Jackson State Marching Band Halftime at ULM

[@thesoundoftoday]

As the band director for The Sound of Today - I wanted to share my appreciation for the Jackson State Sonic Boom of the South. They are one of my favorite college marching bands (of any style) and watching them yesterday was an incredible experience. My daughter grew up listening to JSU on KZbin as a baby/ toddler and still watches their videos (almost 4). Yes, we have different ways about expressing our performance, but both can be appreciated. We do not have 300+ members, but I’m very proud of my 115 students that show up day in and day out to work on our craft. We are working on getting better every day/ week/ year and have been successful in my 3 years at ULM. I will always be a fan of the Boom and hope that others would help encourage my students as we work towards growth and shared appreciation for our respective cultures. Go Warhawks!

That is beautifully said! You all had an awesome halftime!

[@vecarter569]

As a JSU Alumni, we fans of the Boom appreciate the opportunities our band takes to perform at various places. Many youtube watchers are musicians or fans of various music styles and band styles. We can show appreciation to each other (like you said). Music can indeed bring joy and be shared. We wish you and your students continued success with your music program. Hope to be invited again to your stadium and other performances at your university...and vice versa. 💙🤍

I had to come back to this video after watching "heel-toe ULM" halftime 😂 I now understand why ULM has mics for their band and why JSU was busting through ULM stadium speakers

No mics 😎

Look up " T.W. Josey high school marching band.. 90's era. The real " Sonic boom of the south " straight from Augusta, Ga. Morris Brown recruited alot folks from that high school !

[@Downfield1992]

They sound good. The lines were slightly off at times but great job with recovery. This is a nice performance

[@dripsipp]

The lines were not off. It was the angle of the drill during transitions.
