[@MRSOFFICER2012]

Brenda Bodwin well you haven’t seen a Miami highschool Band, this is nothing, they are good but OMG there are some great one out there in Florida and Georgia

[@jeanetteharris625]

I love this band. I’m sorry there are people who don’t. I have done some research on southern high school bands and watched videos of contests between different ones. JDHS stands out every time. Justin beat out several boys wanting to be leader. So what if he is white. The school is primarily black but has some white students. It says a lot about the school to select a white boy to be leader. All the other southern high school bands I have watched the drum majors lead in front of dancers and flag bearers. These are high school kids. I can’t even imagine the hours of practice these boys put in developing the routines and getting them down pat. I have never seen them mess up. They are from the south and the band is primarily black from a primarily black school. They have their own culture and dance moves. I think they do a fantastic job. The band is so good. The director deserves a lot of credit. Some people would have them marching like an all white band from other parts of the country. BOO BOO HISS HISS!! This band is filled with beautiful kids who are talented and proud of themselves and their school. If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. They deserve respect for all their work and talent.

[@mjason28]

What a lot of people don't seem to understand about Band Kids... it's about the music, friends and entertainment. I'm a proud Marching Band Alumni. Those that have never marched or participated in the marching band program will never understand. And, there aren't enough words to explain it. If you have kids in Elementary school getting ready for middle school, get them into the band program!

[@jjones317]

Very well said.

[@queenslyric800]

I am one of these people who is the product of what is called a predominantly black band etc. I graduated in the 1990s. Let me put this in some more perspective. My high school was mixed meaning it was in what was considered a black neighborhood back then. In order to keep up with the regulations of the school board they would bus people from the neighboring town into the city in order to make sure the school was racially balanced. Back then the city only had 8 high schools. Mostly like the teacher who taught you in middle school band would teach you all the way through and if you went to college in the city at the HBCU then you had either the the same teacher or a teacher taught by doc. We were lucky. What was wrong with this picture though was culture. In 1996 one of our 2 drum majors was white like Justin. We thought that it was awesome. He went along with the white dancer. What's the issue? We have white everything else in every other thing? Who knew there were unwritten rules. They tried out like everyone else. Then we found out it wasn't even the parents at our school that had the problem. It was the school board and parents at other schools. Thank God this was before social media and everyone could afford a cell phones because the newspaper was bad enough. Boycotting games over this was ridiculous. There ended up being a race riot at my school and to this day I don't believe it was started by the people that attended my school at the time. People would come from other schools to our school and fight all the time. I was glad that our drum major and dancer did not quit through adversity because more races came to the band the next year. They had no idea they could because no one tried before. They just assumed. Marching band for black people. Concert band is for everyone. Someone has to break down walls.

[@sheilalong7474]

Jeanette Harris well said! Their stamina amazes me also!!

[@ronlegaspi8590]

As one of the few filipino/asian in all black High School I was treated well and felt at home. These kids work hard and deserve the best...but when I went to an all white school I was called a gook during middle school and also my freshmen year in high school, I was bullied for being different.

[@walteralter9061]

That band has the whole package. Great rhythm section, tight band, dancers on the money and majors with some killer moves. You try walking a mile putting your toes down first. Respect.

[@debbiecobb5757]

Shannon Cavanagh they need to submit a video sometime before school starts in the fall and they decide who they will invite.

[@codebrker24]

To be in the Macy's Day Parade, you have to not only come in 1st place in a major parade, you also have to come up with some serious cash. The entry fee 20yrs ago was $250,000 and then you had to come up with hotel, travel, food. My band had everything but the cash. We just couldn't raise enough in such a short period of time. Also, we didn't reach out to the community and surrounding areas.
