Mississippi’s capital came alive Saturday as the Jackson State University homecoming parade drew fans and alumni from near and far. Spectators cheered as the Sonic Boom of the South played lively tunes, the Prancing J-Setts showcased their dance moves and drum majors led the procession with high-stepping precision.
The parade brought music, movement and excitement to downtown Jackson, creating a lively mood for homecoming weekend. Among the guest performers were a marching band and dancers from Chandler Park Academy High School in Harper Wood, Michigan.
