New edition of Smithsonian includes an insightful article on Jackson State's Sonic Boom of the South. Reads as though it's the match - and perhaps then some - of any university's marching band.

I watched some of their videos.

The band has style.

What's nice is that,unlike a lot of "show' bands,the current edition of Grambling comes to mind,they drill and play,not just "pose".

Crisp drill and dance moves.

My only knock,and again its with all the "show" bands, is the emphasis on the Drum Majors and dancers.

Would be interesting to see them and the 110 in a "Battle of the Bands".

That's why we need to increase the capacity of Peden.

But only one 1 side.
Band competitions only sell tickets to one side of a stadium.

The lead band in the Rose Parade yesterday was MLK Jr. High School from Ga.

That band puts most college bands to shame.
