"Sonic Boom"

Welcome to the Jackson State Sound Page. The "Sonic Boom" is one of the best known college or university marching bands in the country. Appropriately dubbed a show band, the group was given its name by band students in 1971. In 1974, the band's theme, "Get Ready," an old Motown favorite was selected and three years after that, the "Tiger Run-On" was perfected. The "Tiger Run- On" is a fast, eye-catching shuffle that blends an adagio step with an up-tempo shuffle, then back to adagio -- a "Sonic Boom" trademark that brings fans to their feet during halftime performances.
