Both MSU’s Famous Maroon Band and JSU’s Sonic Boom of the South will be performing at halftime at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field.

Nash Street will join the Maroon Band for a medley of their “grassroots country” songs. “This is a rare opportunity for our fans,” said Maroon Band director Elva Kaye Lance. “We are proud of Nash Street and know it will bring a lot to the halftime show and give our fans and the visiting Jackson State fans a great musical experience.” Sources: http://www.starkvilledailynews.
