The head drummer major is a soldier,great leader!

Who up watching old JSU marching in vids? Me 👋🏽💙💙💙🤍🤍!!

I'm happy that the communication error happened because I'm super impressed with how they handled the situation.

Shoutout to the head DM making calls on the fly. That's true experience and leadership. J5 #strong5

12:39 this was the best part for me bc not only did the drum majors start off strong, they finished strong too! Look at the head drum major. That’s the bar for any and every drum major if u ask me💯

Abraham's knees be touching his chest. That's how you know he marching hard. The drum MAJORS always in unison!!! Straight up in-sync all the time!! You gotta love KAYLA!!! So proud of her because her hard work is definitely paying off. SHE was a trooper last year when it was raining. Makaylah looked so bright and gorgeous while she strut walking. It almost looked like she wasn't even gettin rained on.

The boom look good marching.if it's hot cold raining or snowing they are always on point

SHOUT OUT TO THE HEAD DRUM MAJOR FOR BEING A REAL LEADER!!!!! He didnt get flustered and if he did he didnt let it bother him. I was A Drum Major and A Drum Section Leader at one point so I knew exactly what happened when it did. However, they handled it like Champs. The Way He Got them together and called everything on The Fly was A Great example of his leadership and also how they respected him enough to do exactly what he said right in stride too. Great Job Showing Love From Detroit!!!!!

This shit makes me wanna get back in the band but at age 44 those legs cramps will kill me getting back use to marching n dancing

You know you are great band when people stand in the rain just to see you.... who do we want, the Sonic Boom

THAT'S WHY HE'S HEAD DRUM MAJOR...

For anyone curious. The reason for the miscommunication is because of the tunnel bouncing the sound off of the walls. Therefore making it no way the drumline could hear the whistle

"It don't rain on the Boom!"

i dont think he had messed up...it was just a miss communication...but the head drum major “on the fly” count call out was pretty dope...it just shows how much responsibility he has✊🏾

that last dancer the Pretty brown girl.. she's gorgeous.

I gotta chill. I’ve been on a Sonic Boom video binge watch for like 2 hours now lmao these guys are fuckin ridiculous bruh!!! Straight 🔥🔥🔥

The drumline did not hear the whistle so the count off got delayed. The head DM did not panic at all. He led like the leader he is. Dude super cool. Damn!

This band is TIGHT!!! I wish I had the money to help keep their tradition going for the future generations. God make a way please.

I've been following SWAC football/bands since I've been able to walk and talk. Mr. Abraham reminds me of the old school JSU drum majors from the early 80's. Serious, focused and laser sharp.

I just love JSU marching band. Not to mention J5, man! They are amazing and extremely handsome! Need to bring that up here to the DMV area. Oh and the dancers 😍 I can't get enough of the dancers. They are So talented and drop dead gorgeous💜. The JSU band is just amazing!! They have become one of my favorites. #SonicBoomoftheSouth

Sonic boom , you don’t get this type of dedication anywhere else except HBCU. This is how you set the bar . Sonic boom

I love watching Abraham and his squad.

S/O the J Settes for thugging it out. I know they was like oh dis some bull!! 😂

I can watch these 5 drum majors all day long. They are the best!!

Unfortunately, the SHC game was a total wash out ⛈⚡️💦☔️☔️. Thousands...I Mean THOUSANDS of people (me included) were prohibited from entering the stands because of the rain....and btw it 11:57pm and it's still raining. Although we couldn't see JSU Sonic Boom at this point but we could certainly hear you all booming💥 through the walls...You guys sounded GREAT!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙 JSU SONIC BOOM 💥

These drum majors must go to some kind of training camp, cause for years they always on point!!!

JSU had a rough day. Marched that hot parade in full windsuits and then got rained on in their uniforms

Y’all betta march in that rain, baaaaby!!

Still The Best ❗❗#THEEBOOM

Through rain, snow, sleet or hail, Sonic Boom of the South never fails.

THE BOOM DID NOT LET US DOWN!S/O to the drum major making those "on the fly" calls!TRUE LEADERSHIP! #foreverboom

It rain in the army not on the army! Big shot out boom that's dedication. Everyone was a winner this classic .

6:00 Felt bad for Kayla. It's like a repeat of last year when she had to push through during the rain with hair products and make-up dripping into her eye. They all look great tho!!!!!

I love the Jsettes!

I've been here for it since I stumbled upon your videos a couple of weeks ago! 🤗 Y'all did that in the rain!! 😙

Thank You again KillaKev for this excellent footage....I love when people have complaints and you hit them with the accepting donations line....lollllllll

Going hard in the rain like that makes you go extra hard in the sunshine.

They really show what they are made of. Anybody can do it when the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day. THIS is the REAL test!

Honestly, I would have never known there was a delay or anything else. Head DM leads the way, hell he does an excellent job of leading.

Love the sound! Love the moves! Love the energy!! Sonic Boom is great! Would love to see them in person!! I love marching bands!!

Watching old videos Bc I miss Abraham 😖 .

I have to say. That lead dm understood communication and on the spot improvised. Great job sir. No panic also great job jsettes. Rain and all.

GREAT Viewing; EXCELLENT Work! Da Boooom!

Head drum major 💪🏾💪🏾

If you forward to 1:30 you'll see Coach D and her son Kobe running pass as they march inside the gates

JSU the best band of all of swac fr fr 💪🏽

Mad respect!

It was a total wash out!😢 both bands were great!

My daughter is a Percussionist🥁🥁🥁 in her school band #blackgirlsrock but it is "SOMETHING" about that Brass section🎺🎺🎺🎺. The sound 🔈🔉🔊is just 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. The sound coming out of that tunnel is "Mind Blowing" 🤪🤪🤪,... Crisp, Clear, Percise OMG,.. "Amazing"! On another good note, I 👏👏👏 These AMAZING Ladies & Gentleman for "Pushing Through" the elements of Mother Nature. Rain/Sleet/Cold being a Band Mom I see these babies as strong Souls doing what they LOVE #justdoit #brassbaby #crisp&clear

Showing out even in the Rain

Lovin' them "WAR FACES" keep muggin' on them! 💯💪

Drum Majors are LIT . SHOUT OUT to the J-Settes gettin it done in the rain.

Officer: You Showtime? Me: no officer, he’s Killa Kev

Okk SBOTS Come Thru 🔥🔥

Love when the Settes perform in boots.

On behalf of the boom. Thanks killa kev

I would’ve dont the same as Abe 💯 leadership runs deep💯

Damn they’re good..

I was n da stands when Jackson was in there. My seat was next to the band and we got wet watching them enter the liberty bowl. Then once they got in the stands we were told to go n da tunnels due to lightning near by... then da rain would not let up and I got soaked and everyone was leaving around 8pm..I stayed until 9pm n then left...now they saying we can get our money bacc or donate it to the groups...its ur choice...

Someone said "Let's go Kayla you better March girl you better March you better do the damn thang lol😂😂😂😂😂

As I used to say in the military, "Its just some water".

If it ain't raining we ain't training!!!

Hope none of them do not be sick from being wet for that long time

My Peoples.💙

J5, brings the show. Then all the beautiful ladies bringing their talent. Then holding it all together, the power of JSU band.

Did y'all see Makayla off dancing dolls

I like them. They are game. It is very difficult to perform when it is raining cats and dogs. Go Band!

I can’t wait until I can see JSU The Sonic Boom in person instead of YouTubbing. I watch them several (no numerous😂) times everyday. In my mind I’m a Sonic Boom Alumni. #BucketList2019

Kayla kinda looked like Morgan when she came bouncing out of the tunnel. Kristen always has the biggest smile on her face.

That head drum tho😍😍😍😍😍

They missed the roll off ,Abraham was Hot!! But he knows how to think on the fly, keep it AD GO Sonic Boom

abraham looked pissed n the beginning

I'm going to take the high road no need for negativity..my opinion!!

That’s commitment

UPDATE: THE GAME IS TO BE RESCHEDULED FOR A LATER DATE!!!

What could probably be said of Jackson State alone, is that based on DM criterion as well as this band's organization and functionality, they could definitely travel without the supervision of paid staff (only security would be needed)... Therefore in my opinion, the best overall (Marching Band) in America.

Lmao Abe looked so irritated

Cheer up fam! It may not be a total loss! From what we're hearing their to reschedule the game on Sunday September 9th! Look for Fox 13 News whbq TV here in Memphis and read the update or put in your Facebook search bar Southern Heritage Classic 2018 and it'll pull up the story about about the reschedule

Would like more cameras employed. If all we see are close ups, we don't get the full impact of the size of the band. There are plenty of places in the stadium to position a camera to give a sense of the band's scale. Or use a mobile stand or scaffolding could be used.

Killa kev How are you able to do all of these games? Your videos are excellent.

Get down JSU🔥y'all stay getting funky🙌😍

WOW! FROM THE DANCING DOLLS MAKAYLAH IS SECOND FROM THE LAST.

I wonder what's the issue with showtime web

Rip woodwinds in the rain :(

💙💙💙💙💣

I went ☺️

Can someone tell me why some of the band has a mean mug while others don't?

3:20 RIP curls

Head DM hot af man

These stank faces are PRICELESS!

For some odd reason 2:51 is my favorite part

Lawd Abe was soooo mad 😠 made him cuss at dm on the right... he’s just a perfectionist ABE

"BE CAREFUL ON THE GRASSSS"

TO DA SKY!!!😂😂

2018 at the mean muggin still looks ridiculous.

Settes look good all wet

where the zero

The fact that I seen myself in the video lol but it started raining like a mf

Was that Ms D and her son in the beginning?
