For years, the Sonic Boom of the South marching band of Jackson State and the Human Jukebox marching band of Southern University have long been lauded for their musical prowess and creativity.

Whenever the two bands compete against each other, it’s considered an event, even when their respective football programs are not competing against each other.

Based on the body of work each of these two stellar bands have displayed during the course of the 2023 band season, as well as an internal scoring system used during our weekly halftime performance lists, the Sonic Boom of the South and the Human Jukebox are our two finalists for HBCU Sports Band of the Year with a chance to win $2,500.
