I'm not certain but I've seen photo's in yearbooks from back in the day where the band would take a photo on the steps of the State Capital bldg. So it was probably a photo shoot for the yearbook.

Pretty much marketing the university to state leaders, in support of the festival. Staying in the mix of the happens in the capital.

Aren't these guys supposed to turn they're backs or something? And they showed up at a book reading festival. I see they support Ole Miss too.
The video just gave me chills - the Sonic Boom represents our state well. We should all listen to this each morning to get in a good mood.
I agree completely and it also gives me chills when I hear them play those songs with the Boom's unique arrangements! The designation as "Mississippi's Orchestra" would fit this group quite nicely!

I agree. I was so pissed at that show. Jsu might just need to clean house from football Coach to band dir..... What they don't understand is by being lazy with things like field show and etc takes away from the excitement for the next year. It's not like HBCU have hundreds of highly anticipated games so let's not neglect what's holding interest as of now.

The boom didn't get to do the dance routine because the clock started running on them while the team was getting off the field. They only had 8 min and had to cut something. I don't know if you guys know anything about bands or not but the drilling was excellent. Neither halftime was great in my opinion!
No their show was well over 9 minutes. Check the video.
The Boom had to leave the field. HAYMER ONLY GAVE THEM 8 MIN!!!!!
You sound retarded... I agree with football coach, but not band director..... Boom has a waaaay better band staff.

That's why I asked if they were familiar with bands or have marched in a band. Some people type without knowledge lol!

You can call it restarted or whatever you want but again seem likes Jsu needs to clean house with the coach and directors. It's my opinion just as you stated yours.

Haymer doesn't make that call. Per the SWAC office you are only alotted a certain amount of time for your show.

That SU drill pattern was cold. Step one then a transition to a step two in the center of the band and then back to a step one to stack back to the line. Very difficult drill to execute. A clear difference as SU's drill had drive and energy, JSU's tempo was much too slow to keep my interest.
