To be affirmed by your contemporaries is great, but to be affirmed by your predecessors is humbling. Congrats Dr. Little!

It’s a great thing to give our founding fathers a platform to reminisce and tell the uncompromising history of our stories history. Kudos to Little for interviewing Haughton.

[@kofihemmingway6695]

This is AWESOME. Although I went to FAMU, Most of my family went to Jackson State. Two of my Uncles marched in the band at Jackson State. This show is PRICELESS.

[@SippiFiree]

Mrs. Oatis really is a legend!! To be so small she really did pack a explosive punch. She truly is well organized and she puts her all into what she is doing.

[@donaldjohnson925]

Great interview. The Boom has such a rich history to be proud of. You can still hear that big jazz band sound in all of the arrangements til this day.

[@jacquelinehoward2677]

I also marched under Mr. Haughton as well from 78 - 81 as a clarinet player. It was definitely an honor to have him as my director and his staff. Love you and the great memories. ❤❤🙏🏽

Listening to this interview make me very happy and proud about the direction of my beloved Jackson State University Sonic Boom Of The South. Dr Little had done a great job as Band Director and I think he will be just as great as Director of Bands. Looking forward to the future, and still The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Of The World Jackson State University Sonic Boom Of The South.

I adopted the Sonic Boom of the South in the 70’s when I saw them perform at an Atlanta Falcons game. I am so pleased to hear about it’s rich history.

I wonder if those two twin trumpet players from Brinkley high school know that they are pretty much responsible for the Tiger run on.

[@Kc20243]

I was hoping.to get the explanation of marching in playing Get Ready

[@jheht2000]

That was during Dowell Taylor’s time. He actual did the 360 series giving the history already.

[@Kc20243]

@@jheht2000 No they played Get ready before 1984 when Dowell Taylor took over .....it was during Haughton's time

[@jheht2000]

Michael Davis I’m watch it this afternoon. I believe that Dowell re-wrote it for the version today, but the played it prior to. You’re right.
