You need to see them marching in Mardi Gras Rex parade 2020. You are really doing something to be invited to march in Rex. He finishes his moves cleaner and sharper. That said he gives credit to the other drum majors and the band.
They should get together with the Dancing Dolls from Mississippi now THAT would be CRAZY! Also yassssssss I love his name Vanilla Funk 😂❤️ Also love the sass from him at 2:53
Gotta say, his shiny white face helped get that band the attention it deserves. Years ago, I saw a black marching band in a competition with a bunch of white bands. No comparison. Glad to see these bands getting attention.
@@DriveAustra I hope Doc O thinks about that. This kid has a huge following that could potentially boost the band enrollment at ASU. I’ve heard how Doc likes things a certain way. Out of all the schools Justin could’ve chosen he chose them. That should mean something. I think he’d do ASU proud. Doc might want to look across the way at JSU and their crab DM-the young man from Skyline HS in TX (he was one of their DMs). No shade intended. I live for all the SWAC schools.
It was only a matter of time before vanilla funk was showcased on here! Lol💂🏻♂️I’m ready to see hella vanilla funkiness all across the country. Swag is taking over... not hating on corp style but this is more fun to watch.
I just wish the reverse situation was just as fruitful... black drum majors leading mostly white corp bands... i was in that position and had so much hate from the jealous ass parents of the white kids that didn’t make it. But... hopefully the kids keep turning the world upside-down.
Glad you reviewed JDHS talented band and DM’s. Justin Heideman is one gifted young man among our superstar Black DM’s. He has internalized our African rhythms into his dancing ability. The ability to control and isolate the movements to the layers of rhythms in the music isn’t easy for many people even within the Black culture. He grew up around our culture and seems to have a natural affinity what makes us a beautiful race. He stands out because it’s not expected that he can dance like this. The Black DM’S are expected to meet the challenge so it’s not that they aren’t recognized for their talented awesome movements. It’s just not as much of a surprise. This happens in other dances of the African diaspora when a White student excels.
Vanilla Funk is super talented as a drum major, but in my opinion, choosing Alabama State University was a bad decision if he wants to be a drum major. Dr. Oliver will never put him in front of the Marching Hornets. If Haymer was still at Southern University and Vanilla Funk told him he wanted to lead the jukebox, I bet Haymer would say "let go, let's see what you got."
Big mistake. I think you're soooo right. Because we have not seen him at ASU speaks volumes. I personally think he should have researched it more...wonder if he could transfer out and get a spot over there 🤔
Where do you think the dance moves come from?? J5... Sonic Boom of the South. There's no other DM squad that marches like this. All the DM'S in the MEAC March the same...
Listen, vanilla Funk is the shit no doubt! And he’s blowing up the Internet, right? But you gotta give it to the whole crew like just don’t give it to him. But he definitely deserves his props and this is coming from a white woman.!
Listen, I love school bands! I am all about that shit my daughter is a varsity cheerleader for her high school so obviously we’re at all of the games and their band is amazing. I am all about these damn bands!!!! Vanilla funk is the shit but you gotta give it to the whole crew not trust him!
Yeah, but the he amps it. You need tosee him dressed and walking the streets like you know they do. this just a little something something, and ain't another one like him and we got him. How about that? Can he hang or what?
He graduated last year. He was JDs head drum major for 2 years. He goes to ASU now.
Did he get a scholarship?
@Official FrankLogic Music Um! The real ASU was founded in 1867 the duplicated was later founded in 1903. Get your facts right. #HornetNation #MyASU

@@x-zyan2921 Whoa what when? I know they have a group of girls that are also part of the band but, I’ve never seen them with anyone else.
He’s an awesome kid and very very talented
I died when he said stay where y'all at
i love the energy this guy gives no cap
I can't believe there's still a high school with that name...........damn.
I had the same reaction when. I saw this video 🔥 Justin plays no games.
Lots of videos of Vanilla Funk and he goes hard
🔥🔥🔥 His name is what!? “vanilla funk” 👀 🔥🔥🔥
Please share Justin Heideman Fundraiser
You should watch some of the videos when he was still in HS. He’s also been called “ that boy John”, watch the Homecoming performance.
To the sky lol
This is from when he was in hs
@@michelleelwell5537 it says alumni, he is in college now. Going to be a sophomore this year. I have seen him in his college band playing the trumpet.
I love his hair flip, he's got it!

I love watching them!! Retired band mom!! 😊❤
Brooo he came out in 19 or 20... Yooo my dude was da bidnez. I just knew he would end up at Jackson State
No darling, he is at Alabama State University
Can't wait to see him this Fall at Alabama State University (ASU). Can't wait!!!
Is the DM
Why? He wont be drum major not one year of his attending. Lol this was hs
@@gedobean5267 😂😂😂
@@gedobean5267 you were wrong they have him front and center at Alabama state
Check out Jefferson Davis band in the Mardi gras parade
He currently marches for Alabama State University MMH
Ooh REALLY 🥰🥰
Yep he plays trumpet and you can catch Him on one of the Stingette video but it is a flash cameo. If you blink you will miss him.
He may march in the band, but I don't think he will ever get to march in front of Dr. Oliver's band.

Albany State University had a white drum major a few years ago that was like him.

He dates a beautiful sister as well.

JSU should have been his choice
Wow...you said the same thing my frat brother said...an ASU alumni. Wow. I guess he know what he is talking about.
Just wanted to say that Dr O did put him in front. Quite an achievement for Justin.
He is a drum major at ASU.
I think he literally just graduated
Love your vids bro! Gets me through my work shift 💯. Check out Motor City Heat vs Chicago…won’t be disappointed!!!!
On it! Thanks for rocking with me my G!! More to come
Someone said that he graduated 2020.
OKay. He hit me up on IG and gave me the run down. More to come
