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.
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.
As a former HBCU Marching Band Member, not only do we have to remember the steps, timing, routines, etc....We must also learn the music. We had to prove we knew everything. We also would change routines often. Plus we had to get ready for homecoming, parades, special events, etc.
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.
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
❤❤ 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.
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. 👏🏾
Black American culture here. I went to my first JSU Homecoming game in 1988. The Sonic Boom of the South is one of the best and most consistent HBCU bands to ever do it! 💙
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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!!!
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! 🙂
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 💗💗
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.
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. 😊
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
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!!!!
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!
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
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
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
@@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.
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)!
💛 👍🏽Thank you for giving this a watch and appreciation for the enormous dedication in takes to give a performance like this. It’s inconceivable that to the worst of us 🇺🇸, this performance is brought to you by people who, as a race are considered to be vulgar, lazy and unintelligent, but if this show was put on a world stage in competition with other nations there would be flag waving, and patriotic chants of, “U-S-A, U-S-A!” “We’re” sending out our best and most talented 🙃 Look how “we” dominate and drive culture around the world. I know this type of sentiment is not just exclusive to the United States. Watching the way many French citizens reacted to Aya Nakamura during the Olympics, made that crystal clear. It’s always sad to watch our talent and presentation be lifted up but still be generally dismissed as a whole as people in society.
As a HBCU alum (DSU) and a band member, we practiced long hours to get it right. I was doing this stuff in the 7th grade. When I was in college it was nothing to walk into my room at 9-10pm.
@@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
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.
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.
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 ❤
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?
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.
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 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 ❤
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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 ❤
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 💯

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
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. 😀
Asians do synchronized marching too. They just don't put it to music.
WE WAS ROBBED!🤬
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 💯
Jackson st?! Man go check out the Marching 100 out of FAMU.
This is next level???? This is normal in hbcus. LOL...
