I loved how the dancers merged in with the drum majors. This must be a huge high school with a marching band so large and great musicians.

I’m obsessed with watching the head drum major! He’s so intense!! I’ve watched 10 or so videos! Amazing band!!!

These kids are so disciplined for a highschool marching band. They're extremely talented. When I first saw it I thought it was college level.

Outstanding all around! The parents must be so proud. Speaking of parents we need to thank them. They purchased the instruments, dropped off and picked their children from practice, paid for trips, etc. Kudos parents!

All four of the drum majors are great. The hard work pays off.

ALL 4 D MAJORS are amazing. I see alllllll of them. The band fantastic. Great Director TOO!!!

One band, one sound. No individuals.

I know why Vanilla Funk is the Lead. His movements have the most energy, most precise EVERY TIME. The kid is great and the band is the epitome of EXCELLENCE.

White guy here. I was in one of the best Highschool Marching Bands in the country at the time in the 80's from NE Pennsylvania. I gotta admit, when I first came across this band I was intrigued by a white kid leading a black band. Black folks have such a unique and different style than white folks when it comes to marching bands. Both styles are to me excellent in their own way. I've seen about 20 of JDHS vids and honestly all I see now is a great bunch of kids performing at a high level. Awesome kids working hard, excellent stuff. Rock on!

My boy Justin is killing parade season!!

Justin has already made history. Love to watch him perform.

My feet are hurting and swollen just from watching. Incredible job from the entire band. Always a joy to watch your performances.

I’m from Montgomery...most of these kids come from a very bad part of town...look at the talent they have. This takes practice...god bless them! I’m so proud to be a southern woc🥰😘😍

I could watch this band all day long! Especially those awesome DM's. Justin has set the bar high!

The co-ordination of all of them is really impressive.

They need misters to march along and spray them when it's hot, it doesn't take long to crash from heat exhaustion. Coming from a past marching band member!

I am sure that Jackson State University is honored to have this school that isn't from Mississippi to adopt their Drum Major routines and marching patterns. I salute everyone in this band and hats off to you.

Wow, I see JDHS band have alot of jealous haters thumbs downing their videos. And it's all simply because JDHS Head DM giving the band alot of attention. That's truly sad to see! I mean the young man can't help who he is. He's a teen who's simply enjoying his High School band years. People really should be ashamed of themselves. I'm a Human JukeBox alum, so we're use to all the hate and jealousy. It comes with the territory of being the absolute best at what you do!

Justin and that young man on them drums moving in sync with HIS DRUM!!!!!!! Geez they are marching and moving with a look on their FACE LIKE!!!! So freaking powerful. They all were amazing and the leading young lady behind the Band leaders. She too just had an ease and strength. They are GOOD!!!!!

Justin is such a pro! Every step he takes is at his best! I wish him all the best in college! Great leader!

I was TODAY years old when I realized this was a HIGH SCHOOL BAND! Definitely thought this was a college band. Then to find out they're in the GUMP!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I hope I can pull up on Vanilla funk this fall for the Turkey day Classic! Great job majors!

I commend each and every one of these kids that marched in these parades!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING!!

I’m a native from New Orleans.. You all did a great job.. You all made New Orleans and Mardi Gras look like so much fun.

I am SO proud of these young men and women! They represented our state of Alabama with pride, dedication and talent. The drum majors are amazing! 🧑🏻‍🦳👏🏻❤️

Justin be killin it y’all see all them eyes lookin like WTH, I love this band

Okayyyyyyyyy 6:07 Damn they were too smooth with this transition at 13:42 yassssssss c'mon on with it to the young ladies and the DMs. Come on now 16:41 🥁🥁😌

This is Highschool???? Holycrap! They’re all wonderful performers!! Outstanding!

I sure don’t remember our drill team dancing like that!! What a terrific sound that band makes. It’s obvious that their leadership is excellent and the standards are high...

I have to admit I couldn't stop smiling the whole video. This was a show of excellence. I wonder where the leader will end up going when college is left. I think he will end up an Kappa.

I love watching these guys. You can tell how hard they work and all of their blood, sweat, and tears that go into each performance and giving it their all. I love their determination. I just love all of it

Good looking band. They did a good job

These kids are so talented!!! 🔥🔥🔥 The drum majors, the dancers, every single member makes this unit so strong! I hope they continue their passions in college; definitely excited to see how they grow from here!

THIS BAND RIGHT HERE IS PHENOMENAL // GOD BLESS JD//HOPE JUSTIN WINS AT HIS PROM 😁😁

I’m only here for vanilla funk, he’s hotter than a crawfish boil.

The drum majors are awesome, especially the lead!

Now that transition with the dancers and DMs 😍 I hope every one of these kids lend their skills to any university band because the talent is already there

I am so happy they were able to do this before the COVID-19 regulations took affect. It inspires so much hope and happiness. Thank you Killa Kev for these productions. American culture can be very beautiful, especially youth culture. There is so much history and peoples' determination to perpetuate all that lived life and cultural traditions have to offer. Music is one of the greatest gifts of humanity. We (here I am taking credit with no marching band experience) are something else. The young people in all of your videos are simply beautiful, but this band, all of the musicians are magnificent.

Ive never seen a band like this. Pretty wicked. I'm loving the leader, he is very good.

Lord, these youngins are making me long for my youth when I had that youthful stamina! On the other hand, I never marched in a parade while dancing, playing an instrument, or twirling a flag, so even back then I probably didn't have the same stamina!

Love me some Vanilla Funk!!!

I’m watching this in 2022. They are as good as a College Band. The production, the sound, the Drum Majors, the Dancers, etc. OUTSTANDING!!! 😃😃👏🏽👏🏽

Congratulations, Jefferson Davis marching band! I just watched you on America’s Got Talent!! So excited for you all! Raise your heads high. You all should be proud!

He and his HS have taken Drum Majors to a higher level. I was used of the "Nut Cracker" uniform look. This is more relaxed and they can dance even better! Wow!!!! Love this School and all that are participating.

I like that combination they did!! Good job!! The two should do more routines like that. It was United, good timing and it looked good overall.

These kids puts on a show everywhere they perform!!

Amazing marching band..I got teary eye at 13:40 when the two groups came together. It was amazingly beautiful with the music. .the musicians are awesome

Just can't get enough of watching this fantastic band. Wish them all well and 100% success in their future 👍🏿😄

So cute how proud they are of him. 💝 they should be! the front men rocked it out. First time I've seen them as the stars in place of the ladies. Killed it as usual. Love watching these videos

My dude Justin kills it...But I for SURE gotta raise my glass to these amazing high schoolers, YOU GUYS ARE ALL PHENOMENAL 😍💝😍💝😍💝

Their performances make me so happy! How hard they must work to perfect their talents and keep leveling up. Fantastic

If you've never been to a krew parade (krew is not the same as mardi gras/gasparilla, 25-30 mins into this video, these HS KIDS are into like hour 2-4, it all becomes a blur, they are maybe used to a walk in 5-10 mins, a half time show 15-20, and a walk out (they are from the south so if the team lost 5-15, won like legit could be 2 hrs). The fact that the drum majors kept up this energy and literally sent it to the dance crew who passed it along to the band is phenomenal.

I watch Justin yesterday Thanksgiving Day Macy's Parade 11/23/2023 with Alabama College . He is serious about his work. I Love his energy . I feel someone or something has clipped his wings. To Justin, I say do not let anyone or anything steal your Joy, on shine, light. PRAYING FOR YOU. I love the error of Jefferson Davis high school ,the whole Band was Awesome . I watch all I could fine.

That was really smooth when the ladies came and lined up with the men and they danced together. That was some smooth shit!!!

"""The young men are such strong, dynamic movers """ladies get to work...!!!!!""; Great job everyone....✨👍👏👏👏👏😄✨✨

U guys are awesome. So glad u got to go to the Mardi Gras. Do any of the drum majors complain of knee problems as much as they literally pound the pavement. It caused me to have both knees totally replaced . But the experience is worth it. I watched Justin’s interview and I agree it is hard work. Many of my band mates said military basic training was way easier. Good luck to all the Seniors pursuing a musical career in college!

If you can't watch the whole video, do yourself a favor and jump to about 36:20. What a way to finish.

KZfaq sent me here and I'm not mad. Amazing band and DMs!! Get it boys!

This band is absolutely amazing! one of the best high school bands I have seen. Everyone has so much energy ❤️

These kids, the band, the drum majors - HIGH SCHOOL? - Wow! They are awesome - and it looked humid, I feel for them, I was tired at the end of the video for them.

I so love these young people! This is the lord wants. For all races of people to come together! I wish all of them many, many blessings!

All them boys are killing it!!!❤️

Drum majors and the dancing girls are so good. Love to watch them all dance. Love the routine when the girls join the majors in a line.

I’m obsessed with the front drum major also and have watched this over and over!! Justin is awesome!! Amazing band!!! Love 💕 this band!! So entertaining!! Love watching Justin he is so intense 💖

All of this fantastic performance went way beyond my every expectation. So talented is this High School group! I can’t stop smiling!

These guys never make a mistake! It is awesome to see a high school band that is just excelling like this. Props to all of them for all of the hard work.

Thanks for suggesting this youtube. Here I am like 10 videos later- all of Jeff Davis Marching band and wondering how I got so obsessed so fast. Why????? I"m a grown woman with a family and a professional career. How did this happen?

Watching the marching band brings back so many memories of college. Good work kids! Really proud of all of you.

It’s a shame to see adults criticize the head DM as if it’s his fault he’s super coordinated and talented! That boy was given a fair opportunity and had to fight harder! They are all awesome and I hope he keeps going!

Love watching you guys! As always, Justin you are killing it and it craps me up watching all these people go crazy for you! You FOUR guys up front rock, and I have to say, these are my favorite outfits on these beautiful young ladies. And I love how the whole band keeps it funky. Clear back to the end of the line. You guys are doing great! Keep up the HARD work! You are ALL terrific! Don't know what all these people are gonna do when you all graduate!

This kids resilience is so encouraging. As a biracial girl growing up in the south...It was hard. Too black to be Asian. Too Asian to be black....you either get tough skin or you are eaten alive. I honestly think the respect his band has for him(which is well known) is because he is super talented and they know how it feels to be discriminated against. I hope they all go far🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank You🙏🎵🥁...I love this band so much!!...I can watch them all day long, over and over...They are so fun, so talented, so inspiring and a joy to watch...And Justin and his drum major friends, friggin awesome🤗!!!..thank you!!..keep being amazing...stay grounded....so much love from here in Ohio🙏💜🧡💛💚💙❤🎵🥁👬....

I'm so impressed with everyone in this band! I keep forgetting they're only in high school! They're very talented 💯

Now that I discovered this Justin kid I can't get enough of watching these drum majors!!!

Another great video- love all the variety the drum majors and dancers show! Well done Vols!

Look, everyone is getting along, there is no division or inequality, just teamwork and focusing on a good effort..... no one is complaining about the name of the school or causing trouble.......great job everyone!

What a joy this brings to my soul at such a time of need!!!! What a message these outstanding young talented souls are bringing to all us. Such love...respect...peace and unity...something we all can learn from!!!!! In addition to that bold message received loud and clear...fantastic job kids!!!! The sky is your limit!!!! May GOD protect each and every one of you!!!! Thank you for your hard work and the desire to entertain a world growing uncertain by the day...GOD BLESS!!! 💙💜💚🤍💛🖤🧡

For a high school this is amazing, wish you could come to London and do a parade. Loving your work guys

Justin (Vanilla Funk) is graduating this year.

That dance would make BBD and Boyz II Men proud. Y'all were going in every time. Way to make your parents proud and those of us who lived in the era enjoy ourselves. 😁 Your entire band is 🔥🔥🔥.

These kids worked so hard, they are amazing and it makes me miss Mardi Gras even more 💜💚💛⚜

Those youngsters really bring their community together. Bloody marvellous!!!

Been in bands my whole life and so have my children and This band is BEYOND great!!!!🥰

These kids show such pride.

This just appeared in my suggestions, and I'm so glad it did! Fantastic work Kev, promoting a great sounding and even better performing group. These DM's are all in! and the Dad in the blue t-shirt...I'd like to see his footage too! None of this happens without the parents support. Tell them thank you and the Director of Bands too. also Thank you to you! Love seeing a great Band! Keep up the good work.

This is a phenomenal Band and I hope every band gets to follow their dreams. Love yall

I absolutely love watching this band!

I’ve been watching videos from this band for months now and I wasn’t ready for this 13:43 😱

Love it. So proud of these kids may God continue to bless them all

So cool to watch. Clearly he's a leader and he dances very, very well🙌🏻. He dances real smooth. Go Justin! 😍 Good job young man! Go JDHS! I love the whole routine. Wishing all the 2020 graduates much success! Only the Lord knows what's in our future.

We need a movie about Justin and this entire amazing band!

Man, I can’t get enuff of this band!!! Reminds me of my marching days back in the early 90’s with Colonel White High School in Dayton, Ohio. Loved marching band....heck, was the only reason I went to school everyday
