Mississippi Today Editor-at-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down with Jackson State University’s Director of Bands, Dr. Roderick Little, to talk about The Sonic Boom of the South’s incredible Super Bowl LVIII halftime performance with Usher.
Little tells the incredible story of how a text led to the Sonic Boom of the South landing on the biggest stage in the world. It’s one of my favorite interviews. Little also wanted to thank Jackson State President Dr. Marcus L. Thompson for his support.
