Boombox Classic Battle of the Bands Jackson State vs Southern 2022 

That first song from Jackson gave me chills… peep the band director caught the Holy Ghost at 1:24

I never look at it as winners and losers I love what every band brings. I'm just a crazy old white guy in love with HBCU bands. I'm hooked!

Love the pageantry, showmanship, musicality and sheer enthusiasm. Dancers from SU were phenomenal. Both groups did a super job. Lots of hard-working band members, dance teams, directors on display. Congratulations to all.

It's a tie. 2 of the best to ever do it. There own styles, pen game on point and musical and crank 👑 .

Debate who won all you want but it’s clear these two bands are the standard for HBCU bands. And I’m a Grambling grad marched 3 years. They on another level. The crowd was amazing also.

Two of the best in America! Bar none!!!! Thank you HBCU, you all should be very proud.

Jackson trumpets shocked tf out me!!

Whew JSU and the musicality, and those piccolos + Dawg Team!!!

This fire ass song is called King's Affirmation. Go Jackson State! You made Mama proud! 🔥🔥🔥

MAN THIS IS A BATTLE OF THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTERS AND BOTH KIANNA AND ASHLYN BOTH KILLED IT 💙🤍💙💛

Both bands ROCK!!! The dancers for for SU are the epitome of grace, elegance, and class. Its obvious that they are trained dancers.

BABY KIANA WAS DANCING DOWN😩🤩 BEST THE JSETTES LOOKED ALL SEASON😍

I was glad to be there in person

As an old ex-sax player I have to say SU did a better job. Both amazing but it seemed to me SU was more in tune and balanced.

Both Bands were phenomenal.🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's the Jukebox for me!

😍🥰Thats what I’m talking about JSU every song/ arrangement was on point 😊yeah with confidence we’re number 1 🤨 Jsettes Captain you snapped baby girl keep that same energy Love ❤️, Shelby😘🥰😍😘🥰😍😘🥰, Dej 😏😏😏😏come through “@&$ through 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥its Giving. WT, 😂😂😂😂y’all always have been my favorite drum line even when I was in the band WT was my favorite the SWAG is UNMATCHED!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Salute! UNiquely American ! A much more respectable part of the college culture, more than NCAA football run and operated by corporate greed. If I were US president these horns would be the new anthem. only then i might actually pledge allegiance like a SOLDIER! they're energy and precision timing in my eyes should have guaranteed them all full paid scholarships. Dancers AND band members, that's hundred of hours of effort and dedication to their craft. and it SHOWS !

Enjoyed both Bands 👏 my top two favorite tonight Su with the edge ☺️ both Tube lines was 🔥

Hands down the J Settes took overrr!!!!

😂😂Dr. caught the Holy Ghost!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Damn Boom 💥 👏

My favorites 12:00 Jesse Powell "you" 15:22 Trey Songz "cnt be friends" 33:10 Tyrese "act like that" 36:00 unknown but 👍🏼 good

As a member of Kappa Kappa Psi, these bands represent the best among HBCUs. We are SWAC.

It's always better to record bands in front with the same view for best quality. This camera is right in front of jsu...should have got in the middle.

This was the battle for me in 2022!! I get chills every time I see this batle. Both bands get me respect. THEY BOTH CAME FOR ALL THE 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

SU song at 41:56 just hyped me all the way up in the gym!

When ever a band is in the middle of rerunning a song and the other cuts thru for that band to stop playing.. to me jsu soul was snatched. If you look at their body language.. their hypness was gone!

SU ONE BAND ONE SOUND SU FOR LIFE

I can't get enough of this battle. This is my 6th watch!! 😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💗💯

Aye. So. JSU gave SU that work. 😕

Ok when JSU TRIED to rerun scared of the dark, SU shut it down.

JSU No doubt about it

I think SU put the hurt on the boom with the arrangements….I think Boom had a better field show a day later. I love the matchup of these two titans . This goes wayyyy back to the 70s when this rivalry was coming into its own. Two of HBCU s finest!

This issssss !! Exciting 👍💪👍👋🔥🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

Jsu won

JSU for the win.

southern surprised me ngl😂😂😭😂

Boom 🔥🔥🔥 almost a tie with the dancerd but I like the Jsettes more.

From a neutral perspective how do you choose who won? Is there a judge? Or is it subjective? JSU band seemed more professional/business like and SU seemed more hyped. I noticed the percussion section for JSU looked and sounded very put together. How do you choose who won?

Iniko The Kings Affirmation is the first song

J Settes 🔥🔥🔥

Man jsu's crowd is so dam rude booing the opposing band during there performance smh 🙄

Baby boom n jsettes came with blood warrr

Incredible show

Jsu tubas are good I like SU better overall something was off about JSU horns that I can’t put my fingers on it maybe a band expert can help me out.

That’s first song was the fire baby JSU💙💙💙

This a classic one for sure!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥💯💗🙏🏼

That Trey Songz was nice

JSU did da damn thang!🎉

Awesome performance by both bands. I gotta give SU the edge on this one.

I love both band but JSU won lol

What a TREAT they were to watch n hear!!! WOW

I have to say I wouldn’t have ever listened to the original song. Well Played JSU.

Su ...... 43.15 Sheeesssssshhhh

Both bands got power and good points and down points but overall we know who the two top tier bands are in this swac universe 🥶💪

Electrifying !!!!!!!

Travis is that dude 💯💯💯💯💯

JSU finish SU with tomorrow 💙💙💙

What’s the name of the first song JSU playing

Nail in the coffin..Man I missed this!

The U blowing dem boyz out main

JSU had no answer for that John Legend Tomorrow. Yikes!!!!

30:23 You're welcome 😊

What was that at 41:56 yeesh

🔥🔥

JSU has the best Tuba section in the nation dawg… and iss not even close… and the RANGE on the Baris! Sheeeeeeeeshhhhh

Whats the name of the first song Southern played it sounds amazing I believe they normally play when they first get in the stands during ganes too?

Jsu is a 4-8 measure/Intro band. Their arrangements/songs go from "nice" to "nahhh this ain't it chief" in a matter of 4-8 measures, every, single, time.

Omg😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 boom!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

I mean both bands might as well have double mellow section the way the baritones are playing 🤷🏾‍♂️ lol they cranking tho

@Pat McAfee sent me here!
