlsi=B9WfXIu7uEjQ7p_h
@@babynursekarenchecked out your link and they look amazing too!!
@tashaburgess3753 Thank you ma'am.
I played trumpet French horn and baritone. I received a full band scholarship and basically paid for 85% of my tuition. We work really hard, memorizing music, dance steps you name it.
I am a proud band mom as well. My daughter graduated from Cheyney University, YOU KNOW! When she told me she was going to be a drummer 🥁. Not discourage her, I asked her how could this be when you never played an instrument. She said "mom I know beats". When I first saw her play at homecoming I was speechless. Those kids worked! From then on I was at every performance. My sister and I fried chicken and made potato salad for them in the dorm's kitchen. By the middle of her third year, she was given the title of section leader. She never played before, didn't read music, but she played her booty off. She was known as the Devin Miles (Drum Line) of Cheyney University. I'm so proud of her and that she went to a HBCU. When her band played in my area, Cheyney was the only all black band. Well, when it was time for them perform. The crowd lost their minds and the audience was mostly white. For three years I had the pleasure to say that is my baby leading the drummers. It was so exciting and I miss it so.
Born and raised in Mississippi. Wanted to go to Jackson State. Parents couldn't afford it so I went into the Army. I'm in tears watching this because I am so proud of this kids! They work hard!
As a former member of this band (tuba player), I must say that the band is in great hands under Dr. Little. Practice normally is 4 to 11 or 4 to 12 am. 4 to 5 is usually for sectional practice.

2011-2015 An amazing 4 years full of memories. Thanks for viewing our young people.
Dawg Team | crab of 2002 ✊🏿
Lawd that's some dedication! Makes sense though to be that on point with so many moving and complex parts and the extent/length of the performances.
How many day's a week y'all practice? Did y'all have to stay on campus during the summer, or come back early to prep?
Some of my friends went to HBCU's, but I never got to visit during college...went to Penn State, because of having to work and put in extra time with classes, (due to ADHD).
We had a step team, way back in the day when I was there, 1998-2003, but it wasn't popping, and was more of people half stepping, (no.pun intended), then putting in that work.
@ggram0551 When I marched, we would be out for the summer and then return to have band camp 2 weeks before school started. Once band camp is over, we our band season (football season). That usually lasts from August to November, and we practiced Sunday-Friday with the game being on Saturday.
Is this schedule everyday ??? When do these students have time to do their home work/study ????
What's good BoeBoe!! Hope you're thriving in what you do fam. Much love -Sac
The HBCUS ARE THE BEST MARCHING BANDS IN THE WORLD 🌎. THEY KNOW HOW TO PUT ON A SHOW ❤
I love you guys’ reaction. I have one point of correction- this isn’t just “America,” it’s “Black America.” I make the distinction because this is a Black university (not that others can’t attend). It exists because we weren’t allowed to attend white universities. There is nothing like the soul and passion of Black people. Our influence on music, worldwide, attests to that. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for displaying Black American culture and being respectful.❤❤❤❤
This is part of Black American Culture and the history of HBCUs❤!
The Sonic Boom is among the best! They represent HBCU, Black, and American culture at the highest level. We adore them here in the States. 💙
As a proud JSU alum and mother of a JSU alum we appreciate your support. If you ever get a chance go to Jackson MS for a JSU Homecoming. Your life will be enriched and forever change. Thee I Love!!
I’m glad you liked the show. As a current member the Sonic Boom I must say this was by far my favorite field show we have ever done
As a crab in the Sonic Boom from as far back as 1990, and also the mother of a Sonic Boom Alum who came through my section in 2012 (Hype Pypes...Clarinets), please allow me to say THANK YOU for the way that you current Boomers continue to uphold our standards! Keep up the outstanding work! Dr. Rod Little and the rest of his staff are sure doing an outstanding job with you young people. I can hardly wait until homecoming and the BoomBox Classic! #LuvDaBoom💙
If you'll allow this old-ish white woman a moment, y'all are AMAZING!!! The things y'all have done this last year (and prior, but this year has been outstanding IMO) have made me proud to be a Mississippian (even though I sometimes want to pop some of my relatives upside the head for a few backwards opinions). Aside from the traffic, I kind of miss living/working in the Fondren area because I used to be able to hear y'all on game days. LOL
JSU representing Mississippi proudly!
Trust me... I'm from Louisiana. Gambling State University, Southern University, and Jackson State University has the best HBCU bands. We have had the Battle of the bands for years and im 51 yrs old...
Wow you remember that these young people today don't know how we love to go to the battle of the bands it was the best it was so much fun
Sonic Boom of the South..❤❤
My second choice after Grambling. Ended up at UAPB
JSU has a reputation to uphold.😍
Absolutely!💯💯🎯🎯🔥🔥❤️❤️
Love the Boom!
I'm so glad that Recky and Carol expressed their true and genuine admiration for the JSU Marching Band. They and other bands from HBCUs represent a proud and historic tradition of black excellence in not just music, but in all disciplines of academics. We are very proud of our HBCUs.
FBA (foundational Black American) culture… ADOS ( American descendants of slavery) culture…. LETS GO!!!!!
💪🏾❤
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Soulaani 😊😊
I LOVE seeing Black Excellence. LET"S-GO !!! LOL.
We ochea let's go FBA and ADOS
This couple is 100% genuine about their encouragement and support for this HBCU band. Tears are flowing from my eyes and my heart is full. These people are so enthusiastic about this band. The stands do not show any support by fans or friends. Jackson State excellent performance. Your goal of excellence is more than evident in this performance. God Bless you all.
HBCU's have a unique culture that you might enjoy exploring. Step dancing competitions are amazing. They generally have the best drum lines. Those are a lot of fun to watch.
😒
I learned about HBCU's marching bands from the-GOOD-film-DRUMLINE. Anyone remember that movie ????
It is called Steppin(g)- not step dancing
Often imitated but NEVER duplicated!!!
Right??
I kinda feel like European colleges should have marching bands. After all, they invented most of the historical instrument types that modern marching bands use.
JSU Marching Band is called The Sonic Boom Of The South💥💥
#LuvDaBoom💙🩵
Thank you from Kentucky for reacting to an HBCU band. They don't get enough love out there, IMO.
I think a lot of people don't understand the hours of intense daily practice that goes into this. Learning the songs, the marching routines, and being able to do both while learning to breath while playing their instrument. It's very hard work and bands don't get enough credit in my opinion. My son was in band and spent hours outside in the heat and cold daily perfecting their routines and still had to find time to study for their academic courses. And not only do they have to perform at games, they also have ongoing competitions around the state and nation throughout the year. Total respect.
This!
Former percussionist…I do well remember the heat, the cold, the long hours!!!
We used to learn the music first then the dances second. The hard part was putting both together. Once the two meshed it was all over!!
Hbcus have so many great bands. My top 5 are Jackson State,Southerners University,Norfolk State, FAMU and Tennessee State. They all give you the feels but for different reasons. Thanks for tuning in to our beloved bands
Well damn here I am on my lunch break, watching my school with tears in my eyes. I gotta toughen back up so I can walk back inside lol.
I went to TSU, but still had tears!
❤️✊🏿
😂😂 Let the tears flow, fam. Tears of JOY!
❤
I love y'all's reaction to this band! I'm from Mississippi, and my husband, daughter and I lived just up the road (about a mile or two) from JSU in South Jackson, back in 2015. It was great living there, because a lot of the time, we could sit on our front porch and listen to the band while they practiced, and when they were playing during a home game. We loved it! That was when I became a fan of The Sonic Boom. They are top-notch! And it thrills me when I see them perform on a national level, and now getting recognized at an international level! 😊
On a side note- Recky, I love your shirt! Real men DO rock pink! 😊 I'm coming up on my 3rd year of being a stage 3 breast cancer survivor on October 19th! 😊🩷
Amazing, and congratulations on your 3rd year🎉🥳❤️
Loving your reactions!! Now think, those students out there are future doctors, lawyers, teachers etc. on scholarships because of their musical talent! We are very proud of our HBCUS. SOO fun, huh?
This "You got it Bad" arrangement is really, really nice. Wow!! Very clean but powerful. I give this performance five stars.
HBCU school are so good other school pay for them to perform. Jackson State are known for having the best Drum Majors in all of America. I'm so glad you enjoy the performance.
I thought Southern Jukebox was the best🤔
Not FAMU?
@@UnpopularOpinion3000 definitely FAMU!!!!!
The students who want to play for HBCU's start training in elementary school and once they get to college.... its ALL IN training!!! A lot of hard work goes into this type of performance. I LOVE the tradition of the HBCU culture.
Jackson State band and the Prancing J-settes are perfection.
Our culture is so rich and I'm so glad it's spreading across the world. thanks for reviewing, love from an African American woman in Italy.
Hey Guys! Thanks for highlighting other types of college bands. So often the only band that gets reacted to is the OSU marching band. Universities like JSU are from HBCU’s and these schools have bands and videos on UA-cam that get very little exposure to the mainstream. Please check more of them out. FAMU is another one. That’s Florida A&M University. Thanks again guys!
Yes, FAMU is great!
Definitely FAMU!
Yes please that’s my Alma mata
Watching HBCUs Battle of the Bands and Half Time Shows are always electric.
Left Shark captured my heart for left life ❤❤.
I’m so happy that you all reacted to an HBCU Band!!!!
Although an oftenly.misused term, THIS is what you call Black Excellence.
HBCU FAMU RATTLER ALUMNI HERE!! 🐍 🐍 🧡💚 This looks like a Battle of the Bands competition we have here in the States. The Sonic Boom is an awesome band! Its amazing to me how we, in the black community, have always known about & so used to seeing the absolutely amazing marching bands of the HBCU's. Thanks to the internet, I'm glad other people from different countries are able to see their performances. But its even better to see it live!😉

Boom fan here. The SWAC is the best conference in the nation for bands. FAMU is a big part of that greatness.
@@northernsoutherngirl Alcorn Sounds of Dynamite here. Gotta love the HBCU band family. Nothing like it. We may go at each others neck during the game but whenever talking to another band head from another school is always love and the experiences and the stories lol
Battle of the Bands, both college and high school level, is always one of the the highlights of the year in the Black community ❤❤❤
@@themightierpencil wait. I have to disagree lol. I’ve gone to a few. And not gonna lie. After about an hour and half I’m ready to go. All those damn bands and sitting through the high schools also lol. Woooo I’m sitting there like ok now. How many bands do we have to listen to lol
This is my alma mater! The Sonic Boom has consistently been a great band. I am 48 years old and when I was a little girl, I enjoyed watching them.
I love the way her eyes light up when she see something. She likes
EPIC PERFORMANCE!!!
They love their school, their band, and their culture!!
Love Black energy 💖💖💖
What struck me most is the utter wall of sound when the entire band is in concert position with all the horns blowing to the audience. Super powerful! I hope you enjoyed and thanks for sharing. ❤
The Sonic Boom is the nickname of.the band and the sound
I had the opportunity to see them live. They aren't called the Sonic Boom of the South for nothing!
African American are intelligent and great at everything we put our minds too. In America it's so much negative propaganda against Black people most people miss the culture of how talented we really are. Thanks for taking the time to discover what we love and enjoy. I am a 70 year old black woman and I attended Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas, I was in the band as well, called (Ocean of Soul). It was such a fun and wonderful experience.
There’s NOTHING like watching an HBCU band march in and perform most specifically THEE JSU!! Thanks for sharing in your page!
I am a 66 yo Swedish-Amarican. The absolute BEST part of my American upbringing was being a part of the marching band and blasting the heck out of my sousaphone! Nothing compares in my adult life.
Loved this post. You guys are awesome. I am a Jackson State Alumni and was one of the J5 drum majors 2018 and 2019. I would love to see your reaction to the band marching into the stadium and the 5th quarter band battles. New subscriber here. Those ladies are not cheerleaders. They are the band's dance team The Prancing J-settes. They are part of the band.
I Love My People‼️ Thank you for the post.
Hi guys… What I’m always amazed at is that these young people are playing instruments at the same time while doing all the rest of it… Just incredible
Thanks for appreciating their performance and sharing it with us. They are incredible.
So much dedication and practice. Wow! That was amazing!
QUick FYI, this was the Marching band that Performed with Usher at the Last Superbowl.
My HBCU is TALLADEGA College ❤… Glad you guys are watching HBCU Bands… Much Love from Alabama
My cousin went to school there. Also have family that went to Alabama State, Tuskegee and Bishop State. Most of my family is from Alabama and they have always been big on education. Alabama has more HBCUs than any state in the country.

Black marching bands are one of the coolest parts of American culture. So glad you watched and enjoyed this!
How they remember how to play all that music & can execute all the marching choreography never ceases to amaze me. Lucky for me, I was a majorette & my job was easier. LOL
I was in Jackson State band. Let me tell you, your brain is on overload learning all of this. Lol
Wasn't hard when you love the MUSIC...and it loves you back!! Former Tenor Sax section leader, Second chair Viola player in Orchestra
Always fun watching someone experience an HBCU band for the 1st time
I've never seen this band perform! Wow...alright Mississippi we see you! 😊
Nothing like those SWAC bands! 💜💛
I graduated from a HBCU over 20yrs ago, and my fondest memories are my years in the Marching Band!!!
Ohio State University showcases one style of marching band prevalent in the US but I am so glad you looked at Jackson State. Jackson State is an HBCU--a historically Black college/university. There are quite a few HBCUs in the US and their bands typically show this marching style--this is called a Show band style.
While all US marching bands march in formation, the Show band style also emphasizes showmanship, dancing of the dance teams and Drum majors and also some dancing of the main band. The songs played are also from popular music like in this case, the R and B star Usher.
HBCU bands are known for this type of performance and have even been paid to be guest bands when a schools band could not show up. HBCU bands have been featured on commercials and in special appearances in Europe,etc.
Loved your reaction and also your other channel not a cooking show!
Here is another band video you might like--it showcases a joint performance of a traditional marching band with an HBCU band in a half time show: UNC and NCCU
ua-cam.com/video/mjStvU3cVOk/v-deo.html
BLACK CULTURE BABY!! No one can do it like us!!! The young ladies are not cheerleaders. They are dancers. Glad you enjoyed because black culture is often imitated but NEVERDUPLICATED!!! HBCU
The ground level shots help give the perspective of how the band members are navigating around. Most of these band performance video are shot from overhead to show the formations, but on the field it's pretty mindboggling that they are not only playing each song, here they also dance in unison, but then know how to get into position. Kind of controlled chaos. LOL
Well written, the ground shots really help to see the intricate disection
As a band mom whose two sons played for Hampton University (one played drums, the other trumphet), this band brings back such wonderful memories. 😊💖
Jackson State you look and sound PHENOMENAL! Great job everyone! 💖🎶👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wait until all the hbcus perform ‘not like us!’
I told my friend this 2 days ago. I said I know the bands are already practicing Not Like Us before school starts next month.
😂😂😂😂😂 facts
There's nothing my people can do we are the most amazing people on this planet . PERIOD!!!!!
I’m riding with you 2! Great 👍! My husband is former 1975-76 SWAC JSU DB Champion! He was JSU DB & Walter Payton Was Their RB! He was drafted to NY Jets ! Payton The Chicago Bears! Love ❤️ yall for loving us! The Band Would Get Players Fired 🔥 Up To Get Kick Some Butt🙏 🐯 JSU “O THEE I LOVE” ❤️ ❤❤!

Find your niche! It build character and morals!!💥💥💥♥️♥️♥️ thank you from all of us for show casing all their hard work!!!
THANKS FOR REACTING TO JSU Marching Band! I love Marching Bands of all kinds but HBCU's definitely sprinkle in a little Spice to their Marching Style!🎉
Love the comment section! All my FBA ADOS family hyped!!! Made my heart full to see their reaction to our beautiful black American culture!!!
I just teared up
watching them take the field. I am so proud to be part of a wonderful community and culture.
I loved your reaction. I am glad that you enjoyed my culture. Again, I appreciate the two of you enjoying HBCU battle of the band. ❤
It’s good to see both you and NickJ Reacts have watched Jackson state video, I hope more reaction channels check this out
its good to see channels checking this out now
Watched both reactions
JSU will be at next Rose Parade and im excited for them.
The Jackson State University Marching Band is known as the "Sonic Boom" of the South! It puts a smile on your face to see you both experience this! There are so many other bands some just and good, if not better. However, for me JSU is as best as it gets! Peace and Blessings!
There is so much work and practice so that it becomes muscle memory. This was excellent!
Lol, HBCU'S definitely do it differently than your 'traditional ' college bands. Straight up SHOWTIME! Really makes you feel it
Oh, please did the so-called traditional bands copy the HBCUs!
This goes all the way down the high school as well. It’s a big part of our culture.
The Sonic Boom!!! The best in the land. HBCU'S RULE. VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER 2024 OR THEY WILL DISAPPEAR.
We're all mesmerized. Great band, great talent and leadership. Hey guys, when will you be visiting? 😊
Idk how I this ended up on my feed but I’m so glad it did! Love when people are introduced to black culture and the get to peek into the joy we have! 😊
I went to Jackson State for my PhD. It was an incredible experience! The band is incredible! The HBCU has battles of the bands in the south - it’s huge. I live in New Orleans and they are well-known for their talent.
JSU gets DOWN! When I was in high school, my friends and I would go to the football classics up here in Chicago- which were two HBCUs playing against each other. Whenever JSU was playing, they had the crowd going crazy. They always won the Battle of the Bands during halftime.
Speaking of, we're coming back in 2025🙌🏾! Jackson State vs Hampton🥳
Nothing like seeing this type of performance in person if you ever travel to see such. From the video you two look like you would really enjoy this.
They are not Cheerleaders they are Majorettes. They are part of the band.
At Jackson State and throughout the United States, we call these beautiful young ladies The Prancing J-Settes. Whenever we move (Da Boom), they move.
Welcome to a part of Black American culture! I hope you enjoyed it and Thank You for highlighting us!
You have to see Florida A&M Marching 100 especially if you love the build up. Their Death March is 1 of 1!!!
Thank you for show casing all of our wonderful hardworking students!!💥💥💥💥💥💥
