Dang man... 🤦🏾♂️ I've never really watched Norfork. Nothing bad about them just never watched. People got full sound. They drilling on the field. Nice full sound. Now i am SU all day. That's where my degree is from but we have to stop dissing other schools because they are not ours. Impressed with you Norfork... 👍🏾
Check out Norfolk State marching in- 2019 Battle of the Bands vs NCAT on RUclips...they are 🔥🔥🔥. NSU absolutely murdered NCAT. When they show up they DO NOT COME TO PLAY!!!
I don’t think us as su fans hate on any other band just don’t try to step toe to toe with us and they should be good Idk about the other fans but I grew up with a big band influence in my city So it’s all love
This is one of THE BEST BANDS in all HBCU's ...They don't get enough credit! Music and sound is superior and entertaining .I'm a "Hail Wildcat's" to the end of the this earth.. Go ahead and shout them out. Blessings!
This band right here is just over takes my breath! I love everything about you all since last year in 2020 pandemic at home. You have shown me that dedication starts within you and you all young peoples pour your hearts and soul in your band. Please continue to stay dedicated to your leaders and to yourself in Jesus name. WOW, what a Band! So proud of you all as one Sound!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I love the uniqueness of NSU’s marching style and their SUPER CLEAN and balanced sound is crazy! This is going to be a competitive year cause MEAC showing out. Legion is dope fr fr
The Best HBCU Band I have heard and I have heard most to all. They were Musical, Clean with Clear Articulation and Tone, The Drum Section was Clean and Musical, The Flags and Dancing Group was Dead On and precision was clear and precise. The Overall Show was just a joy to watch and enjoy. The Tone was such a joy to listen to. Not blasting and they were playing together. This is a Band that is as Musical as it gets. The formations was simple but, uniformed. I know many might criticize that they were in "Concert Formation" alot but, I did not care. I want a clean show and I saw it. Kudos NSU for an INCREDIBLE SHOW. Many will hate and that's from their ignorance. What a GREAT SHOW from a GREAT BAND!
(💎 💎 💎 💎 💎)...I will follow them from now on...👏 🌹 applause. P.s. thank you for letting the flags shine 🌞 front and center. Never knew their choreography was so intriguing. (👍)
NSU spartan legion has never been a sleeper band, I went there , ran for SGA, won and still tried out for Spartan guard. I've watch the tapes from The 70's until today... we have consistently been great.
That intro was immaculate! The balance & tone is on point, overall sound is crisp, and I’m impressed! Always been a fan of the Spartans b/c they carry their own identity 1of a kind type vibe… 🔥😎 only constructive criticism I have is to work on marching formations to match your style! But, overall killing it! 💪🏾 oh, that Faith Evans arrangement whoaaaa 🤯😳🔥
As a old legion member from 07 it feels good that the Spartans are receiving their flowers.. I feel you on the formations but what a lot of people don’t know is that our formations are specifically designed to provide the best sound on the field.. if you notice the other bands may have had thematic formations but the sound suffered tremendously.. It part of the reason why we sound so crisp!!
...and she's been a beast since her crab days. I will NEVER forget her representation with her locs, although she had clearly cut them down or they may be roded.
NICE SHOW! It was overall one of the best of the night. HOT ICE that was a beautiful presentation and I saw some classic Hot Ice influences in there. GREAT JOB!
It’s the Tuba line and the drum line. That’s why they’re back there together, that’s why they’re close in parades, and in the stands. They hold the foundation of the groove.
I attended Southern University in the 70's, and I always thought we had the best band in the land, but the Spartan Legion'!!!s overall presentation is superior. From the announcer to the percussion section, it is the best I've ever seen. Their tunnel after games is must see video
That’s laughable! Music is subjective but to say this band is “superior” to the human jukebox is literally laughable! Just judging by the amount to actually formations, SU is better! This band literally spent half the time either not matching or marching in place!!! Now of you say, it’s a different style and you like this style, that’s a totally different conversation! Simply put, there’s a REASON this band is NEVER mentioned among the best bands! It’s because they ARE NOT one of the best bands!!! Point blank!
@@jasonsan9517 Sir you may find his sentiments laughable but your opinion is in the minority. NSU was voted number one . As much as I love Southern, your drills are not komplicated. Doing 8 to 5 and step 2 drills isn't difficult. My high school band taught us that. You are not reading enough. Norfolk is mentioned amongst the elite bands and is world renowned. We may not be as well known as Southern because we don't have that much exposure in the sticks if the deep south.
@@koolkharisma5298 Wait wait wait…!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 SU drills are not complicated?? 😂😂😂 NSU spend half the show just standing there!! How “Komplicated” is that middle school drill?!?! 😳😳👎🏽🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂 Give me a break!! First tell me who voted that stand around drill #1??? 😂😂😂😂
Loved the performance, the uniforms are beyond great, great sound,great choreography, I am a new fan of this band, can't wait to see them in the future ,continue to be great and on top. This band is definitely among the top 3 over all best.
Vote for the Norfolk State Spartan Legion Band for being the Best Band in the 2021 National Battle of the Bands...Thanks.. BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD!💚💛
This footage is much better than the one I saw previously. I don't remember whose it was but I don't think it was Killa Kev. Anyway great job kev as usual. Band sounds awesome and it looks like they have less members this year but no problem still sounds great. The dance squad was very good and choreography was working much improved. The uni's were nice too. Well done you guys.
I never went to an HBCU but I have cousins that went to Howard, FAMU and Hampton. And now I can say my nephew plays for the Spartan Legion I am sooo proud!!! Now my babygirl is learning majorettes a next generation of HBCUer’s. Go Neph Zyon, NSU!!!
Killa’s videos are 💥💥💥….I don’t know what his set-up is but it captures the true essence of bands, good and bad😂…you can’t hide anything from his videos
Band sounds good. Been sounding good. The MEAC is theirs with the other 3 top bands in different conferences now. Hot ice....I swear I be rooting for yall because them girls from the late 90s and early 2000s🙌🏽 The talent and potential is there. I think its just too many girls or they at least need to have cuts. Guarantee they could have gone out there with 5 girls and slayed. M$FS 🔥
I agree with everything you said. I started my fanhood of Hot Ice in the late 99s, early 2000s and that was their best squad years to date. I love my school and will bleed Green/Gold until the day I die, but right is right and wrong is wrong and that is DEFINITELY A REACH re: being the standard. They in top though along with GD and 14K. I've always loved Hot Ice field and their battle routines are too die for but their counts and stands.... dated and kinda boring in comparison to others. Sorry ladies, it's my truth!!!

Appreciation to those doing the work behind the scenes. No need for applause or celebration. Showing up consistently and getting it done. Even under the radar, Norfolk shine.
Dope show but I gotta ask 4:17, why the whole snare line got Vic Firth stick bags with no sticks in them? Bro on the end dropped his stick at like 3 min and had to play the rest of the feature with one stick.
Congratulations to NSU Spartan Legion for being invited to the 2023 Tournament of Roses Parade!!!!

People better stop playing with Norfolk.... they’re extremely underrated!!!
That's a fact.....coming from an SU Jukebox fan, Louisiana native.....that was excellent!!!!
I concur.
Facts
Behold the Green and Gold
Who's playing. What a weird thing to say
Yeah.....NSU 10000% understood the assignment this day. Easily the best band there on the field if we being honest.

You don’t understand how much I appreciate you for post NSU. One of the most under rated HBCU bands. They deserve recognition. Behold 🔰🔰

Kills Kev thanks for finally showing my band. The Amazing NSU Spartan Legion.
No problem but this isn't my first time filming them.
I was about to say lol ... Kev been filming them lol
Stout out from north Carolina 1978
Hopefully MEAC bands get the covered they deserve… cause NSU LEGION had always been unique and a force for YEARS

The Graduate School of Marching Bands!
Nsu has this epicness that never gets old to me.
NICE SHOW! It was overall one of the best of the night. HOT ICE that was a beautiful presentation and I saw some classic Hot Ice influences in there.
GREAT JOB!
Norfolk just has this certain groove to them that I always hear. I don't hear it with any other band. Love it!
Its the percussion section that brings it together.. that's where the groove is
It’s the Tuba line and the drum line. That’s why they’re back there together, that’s why they’re close in parades, and in the stands. They hold the foundation of the groove.
This is one of the most difficult BOTBs to score I can ever remember. Everyone sounds OUTSTANDING
This took me back to Honda '07, the LEGION is back!
NSU showed they ass great job. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye out for them.

Uniforms are top notch. They give me chills
New uniforms but always had a similar style . wish they still had the Chains (i call them Chains of Olympus) on the overlay
Great show Norfolk 🔥🔥🔥Hopefully the people that sleep on y’all have been awakened.

This is my first seeing and hearing this band. I'm impressed. HBCU MArching Bands are all wonderful and very competitive.
Damn Kev thanks man! You always carry the most quality coverage outside of the schools' personal media teams.

Good to see The Spartan Legion in proper form. Their magic number(s) is 144-160. This instrumentation fits their sound. Hopefully no dropoffs.
Top notch brass performance. They were truly hot - From an old Blue Devil brass player.
In recent years we have had members that were in DCI
Man Norfolk the Spurs with Timmy, Manu and Tony dawg. They never get caught lacking....
Facts 😂💯
That’s FACTS
NSU was the first band tape I bought before I went to college. I love the Legion …
It’s the fact that they have a male flag line that was doing the exact same routine in the background and they were synchronized!
I just wish it was More of them, But they are mainly there for Protection of the Danceline (They are Called Guards aka The Spartan Guards)
Lmfao those are guards that'll knock yo neck of yo shoulders with them "flags" 😂
This a bad ass band!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Faith Evans cut was Fiya!!!!
Gave the Hot Ice Dancers some...Loved it.. BEHOLD 💚💛
Norfolk is one of my favorite bands. They're sound is phenomenal and the dance team ate.
I never went to an HBCU but I have cousins that went to Howard, FAMU and Hampton. And now I can say my nephew plays for the Spartan Legion I am sooo proud!!! Now my babygirl is learning majorettes a next generation of HBCUer’s. Go Neph Zyon, NSU!!!
My son is a senior in this band. Excellent program
@@niiabladeyotu5514 awww wonderful 🎉🎊
Gave the flag team some..Loved it.. BEHOLD 💚💛
Flag team is solid. I wish they had better outfits. Those short skirts showing their yellow panties not very flattering.
Great sound and precision! Also great seeing a dancer performing with her natural locs instead of a wig.
There's my son on his Dizzy Horn! Thank you Killa Kev! 💚💛
Even though I am a “boomer,” shoutout to Killa Kev for exposing to different bands and their performing styles!!!💙💙💙💙💯💯💯💯💯💯
