Growing up in Jackson, it was imperative that you knew the J5 Get Ready routine. Being a dance drum major in high school in the 90s, I watched all my pop's VHS tapes of the band to choreograph our routines. Them dudes were special
@@phillyswiftsteak5188’Drumline’ was about a fictional school at the end of the day. I think Morris Brown being chosen as the nemesis stakes their claim.
@Rhinosaurus1000 it doesn't. Other schools didn't want to be in it like FAMU because all the bands weren't fictional and they said realistically they would never be beat by MBC
🌊🌊🌊 its all love...me being from jackson but marched at texas southern i feel ya i had to get used to their style as well especially growing up watching jackson state dms for years...but dem 3 in the ocean be doing their thing
Don’t act like yall never tried to do a J5 drummajor move. It’s kinda like when you used to lean back and shoot a paper ball in the trash can & say “Kobe!!”
That's stuff is majorette movements, just an extension of those girls yall have in front of your programs... Looks like they are auditioning for Richard Simmons aerobics video
I go season by season really depending on how the band sounds how the drum majors lead and etc. last season this is how I got my rankings. JSU ASU SU ALCORN NCAT
I get it!!! However, HBCU bands are show bands. Therefore, while there is a whole lot that takes place in their single performance, the overall impression left is that of superb teamwork. Not to mention, the whole entire band may perform a choreographed dance at any given moment. With due respect to the talented drum majors, HBCU Bands never ceases to amaze the captivated audience!!! 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎
Subscribed because of the UNA shirt! The Marching Pride always produces on of the best Marching Band performances I’ve ever seen.. I also love da HBCU’s Alabama A&M was my first love, but Alabama State just because of the Honey Bee’s
Y'all don't understand the AURA Purple Haze had. When they came through you knew Morris Brown was out for blood. Greatest field run-on I've ever seen 😮💨
Being from FL glad to see we in the building HARD. Never really paid attention to Bethune 🤔 Def know about Fam but J5… I’ve heard about that Sonic boom… loved this
The SU vs JSU rival has really been restored when Deion started coaching at JSU. Since then JSU band has kicked it up 2 notches. For me it’s really nostalgic watching them compete because I grew up in the SWAC, watching those teams battle every year. Now it’s even better because we have FAMU in the league , their band is hot garbage, I think they get random student together put a uniform on them and tell them to speed walk, it looks boot leg as hell I know all them damn kids don’t know the songs that they play.
He’s right! It was truly a pleasure to march for Thee Jackson State University’s: Sonic Boom of The South! 💂🏾☝🏽🔹Long Live J5 Ambitious Funk™️ 2012-2014
I just recently started watching these bands and I am totally blown away. They are MILES away from the bands in my area. I do wonder, though, with all the talent and hard work that these drum majors put into their performances, what do they do after graduation? What kind of occupations do they find that measures up to all that high energy and extreme work that they were used to doing?
@haywoodlucas6577 I respect your ranking. I would sub bcu with texas southern. Concerning SU, most hbcu bands started with 1 drum major. The old bands were styled after either big 10 conference bands or the military because many founding directors were either military, educated at big 10 schools or both. At SU, we learned hbcu band history---yes, that is a thing only at SU.
@@veronicathomas1877 the gg’s was the first hbcu danceline. Of course they may look similar every single dance team in swac originated from the gg’s style and trendsetting
I’ll be very honest with you, when you said number one is Benedict College… I was like “wtf he ain’t say Jackson State?!” F-- this video man!! 😂😂😂 you got me fr
I love that UNA shirt, Im from the same town so I see them at the (no judges) but almost band comp and at most of the comps out band goes to and they sound amazing every year
One thing that I noticed about a lot of people that do reviews on HBCUs they overlook the independent HBCUs bands they do exist, and they have some phenomenal programs. One who have won the Honda battle of the bands was Langston University.
I'm humble opinion. There are no other drum majors more classy than "Purple Haze". Although Morris Brown's marching band is not former selves. They had a classy "Pat Boom" style that's no longer seen. Wow, miss that marching wolverine band.
I can say he know a little something because he got #1 right Jackson state got the baddest drum majors year after year and yes Morris Brown should have been on the list in my opinion..

I feel bad for people who never saw Morris Brown
Drumline didn't do them enough justice. Morris Brown made a movie with every field show

I absolutely agree with you on the number one spot. JSU is my all-time favorite drum major squad. In my opinion, they said the bar.
No better drum majors in the land than THEE J5🐅🔥
#BIGFacts
Y’all alright 😂
@ck-1769 now how many breaks do they take during halftime in their show.
@@johnn5705 Their performances are worth it
@johnn5705 not nearly as much as the drummajor(s) that do nothing but march in/out with their band🤷🏾♂️.
I definitely agree JSU is #1
Thank you, sir! I'm from Jackson and I KNEW you had them at #1 and you should!!!
🌊🌊🌊 its all love...me being from jackson but marched at texas southern i feel ya i had to get used to their style as well especially growing up watching jackson state dms for years...but dem 3 in the ocean be doing their thing
JSU J5 for sure
J5... Your favorite drum major/ sqaud's favorite Dm Squad #Thee
GREAT VIDEO! But Don’t forgot about us in the band media list lol. I definitely see our footage in this video
Don’t act like yall never tried to do a J5 drummajor move. It’s kinda like when you used to lean back and shoot a paper ball in the trash can & say “Kobe!!”
THEE Sonic Boom of the South! J5 is all that !
Everybody knew #1 before they pressed play 😂

Facts and if you thought different then your being a hater 😂
We NEED a ranked Drumline video
MDF$ & Cold Steel are 1&2...the rest are competing after that
All great!!! Jist think Alabama State higher than #7, IMO. So clean!
That's stuff is majorette movements, just an extension of those girls yall have in front of your programs...
Looks like they are auditioning for Richard Simmons aerobics video
I agree 100% with the J5 simply the best!!!!
Yeessssss! SONIC BOOM 🧨🧨🧨🧯🧯🧯❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥OF THE SOUTH!!!!!
You got number 1 right. I feel like they unmatched
Nothing like J5! At one point in time, that was the only reason I wanted to go to college.

You made a respectable effort, I respect what you did here. Coming from a BCU Marching Wildcat Alum...
JSU go so hard. Been watching them since I was in grade school. I remember when the campus like a community college. We came a longggg way
This is by far the most accurate ranking I have seen thus far. Great choices homie. ✊🏿
Much respect for you. Don't worry the subscribers are coming.
As a NSU alum I give JSU their props!
J 5 my favorite drum majors and my favorite drum lime.JSU got done dirty in ATL at the band competition.JSU is the best band in the land

Shilo Sanders hit the J6 in Colorado after he scored a touchdown in a power 5 game. What more proof do you need.
Lol I was there when Super 6 was created!
Luv Da Boom! 💂🏾☝🏽🥏

PV is def top 3
Definitely
Agreed
Facts
Lol That picture of Donovan Wells is mine. I took that at Classic 2019. Nice video dude.
You was about to catch it if you ain’t Norfolk. They are one of the few Drum majors that “conducts” the band at all times.
@@TomazHilton well said. A lost art.
Fantastic video. I find these drum majors so cool and such a great addition to the bands.
videos keep gettin better, keep ts up bro
I'm SU all day but love Jackson State drum majors and band.
J5… THEE BEST IN THE LAND
Jackson State Band “ Boom” is the standard
Not when FAMU is the blueprint 😂

Bro yall Alcorn they top 5 they give you energy fr fr and jsu number 1 they really birth a lot of schools drum majors 🔥
He’s right!

I am glad you mentioned NSU!!! Though smaller than some of the bands way down south!! A trip to SPARTA will Thrill! BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD💚💛
Can I quietly say, SWAC, got his numbers!!! Go SWAC!!
Ima let you slide with FAMU being #2 bc I love the J5 as well!!
Let me help you out, PV Drum Majors are called "Cat 5" or "Category 5" as in Hurricane category 5.
Ok I was bout to cook you. But you got the right ones at #1 😤 great thumbnails clickbait 😂😂
HAIL”WILDCATS🐈🐈#BCU
Thee J5. No others compare
SU #1 only need one D Major…smooth with swag
ass
Great video, J-5 💯.... one suggestion .... better background, no disrespect .
I will definitely say that number one is JSU drum majors
I agree with your number one. I am a JSU alum. And you’re right you are right!!
#thee mold was broken when #J5 was created
#LuvDaBoom
I agree with #1 TheeILove! They are definitely the best.💙

Da boom💙💙💙
Jackson state is 100% deserving of number one
I Think Southern DMs are a class by itself…other than field show intro
His top 5 are about right. BCU, A&T, FAMU, JSU were dead on. I would have gave SU the honorable mention only b/c they have one drum major.
@haywoodlucas6577

@@veronicathomas1877 the gg’s was the first hbcu danceline. Of course they may look similar every single dance team in swac originated from the gg’s style and trendsetting

I believe the Jackson State J5 excels in showmanship, while the FAMU Marching "100" DM demonstrates excellent leadership.
FAMU's drum majors are classy. Love their precision.
3:27 The flying kick thing came from J5.
#1 was definitely correct.
the background beat is slappin
DJ how i just run into your page out of no where 😭😭
J5 is number 1
Good stuff, #8 Alcorn is pronounced "ALL Corn". The 2nd L is invisible.
One thing that I noticed about a lot of people that do reviews on HBCUs they overlook the independent HBCUs bands they do exist, and they have some phenomenal programs. One who have won the Honda battle of the bands was Langston University.
Great video bro Subscriber #820
Shout out to Andre Ross, SU drum major from 1983-84. He started it all. The Human Jukebox IS the standard!!!! Great top 3.

It’s one thing to put FAM in front of JSU that’s a matter of taste but all the others are bums by comparison.
I wish we could’ve seen more footage of the drum majors, then we could judge for ourselves 🤷🏼♀️
I'm humble opinion. There are no other drum majors more classy than "Purple Haze". Although Morris Brown's marching band is not former selves. They had a classy "Pat Boom" style that's no longer seen. Wow, miss that marching wolverine band.
Jukebox....show him....show him...show him some love
Old SCSU DMs used to be nice
Hell yes they were.
Nobody does it like J5
I love to hear Jackson state play no one does it better …
Do one on top 10 drum lines
The most imitated drummajors among showstyle marching bands are the Jackson State University J5 Drummajors
Lowest rank for scholastic achievement but #1 in useless crap 😂
PV slept on
Texas Southern! Ocean of Soulllllll!
I can say he know a little something because he got #1 right Jackson state got the baddest drum majors year after year and yes Morris Brown should have been on the list in my opinion..
Preciate tha Love to PVAMU DM’s CAT5 2LIVE!!!!
You got it right JSU

Thank you for adding SCSU
