Actually, I thought the HDM was a lil over the top last year but there is absolutely no way you go from being HDM to not even making the cut a few months later. There is more to the story.... and maybe, just maybe Little only chose 4 to save his spot once he gets his act together.

We should have a J5... nothing more, nothing less.

I agree he did to much, but last year I thought their entrances were waay too much.
 
The Prancing J-Settes will be celebrating 45 years at JSU's Homecoming this year!

All of that twisting and wiggling. Arms flailing.

smh

I'm sorry, I have to agree with him on this. I'm old school. I still like 'em but it's because too much of a dance troupe more so than drum majors. Too much movement............kinda like Usher. LOL
 
That's why folks watch them and focus on them. The BOOM is a show band, not a typical White oriented-type band.
JSU's drum majors are far better and more exciting to watch than one back bend.

I agree, more exciting to watch. I'm fine with them..........but I'm a little old school.........sometimes it can be a tad much for me. I could use less pelvic thrusts/grinding. But still they're exciting.

Mr. Sanford has taken a lot of hits from JSU supporters. But we should give credit when due. He has successfully secured game day instruments for the entire band. From piccolos to tubas. Students will use their own during practices. I'd heard about this Bing in the works but honestly thought with the budget cuts it was put off. This will help with intonation. Big ups to him.

Does anybody have knowledge of big or small the boom will be this year. Just curious
They have a small freshman class because there's almost 300 upperclassmen returning this mrn. They were really young last year and they will be at or slightly larger than last year. Will bottom out around 330-340!
