Init.. This is something that would benefit a large amount of people n acc get a large amount of people into music they most likely would care about.. for some reason here in London schools prefer the classical choir and performance shit.. which made me fall out of music.. I cant lie if they had stuff like this I deffo would hve continued music cuz this stuff seems so fun
ironically, this IS what they used to have as halftime entertainment. before big money and commercials sucked away exposure to really good marching bands. . til late 70s maybe the ads started pushing entertainment away
I’m from Vegas and I was here at this game, this was my first time seeing an HBCU band perform and it really inspired me so much. I’m forever pissed at whoever said side to side marching was “professional” and not this style. In my band I don’t think we’ve ever seen a crowd this hyped and we’ve definitely never actually people clapping and cheering at our formations. Why can’t we do stuff like this 😭😭❤️
Ppl got to understand... Being in the band from the south was special... From elementary, high school to college... Our band directors presented us the music/songs for the show.. we rehearsed/memorized each n every song.. didn't need no music sheets... Long rehearsals and late evening halftime show practices.. formations, dances n etc... But when it was "showtime" it was well worth it to see and hear the applauds n adulation from the crowd... Memories i will always cherish...
@@judisheldon6848 That's why they were invited to the Rose 🌹 parade, which is the most esteemed parade in the 🌎 with viewers all around the globe. Stop your hatred and give these students credit.
@@kevinmcgaw1192 Trust me....it wasn't the "girls' that got them invited to the Rose Parade. The band and flag bearers in and of themselves are of high quality. How do i dare critique ? I participated in and then directed some of the earliest drum snd bugle corps dance drill teams. Today's teams earn multiple national competition awards WITHOUT finding the bump and grind and "body stroking" a necessary part of their routines.
@@judisheldon6848 Drum corps style and show style are two different types of marching bands styles and the top bands in their respective styles are good in their own way If stuff like this isn't you're into then cool but just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's bad. There's a bunch of schools who doesn't have this types of marching band who wished they did because they are entertaining. I don't like drum corps style but you don't see me insulting the style just because I don't like it. Take a chill pill and stick to what you prefer 🤷🏾♂️
I was there for the game. The fans of UNLV really enjoyed the boom. They treated the JSU fans with a lot of love and HOSPITALITY. Everyone on both sides was on there feet. Jsu lost the game, but The SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH CAME TO SIN CITY AND SHUT IT DOWN.
This is why you can’t date anyone in the band unless you’re also in the band/chorus. Do you know how long this takes, how many hours of practice a week. You’re not getting any attention from them.
Yea these young adults are not only doing a great job in the performances but it takes months of endless training to prepare for these events. But on top of that many have scholarships so they have to maintain their GPA as well so they can continue to stay on the band.
Wow, I didn't know that they had gone out to UNLV and cut a fool like that.... And gave them a taste of almost every "JSU" tradition. I've said it once, I'll continue to say it, there are many fantastic HBCU bands, but there will NEVER be but ONE "Sonic Boom"💥....
I'm so sick of watching these bands on RU-vid...I wish a T.V Network would showcase this talent on a Reality Show!!! One that would stand the test of time not like the ones that last just a few episodes!!!
be thankful you have youtube, back in my day we had that one grainy band tape in band class to watch or we had to wait for the one game they showed on BET or the Bayou Classic to see them.
Solid first performance. Sounded like people were singing along. That's really all I hoped for, that they would showcase what the BOOM and JSU are, but also do something familiar or that the people at UNLV can relate to.
Again, i must say it was good to have the Boom out here in Vegas. It made my night to be around SWAC band action. I was missing my dear old college home. It was so good to see everyone who was was in the boom while I was working with yal. 2005-08. Please come again. Yal did an awsome job. Continue to listen to Mr. Little he is a great person and know what he talking about. I am proud to have worked with him when he was a drum major. Luv da boom!!
AMAZING footage +JSU Bands. JSU did an awesome job representing all HBCU bands. I'm just now realizing the percussion section drilled the field as well. I wish they continue to do so. The drill was precise, and I saw no flaws in it. I loved how the crowd joined in during the drill. The Jsettes were beautiful, and they slayed the field as expected. Awesome season opener JSU.
JSU has always been one of my favorite bands. They always show love to whatever city/state or school they are visiting!!!! Love you guys!!!! One band one Sound!!! 🎼🎵🎷📯🥁 🥁💯💯
@@Lisa_Evers Thank you❤❤I'm so happy someone else said the same thing I've been saying. Beyonce is a rip off. All of her moves her routine she stole from HCBU Jackson State drill team J setts. She should have been made to pay the schools or she should have at least donated to their programs. People talking about we should have been happy she included HCBU in her show Well nawl her ass should pay her dues.
The Tiger Run On and the OSU Ramp Entrance are the two best band entrances period!! That run on is so unbelievably tight it’s ridiculous. Love the DM choreography before ushering in the entrance of the band. This shit NEVER gets old and is always well executed. Exceptional job as always JSU.
I’m a big fan of the boom and I’ve watched documentaries about the boom’s rich history. I’m just curious. But did you go to Hollywood with the boom in 1990 ?
There is so much passion being expressed from these band members. They are in alignment and are expressing their love and beautiful abitilies for music.
And THAT’s how it’s done - BOOM💥! So much respect and appreciation, for JSU learning a new segment to their already intricate and physically demanding routine, to spell out ‘Las Vegas’ and ‘UNV’. First Class! 👏🏼👍🏼
Pledge " We Pledge to serve as ambassadors of good will at Jackson State University. Presenting ourselves as a showcase of Musical Excellence, Elegance, Espirit De Corps, and Dignity........... LOVE THE BOOM!!! To this day, that is still Branded into my soul just like my Sigma, K.K.Psi, and Sinfonian Brands cover my arms, legs, and chest!!! W.T. Crab of 95 I marched over 20 yrs ago and still remember the Pledge, and how much it meant to me, because you always remember what's important to you.
I'm just an older white Mama, but I marched in 2 different university bands, Such HUGE respect for the HBCU groups that work their hearts out, rep their communities and further the importance of respect for ALL people, especially our fellow country men and women. I HOPE to be so privileged to see a live performance one day,
I'm frm Cali they dnt kno bout the sonic boom I kno LV was amassed when they seen yal play I just know they won't never forget that nite lol I wish all the hbcu bands could perform in the west coast cuz they don't know what they are missing all they know in the movie drumline😂😂 but yea good job yal #MyAsu🐝💛
If JSU made it to Vegas then sooner or later somebody from the Pac 12 will invite an HBCU (probably SWAC not MEAC) I can see SC, UCLA, Cal, Arizona, or Zona St. doing that.
Ok, I'm sorry but that intro is just down right BAD ASS! I can't get enough of that! Check out the Drum Majors hands.....it's as if they are commander the bands movements.....but that's what Drum Majors do isn't it!😁 But at this pace it's simply dope!
No disrespect--the BEST PERFORMANCE is Ohio State University's Michael Jackson Tribute--with the GLOVE and ALL! Love HBCUs--have to big UP OSU for THAT one, though! Check it OUT!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dxUIYIWRpL8.html
