Sonic Boom Marching Into The Jackson, MS Battle of The Bands 2015

[@MrCcoolg]

There is absolutely NOTHING better than watching a black band high-stepping on the field!! Despite the new rap and trap music, We Still have Soul!!!

Racist POS! It’s just a band, not a black band.

[@amandad.2322]

I know that this is a habit with these bands, but to me it looks ridiculous and undignified, especially when half the instruments are probably not in tune.

[@thecowboy5518]

Such a FANTASTIC band. They were my mom's favorite. I hate she never got to see them in person. She LOVED their drum majors!!!!!

[@JAYYTV_Vids]

That introduction at the beginning was EVERYTHING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MichaelTurner-cd7er]

Coming from a white man, this band is not only famous in the US, but the whole world. People will buy tickets to a JSU game just to watch the half time performance. Everyone loves J S U band.

It’s absolutely electrifying to watch The Boom March in!

[@paddeemuncy26]

Damn, the energy I feel from them, especially the dancers and drum majors!! OUTSTANDING!!!!

[@martin1972win]

I went crazy, and I live in the UK; I also love this game and because we, as a culture, make it a positive art and a professional discipline in preparation for what awaits them on the other side of their academic years in college. Simply culture pleasing. I can't wait for the day to visit and watch a college game, and a band performance....

I'm white I grew up in a white neighborhood I played in a white high school and I'm playing in a white college and even still I love HBCU bands (Literally live like 5 miles away from Bethune-Cookman and our football games were at their stadium). Corps and Show bands both have some amazing moments and I really wish I could experience playing in a show band I just wish there wasn't such a racial divide in my area. My high school was literally like 90% white and our rival high school was the exact opposite and they were a show band so I feel sort of locked out from ever having that experience. I know usually whatever you grow up in is going to be what you're probably going to be stuck in when it comes to band "genres". When it comes down to it Corps are suppose to be about art and beauty and show bands are suppose to be about getting excited and having a good time (not saying I didn't love playing in a Corps style band) but I really REALLY wish I could experience it even for just one season.

[@augustcleavitt]

Go after it...

[@karashj1]

I hope you or your children wiil one day have the opportunity to do that which seems to be a genuine heart's desire but out of reach only because of race.

[@truthbetold-s9u]

Go for it guy ? Check out Vanilla Funk over at Jeff Davis High School in Montgomery Ala. ? He's white at predominately Black School,he 's Head Drum Major,and Dam Good. I think he has a Scholar ship to Alabama St. He's on Utube.

I’m truly a j state fan, but was I the only one that saw the second drum major fall at the beginning. Great reflexes because buddy got right up and continued to show his skills. I believe!!!!
