at a non HBCU college, everyone gets up and gets refreshments and goes to the restroom during the halftime show. At an HBCU, you go to the restroom and get refreshments during the game and make sure to be back for the half time show.
Exactly
Well said! Even if the football team isn’t doing well the band is always fire!
EXACTLY 👍🏽
HALF TIME, IS GAME TIME‼️
HBCU’s 💯❤️🖤💚
Jackson State is a legendary High-Stepping band!
So much skill and dedication! It was a great video
This band is part of the historically black universities. They put on incredible shows of music, marching, and dance. They are incredible.
It was so good and well planned
@@nickjreactsfor your consideration please RUclips review a historical black college and university battle of the bands ( these are schools like Bethune - Cookman university , Florida Agricultural and mechanical university, my grandparents Alma mater Tuskegee university
Yes, it is and when people tell you that black American people never did anything for America and don’t have a culture. Please believe that it is false breakdancing is cultural dance as well and it shouldn’t be in the Olympics.
Yes just like so many HBCUS.🎉🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤❤
The performers/ dancers should rethink those routines both females and males. That is horrible. Absolutely horrible. That is not what I call dancing. It tells no story, no artistry, no depth, no originality. Dance is respectable. In all fairness other universities have the same low bar too. If they put their mind to it, they can do so much better than those suggestive routines.
The HBCUS MARCHING BANDS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD
FACTS 💯💯💯💯
So True at the best, but my alum - Ohio State ( the best PW) gives them a run for their $$ - check out Michael Jackson's svrl yrs. ago and Earth Wind & Fire tribute that was just done yesterday. I love my tribe, but script Ohio is the best! 2K yrs ago they never did our music, so they at least will try some out in today's world. LOL & SMH at what took them so long!
💯 💯
That's on Periodt! #HBCUBANDS
As a former member of thee Sonic Boom of the South it is hard work and dedication and a little crazy to get this down. In my day we changed the field shower every 2 or 3 weeks.
Wow that’s so cool to have a comment from a former band member, I have nothing but respect for the dedication and skill that goes in to putting on a show like that
Shoo now days it’s every week 😭
❤❤ I grew up going to the games, left my school
On weekends to come, as well! My son is 16 now… I’ll be taking him to both JSU and Valley on the weekends this year! Nothing but respect for THEE Sonic Boom of the South!!! Always.
💙 DA 💥
LOTS OF DEDICATION and most importantly PRACTICE! I don’t know how I use to this and school 😮💨
FBA/ ADOS /Black American culture ..LETS GO!!!!!
Thank you so much for being interested in our culture! Yes those are college students. You can get college scholarships/money for marching band. Most have been in marching bands since at least freshman year of high school. They perform at halftime shows, parades, compete for money/prizes/bragging rights for their school program at competitions like battle of the bands and so much more. Takes lots of time,practice and dedication.
What you’ve just witnessed in this video is a portion of black american culture. And it being showcased at an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). 💁🏾♀️
I’d like to say thank you for giving it a chance. 😊
Yes, we have such a rich culture that is often mocked and laughed at then rebranded and commodified. Some things aren't that easy though, this one of them. 👏🏾
That's my people I'm a Jackson State grad in 1988. I wasn't in the band. However, they've always been top notch🖤
I'm a JSU Alum...graduating class of 87. I return and visit my old school regularly. I still get goosebumps when I see and hear the Sonic Boom.
❤Thanks for checking out our people
JSU one of the best bands in America my hometown
How do they keep in time? It's soul baby! It comes naturally ❤
DAMN STRAIGHT BABY❤❤❤🖤💚
Thank you for watching JSU I, FROM MISSISSIPPI LOVE MY JSU❤❤
Band choreography is all about counting your steps and timing. Beautifully done.
Reminds me of my time in band. I used to love performing. It was so electric. You do all this practice and go over everything over and over until its drilled into your skull, and the lights go up, and it's show time. The best was hitting that last beat when every single person in the band simultaneously knew we all killed it, and we'd still have to be professional up until we got off the field or behind the stage or left the event, and then we'd just lose it screaming and cheering.
Sounds like such a good experience
First Chair Tenor Sax here!! The amount of training, rehearsing, and laps around that field with your instrument over your head (don't come to rehearsal unprepared...lol)..it was all worth it at SHOWTIME!! I sang at our halftime show...along with the marching band!!
Thank you for taking time to watch our HBCU culture. Keep watching! There are more talented HBCU marching bands to see with awesome music, dance and marching styles. Enjoy!!!
Black was built different. God given royalty❤❤❤
AMEN 🙏🏽 TO THAT
Shout out to The Sonic Boom….this from a Florida A&M Alum. #HBCUs✊🏾🐍
🐍🧡💚🧡💚
In high school (secondary/senior) band in Jxn MS, we used all their moves. Always a cut above because of their precision
Same with Texas Southern University and Jack Yates High School. They were the ocean of soul, and we were the baby ocean of soul😂😂😂😂
Same with Texas Southern University and Jack Yates High School. They were the ocean of soul, and we were the baby ocean of soul😂😂😂😂
So glad to see these fantastic bands get the attention they deserve. There are so many more to see like Southern University & Florida A&M. Keep going! 🙂
Was a great video to check out and will be checking out more
The Marching 100 is definitely a band to watch!
FAMU used to own it. But they got in trouble with hazing and have yet to gain back their former wide range public status.
HBCU marching bands have always gotten the attention they deserve, from us. This is part of our culture. There has always been battle of the bands at the college and high school levels what you didn't know😂😂😂
Yep and my Alma Mater Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul!! Whoooo hooooo!!! I’m a Motion Alumni💗💗. I’d love for him to do a reaction on us as well 💗💗
HBCU stands for Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
This is the Magick of Melanated people and has been going on since the beginning of time. It’s so hard to have anything that just belongs to Us. So while you’re admiring everything, Idk how I feel about it. So much the world doesn’t know about Us. So much of Our Story has yet to be told and corrected. We’re more than just a college band. We’re so much more than this world can nor will ever comprehend. Thank you for your admiration.
💯
The school of NFL and Bears great Walter Payton.
NickJ 😂 watching your reactions and listening to your comments… brings joy to me! JSU… Amazing, yeah! 🎶🥁🎺
As a former HBCU "Black Pearl" (Dance girl) this brings back soooo many memories. One of the most wonderful experiences I ever had. Shout out to ECSU Marching Sound of Class!!
I can't explain how much fun this all is, I know people give people in marching bands a hard time for being nerds, and maybe we were and are. But it is the reason I continued to go to school. Loved every minute of it.
They were secretly performing for Usher. He eventually chose them to perform at the superbowl with him earlier this year.
Ok cool cuz I’m like wait the whole performance is Usher songs😆🫶🏾
Extreme dedication for sure....and crazy coordination skills. I could never do it... I am way too clumsy 😂
I think I would be the one to make a mistake and mess up the whole thing, it was a great video to check out.
@@nickjreactsmistakes happen. U wouldnt be the 1st.
You're right about the different camera angles. They were awesome. Great Video and Great Reaction Mate👍🏾💯💯💯
The JSU Band calls themself The Sonic Boom of the South!
We love our HBCU ❤❤❤❤RESPECT TO U🎉🎉
Excellent! 🙌👏♥️ I'm exhausted just looking at them! What stamina you must have to be that great! ❤❤❤
❤️🖤💚Attending an HBCU ALL BLACK COLLEGE BAND SHOW IS A CULTURAL EVENT IN AMERICA ❤️🖤💚
They are so good!!!!
Former Sonicboom Band member ‘16 here. Excellent reaction, I’m a Jackson, MS native and i say the best experience to see is on Saturday during Football season. It’s truly amazing!
#LuvDaBoom

#TheeILove
I like JSU cause you can actually hear the woodwinds.
You got to watch more of the sonic boom of the south!
100% I will be checking out more
There are several HBCU schools such Grambling State University, UAPB, Alcorn State, Alabama State are all great bands
@@nickjreacts I play Trombone it takes alot of a practice is such little time
I got so much respect for the dedication it must take to master a instrument
@@nickjreacts We learn the instruments in Middle school or junior high! High School seniors have to audition for the college band of their choice including the dancers not everyone doesn't get accepted. However, it is an amazing experience & lots of hard work along with keeping good grades
Thee Sonic Boom is the BEST OF THE BEST. Always has been; always will be.
If you live in Jackson, you even get the luxury of hearing them practice many afternoons. It always put a smile on my face to hear them back in the day, when I lived close by the stadium.
Thank you for shining a spotlight on JSU’s SONIC BOOM!
#THEEIAM 💙💙💙
#somuchmorethanaband
I Loved and agree with your reaction!😊
I really enjoyed checking out that video
Yeah I'm from Jackson Mississippi and i would take my children to watch them practice when they were small and i was always amazed at the time and dedication they put into their practices. Their director accepting nothing less from them. They are amazing. I love to watch them. ❤❤❤❤❤ So glad you enjoyed the performance. It's even more spectacular in person. 😊
I enjoy all of your videos. You are such a nice guy. I am an old lady and do not comment a lot but i know it helps with channel exposure. I always watch to the end and try to let the ads run and always hit the like. I will try to leave comments, too. Take good care of yourself, and i will see you in the next one. Sending you blessings, karen
Thank you for your kind words Karen and for watching the videos I really appreciate it
@@nickjreacts
I have learned that kind words are one of the greatest gifts to give someone. I think people have forgotten that in our current lifestyle. Everyone is busy with so much and some may just be shy. But, taking the few seconds to speak a kind word can be so special. I learned that from an interaction with a stranger. I was literally stunned when a stranger ran after me in tears saying that my words had changed her life. The words were true but to me they were just a nice thing to say. I was not prepared for the huge positive and life changing impact that they had on that woman on that day. The interaction changed my life as well as hers. Kind words are true gifts and they only cost a few seconds of time.
When you are learning the sets, they spray dots and color coordinate with the units (drum line=yellow, flags=blue). When you asked how they keep, they are counting in their heads by the count time, and how they do it is by lots of practice and memorization. Once you are out there, if you have rhythm, it just flows and comes naturally. JSU thee I love!!!!
So happy to host them here in Atlanta. They're fantastic. I know they were in Ushers Super Bowl show. I wish I had their energy.😊
That was absolutely amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...I'm from the UK and it makes our colleges look like a bag a shite n boring..
I was on the trumpet line at my HBCU - VUU. We practiced the music every day, the choreo on the hot azz football field after running laps in the heat of the south, and those wool uniforms, whew!...gotta love it. Pep band for the basketball games was a nice break, LOL!
This is amazing 🤩
Really good video, the music was perfect!
You’re saying college. It is actually Uni. In the States, college and university are interchangeable unlike in the UK. So I understand your confusion. Our upper high school grades 11 & 12 are what you consider college. Usually 17 and 18 year olds.
These are all Usher songs 😊
Pull up and watch some band competitions. So many do a wonderful job just like JSU does here. Really want to be impressed by the lines? Watch military or college bands make the 'big turn' during the Tournament of Roses parade on New Year's Day. That is the gold standard keeping in perfect lines while doing that.
JSU getting international love is crazy ❤… S/o to the international fans for the love… I’d love to hear what songs you guys think Jackson State should play?
We make AMERICA GREAT, ALSO MY GRANDFATHER, FATHER AND BROTHER! WHY THEY ALL SERVED HONORABLY IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY AND AIR FORCE! I am a Native American and Black Woman.
WE MAKE THE WORLD GREAT‼️
They're know as The Sonic Boom of the South!
This is the same band play for Usher at the Super Bowl Jackson State University
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed that as well 👍🏼
So glad that you can see this is not easy there is a big difference with the black bands & white bands there is a lot of work in this
Yeah you know the HBCU band is cold when their theme song was release in the 60s and everybody still going crazy when they play it.
I'm from Jackson, and We Love Our Sonic Boom Go JSU. HBCU
Young man I loved your show. I have one comment for you personally. Everyone learns differently. Change your mind set about it being hard. Things you do you can do to perfection. These bands train every day, and dream it and work it out in their mind. Keep showing us good and positive videos. You're one of the more refreshing site today. Chicago. USA
The HBCU bands are incredible. College marching bands overall have a long history in the US, with BIG Ten founding school, Purdue, the first to break ranks (earlier marched in more military formations) and create a formation (in 1906, the Block P), many started to chair step and other formations to create more entertaining shows. They make college football have much more pageantry than pros, part of why college football has exponentially more fans at games, biggest stadiums and fierce loyalties.
THEY PRACTICE, FOOL-FOOL 😂😂
My daughter was a part of "Thee Jackson State University" Sonic Boom of the South during her undergraduate years. We did not miss a game. Yes, they worked long hard hours everyday. We still support The Boom and Thee Jackson State University!l (And No I did NOT misspell THEE, if you know you know)!
*****MY GOD!... WHAT IF THEY COULD GET THE REAL FUNDING NEEDED!!?*
I love the JU though I never went to the school. The impact on the surrounding communities shows in this performance as it does many. Jackson Mississippi does not get much attention though being the birthplace of America’s music and the home of blues. With so much grim that clouds the city, it is a beautiful city in reference to the people.
They do alot of practices, they have 8 counts for the steps they take, and the moves they make. The drum major and Band director help with memory as well. Hope this helps ❤
The Sonic Boom of The South! Jackson, Mississippi!
The Sonic B💥O💥O💥M Baby!!!!
"how do they know where to go? Ummmm... practice? It's called practice. 🤦 "How do they sound so good?" Ummmm... practice?
Thanks for watching and commenting
Always amazing JSU!
It’s fun being apart of a band family. Yes hard work yet fun. Majorette and dancer Claflin College now University. Nothing like a band especially when they preform old school music. Love all my bands. HBCU ❤
Come to the games, it so many of them! HBCU, come enjoy the half time experience!
Love your reaction and commentary
Outstanding ❤❤❤
It’s a lot of hard work of course to be perfect but a lot of it is effortless because we have natural rhythm 🥁 🎶
Muscle memory, snap and drive playing counting in your head. If I tried to look at the lines I would mess up. Knowing your sheet music will help you a lot. If you don’t know that music your body naturally will stop.
Asians do synchronized marching too. They just don't put it to music.
I live about five minutes away from JSU stadium.
Amazing
I've been in marching band in school, and it isn't as difficult as you might think. 1). You already know how to play the instrument, and 2). before you get on the pitch you learn the song so that you can play it by memory. Then 3). you just learn your placements on the field in relation to where you are in the music. All in all, a performance like this might take 6 months to a year to learn.
They dont have that kind of time. Football season. not including the playoffs, is like three months. They probably have 2 halftime programs, plus their pregame programs to perfect before that time. Band camp durations vary, so they probably learned that program and the others in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Yall way off. That show took a week to learn and a week to perfect. A total of 2weeks. Most times we only get a week to learn AND perfect. It's way harder than u can imagine.
No. This ain’t that. This is professionalism, dedication, motivation, talent. HBCUs don’t play the same routine for a football season.
@@karlinlee7908much respect! I used to come just to see the band and it was never the same routine, but always amazing and perfect. On the field and in the stands… JSU is in our MLK parade every year. One year it was looting down raining… yall still showed out and the parade was still packed ❤
@@moonlit9608I’m so old…I still think in terms of the “Soul Bowl” in November…before you know…we got more high society. 😀
Practice, practice, practice!
I can proudly say that my daddy is from Jackson. Mississippi, they may not be the richest state. But what Hbcu's have given black people and people try to copy, they can't? I was actually in England I grew up there for a bit of time, and I knew how to step because my dad was it drillmaster, and he taught me how to step. You haven't seen nothing. Watch a major red battle that is amazing as well. I'm a southern, I know, but tell Texas, Mississippi, represented right here
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is nice. JSU Sonic Boom is excellent. The acoustics in this stadium are not good but they handled it well.
Alma Mater '87 Sonic Boom Of The South JSU🤍💙💙🤍
💙🤍ABSOLUTELY🖤AMAZING!!!!!!!
🤩🤩🤩🤩
WE WAS ROBBED!🤬
Jackson st?! Man go check out the Marching 100 out of FAMU.
This is next level???? This is normal in hbcus. LOL...
I’m still mad til this day Jackson didn’t win this competition. They definitely got snubbed. They had the best sound better arrangements and field show concept. The judges see who the ppl loved from the views tho 💯
It's okay to say the women are beautiful. I know you wanted to.
They are called the HUMAN JUKEBOX ! I saw them performing years ago when I was visiting New Orleans. Thank you so much for sharing.
We are not called the human jukebox. We are called Thee Sonic Boom of the South.
HOW WRONG YOU ARE!!! READ THE ROOM! THIS IS TE SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH!!!
@@karlinlee7908 You are correct. This expression pertains to SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY.
@@alimazimmer3819 why bring them up when they have absolutely NOTHING to do with this reaction. Try again. 🤦🏾♂️
@@karlinlee7908 It was clearly a mix-up...triggered ahhhh

Do you recognize the songs?
Hi Nick , great channel I invite you to view the Largest HBCU in America NC A&T State University Cold Steel Marching Band (NCA&T) Aggie FanFest Full Performance 2024. Keep up the good work.
You're taking up more of the screen than what you're trying to show us. I can't give you a 👍🏽 because watching you watch the video is very distracting. But the bands are great!
Would love to see them not hear you
Then go watch their video and get off of his page with this nonesense comment
For me, the question is..why are you watching Black People in colleges I. America??? Is this strictly for educational purposes? Or to pick at and make fun of? The NY have you, the content creator, decided with o look at Black Lives in their Black colleges? Answer that, and I may or may not follow you. Okay???
@mackadoo101 It looks like we're the only ones using discernment. There's another channel with some Swedish folks doing the same thing. Some of us are aware of their ulterior motives. Historically and until this very day, the folks all over the world study us, steal what we've created, then call it their own. I'm never impressed or get googly eyed whenever they seem interested in what we've done or what we're doing. Their intentions are never good.
There are plenty reactor react!ng to this nothing new believes or not a lot of people from overseas never seen college marching bands in this capacity or even competitions what's so strange it's a reaction channel many people requests this duh 🙄
@@JG-tr9py Both of ya'll need to go touch grass because wtf? Relax. You sound triggered and paranoid right now. Really doing too much. The man is getting request FROM BLACK FOLK to watch and react to this. Leave him alone with the stupidity.
