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.

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.

[@geraldjohnson4013]

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.

As a native of Mississippi and now living is Jackson Mississippi. Only us People that look like this love and appreciate this and wish to one day be apart of 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. Not to mention the people that looks like you here can't do it because it IS HARD so they don't like it bc they can't take it. Thank you for appreciating these young kids hard work to be great.

[@tinaburgess7164]

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.

my parents both got graduate degrees from jsu, so i grew up watching the sonic boom every football season...though i ended up going to a rival school, it was always amazing to watch the jsu band...the song they are playing in both videos is an arrangement of "get ready" by the legendary motown singing group, the temptations...it has been the boom's entrance song for as long as i can remember and the crowds always get hyped up when the tubas drop those first few notes...hbcu bands are a culture all to themselves...

[@garyballard179]

It seemed like you were just a bit confused by the 'State' part of Jackson State... 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 😁 Like Texas: there's University of Texas, Texas State, Texas A&M, University of Texas El Paso, University of Texas at Tyler, Texas College...etc, etc...

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🎶

Courtney, I recommend you watch the movie "Drumline", starring Nick Cannon. You will get the full sense of marching bands at HBCUs!

No you won't. Drum line is fake.

You should react the Virginia Tech Hokies football team entrance to Enter Sandman. Arguably one of the best entrances in college football
