The band, better known as the [Human Jukebox](https://twitter.com/SU%5FHumanJukebox?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor "undefined"), has become so popular that the Bulldogs included an appearance by the group in the contract for the matchup, according to the [NCAA](http://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2015-09-26/southerns-human-jukebox-band-wows-sanford-stadium-crowd "undefined"). Fans made sure to return to their seats early to see the nationally recognized routine, and the band delivered, playing hits such as Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” and orchestrating their signature move of spelling out the halftime score. The performance earned thunderous applause from the SEC home crowd. The Human Jukebox has also performed at five Super Bowls and a presidential inauguration. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4051853/southern-university-human-jukebox-marching-band/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4051853/southern-university-human-jukebox-marching-band/"},"headline":"This Marching Band Will Make You Want to Stop and Do the 'Nae Nae' Right Now","datePublished":"2015-09-28T15:05:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:16.815Z","description":"They lived up to the hype","url":"https://time.com/4051853/southern-university-human-jukebox-marching-band/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","College Sports","Music","College football"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4051853/southern-university-human-jukebox-marching-band/","name":"This Marching Band Will Make You Want to Stop and Do the 'Nae Nae' Right Now"}}]}] ```
