I played bass drum in NC A@T'S Marching Band from 1976 to 1980. During that time period, it was very difficult to make the drum line, there were usually only 24 members that were in the drum line. But the 24 that made it, were The Best of the Best. AGGIE PRIDE
What comes through is that you can tell that the members (flag, dancers, musicians, drum majors) are totally into it and love what they are doing. Plus the athleticism is off the charts!
When did people start booing like that? Like these are young adults doing what they enjoy...that mess is disgusting!!! Why would you tear these young folks down like that?!!
Brandi Shine I was there. I was going to be so upset if they kept booing during NCAT performance but they didn’t. NCAT held it down they were winning the crowd.
Norfolk's crowd has always been like that. It was worse when their pep squad was huge. The 3-way battle that took place there with these 2 and VSU was hard to enjoy, they started the wave during one of the selections, the worst
@@gtbproductions_ it's on video lol. Stop acting like y'all are proper. Next thing you're gonna say is that your alumni doesn't try to fight the Spartan Guards during a drum battle and got their ass handed to them. (That's on video too).
The band majors were clean af, the dance girls were elegant, the flag bearers were perfect and the band played wonderful despite been in a new turf. The booing was uncalled for and very inappropriate.
Have some respect...NO BOOING ur guess team win or lose. They did it...I love NCAT...drove 6 hours to see the games and hell yeah...the BANDS where awesome. Drum Majors killed it...n the Ladies R 🔥🔥🔥🔥AGGIE.. BLUE N GOLD👏🏾💜
North Carolina we never care bout opinion we come to show what you missing down here.....I love it....through the negative we still perform with grace.... Greensboro nc stand up....
@Lottie, well said! I was thinking the very same thing myself. I am SO proud of these young men and women!!! I don't have kids, but I am in support of our youth and their futures.
A&T’s band is the best. Recorded them when they came to UNC. The bad was better than the football game in the stands and at halftime. You guys make NC proud!! And great video guys!
Yeah I've never been to a battle of the bands or even a halftime show where the opposing crowd boos the band. Unless one band disrespects the other first.
1.06 seconds...head Cymbal guy knees went up, he push those cymbals toward the floor, his hold being said, let's go to war. You can see the passion and I LOVE IT
From a Spartan Alumni and past member of MDFS. The Drum Majors were so tight best they’ve been in years. The ladies so beautiful and elegant. Just didn’t feel the energy I should have with them marchin in on “Cage”. That’s such a driving cadence.
Man yall Don't know what it takes for a marching band to preform. They practice year round, in the hot 🔥🥵 summer in the sun 🌞☀and humidity. They practice in the cold 🥶 winters in the snow ❄and ice 🧊. They even practice in the rain 🌧. It takes a lot of wind to hold those instruments up, play ▶️your lyrics, and March in sequence at the same time. I give a salute to my A&T Marching Band and thanks for keeping the spirit Alive. Will Diddy A&T Alumni 1996 AGGIE PRIDE 🐕
AWARD FOR THIS OUTSTANDING ENTRANCE!! 🏆. students on Cymbals Y'all can high step💯 March!!! band sound so good..💯we hear you Quads..💯.and Oh swag of those Bass drummers💯LOVE THIS VIDEO! No bands can March as well as N. Carolinian students. Take note. Good job drum majors don't worry about the haters.. ignore them..
That boy kev said let me go outside and get thee exclusive! I love it.. the he moved over by the tenors, so you could see and hear everything.. yep. Premium content bro
Crowd definitely didn’t pass the Vibe Check with the ignorant booing. These are our youth no matter what colors they wear or schools they represent. Be supportive or keep quiet.
Out of all of theses type of bands This North Carolina band is the best overall I think. Like Southern U has got that radio sound down pack but from a musical stand point the sound quality is like listening to the radio. Very getho sound. FAMU has a very clean sound but sometimes sounds too white bread if you know what I mean. North Carolina seems to have the full package.
Hey now....I didn't go to college for band, but I went to a high school called Jesup W Scott, we were known as the "Scott high bulldogs 100 Marching Band. We were styled after FAMU, because our band director AGUSTUS WALKER,( R.I.P.) graduated from there. Although you all were booed, you won the band brawl hands downs. You got my vote.
I personally, for every like 2 pennies it's worth, enjoyed watching this introduction for this Marching Band more than that of their counterparts. It showed a little more nuance to me and demonstrated in their intro how they could function in time even with their heavier instruments in a manner that was more than just marching in a line. Kudos to these LOVELY Marchers!
Just seeing this!! AWESOME!!! It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, intelligence and passion to do what they do❤️❤️I am proud of them!!! The booing is total ignorance.
I can't believe people have stooped to booing. Granted the band doesn't sound or look anything like I remember but funding for music education has also changed...ALOT. I remember marching in their homecoming parade as a high school student and our high school wear the same colors. Rival high school in their city also wear the same colors. We all friends until the game. We talk trash and music battle but never stoop to boos. At that time our band was a shadow of its former self but we encouraged each other. Seems like all that flies out the window these days.
Still my favorite!!! NCAT. I just love them they 🔥 🔥 🔥. Norfolk did they thing to but sorry NCAT is where it's at. Show so respect people don't hate. All those people boo in probably never been in band a day in there life. If they have they would never boo. It take talent to be in band. Lot's and lots of talent. Give respect for all bands they work hard.
A&T showing out with that intro... especially the drummajors... they looking good... I was gone call them Lil Jackson State J5.. but im not goingbto do that.. they did their thing.. just clean it up a bit
@@koachtri7519 real talk...this video has 275,000 views. The Legion's video from the same channel has 3.5 million and has been featured on countless band reaction videos with comments from viewers from Greece, the UK, Australia and beyond. Real talk.
It takes that ONE person to realize that the line is curved while marching in! It takes that ONE person to notice & get it back straight again! I applaud you sir. 3:39
I really enjoyed watching and listening to both drumlines. You can feel the African drum rhythms . Tells you what region the drum beats are from. My high school band in New jersey had the same drum rhythm. The drummers were from Virginia and North Carolina like my families
My cousin was a member of Purple Haze which were the drum majors for Morris Brown in the early 2000's and they had the best entrance and marching style, but FAMU they were always on point!
yall stop booing man these are our folks regardless of university
Ong
Yes indeed ! Close your eyes....imagine their drumbeats like being on the African Continent. This drum line is make the drum talk;
As a drummer myself from 1984, the tenor line killer it. Anyone that booed doesn't appreciate true music.

Took the words out of my mouth.
Wow drum majors KILLED it! The crowd couldn’t boo them they had to show respect after that! Lol
Facts. They can boo all they want, it won't change the fact that they are THAT BAND of the MEAC period
What they do😂😂🥴
When did people start booing like that? Like these are young adults doing what they enjoy...that mess is disgusting!!! Why would you tear these young folks down like that?!!
Brandi Shine I was there. I was going to be so upset if they kept booing during NCAT performance but they didn’t. NCAT held it down they were winning the crowd.
Adrienne Smith happy to hear NCAT held it down!!
I know right..they just was mad Norfolk state band wasn't coordinate plus drum major was off....
Norfolk's crowd has always been like that. It was worse when their pep squad was huge. The 3-way battle that took place there with these 2 and VSU was hard to enjoy, they started the wave during one of the selections, the worst
????? Delirious comments here. State gets booed in Aggie Country too. They’re in sworn enemy territory what do you expect????
All those boo's were just unnecessary. I thought both bands did an excellent job.
It's part of the rivalry. They boo at A&T too.
Liquid Light ... They actually don’t boo at A&T
@@gtbproductions_ it's on video lol. Stop acting like y'all are proper. Next thing you're gonna say is that your alumni doesn't try to fight the Spartan Guards during a drum battle and got their ass handed to them. (That's on video too).
Norfolk is ghetto! They wasnt boo’d at a&t stop lying liquid y’all just act and look ghetto🤷🏾♂️
Liquid Light the crowd at Ghoe last year clapped for them, culture is different at both schools
The SHARPEST group of Drum Majors I've seen in a WHILE!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯
The band majors were clean af, the dance girls were elegant, the flag bearers were perfect and the band played wonderful despite been in a new turf. The booing was uncalled for and very inappropriate.
people only boo when they know the real deal is in the house
Only A Black Marching Band can pull this off way to go my Beautiful People Keep up The Great Work and may there always be HBCUs
Have some respect...NO BOOING ur guess team win or lose. They did it...I love NCAT...drove 6 hours to see the games and hell yeah...the BANDS where awesome. Drum Majors killed it...n the Ladies R 🔥🔥🔥🔥AGGIE.. BLUE N GOLD👏🏾💜
North Carolina we never care bout opinion we come to show what you missing down here.....I love it....through the negative we still perform with grace.... Greensboro nc stand up....
Wasn't no fear in this band!! DM'S SOME BAD BOYS!!! Good sportsmanship and good manners should always be shown to your guests, win or lose.
North Carolina A&T University Band is 1 of those Colleges that ALWAYS Look good to me...They really do TURN UP!!👍😁
You go my beautiful Kings and queens may you be blessed and much success in your future
@Lottie, well said! I was thinking the very same thing myself. I am SO proud of these young men and women!!! I don't have kids, but I am in support of our youth and their futures.
This band is tragically underrated
My grand nephew is a student at NCA&T. I see why he's enjoying it...
Drum majors ate that!💪🏾
Kyle Brown like always !!!
No matter where you go, you always have the rowdies. Low life, who can't do what these kids are doing.
A&T’s band is the best. Recorded them when they came to UNC. The bad was better than the football game in the stands and at halftime. You guys make NC proud!! And great video guys!
I’ma Bethune-Cookman dude, but I must say that A&T’s intro was DOPE!💯💯
I hate that the crowd boos. And I'm an NSU alum.
spartangirl lol, but it brings characters them kids can deal..... stop babying them.
yes that was so inappropriate, battle of the bands is supposed to be positive
@@jennerial this is named band brawl. Its not about playing nice. Lol
That shit had me mad but at least They look and sound nice
Yeah I've never been to a battle of the bands or even a halftime show where the opposing crowd boos the band. Unless one band disrespects the other first.

this season. is something else JUST WOW! every marching band
Loveeeddddd the entrance. The drum majors were dope
I love the way that they're turn that corner for their seats. The whole entire band is awesome just like Norfolk State University
Yeah, they pivot on the inside foot as opposed to the outside foot like the military.
Yessss...I love how they turn to go to their seats... it's smooth 😎
Big show !. A lot of energy and very well coordinated music band and movements. Very nice your videos. Keep it up guys!
Progresso yoro en Honduras?

I digg the gold suits they pretty tight 💯💪🏾
Wow that band is huge. Loved those casual uniforms. I wish I could've heard them play though. .North Carolina A&T were awesome when I was in college.
The Boo’s were very inappropriate-we should be proud of ALL of our students doing POSITIVE things!!!!!!
Drum Majors! Very nice routine! Tough, dope, & lit 🔥 I like it alot!
Crowd definitely didn’t pass the Vibe Check with the ignorant booing. These are our youth no matter what colors they wear or schools they represent. Be supportive or keep quiet.
That groove them drummers got going on at 7:35 and that chant dope
"Say what?" 😉

That tenor drum line though🔥🔥 especially him in the front of the 😍🔥
This breaks my heart with Booing we are supposed to root for each other 😢😍 I live both bands
Instead booing these young they should give them encouragement and show them respect!
Yooooooooo that very first cadence and that second cadence run them lil tenor was rockin in sync and the first guy made them look even better
Alright now..stepping high and sounding good...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻we hear those quads ...
When we encourage young people, this gives them the strength and the faith to strive and be the best!
Just seeing this!! AWESOME!!! It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, intelligence and passion to do what they do❤️❤️I am proud of them!!! The booing is total ignorance.

"Cage" is like the perfect cadence to march into a venue with.
Those bass drums are very well tuned.
That booing ... 🤦🏾♀️WOW!! 😒😢 Smdh .. this was really good watching!!! 🔥🔥🤞🏾 all LOVE💓 all the way from South Florida#
The tenor section was rocking 🔥
Those Drum Majors are smoooooooooth!
If i could give more than one like, i would have given a dozen more. The is was perfect. The majors was 🔥
Still my favorite!!! NCAT. I just love them they 🔥 🔥 🔥. Norfolk did they thing to but sorry NCAT is where it's at. Show so respect people don't hate. All those people boo in probably never been in band a day in there life. If they have they would never boo. It take talent to be in band. Lot's and lots of talent.

Carmen Jackson At least 75% of the people in there are old band heads bt that’s jus the 75 for ya
North Carolina university , the fantastic , excitment bands are a lot of fun, the dolls are plainly nice, the great amateur staffs are dancers.
All that booing wasn’t right. Have some respect. No team sportsmanship the school should do a better job on informing that.
The drum majors were 🔥❤
Cold steel swag is soooo untouchably smooth
The end was smooth! Aggie Pride!!! 💙💛💙💛
This my favorite drumline this year, just a good blend of everything.
NSU fan from New Orleans ♥️🔥🔥
2019 Smooth Ignition 🔥
I agree poor sportsmanship both bands did an awesome job!!
A&T showing out with that intro... especially the drummajors... they looking good... I was gone call them Lil Jackson State J5.. but im not goingbto do that.. they did their thing.. just clean it up a bit
They do remind me if JSU interms of Drum majors and percussion power.
You know your band THE SHIT when you're hated on the most from a simple walk thru 😂 Let's Go AGGIES 💙💛

Fantastic entrance!!!
my favorite college band. love the energy
go aggies
They did good but as a former dancer in a band I get it. The rivalries are so real and spectators just wouldn't fully understand 💯😂❤
The battle was so bias I don’t understand why people are booing a&t
I thought that was so rude and unnecessary! Good observation.
They are at Norfolk Stats....home court advantage. All of these competitions should b at a neutral venue
Hostile Turf but if anything that's motivation for them to go there kick ass and take names and to me they did
Tenors smooth asf🔥🔥🔥
Damn that's a lot of woodwinds
THIS WAS A GOOD BATTLE THAT IS MY BLACK VAN IN THE BEGINNING OF VIDEO AND I WAS THE HOST
NCAT & Golden Delight is my favorite MEAC band❤❤❤
I really enjoyed watching and listening to both drumlines. You can feel the African drum rhythms . Tells you what region the drum beats are from. My high school band in New jersey had the same drum rhythm. The drummers were from Virginia and North Carolina like my families
They did AMAZING
FAMU is the only band that I have seen with more than four drum majors. When I marched against them, they had 9 and they were all horses!
My cousin was a member of Purple Haze which were the drum majors for Morris Brown in the early 2000's and they had the best entrance and marching style, but FAMU they were always on point!
Thanks to the brother who straightened the line lol.
Well put together! Awesome!
Those cadences were interesting, I liked the overall marching ESP @3:40, then the DMs did their thang!!!
Ifgaf how technical Norfolk is I love them both a&t is still legendary !
Norfolk State's entrance was much better and their drum section was much cleaner and more precise!
I have to agree.
that drum section is nice
7:14 that break down is FIYE!!! I don't know what they're saying but that beat sounds like it's in the jungle.
Bass Reeves "The blue and gold crush, say what say what say what"
The Blue and Gold Crush say what say what say what!!! Is what they saying A&T band chant...
They hating hard they did their thing
I liked they entrance way better than Norfolk by a long shot.
They LIT ASF!!!
However, I do like this cadence
Dang!!! Much respect!!!
I went to North Buncombe High in the early 70s ,
Glad I'm not there now
Coming From A SU Man Y'all Drums Section Sounds good
Great Job Ladies and Gentlemen
I love the band's chant
I love it too. It's a call and response, does anyone know what they're saying?
blessed 58 they saying “the blue and gold crush... say what, say what, say what!!!
That booing is irritating and the band did a fantastic job!
I love the mase work from the drum majors. That was different. Well don't
The best 👐 down
Aye them chest tenors groovier than the cymbal section lol
Aggie 2001!! Best year!!Aggie Born ! Aggie Bred! Y'all know the rest
3:24 amazing
