Jackson State University's Sonic Boom of the South (2024-2025)

[TBone2]

mrThrowback Friday!
Harold Haughton, the band director of The Sonic Boom of the South in 1971, discusses the formation of the Prancing J-Settes, their try-out requirements, and the contributions of former directors Shirley Middleton Blakely and Narah Dean Oatis.



#SheSaySheSaySports sits down with members of each era of the J-Sette Alumni. We discussed how the J-Settes influenced the Dallas Cowboys to create the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, the infamous "J-Sette Walk" and how being a part of a sisterhood of dancers, changed their lives.



Prancing J-Settes celebrate 50 years in 2021

Mr. Harold Haughton thanks for everthing you did for the program and more.
you are the real Maestro.

The Sonic Boom was a trailblazer in many ways for the SWAC bands. It is time for them to reclaim their crown! Dr. Little is bringing back precision to the drills, if we can only get the J-cettes to get back to the precision that Narah Dean Otis and Betty demanded or you would not get on the field! 4 girls was fine with her! Lol! Love The Boom!!!!

The Settes are there! The variety and difficulty of the routines they put on the field are unmatched by any other dance team. We have no idea the conditioning these young ladies must have. Hats off!!!
