Jackson State’s Sonic Boom of the South and Southern University’s Human Jukebox, two of the country’s most prolific HBCU marching bands, have been named finalists for the HBCU Sports Band of the Year award.
The finalists were determined using a scoring system from our season-long weekly top 5 halftime performance lists and our annual top 20 cover songs playlist.
And then there were two! @SonicBoomOTS and @SU_HumanJukebox are the two finalists for the 2023 HBCU Sports Band of the Year award. The award and $2500 will go to the winner. Voting begins Sunday, Jan. 14, and will run through Sunday, Jan. 21. pic.twitter.com/R4MVxVxOyc
