Tenn State Alum here. It makes me so proud to see fellow HBCUs representing excellence on the national stage like this. They are all to be commended for their commitment and hard work. ❤❤❤
As a proud alum of an HBCU, witnessing Jackson State's march in the Rose Bowl Parade sends chills down my spine. Their performances were exceptional and incredible! Pasadena, California, will never be the same.
I want to give some love to the sisters holding the banner. It may not look like they are doing much or not performing as the others. Try holding something like that in that position for a long time. 🎉❤
5:30. Saw them twice in person while at the Rose Bowl. They were the highlight of the Rose Bowl BandFest! Completely professional and entertaining. The audience was mesmerized. On the parade route they gave everything! Outstanding. Made all us graduates of HBCUs proud! Kudos to all those who worked hard to make this happen.
REPRESENT!!!! Nothing like that HBCU culture! 😊God bless the children and their instructors, counselors, administrators, parents and supporters.BEAUTIFUL 👏
I've been commenting on so many videos! I feel like a proud mom and I don't even have kids😄 Everyone, from the band members, the beautiful Jsettes, drum majors, banner ladies and band directors should feel beyond proud! You all represented Jackson State, Jackson, Mississippi, and the entire HBCU community👏👏! Idk if California was ready for y'all, but I know they enjoyed your presence! Those live commentators were amazed and loved it just as much as we did. Sadly, I couldn't watch you guys in person, but I was rooting for you via my screen. SBOTS, have a safe trip back home with your head held high! I hope Cali welcomed you with a warm heart! Please come back soon💛☺️
Boom, J5 and J settes yall looked and sounded AMAZING!!! J settes looked like. a MILLION BUCKS in this new uni! Baby Shelbie LEAD that mfing parade DOWN! The Banners girls looked great too!
Literally the best band in this parade!! So amazing and so full of energy! Such a great vibe to start the new year! Thanks guys you killed it!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
They coming through there with a WALL OF SOUND! How can you be black white green yellow orange brown or any color or ethnicity and not appreciate this level professionalism, skill & overall entertainment. Coming from a TnSU AoB fan GREAT JOB JSU.."SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH!
JSU should be given a permanently all trip paid for to the rose bowl parade yearly. Sheesh. I’m not a JSU Alum but an HBCU Grad and a marching band member. This by far is the greatest parade performance I have seen in my 40 years of being a musician and marching in numerous parades . ❤❤❤❤❤
I knew the Boom was going to swag out with some hot sauce on it! They delivered at 6:22 playing a double dose of Luther Vandross, Give Me the Reason and Never Too Much! Much HBCU Love ! 💚💛💚💛 BEHOLD!!
What a great sound, you could here them coming for blocks. Thanks for sharing your talents with everyone who watched the parade. They entertained but kept moving down the route which is what every parade coordinator wants. Remember the Rose Bowl route is 5 1/2 miles long and they put a show on the whole way.
Out of all the HBCUs that has marched this parade, they looked amazing the stamina, the energy, the performance the sound, the rock, the j settes the j 5 I mean, I was hyped the entire time
This is my favorite band. They are historically sassy & creative. They continue to brighten the spirits of onlookers to the degree of eliminating barriers, thus giving rise to inclusion. I was thrilled to watch footages over & over. Magnificent!!
I cried watching this…..😢😢😢😢. So proud of JSU! They literally just changed the way ppl look at marching bands! More black bands from the south should go there!!
Jackson State University' Sonic BOOM Marching Band is the ANSWER for all HBCU and PWU marching bands. They are exact EVERY performance) The J5 Drum majors set the tone with consistent clean EXACT movements in their routine and the highest stepping J settes flirting their Black Beauty towards the crowds, They should be invited to the ROSE bowl parade every year!! Congratulations! This makes me proud to finally see an HBCU marching band on a major platform as Thee Rose Bowl Parade. May the Lord continue to enlarge Jackson State University Sonic BOOM Marching Band territory 🙏🏾
As a 1964 graduate of Tennessee State University, this brought tears to my eyes. My dorm was situated where I could watch the band practice, so I know how hard those young people worked to be able to perform like that.
From a Norfolk State Marching Spartan Legion Band Alumna to the JSU Sonic Boom, Congratulations on a First-Class performance! You represented our HBCU's well! Miss seeing you at the Southern Heritage Classic! BEHOLD!💚💛
Yes indeed! This what a parade is supposed to be about! You all Gave! Much love from another fellow Spartan Legion alumnus! 💚💛💚💛 BEHOLD!! The Green & Gold!
SAW THEM AT DISNEYLAND! Soooo proud of these Youngsters, being positive, looking good, sounding great! And getting their Education 🩵💙🩵🩵🥁🥁🥁🥁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💙💙💙🩵💙
78YRS & I SAY YAY!!! NO WORDS TO SAY!! NO SUPERLATIVES!! JUST DAGGONE AWESOME POWERFUL. PROUD OF YOU & PARENTS WHO WORKED TO GET YOU THERE!! Avid supporter of HBCU'S 😂😂
I'm 74 years old, but if I ever decide to get up and go back to school, I'm enrolling at JSU, just so I can say I'm an alum! How 'bout them Blue Bengals?!🐯🤣
Boom came, Boom saw, Boom showed up, Boom showed out. Mission accomplished. Tied with Southern 2020 for best TOR Parade HBCU performance ever, in my opinion. Well done, JSU....see you at 2025 Boombox.
@WM64864 Ohio State couldn't hold a candle to any of the HBCU marching bands. They know it, which is why they stay in their lane and don't try. You've got to have swag, sass and rhythm. HBCU's have that and more.
Wow!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤The number of hours it must have taken to perfection this!!!! That's the beauty of young people doing something they enjoy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ T H A N K Y O U ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Go Big Blue
Big ups to female drum major as this is rare. She held it down🎉
They were the best part of the show. People online were so happy to see them
@@asturiasceltic3183 Apparently they were not. Their view in MusicAmenities is 1900. OSU is double. KT is 40 times more than them.
Including me that's my favorite University no doubt
They were!!!! They woke up the parade with pure soul. I love it!!!🩵💙🩵💙🤍💙🩶💙
@@user-qz3ls9od9n They are like the pride of nation right now.
@@user-qz3ls9od9n Yeah, the parade was boring with all these marching bands, floats then BOOM!!
