Nothing really signifies the meat of the HBCU band circuit than the annual clash between the Jackson State&#8217;s Sonic Boom of the South, and the Human Jukebox of Southern University. This rivalry to our craft is equal to Ohio State\/Michigan in football, or Duke\/North Carolina in basketball. Whether it&#8217;s in Jackson or Baton Rouge, you&#8217;re guaranteed to see one of the great spectacles of the HBCU game day and fan experience.
