Zero Quarter 

Traditional marching band battle held prior to kickoff of HBCU (Historically Black College and University) football rivalry games, especially in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Fans arrive early to witness bands trade songs up to 1 1/2 hours before the game begins. The first known zero quarter featured the Jackson State University "Sonic Boom of the South" vs. the Southern University "Human Jukebox" at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in 1997.
Jackson State and Southern went at it in the zero quarter!
