This year they came with a 2nd routine after football season.

JSU's style is the most imitated style among our craft. Back in the 1970s while everyone had a stiff, Big 10 or military style, the J5 were bouncing, spinning, thrusting, pointing and doing splits. They are the originators. 🔥

Interesting lineup .. but we all know Jackson gone take that

Jackson State University

Jackson State University #1 period!!

PVU drum majors are always clean, smooth, and entertaining! A good balance 💯

J5 is it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 there are no comparisons

I love FAMU’s drum majors, especially when they’re on the field. BCUs drum major style is also iconic and pretty nostalgic for me, so many South FL high school bands imitated both of these schools.

Wow; Jackson State is always the best! Luv da Boom!

Now everybody knows J5 is THEE best…..when ppl think of collegiate drum majors they think of J5

J5 it's not even close

J5 WITHOUT FEAR OF CONTRADICTION

Look, Jackson State's J5 leaves the rest in the dust.

I'm going to be unfair before completely watching, or reading the comments. I went to PVA&MU, but Jackson State has always impressed, and kept me anticipating their entrances. Their highstepping, energy, and overall consistency keeps the image of what I think the HBCU Drum Major is alive. Especially when you don't see those attributes in other DM's.

J5💙💙💙

The Get Ready routine changes slightly each year. They did about 3 this year. They had a new one for the Boombox battle of the bands and also had to change due to injuries causing members to be sidelined.

JSU-J5 period.

Yaaa Jackson got that 👌🏾 👏🏾💪🏾🔥

Sonic Boom all day, every day! JSU 💙

JSU all the way

My top 5 are: 1. Jackson State 2. Alabama State 3. Bethune Cookman 4. Prarie View 5. Old school Morris Brown

J5 do be getting it in

Nobody…… Nobody! Does it like J5!! JSU baby!! #THEEILOVE

The videos weren't even yoked. They all should have been drum major feature entrances versus band movement. Just my opinion. Love all HBCUs❤

When it comes to military core style traditional FAMU all day, When it comes to Show Style/ Dance No one tops JSU and BCU has mixture of both to a degree. But each DM fits there band, JSU DM wouldn't work with FAMU and Vice Versa, so it really depends on the band

J5 and 5Horseman and the most imitated DM styles for sure and i think that stands for something

J State Drum Majors are the best.💙

As a former DM both High school and university, I was introduced to FAMU and JSU. So I like a nice blend of both show style and Military at the right moments. However, BAMA st. Marching out, that deconstructed, Nutcracker style is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Flashy yet clean always win in my book.

THE J FIVE!

J5 auditioning for a Richard Simmons work out video... 😅😅😅😅

I think every bands drum majors fit there tradition and fits there band. If they were all was the same this sht would be boring. Southerns 1 drum major fits them. Ive seen famu at 10 when there band was larger and it fit there needs to keep tempo. I love all the different styles

J5 best in the land 💙💙💙

That change it every year

🐍🧡💚 famu jsu and bcu has the best drum major squad

J5 the male counter parts to the JSettes...lol, I love their dance routines but as far a them being Drum Majors in the traditional since of the word, they don't even come close, more like Dance Majors not Drum Majors...lol, but I will say this the the other schools that do similar styles of that high bouncey Tigger the Tiger jump get it from JSU, so props to them on that.

How many of those plooms do y'all go through? Well, when I marched, TBS and the band managers would bring one to two plastic trunks of them for every game.

Good footage, fella… but it’s nearly impossible to accurately compare them all.. But I’ll settle an argument - go and find footage from 77 or 78 when JSU played at Alcorn (old Henderson Stadium). There was no J5, or was a J2. There’s footage of Walter Bishop and Phillip Brewer (JSU’s DMs) and the two from Alcorn… THAT footage will settle the “who started juking” first… I was at those games.
