Man, this had me in tears. This is what the HBCU culture is about. Taking care of each other. Congratulations to Marvin and JSU.
great story !! BOLD LIE he told about being #1😂 🌊🌊OCEAN is destroying the top 5 bands this year.... they never saw it coming. Smaller schools have leveled up, because the quality out of the high schools are better this decade. Better music, Better dancers + Better musicians, better DM, etc = this story is a remarkable confirmation of this. JSU alumni stepped up at the high school level. Im happy they showed these unsung heroes. TXSU🌊 is also an alumni success story; SU fans are going to remind everyone of this... all year😁🤣😂 .....you gotta ❤HBCU culture💯
@@cinnamonstar808 this but this is not about your band it's not about the Ocean.. it's about this young man life sit back and close your mouth and fall in line.
Congratulations
Not interested
@@kountryshhhhtv who me Mikey Mike McKenney out of line I don't think so
Man what a well deserved Tribute to Marvin and the sonic boom brought tears to my eyes, Mr. Strahan job well done sir. Go Tigers....Im soo proud of the JSU Tigers.
I couldn't stop crying!!!!!😢
I am crying right now and I am going to the game next month and all eyes will definitiv be.ön the drum major
From a Jaguar to you...this was outstanding to see.Hats off to Jackson State and GMA.💙🤍
Winfield Feider, I concur sir. Dapzzz💙💛
Thank you. We take care of each other.
This Grambling Grad agree! #OneHillman #SWACLove
@@MrLdevelle Instead of insulting and belittling a Jaguar fan who is providing JSU a compliment as part of the HBCU culture, you should just say thank you and move on. The Jaguar fan who provided the compliment had nothing to do with the shootings in Baton Rouge. SMH. If people who put so much HATE into this world would take that energy to empower others, this world would be a better place!
@@MrLdevelle I'm not going to get into a childish argument with you because that's what you want and you are not mature enough to understand human kindness. I said what I said. Hope you can find peace!
FAMU Rattler Alumni here.🧡💚 🐍 I'm mature enough to give credit where credit is due. The Sonic Boom IS a phenomenal band & I enjoy seeing them perform. They always sound so crisp & clear when they play. And shout out to Marvin for doing his thing as the first Latino drum major!
SWAC is a closed system. (in my opinion) it makes it hard to be the 1st latino if you arent born and raised into that system*. it is hard to win a desired spot in the band. Dancing Dolls of Jackson MS wouldnt be in business if it was not true. * 2:54 is key That is the major difference between swac vs meac. ...................MEAC you come with talent. S ..................SWAC you come with talent + its Culture
HBCU love all HBCU ..JSU/ SSU Alumni
Wonder how black students they turned down who were better than him
@@snthonyrice2277 everything in the Boom is earned never given.
@@xavier1769 don’t care yall love everyone but yourselfs
The way his mom looks at him with so much love in her eyes 😢❤ ! This a beautiful moment! Thanks JSU and GMA! We need more of this.
the young man is handling his business. Go JSU!
$100000? Mars can do better than that..
@@mr.ronaldlawrence1231 how much are you donating? Sheesh, so ungrateful!
@Lavish Living For Less I’m pretty sure his profits not 40 billion a year like Mars, If i’m a company that profits 40 Billion a year i’m either donating a cool 1 Million on National T.V or i’m not giving you nothing.
@@commonsense3921 you just camping out in JSU comments to bring negativity but it won't work. JSU is changing lives❤️
@Randomarm Nothing, You missed my point, Reread my comment 🙄 instead regurgitating a tired talking point, If I was a company that profits 40 BILLION a year I wouldn’t give $100,000 on National T.V i’ll slide that to ya behind close doors, If i’m giving you something on National T.V i’m giving you a cool 1 Million or NOTHING on National T.V.
I'm grinning from ear to ear and choking up at the same time! Proud alumni of THEE Jackson State University CO 1997
We love the Blue and the White!
Same here JSU c/o 2004 to thee I loveee 😂🫡💙💯🥰
Me too!!! Proud class of 2006!!!
This segment of the GMA JSU HOMECOMING featuring Drum Major Marvin of the Sonic Boom is phenomenal!! Keep being a great leader Marvin. 💙🐅🙏🏽
Way to go Marvin! It is an honor and a privilege to be the head drum major of the AMAZING JSU band! I'm an Ole Miss alumnus but I love the JSU band and I'm so happy to see their football program excelling too with Coach Sanders.
I'm a Grambling alumni, but Jackson State is one of the best HBCU Bands hands down. Congratulations Sonic Boom!!!!!!
This was really nice of GMA. Tried my best, but I couldn’t keep the tears from falling.
Congrats to our Brown and Black brothers!, y’all keep it up!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
JSU Sonic Boom is my hands down favorite HBCU marching band! The Jasettes are fire! Very nice tribute to Marvin and his historic recognition. Shout out to all the previous head JSU drum majors that paved the way for AND inspired Marvin! Marvin is proof that HBCUs don’t consider race in academics, sports or music. We just want to help students earn degrees and have a memorable college experience. I’m a proud 3rd generation HBCU graduate - Jarvis Christian University.
From a Grambling Alumni this makes me smile and happy for JSU and all HBCU’s.
Got old man over here in tears Lol PRICELESS POSITIVE ENERGY FORCES GOING FORWARD GOD'S BLESSING 🙏
We need more stories like this, bring up the mood of the country. Great job Boom!
They could flood the news and social media with stories like this if they really wanted to.....
@@dxwallace55 I’m aware, sad
This was a beautiful segment and tribute!! The Sonic Boom is, without a doubt, an amazing band program and one of the best in the world. Sending much love to the Boom and Jackson State Univ. from the Southern Univ. Jaguars!!💙💛 See y’all next week!
They'll have to once again go up against the Human Jukebox...often imitated...NEVER duplicated.
@ Sam Ross, your comment made with respect and class. I'm a former SU Band Member. My loyalty is to SU but it does not mean I need to hate on somebody else's program. Others here should take note and learn something from Sam Ross's classy comment.
@@OperationsSupervisor JSU alumni here although I enjoy watching other good bands too so I agree and much respect 💯💙
Marvin doesn’t give up. Be like Marvin.
I couldn't stop crying for that AWESOME drum major. I am so proud of JSU!!!!! 😢
As a Tennessse State Alum and first generation college graduate, I can say the struggle is real but the love, direction and mentoring you receive at an HBCU is unmatched. I tip my hat to you Marvin, continue to do your thing and make your family proud. Love that HBCU bands are getting some well deserved recognition.
The only way I know the JSU band is via KZhead videos....but THIS absolutely made my day! I was cheesing so hard like I know ya'll!! LOL This is incredible... CONGRATULATIONS to Marvin and the entire SONIC BOOM....well deserved!!
You should see the band in person some day! ❤
Same here. I've been following them since the Pandemic started. I've seen them once before in ATL. My goal is to make it to a game one day soon.
Same here! I fell in love with this and watching them on KZhead 🤗❤️
What's it like to be "The 1st"....Ask Marvin! 🙏🏿 He'll remember this moment f/the rest of his Life!
In tears so proud of you JSU and MISSISSIPPI 💙💙💙
GMA at Jackson State University that's a wowwwwww next level,Coach Prime is bringing that special energy
This is so wonderful! That the High Stepping, show stopping drum majors could earn a segment of their own on Good Morning America. Even though it featured Marvin he does represent the crisp movement of the band. Being out front his sharpness caught my attention the first time I watched them march and made me to actually watch the full performance. From there I always watch the Sonic Boom when I see them. Coach Prime has started a Movement! And for Mars to donate to help fill the Gap Emergency Fund for the students... Amazing! Hopefully, some corporations will spread some of the love to other HBCUs. Congratulations, City of Jackson!
Not from the South and watch little football these days..However, been aware of THE SONIC BOOM for years. They have always brought it 💯...You inspire Marvin.
Congratulations to this young man more importantly you can see that race nationality doesn't mean anything to the black community and that's what really makes me feel good. This is what this country should be about all of us coming together.
If only others felt the same about us
And therein lies the problem. HBCU''S are no longer HB
@@gayleaaj exactly shit sad
Too bad we're the only group that thinks this way.
@@meshab6049 they only ones ❤
I'm a former member of the FAMU Marching "100" and was glad to see Mr. Strahan pay tribute to a band student. All band students work very hard but unlike athletes, they don't get the credit in society that they deserve. A job well done for Marvin and the JSU Band!
Michael Strahan & GMA hot Mr crying from all the recognition and display of love and blessings for the JSU students 💜✨️ God Bless
It’s nice to see some positivity and goodness coming out of JXN.
I agree!
Interesting comment. Is this your first time seeing positivity & goodness coming out of JXN, by way of JSU?
Proud of Marvin don’t know him personally but I watched him march for skyline HS up until now go brother💪🏾👊🏾
Man this made me cry there's nothing like a supporting family that's behind you and believe in your dream congratulations Marvin this young man's future is very bright and it's well deserved I see him every week giving his all to this band I love JSU
So proud of you, Marvin!!! You’re doing great things. Take care!! God bless you.
I am happy now!! Because the Skyline band director mentioned the real 👑 Mr Isaiah Hicks who taught and coached Marvin everything he Knows!! He was a proud Dallas Carter high school head Drum major and JSU band member.
Salute to Marvin for choosing a HBCU
WOW!!! How amazing is that!!! Awesome job GMA!!! Marvin is such a bright light and a pillar; giving others a chance to see what consistency and dedication looks like! The Boom & Settes are hands down one of THEE BEST Fine Arts Program in the land. Keep doing the phenomenal work that you do best! 🎼🥁🎺🎷
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.
Awesome ❤! This story brought me to tears 😢. Continued success to Marvin and JSU ❤️💙! Thank you for this story, GMA!

So heartwarming. 😭😭 Go Marvin. Representing DFW well. 💙💙
I was wondering where he was from. What an amazing story, you could just feel the love from his mom and brother🥰
@@lizettemima from Skyline in Dallas. You can see him with them on old YT vids.
This was beautiful. Marvin making Mama proud.
Where is his father?
@@semha6348 None of your business?
Wow! This brought me tears. I am an alum of #ALCORN and I love the way GMA displayed this young man’s talent and also showcasing JSU. So proud to be a part of an HBCU school Congratulations, Marvin! FROM ONE HBCU TO ANOTHER HBCU,! Congratulations, JSU.💜💛💜💛
Beautiful parts of humanity I'm a hardcore recovering drug addict....and this made me cry...first time in 12 years thank you for showing me I'm still human.. happy tears
I'm proud of you, Marvin! I've watched your growth from marching at Skyline to now marching for Jackson State!!!!! Keep doing great things. Showing love, from a former Grambling State University "World Famed" Tiger Marching Band Alumn 🖤💛♥️
Great Story! Way to go Marvin and JSU!!!!!- From an Alcorn Alum!
One of the best human interest pieces I have seen in a while. The world needs more of this love! Hats off to GMA and Snickers/Mars!
Thank you Michael Strahan for showcasing HBCU'S. INFINITE ♥️ GRATITUDE
DAMN IT!!!! I'm over here with a little tear in my eye cause this was a beautiful segment (although with how much tuition is that $100k pretty much would help at most 2 students). Seeing how Sonic Boom and JSU have been operating, I want to do college all over again
Depends in state or out of state.
JSU and the community needs to say only four words, "thank you Coach Prime", because without him this would be just another homecoming and GMA would not be there.
Let me just say YES!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so inspiring!!!!!!
Yesssssss 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 UNITY and LOVE! JSU is impacting the world!!! I too….AM….SWAC (Alcorn State University Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite 1994-1998)!!! GO JSU and the Sonic BOOM 💥 💥💥💥 Yesssssss!!!!!
From an alumni of the Grambling State University Marching Band .....GO JSU!!!
Whew i am cutting too many onions.. Love single moms!!!!!
Beautiful that’s what HBCUs are all about we don’t discriminate ❤️🙏🏿
Amen!!
Yep selling your soul for acceptance 😊
Congratulations on your national recognition Marvin!!🎊🎉🎊 You are very talented and have a beautiful family.☺️
Just beautiful. if we can bring brown and black together in music. we can bring the world together with this much love.❤️💯🤗🙏🏽🎶🎶🎶✊🏽🔥 GOD bless them.
The young man should be very proud of himself. He is in a good situation!
I'm at work covering the front desk and Y'all, my eyes are sweating!
I have literally watched this over 10x's and I cry every single time!!!!!! Man, I am so very proud to be not only an HBCU Grad but a JSU Alumn!!!!! #theeilove Michael Strahan you are definitely a CLASS ACT! When you did the NayNay it gives me All My Life!
That young man is from my home town and went to my father's Alma mater skyline high school. Congrats been watching you for a while. Continue the legacy!
What a GREAT coverage for the drum major and JSU ... This actually brought tears ....GO GO GO JSU!!

We will see you Sonic Boom in November for the Mobile Gulf Coast Classic!! ALABAMA A&M UNIVERSITY-vs-JACKSON STATE!! GO BULLDOGS!! #HBCUSMATTER #AAMU #JSU
Wow I LoVe this!!! Awesome job JSU, and GMA!! #THEEILOVE
Just Awesome!!Like we have been saying for years and years. JSU Changes Lives For the Better Period!!! Go JSU!!
Awesome, I'm so glad for them all, well deserved
Im happy for him! They're also other drum majors that desrved shine throughout the years. Shot out to all past HBCU drum majors for paving the way for this brother! Big ups to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
EXACTLY, Abraham was legendary. If this kid was not Latino, no one would be batting an eye at a this black college. Don’t know why people can’t see that.
@@cinemeleon2808 and if it wasn't for Deion JSU wouldn't be getting all this buzz. Not taking anything away from them but it's the truth 💯 🤷🏽♂️
@@cinemeleon2808 Yes, Abraham was a phenomenal leader, but JSU wasn't the same during his tenure as now. Naturally there's going to be a lot of buzz around Marvin because of the position JSU is in now. Had it not been for the buzz, Marvin would be getting some shine but not like this. Just ask Justin over at ASU.
They love to kiss everyone else’s ass
He is no brother
True leadership is an inspiration to many. This young man is special. Any university would be honored to have him and there is no doubt that the recognition given to him by JSU would be bestowed on this young man in the same way. Many of us have watch him perform almost flawlessly. We all wish him the very best. He is an inspiration for many.
Sonic Boom of the South 💥💙
If doesn't make you cry...Check your pulse! Congratulations JSU!
They got me.......
Love it! Inspirational story. Salute to Brother Marvin Meda 💂🏼♀️🎺🥁🎷✌🏾
So wonderful! Tears! Tears! Tears!
Yay Mars. That was very touching and well deserved. Watching the behind the scenes videos with him and Shilo. You can see he's a really cool dude. I love to see moments like this🥲🥲🥲
#601 on the map! We’re super proud!
Luv da Boom. Keep up the good work Marvin!
Doing a HBCU Tour on my motorcycle (89 schools so far) love seeing this.🤲🏿🙌🏿
Congratulations to you Marvin 💗 and ur band 💗
I really want the hispanic community see how welcoming we are as a group of ppl....Hi Nauri Martinez!!!
Right.....but that might be the problem...we don't get the love back... especially from them......maybe one of them can come in here and refresh my memory!
@@inclair8610 say it again to those in the back. The latin community don't need to see anything. We the black race are the most welcoming and the most hated. Every one has proven this to us time and time again.
@@inclair8610 With all due respect , Relax ,please ! Thank you !
Facts bro Hbcu's will be majority Latino and white in 20 years
@@otisbillups4150 relax? Or what?
So you have a basically African American band but only this young man is praised ? Do we see how accepting and loving African Americans are of other people? This young man is the head drum major the black students are supporting him. Can we get that same love and support of the Latino/ Hispanic community?
Right. Didn't like that feature at all. It's politics. Good morning America pushing what they consider a story line of interest of what they think is important and it's not Black students. It's ok he gets 2 minutes of acknowledgement, bit now t a whole interview while all the students are completely ignored and not honored or the history of the band. No. The Latino community would not do the same thing.
I luv this the guy and mother
Am a southern fan but this brought me to 😢. Happy tears
As an old school Hbcu marching band member, this is a beautiful story. This man is real good DM. keep up the good work Mr. Marvin 😊❤❤
LOVE HBCU BAND LIFE!!!
God bless you Marvin and family!!! Go Sonic Boom!!!!
How wonderful for him! He is a very talented, and charismatic drum major! Boogie-on, Marvin! Bust those moves, as far as they will take you!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💖💋💋💋💐🫶🏻
You ain’t human if you didn’t shed a tear. I’m a man GMA! Y’all can’t be doing this to me. Lol
I agree💯
...& you are SLEEP if you did shed a tear. You're crying tears of joy over being robbed in plain sight?! SMH. SMH. SMH!
This is an awesome Story. Thanks for featuring JSU. JSU'83
Honor to Coach Prime Time who brings his legendary talent and also his very own offspring to JSU..representing H.B.C.U.
This brings my heart joy to see Marvin be recognized for what he does at JSU. He is an inspiration. Make it do what it do MARVIN!!!! GO SONIC BOOM!!! 🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥
That’s so awesome …the love they are showing for JSU and the Swac.
