Whatever became of Vanilla Funk after he graduated from high school?
He's currently the drum major at Alabama State University.
@@ShowtimeWeb I was hoping he'd continue where he left off in College. I'm glad he's doing his thing and continuing the funk fest.
I said the same thing, he is bad.
A racial draft was held and he became a black person along with Eminem.
YO! I just re-watched that Dave Chappel skit so I'm dead over here 🤣@@PrivateSmiles
Not just the stamina. How in the world can a person memorize all of those moves? I could barely do the Electric Slide
I used to be in a marching band it takes practice practice practice!!!
Same!!! 😂
It becomes muscle memory. I practiced three days a week in the summer for the marching band. Then again, our marching style was different. Very interesting this band is, very large as well. Glad to see the numbers when some music programs are suffering. Wonderful job! These guys deserve all the recognition in the world.
😂😅
Hours and hours of practice.u gotta love it to devout that much time 2 it
Not only are the drum majors entertaining but the band sounds really good as well. Nice stuff going on here enjoyed every minute
THE BAND HAS BEEN REBOOTED AND UPGRADED 💯 KUDOS TO THE INSTRUCTORS/TEACHERS/MEMBERS! SOUNDING GREAT 👍👌💃👑✊🙌✊🤴👸💖💯💯💯💯
Somebody said this is a HIG SCHOOL BAND! Can you believe that!? They are cold.
Ik He done heard “get it white boy” like a million times🤣🤷🏾♀️
I had the same thing happen to be but it was get it brown girl and look they got one brown girl because everyone else was white and I was dancing sort of better than most of them 😂
Right! I was like I know he gets annoyed/tired of hearing that 😅😭 but he’s doing an awesome job
🤣🤣think its a natural reaction
Right 😂😭
@@VictoriasUniverse k
Whomever that is working with this high school band👏👏👏👏
India Modest these are highschoolers ???
@@alangreen7681 yuppp
What I was thinking. I’m a musician and Fourth of July parades were hard for most high school kids to play through. U get tired so easy, it’s not not like regular marching band movements
It's a college team
@@victoriasalinas5636 It's a high school. Jefferson Davis High.
Those drum majors are in great condition to have the stamina to stay on their toes marching for hours. I dare say they rival basketball ball players with their stamina!!!
I was thinking that same thing. Awesome young men and women
I thought the same thing. They are outstanding athletes to be able to perform at this level and with such intensity for SO LONG.
Marching band members in general work a shit ton of hours every day just for a 10 minute halftime performance.
Wanna talk about dedication? Think about it.
@@ghyprh Band members NEVER get the credit we deserve. I had a shirt once that said: "Tonight's football game will be played before and after the main event of the halftime." Or something similar. I got it at a band event.
Alyce Avary Yooo, I got that exact shirt
The exhaustion after a march like this is unspeakable, but you’re always proud to put on a show with your band.
I'll bet that they sleep like baby's every night from being so exhausted. 😂😂
I've never marched in a band like this, but I've done some long parades, and I can confirm the exhaustion after its done
I played trombone in a marching band. Marching in full uniform is always exhausting, playing accurately just makes it harder lmao
Coldest white boy I seen by far!!! Keep up the great work J!!!!!!
B Frank504 his nickname is actually “Vanilla Funk” at the school.
@@haydenduffey6969 he said J because his name is Justin
Emmanuel Bennett I know. Was just puttin it out there
Ummm great job all these young folk.. why you got to point out race?
patricia lesueur notoriously a black school.
These
kids including dance line, DM’s and band are playing at college level....in my opinion
YES.
Terreva Arrington Yeah color guard needs a little work tho
@@DancingDaisies08 opinions aren't wrong or right. They just are. You just disagree.
That’s not college level. Unless by college level you mean community college level, which is still basically hs level. Sorry. It’s not a bad sound for a hs but let’s not over hype it.
Lol yeah right
So shouts out to those beautiful black girls doing their thang since no one else gone say it. And shouts out to them black boys doing their thang too.
*Right!!!!!* 💙
Them girls beautiful for real! 💯
@Dias06 Because this is America, where racism is rampant and Black pride is important.
yea i agree brother .. its unfortunate it should just be talented kids regardless of color they all had to work hard to get where they at but this is america ....
@Dias06 That is their race.
THIS IS HOTT! These drum Majors put on a phenomenal show everytime. Love how the majorettes joined in & that bow. Bright future for them. Lovin It
Me too! I thought the part where the ladies (majorettes) came up and joined in alternating w/the drum majors was the best. Very interesting, and as usual, done on a professional level. What a treat this group puts out every time.
They are not majorettes. They are the dance line
They dont even seem like a High School band. They are very professional well done
“Look at that boy John! To the sky!” 😂😂😂
Right!!!
😂🤣
😂😂
Oh toes... Toes on tha balls a ya feet! 😂😂
J Bentley 😂😂😂😂
I have been watching these kids now on TH-cam for the last few months. They were in my suggestions and I got hooked. As a former High School/College band nerd, myself(😉) and a music teacher for over 25 years, I have to say I’m proud of these kids. I know they don’t know me from Adam, but I’m proud of them. From the videos I’ve been seen posted, these kids work hard; and I’m sure in order to do what they do they also have to keep their school work up to par. This is NOT easy. Trust me, they could be doing a lot worse activities. I pray this experience will take them far after graduation.
Kudos to the Band Director and all their leaders!✊🏾
This video should come with a WARNING! Don't try this at home 😂😂😂 This guy is incredible! All of them are inspired. It's not easy. This is serious performing arts for a HS band.
What I noticed about the band nerds... later in life all that nerd work pays off. They're the ones rocking the stage with live bands... they're the horn sections that make an average band way ABOVE AVERAGE.
It's a shame this comment only has 144 likes ??? This was the most important statement in this Thread. 👏
same ... saw them in my YT feed last night and I watched vlogs for like 4 hours!
@@BritgirlTX You got the feed at the same time as me. So addictive! Up till then I'd been binging watching ATL Roll Call | Jive Biscuit 2020 etc.
That route is long af! I know they were worn out by the end. Lol!
The man is a leader. He’ll look back on these times and thank everyone around him. Coming from a fellow drum major
An Alpha with class and skill!
Whoever instructed these kids, deserves an award. I know in parades it’s easy for a band to be relaxed and not care as much. However, these kids kept it up the entire time. Also, the tone quality of the band is pretty good too. So many bands stop caring about performance and only care about showmanship. I’m a fan of this.
God bless you. I bet you are fantastic too!!!
So proud of this show band. Their energy and professionalism are outstanding even in the close quarters of this internal parade and audience. Justin and the other drum majors are a major talent far surpassing that of most college bands. After learning about them on Instagram I've gone back and reviewed all the videos on TH-cam to follow their progress. Way to go, Jefferson Davis Volunteers. You'll remember these days the rest of your lives
Justin better known as White Chocolate! LOL. These young men are doing the damn thing. The band sounds awesome and dancers and flags look great as well. This is a program to be proud of. No matter what school they decide to attend these four gentlemen will become drumajors and represent well.
Justin's nickname is Vanilla Funk !!!
It's vanilla funk!
These drum majors are among the most highly trained DM's i've ever seen....and I've been invovled in HS bands since the 70's.
Man idk if it’s my pregnancy hormones or what, but this makes me just so happy I could cry. These kids are working so hard to give a quality performance. They look so professional and are working so well as a team. The camaraderie and energy is amazing. Give the band director a raise!!
Just saw him and his marching band on AGT> heard they call him “vanilla funk”
Yep....in a chocolate city
@@craiggrainger8571 well you can always use a marshmallow or two or a few, in your hot chocolate, just like you need whipped cream! Makes it even sweeter, and pretty. Just like you put icing on a cake. I’m used to it, I grew up where we have many ancestries I always say certain parts of la cajun creole, french indien people are like our dark chicory French cafe au lait cafe, some of us just have more steamed milk in us and others may be dark chicory! It just depends but one thing I GUARANTEE we all are Jolie (pretty) people, because we come from a rich variated ancestry. Just like the Yazedi’s in Iraq that Alexander the great and his men married into. We had the tribal people’s first then they married the Spanish them the French came, later the west African and island people came, then more Europeans came in early 1800s from Holland, maybe even sooner. But they named zwolle where we have a lot of Spanish indiens that because the guy that named it is from Holland and that’s his home towns name. In fact some people say they are “dutch cajuns” because they are light and fair. That’s does not mean they aren’t native or la French people, they speak the patois. Just like any other ls French person. The Choctaw tribe speaks French like many tubes cause they fought with French and cajuns against la Bretagne (Brits) so that became the Choctaw French language, creek spoke its, so did my defan papas tribe.
@@foxibot that. Is. SO. COOL!!
@@filthyapostate4217 it is.
The entire band has incredible energy! Way to go kids!
YALL BETTER STOP PLAYING WIT THAT BOY JUSTIN!!! lol
That shit ain't easy u gotta be on beat extremely animated keeping up energy
I was just thinking that. 22 years ago I was a captain of the flag Corp and that is tiring in itself
Sistas be getting down to 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍹🍹🍹🍹😘😘😘😘
nobody:
me: come on white boyyyyy, you betta steppp😂😂
Hahaha!! Right!!🤣
😂👍🏽
You get a scholarship! You get a scholarship! And you ALL get scholarships! 💯
😂😂😂😂😂
Oprah Winfrey in the house lol
He's at Alabama
@@BritgirlTX he’s at Alabama state university
Me on my way to the buffet after quarantine
Hilarious 😂
Shut up 🤣🤣🤣
Bahahaha I needed that
I laughed out loud. Thanks! 🤣💜
"Vanilla Funk" earns his knickname!! He brings it for Real! You know he has to work it twice as hard!
It doesn't matter what RACE he is ... he's doing his Thang...God bless him
Those babies danced there hearts out. The drum majors left nothing but ice cause they were "OUT COLD WIT IT". The band was on point.
If you are a former drum major.... you totally understand this is not easy. They are focused and so organized. I love it.
The fact they said “look at that boy John” 😂
I know! 🤣😂
The best part is when they danced together. The perfect harmony of masculine and feminine energy colliding into one
This made my night 🤗...I love this band, their energy, their enthusiasm, their inspiration...and Justin and his drum majors rock my world...this entire band is so wonderful to watch...I just smile😎...Thank You!!🎵🥁🎺...lots of love from Ohio(snowstorm here)❄☃️🧡💛💚💙💙💜👬❄☃️
Damn. That drum major in the front... not only does he have AMAZING STAMINA for doing all this with a whistle in his mouth and not breathing through his mouth, BUT HE DOES IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. I love this man, no more to say
I was just thinking about that with the whistle. Their stamina (the whole band) is legit
I watch him more than my action movies and I'm 77 years old. He is best or beast of the rest.
Justin came to Mardi Gras showing what he is working with.. (Excellent all way)
They like a mile ahead of they band lol
Since when drum majors turned into majorettes... the band is like 50 yards behind, how are they being directed???
@@TheRunner4health its beyond me bro lol
@@shakaflemings6605 Watch some of their earlier postings. Even though they're near the band, I see absolutely no adult directing these kids at all. Even when the band's in the stands, the adults have obviously trained these exceptional men and women to take the real lead and the adults have backed off. When my kids' marching band goes anywhere, you almost see more "helper adults" than kids! Just another aspect of this band that makes it so fantastic. Kudos to all the kids AND adults!
The dance girl and flag line are right behind the drum majors and their counts caused them to stop a lot.
@@TheRunner4health since when does a drum major conduct a band while the band is marching a parade..? The drum majors called the songs off and more that wasn't caught on camera, but even corps style band drum majors don't conduct the band in a parade.. they call the song off and thats about it.....
Whoever choreographed this is a genius!
When I heard someone scream To Da Sky, I was like y’all better represent!
What does To Da Sky mean, I'm not familiar with that term.
Neecee811 look up pubbylongway on TH-cam or IG. He started that when he did commentary on this band lead by John Justin😂😂😂
@@Ilove2teach52 thank you for enlightening me Latisha!
They have some great moves! Looking better than some college bands!!!
People like him deserve to be known and appreciated by many. Its not just a matter of dancing. He's dancing with African Americans. He's taking the lead with the band. You see his parents people should get to know , shake their hands and say good job mr and mrs Davis. Good job
Ber Je so because a random white kid dances with black kids he deserves a round of applause?🤔I think not 😕yes he’s talented and he’s clearly worked very hard at being a drum major but just cuz he’s white and the other drum majors are black doesn’t mean he’s a national hero or should be💯
ATeam doesn’t matter if the school is 94% Mexican or 94% Chinese the boy doesn’t deserve no pedestal or praise for doing exactly what all the other drum majors are doing💯yes he was very good and so were the other drum majors 💯he doesn’t deserve a pedestal just because and neither does his parents 💯and don’t you fucking dare say that he has to be twice as good to succeed at anything in life or “to be taken seriously “ because you Wilding out💯BLACK PEOPLE have to work twice as hard to get what he could have handed to him get your facts straight and have a nice day
@@myaathegreat9349 I very much agree with your perspective. It would seem that the 94% black student population should maybe make a stand to change the name of the school rather than praising the drum major that can go anywhere in America and readily receive praise more so than the black drum majors within their own state at the University of Alabama or Auburn University. Love your mindset.
ATeam not mad but clearly you are💯and your race doesn’t define your ignorance💯so you being black has literally no effect on this whatsoever so you could’ve kept that. I also did band through out high school in a predominantly black school and the point remains that he’s done nothing special 💯let’s be real about this he was hyped and over praised simply because he was a kid dancing alongside black kids💯end of discussion
Gotta give it up for him just for his admiration of our band life!!It's so swagged, and unique!!
The brothers 4 are killing it!! The band's the bomb!! The girls are beautiful!! They're clean!!
A considerable amount of time and effort has gone into this high school. The young women and men are all so talented. Watch the CNN piece. They are one band; one sound. Besides.... very entertaining!!
They are at their peak Another OUTSTANDING performance by this show band! Looking good and sounding fabulous! Lady Vols - gorgeous moves and uniforms. And of course, the hardest working DMs in America! Hard to believe they are High School!
I hope all of them succeed in every way possible. Keep pushing forward!!!!
Lmao his names Vanilla Funk tho, I'm done 😂😂😂💀
I wish they did a documentary on this high school band. These kids are definitely going places (They are at college now).
The "bow" was dope..... Watch that cadence Brothers....
Wow - just wow. I love watching this group; they take it to a whole nother level. Not only are the drum majors and girls awesome who are dancing but the band has a great, tight sound too. Btw - whoever choreographs those moves does a great job!
Get it, Vanilla Funk, get it!!! Get it, Vanilla Funk, get it!!! I love me some Vanilla Funk!!!
Yes ❤️❤️❤️
What about the other drum majors??
Black folk are always so gracious--if only others could afford them that same grace!
There will be life like this again after Covid 19.
I look forward to it everyday living in this beautiful city. The heartbeat of this city has slowed down, but it’ll be amazing once it wakes back up. ❤️ humanity is not a virus.
That Cajun Captain a BEAST the ENTIRE time.
Whoever disliked this Is A Straight hater! Keep doing yall thang!
every high school kid NEEDS to be into something after school, helps you in SO many ways for life.
Wow! They are so talented: and this is a high school??!! The music department at this school is a credit to their community 👏🙌
Is it a requirement that all drum majors be pigeon toed? Lol! Whole entire ensemble is gifted! Bravo young people. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
A lot of people overcorrect in marching band in order for their feet to be straight, because our feet naturally go out. It feels unnatural but you get used to it. This is likely the result of just tons of training and muscle memory on their part
Another simply fantastic performance,JD Vols !!! And thanks to ShowtimeWeb for the awesome New Orleans video !!! Us out-of-staters greatly appreciate your efforts, Showtime !
When Justin blows that whistle, they about to fkc it all the way up!
Are they with the band or jus a 4 man drum major crew I can’t even hear the band cuz they so far gone up the street the band bout 3 blocks behind
I ask the same question!
Marcus H. It’s the band the band just wasn’t moving the right pace
I think they leave a lot of room because the drum majors stop frequently
Noah Robinson The band moving the right pace it’s only so fast u can March as a unit the drum majors jus keep hopping and running so far up the street creating that big gap
The little caucasian wonder is stepping for his life..ferocious! A band all by himself..yep!😅😅😅
FIRST, THA BAND MEMBERS SOUNDS GREAT! THE YOUNG LADIES AND FLAG SQUAD ARE INCREDIBLE 😍👌💃👑💖💯 LASTLY YOUR FRONT MEN ARE 💯💯💯 DRUM 🥁MAJORS ARE SOOOOO GOOOOD KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍 🌟💞👑💯
Whaaat?!? Y’all mixed it up with the men and ladies! Amazing choreography and y’all doing your thing! Your hard work, dedication, and teamwork shows! Love watching your vids! 🔥
Because too many people are giving this young man Justin a bunch of smack for being GOOD at what he loves to do, I am pinning my own post I just made to someone who apparently got the wrong definition from Martin Luther King Jr's I Have A Dream" speech:
[and who said a white guy couldn't enjoy and be good at this just because black people started it? Black people are doing things that white people started too, why else would we use titles as the first black this or the first black that.... Some examples? I'm glad you asked.... First black President & First Lady respectively; first black NASA Astronaut; first black Supreme Court Judge; last but not least, first black Miss USA (despite the lies and outcome, Vanessa L. Williams technically holds that title 😔)..... You feel where I'm going with this? Martin Luther King Jr. dreamt we (the nation) would ALL come together as a whole (equal), but I'm pretty sure he didn't mean your way of thinking...Slavery and segregation may have ended, but the poisonous prejudice minds still exists because it's TAUGHT.... generational curses are real folks]
Absolutely on point 🙏
This is what humanity needs to heal, love.
This high school band sound like they should be in the SWAC.....
All of these young people including the band directors have done a phenomenal job. Looking at the level of excellence presented in this video, many hours of hard work have gone on. Great job! You all rock!
Justin is cold 😨😨😨😨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That boy Justin done transfer skools on these folks
hm? what happened?
Oh this comment is pure gold! 😂
Walk on the balls of ya feet!
To da skyyyy!!😩😩
My god, the stamina all these guys have. Knees high, every move fresh and energized while doing it in that swampy heat. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome!! Performance, this group from the front to the very last person is FIRE!!!💕💕💕💕
They always give💯💯💯💯💯 💯💯💯💯💯%
when they perform.💕💕👍👍
Greedings from sunny Phoenix Arizona.🌞💕
Now have them perform during our marching season at a parade.. 😏 These kids KILT it though. I love it. The staff is great and their hard work shows..but that ASU stadium is NO JOKE in August
I like how the adults Are keeping a protective eye out on the whole group. Kudos!
It's a serious task, especially in college. The first thing my instructor told me was "if anyone outside of the band touches your drum, I want you to beat the shit out of their hands"
Can't judge a book by it's cover. Love him and the entire team. Beautiful unity❤
To everyone who mentions the trash in the street, This is Mardi Gras Day in New Orleans. In between each band are floats that throw tons of beads and trinkets to the crowds and some of that stuff ends up in the street including the bags and wrappers they come in. But at the tail end of every parade is a team of 6-8 huge street sweepers that clean all that stuff up so it’s almost like nothing ever happened. Remember that this is the biggest festival in the world.
Don’t get me wrong the white boy is doing good but the three black kings behind him are excellent!
This band has great sound! Y’all make it easy for the drum majors to do their “thang”!!! DRUM MAJORS, great job!! I love watching u guys. Very entertaining♥️
Everybody in the comments all "this is professional level", "this is amazing,""those kids so talented," at cetera. There are a few minor race wars going on in some threads. Meanwhile I'm over here focused on how dirty that street is
The four are amazing, but the girls were on point and beautiful!!!
I really do enjoy watching you guys and I love that bounce back walk. I was like "high school" REALLY!! . NICE
Watching people be amazed by him is everything 😂 like yes y’all, he’s one of us😂😂
Fantástico trabajo buena coreografía, perfecta coordinación, ritmo genial 👍👍👍 Gracias desde España ❤️❤️
Great musicians , colorgaur--drillteam,and Drum Major's
🎵😎🎵😎👍🎵👍🎵
Got his scholarship to 'bama though! Good for him and all the drum majors. They are all excellent. I love to see them perform!
I love seeing people's reactions. This is a great band. I'm not even from Alabama and I love this band and I'm so proud. 😭❤
I really like these kids since last year,. They show the DMs a lot but this whole band and dancers are really great. Thanks for the intro ShowtimeWeb!!
there is a lot of garbage in the streets !!! 😖😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
The band and everyone was amazing, but I couldn't stop staring at the nasty street, I felt bad that they had to walk through that, I was seriously cringing 🙁😯
It’s Mardi Gras what do you expect
parade in the ghetto be like
They literally clean the streets after the parades. If this was MG day, people were out there all night claiming their spots. I bet the damn trash cans were full. 😒 living here most of my life and they never have enough trash cans for the amount of trash. But, the street cleaners do a great job. This past Mardi Gras was the busiest ive seen in years.
It’s Mardi Gras day in New Orleans. Before and after every marching band are floats throwing beads and trinkets to the crowds. They just throw the plastic wrappers and bags off the float as well. Each parade ends up with a half dozen street sweepers that clean it all up to get ready for the next parade.
When you have to be an athlete to be in the band lol. They showed out!
Wow! This is astonishing! This whole band has excellent talent and they are playing and performing at an elite HBCU level. I hope they all get scholarships.
Dear Lord, please cast a blessing over the good folks of New Orl'ans.
I enjoyed them in Mobile Monday. They done an awesome performance.
I have seen a lot of this band's videos but have to say when these boys danced with the girls, that was fire! 👏👏👏
They sound amazing.
They do.
He grew up in the HOOD for real 😂🤣😃
Good show .Hard working Drum majors.👏👏Band sounding sweet...
Soooo the Drum Majors are killin it, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH THE DANCERS???? They are very lackluster 🙄🤦🏾♀️
They waayyyy more lit than any high school I’ve seen in the city.
They all did a beautiful job!!! Well done 👏
They had me and the kids dancing loved it🎊🎊
Go head y'all step on . Those lines and formations are clean. Whose in charge hats off.
