JSU Bands

In the “Severance” Season 2 finale, JSU™ alumnus Tramell Tillman, ’08, one of the stars of the hit Apple TV+ series, leads a fictional marching band in one of the show’s most unforgettable scenes.

“I graduated from Jackson State University, and their band is the Sonic Boom of The South, the best marching band in the entire world,” Tillman told TV Guide.

“This is an opportunity to highlight my culture, to highlight the significance of HBCUs — the marching bands, the showmanship, the pageantry, the discipline, the excellence, the Black joy.”

From the mace to the uniforms, it’s a clear tribute to “Da Boom” and another reminder why JSU is THEE Standard™. #THEEStandard
