I am a black brit (United Kingdom - UK). HBCU’s are not part of our history BUT boy I loved EVERYTHING about The J Settes and the JSU band. Continue YOUR greatness guys - the world is watching!!!

[@seekerone8368]

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, please continue to bless JSU , now and for years to come, amen. 💯❤️

[@hsbthree]

This is Great, now we need the same history lesson on the Jsettes and the twirlers.

[@jordancourse5102]

I can say how blessed i was to march in Thee Sonic Boom of the South. Greatest experience and still keep up with my section Source of Power to this day. Much respect to the staff and band for continuing the legacy.

[@BoutUnits89]

Let’s keep this series going! I’m loving the history lesson

💙 THEE SONIC BOOM. GET READY

[@joev3066]

That program is steeped with history.

[@woodsoncircle]

Excellent video. This should be viewed by ALL music/marching band lovers. I love history and I just got schooled on the rich tradition of JSU Sonic BOOM of the South.

[@jheht2000]

D. Taylor was the epitome of move in silence when speaking of the Motown performance backstory 🙌🏾

[@carolynjackson7174]

It’s good to know that all the directors are JSU alumni! TheeILove!❤️ Thanks Mr.Taylor for sharing that amazing history of the Sonic Boom!

[@alphoj]

Great documentary and excellent footage. Director Dowell Taylor is Jackson State University. He would make an outstanding President of the University.

[@JamesJones-rx5mn]

This is my first time hearing of him and you can tell he has made it a personal responsibility to keep that history Alive, and it's very rich, just by talking I can tell he bleeds JSU, and just like the president of Bethune cookman a son of ccokman and brought the band and staff to where it is since the 81, and just last year became president and I felt there is no one more deserving, I definitely feel the same way about Dr. Taylor now, he is a direct product of the start of the program, and to this day continues it, even by picking the staff and preparing the next generation, I can't say enough about how pleasing it was to learn this history, as good as JSU has been all these years people need to see where it came from!

[@anthonydpowell2873]

This is simply awesome. I marched in Thee Boom 1990-91. I had the amazing experience of being one of the first ever Crabs (Freshman) to be on the dance committee. I was selected as apart of the groups that went to Hollywood and the NBA All-Star game in Charlotte, NC. I will never forget the time I spent with the “Summa-cum laude” of bands!!!!!!

[@dewilliecanada7504]

This documentary is phenomenal. I enjoy listening to Sonic Boom when I was a child; from the football games(from zero quarter to the fifth quarter , Band of the Bands, and Parades (which I always love to follow. I even enjoy watching it on KZbin...The LORD is going to really bless this amazing band always known as the Summa Cum Laude of Bands.

[@rwalls15]

Thank you for this wonderful history of the Sonic Boom. I was a member from 1968 to 1971 and it was an experience I still reflect on with fond memories. Just a note: Jimmie James and Harold Haughton were both assistant directors during that period. Dr. James did some arranging but Prof did most of them. James also taught applied lower brass while Haughton taught applied woodwinds. Dr. James conducted the second concert band while Prof Davis conducted the first concert band. Still this is a great story of one of the best bands to ever take the field.

[@RealBron03]

The Sonic Boom has a long, great history behind it.

[@SnapShawwtyTv]

I really appreciate these very informational and professionally done VIDEOS ! Respect ✊🏾 due from fellow neighbor, family and A PROUD bandsmen from Alcorn’s SOD ! History is important this video will inspire many and also influence man ... i would love to see our other Mississippi HBCU’s marching bands enlighten the world on the history and legacy our programs have had and what it took to get to where we are today as a whole! Now the specs will see the connection through all of us in some form ... Thank you ! ✊🏾👏🏾👌🏾💪🏾 Aea ! DOC & GRIFF RAISED ME

[@Kaiden1118]

This was great! I love bands period but my 7yr old son and I have fallen in love with the Sonic Boom. My hope is the public schools keep their music programs so our children can keep going. I still have my clarinet and pray that my son finds an instrument that speaks to him.

[@Deltadoll1987]

History delivered and only the way DT can! many bands have formed their signature sound, drills and marching style from Jackson State! Hopefully, Joshua continue to make even more history, memories and continue 2 keep their lineage by creating more directors and this family institutional learning and music! there is only one Jackson State University Sonic Boom of the South and maybe one day he'll even tell you how they got that name...... "LUV DA BOOM BABY"! #SBOTS'87 #TAYLORMADE

[@kaysee7219]

Excellent documentary of the Sonic Boom of the South. Great job Dowell Taylor in providing us with the history of the JSU Marching Band.

[@carolynjackson7174]

Ken Craig hey!

[@stixxinthecity]

I stand in for Mr.Rodney D.Chism whom was my band director at Hillcrest High, Memphis TN! So proud of my man’s!

[@DeCoriyanMarquis]

He was my band director at Trezevant High 05-06

[@audreychatman1591]

Love this❤️. This shows that the Sonic Boom is really in a class/ league of its own🎼🎼🎼

[@liljroc4620]

This is AWESOME! I've been waiting for something of this nature. As someone who saw The Sonic Boom as a child, I can say there are NO COMPARISONS to the precision, sound, and overall quality of this program. Not just band but PROGRAM! Hats Off JSU!! Keep It BOOMING!!!

[@drummajor101]

*beautiful, lineage and Legacy is so important for the stabilization of marching bands*

[@micbrowne]

17:43 good look 2001 clip Luv tha Boom

[@benji7587]

I just love Professor Taylor's Thelonius Monk like piano playing style!

[@sspann11]

Kermit Holly's son taught me band in the late 80s at Powell Junior High in Jackson Ms. The one thing I remember about Mr. Holly Jr was that he would not let us play JSUs version of "Get Ready". We had to play it just like the Temptations sang it. We hated it at the time but looking back on it, he was genius in believing it more important that we know the fundamentals of playing vs playing what we like. I love the story of the relationship between Dr. Liddell, who is my uncle, and Dr. Taylor. That was funny and was new information I didn't know.

[@Id_rather_be_golfing]

The 833 had to be somewhere in the history of the boom...

[@bmslhs]

That LHS to JSU pipeline is strong 💪🏾

[@BLKnPrd67]

That is a wonderful summary of the SBOTS history.

[@DaNobleguy]

I’m so glad I chose TheeJSU from 2000-2003. Although I transferred, Jackson State is in my family’s blood.

[@dorothyclinton2319]

Very good history and information

[@JamesJones-rx5mn]

Awesome document of the bands history you can tell he has fought to keep the legacy going that he was born into! I'm a FAMU man and always was a fan of the boom, and it's no wonder like the '100, they continue the legacy by raising up a successor that's a son of the legacy! Much respect to Sonic boom rich history, it gives me greater respect.

[@btone03]

Soo much rich information and history that Dr. Taylor covered. I’m glad he even touched on his tenure at my alma mater Kentucky State before his return to Jackson State as band director.

[@reginaldeberhart8521]

Excellent documentary!

[@kingbigshot3281]

What about WAR AND THUNDER???

[@hammerl8]

WT has a history all our own. I'm not surprised he doesn't know enough to speak on it. As we protect it.

[@kingbigshot3281]

@@hammerl8 Wow. Id like to know about it tho. Especially since im a SWAC drummer that looks up to WT.

[@edwinbatiste7550]

Don’t forget to give credit to Dr. Isaac Greggs for your updated uniforms and hats with the plums, horn swing style, and field shows!!

[@devinpowell1276]

Did u not hear this man just say out his mouth who invented that marching style?? Not isaac Gregg's 🤣

[@edwinbatiste7550]

devin powell Yes Sir, I did hear that, but I know that you see a difference in how they marched then and looked then vs how they march and look now.

[@Unstoppable25]

@@edwinbatiste7550 SU needs to Thank the University of Michigan for their COPIED uniforms...lol and thank JSU for incorporating the carolina blue into their uniforms something JSU had BEFORE SU that SU did not have until 1985.

[@edwinbatiste7550]

Unstoppable25 No doubt about it. SU had a band director from Michigan, Dr. Ludwig Freeman. He introduced the BIG 10 Block letter style and precision patterns in motion style marching to SU. Michigan definitely influenced their choice of uniforms, hats, and spats!!

[@sillyfunforeveryone7605]

Pink pride

[@dirtydeltaentertainment1359]

Can we get the energy back by playing Get Ready as our official fight song? Nobody likes cheer boys we are not the SEC. We are the SWAC. Play Get Ready, Spirit. I'm So Glad in the stands and the fans will come back. The Boom has forgotten about the fan experience. bring back the energy
