Coming from a former member of The Sonic Boom (1990 -93), this was a spectacular show....the arrangements showed teh band's power and technical skills and the DMs and J-Settes show why they are always copied. Loved thsi show ....so proud of my Alma Mater!!!!
Agree, the double X was a cool move and very well done. That straight line as you call it is a company front, in this case from 10 to 10 yard line. Also very well executed.
Please understand it's not easy to march the whole band in a single line and keep the intervals. And the two straight lines turning, the people on the ends have to take giant steps and maintain spacing. Clapping my hands hard👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Same here. I only marched in high school, so to see how clean the lines are, how good the spacing is, everyone hits the yard lines in 8 exact steps, perfect pinwheels - it's so satisfying to watch.
Understood. When I was in the boom, the taller people were always on the end thats swinging out cuz they could take bigger steps. The shorter person was always the pivot. Not easy by any means but we made it look seamless!! Luv da Boom!!
I was wondering if someone would tag Usher. 🥰 Maybe he needs a backing HBCU band for his Superbowl performance next year (hint, hint). Prince had FAMU performing with him at his Superbowl appearance. Come on, Usher, the Boom would do you proud at Superbowl!!!💙🙏🏾💙 THEE I LOVE!!!!
That is an overall win for the BOOM. They did the Usher field show and executed very well. Everything that other HBCU bands does, The BOOM will find ways to make it so dominant, no other band will never do. It is a win for JSU.
This show is crazy. The way they wrote these songs, the drills, the J-Settes, the slow song. The Sonic Boom of the South is the best band in the country and this show solidified that. They just set a new standard for everybody.
Jsu have set the bar so high. Those drum majors are simply one of a kind often duplicated and admired by all and i see a lot of their moves in other bands across the land.
Coming back here again after they performed at the Super Bowl halftime for Usher. They manifested and deserved it. My head canon is Usher watched this and said “That’s it. Get them to my show.” MS on top! Jxn forever baby, I grew here and am proud!
If Usher wants to have a awesome super bowl halftime show he needs to hire these guys. They already know his songs and they do a incredible performance.
- I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again, From TOP to BOTTOM, this was an amazing field show!!! Them Settes were not playing honey, even during the intro & the travel to the back💋 BOOM, play the Jams please!!!!! Y’all sound so refreshed & beautiful. I love it🥹👏🏽 You Got It Bad had me wanting to sing… them once again them Settes came through & BUST through as only they can🔥🔥🔥 LeNeia, you don’t understand how much your creativity is truly appreciated, please stay close & continue to help with fields… IT WAS THAT GOOD 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 JaNelle & Biee, y’all better LEAP okay🔥🔟 Ohhhh Chile the ending was just right!!! I’m not okay over here 🤯🤯😭😭👏🏽👏🏽🫶🏼🫶🏼
I’m lost, How did they not win… Even…now looking at the performance it still send chills as you hear the melody and timing played in this performance… WOW!!!
This is highest Level of perfection you can get from a band. They must ALL have a BRAIN of a DOCTOR or some type of SPECIALIST. I would most definitely want them on my team. THE BEST, THE BEST.
@@sirennoir258 Hmmmm...I am not sure how to take your comment, but I was a member of a high school marching band. I did not have the privilege to join on the college level.
@@sirennoir258 What's your point? I performed exceptionally well in school, earning scholarships and consistently making the Dean's List throughout college.
Jsettes gave us physical agility, tenacity, acrobatic dance, and stunts that no other dance team did that night.🔥🔥🔥 The band was incredible with precision, drill, show style and swag with no gimmicks or props and that’s why the Sonic Boom of the South is the best band in the land.💙💙💙
Jackson State you are absolutely what I remember a band should look like. You sound great, formations are great, the drum majors, majorettes; everything about this performance was absolutely awesome. It brings back memories of a truly great BAND💂🏾♂️💂🏾♂️🎼🎶🥁🎺🎷
WOW JUST WOW!!! Thank you Jackson state for another outstanding marching season. From the stands to the field shows, you were never short of entertainment! Congratulations Sonic BOOM for your continuous achievements!!
this year we were blessed with 5 of the finest black men in the south as drum majors and they didnt get all the attention and shine like the drum majors last year. I've been a big fan of the boom since i was in middle school no matter how many times i see them perform live I'm always in awe of crisp and clean the sound is. they deserve every award known 2 man
KB the Band head said it during Thee Merge that the Sonic Boom was different this year. They’ve always been fire 🔥 but 23-24 all that hard work has paid off!!! So I salute you SBOTS and Jsettes!!!!! Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you all for giving me so much enjoyment and happiness over the years. As a senior citizen I use your videos to keep my spirits up. A special shout-out to my favorite section...THE CYMBALS! YOU ROCK!
They killed all them Usher songs sheeeeesh Sonic Boom!!! Definitely miss being a kid at my Grandma house following the band marching down Alta Vista whenever they practiced💯💯💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Amazing performance!! No other band in the world can come close and I stamp that!!😤💪🏾🔥💯
@@jacquilyngerman3913 Facts it's so deep that I use to take the bass drum from my drum set strap a belt to it and take it with me to the basketball games just to play it next to the band lol I also took drum lessons at Jackson State at the time as well💯💯 The impact they have on the community is amazing!💯💪🏾🙏🏾💛 #HBCU

The SOUND...The EXECUTION...The Clever Opening.....THEE SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH. SWEPT THE ENTIRE SEASON.🌬🌬🌬🌬See ya'll in a few weeks here in Pasadena, CA!
Jsu is the best band in the country. My old high school, Alma Mata, did some of the jsu performances. When I attend high school in Mississippi. Mississippi is slept on and underestimated. Much love from where I now reside in Memphis TN.
I just seen a video of one of the JSU ALUMNI talking about Usher wanting a band to perform with him for 2024 SUPERBOWL halftime show back in OCTOBER of LAST YEAR....he reached out to DR. LITTLE and it went from there 😍🥰.....THAT'S WHY THIS ⬆️ TSBOTS WHOLE FIELDSHOW WAS DEDICATED TO USHER....WHAT A WELL KEPT SECRET....Eventhough they didn't win ESPN BAND OF THE YEAR AND THAT'S OK....BUT LOOK AT GOD...THEY ARE FOREVER KNOWN & REMEMBERED FOR PERFORMING IN THE 2024 SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW WITH USHER & ALUMNI BAND TOURING WITH J COLE AND DRAKE....ALSO MARCHING IN 2025 ROSE BOWL PARADE in PASADENA, CA...IM GONNA HELP DONATE TOWARDS THAT AS WELL BECAUSE I LOVE YALL REPRESENTING HOME STATE "MISSISSIPPI" AND HBCU's........CONGRATULATIONS TSBOTS AND DR. LITTLE ...IM SO PROUD OF YALL....I'm pretending like I'm with yall looking in the camera screaming "MOMMA WE MADE IT" ❤ 🙌☝️
Naw give the BOOM their flowers 💐 truly unmatched !! And SETTES I could cry cause yall really just ate everything but this field like sealed the deal! And the ending 🙌🏾 like the cherry on top
OMG......THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT (IN MY JILL SCOTT VOICE) THE COMPLEXITY, LEVELS, AND LAYERS THAT WENT INTO THAT JSETTE PERFORMANCE MY GOD, IT WAS PHENOMENAL I HOPE WE GET PERFORMANCES LIKE THAT FROM NOW ON BECAUSE THE TALENT THEY HAVE ON THIS TEAM IS SUPERIOR AND THIS PERFORMANCE SHOWED ALL THE GIRLS STRENGTH
Wooooowwww…this was a masterclass in modern day marching band entertainment. From the fusion of Blowin’ and Superstar, the J-Settes being integrated in the performance from beginning to end, the drills, and for sure Kevan’s arrangements and the curation of them throughout the show, this was IMPECCABLY done!! I couldn’t be prouder of where the Boom is and where it’s headed. And all AFTER the end of the semester! God bless the students and the staff💙🤍 #LuvDaBoom
Salute to THEE JSU SBOTS from a proud Hampton University Pirate!!! This show was EXCEPTIONAL and playing the songs of my man USHER...Chef's Kiss!!! Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
This show is impeccable! I am proud of the entire staff and the students of THEE SBOTS👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Amazing performance. Another one for the history books 🤍🔥🔥💙
Love it! The DMs are jamming, the band is booming with precision and power and the Settes are proving while they sre still the Thrill of a Billion eyes!! Usher will be proud. 💙💙💙
Beautiful performance Prancing J-settes! Sonic Boom is Jamming and sounding great as usual. The Drum Major performance was phenomenal. The drills were nice as well. 👍🏾 💯 🥁 🎼 🎵 🎶
An awesome and classy performance #JSU🎉🎶 The prancing #JSettes and the #SonicBoomOfTheSouth were on point🔥 Shout out to my Nephew🥰 Keep excelling👏🏼🔥🎶🎵🎉🎊🌹🎵👏🏼🎄🎁👍🏽
I had company today here watching UK play NC, so I cut the game off and stream this video. My company started complaining, and my husband said “ leave her alone that’s her band”. Before the video was over all I could hear was damn they are good. MY BAND! Love from your #1 Kentucky fan.🩵🩵🩵🩵
I went to this show and was highly impressed with JSU but could not figure out why they chose all Usher songs!! JD and Dallas Austin were both there . In hindsight, it all makes sense now. Congrats and great job!
To The..excuse me, "THEE Sonic Bomb of The South", The Usher themed show was energetic and entertaining. You set the tone right away with the fanfare, Usher and Blowin' combined. The first thought was, "Blowin' evolved into another form." I enjoyed it, please keep that version in the books, I love it. Your show's drilling was flawless and when you got to the concert number, the musicality, strong sound with balance throughout. Dance routine was live and intense, even after the work you put earlier. The biggest compliment I can extended is that you maintained the theme of the show in it's entirety and performed exceptionally.
First you have to learn the instrument. Then memorize sheet music for the song. Then the routine on the field which requires memorizing the field lines.. coordination with every one else. Hats off
