mikedaflexta i went to southern u only thing i can tell you i seen 2009 legion playing howard because my nephew play saxophone for them i would not take that legion lightly at all
Timothy Smith They definitely did. You must not know a lot about NSU. They dominated the MEAC in the early 2000s. They had there numbers reduced tremendously after the 2010 season.
Dayvon Savage Like he said they never left. Numbers never meant anything to the Legion. The quality never left. And I'm a Legion alum who marched with a 96 piece band and 150 piece band. But get what you're saying though.
Puncho DaGreat I'm also from Virginia right next door to Norfolk State I love you guys the same way I love Southern University I got to give credit y'all brought that heat from Virginia I love it
After listening again and with more focus, while NSU was absolutely amazing, I am rather impressed by ASU. That second song was glass and it was strong, full, and clear. I see a way better band than last year.
Good job to both bands..two different styles and two bands who never get to see each other. I wish these types of matchups happen more often!!! Would love to see JSU vs NCAT, Grambling vs FAMU, and Alcorn vs NCCU
Can Congratulations have its own video?? That was the grooviest shit played that night.. Bama State was grooving. And the Stingettes was putting them other girls in body bags.✊🏾🔥
NSU took this all the way 🙌 I get tired of hearing bands play to mf loud and out of tone the mf Melos and trumpets and the rest of the instruments trying to blow over each other NSU gots this hands down they sound just right and they making the city look good to 😎🤘
clewis0101 no problem. Ill say this bama state should keep this momentum. Idk what kind of practice they was having but this edition already sounds way better then last season and tubas was fire yesterday
Why is a band half the size keeping close with the volume and with a much better sound quality. They get W on that alone. I wouldn't say ASU was blown out though, because they have a little more power
NSU would sound more powerful if the Euphs were playing as one whole section. they are playing as a section but not at the same intensity. its all in the arrangement.
Why y’all keep telling yourselves that lie? They are not half ASU size and they didn’t have a much better sound quality, they have a difference sound and style of play. However ASU had a powerful and projected sound for their size played w/ clarity. Bama State was not that large at all this year themselves. These bands are about the same size. Y’all are so delusional lol
I was there in person and the volume nsu produced had me shook. I was not expecting so much sound from them. Asu wasn't much bigger than NSU. This battle was good. I would give NSU the 1st round and ASU the 2nd.
Cuzzo C Big ? Well depends. In the 90s they were about this size. But in the early 2000's they were even bigger. 2009 was probably their most recent biggest year
clewis0101 to me listening to the actual song and comparong it to there version IMO less is more, now what they did with "congratulations" that has got the right vibe to it....
Bama how ya'll let THem crank on yall like that. They smaller than you. They sound bigger than you. I love it I love it love it...Both bands a magnificent
Kudos to Both band and I cant judge a battle on two songs. But the MEAC better beware of this year's Spartan Legion. Alabama state is still a force in the SWAC.
Norfolk was amazing, but I'm givin it to ASU simply by their diverse song selection. All Norfolk played was hype songs. There was different feelings of music on ASU's side and that ultimately beat Norfolk. No disrespect to Norfolk, they sound absolutely amazing (especially those trumpets 🎺😭) but ASU had a more diverse song selection
NSU played the same Type of Songs ASU played, R&B/pop (Wild Thoughts= I Cant Wait) & Rap (Congratulations=Be Scared) . the only Difference is that NSU played a Original Composition (Be Scared)
+the best in the world WORLD opinions are like assholes. Both bands sounded good. ASU's song selection was waaaaay better. By the way, unlike you I have no ties to either school. it's ok fam
Jordan Todd ASU plays it better a lot more colorful than A&M's so how could you say such a thing? A&M's arrangement is boring compared to State's. You'll see what I mean in October when they have a "WT" battle at MCC. Lol

mikedaflexta you crazy as fuck!!!!
mikedaflexta i went to southern u only thing i can tell you i seen 2009 legion playing howard because my nephew play saxophone for them i would not take that legion lightly at all
I'm a Asu alumni and all I can say is damn!!!!! Nsu they sound great and my school too
derek brewer bruh 09 legion was going for blood all season lol
derek brewer I saw their gym battle against A&T in Greensboro live. Damn shame what they did to that dog
WELCOME BACK SPARTAN LEGION!!!!!! THEY HAVE RISEN FROM THE ASHES!!!
Thomas Perkins back from where,.... they never left!
Timothy Smith They definitely did. You must not know a lot about NSU. They dominated the MEAC in the early 2000s. They had there numbers reduced tremendously after the 2010 season.
Dayvon Savage Like he said they never left. Numbers never meant anything to the Legion. The quality never left. And I'm a Legion alum who marched with a 96 piece band and 150 piece band. But get what you're saying though.
see they playing west side story in case nobody knew
Risen from lack of funds. LOL! Another HBCU that took away funds from the music programs.
Norfolk sounded excellent!!!!
Norfolk putting out for their size! I'm loving it! Take me back to the 2009 Honda Norfolk!
Nsu only went to Honda 2007 and 2008 bro
That "I can't wait " was on point tho 👌🏾
So proud of ASU sound in the 2nd tune...#shedtear
I use to talk so much trash about ASU lol
Calvin Howard bruh I swear if I listened to that blindfolded, I would've never guessed it was them playing it
Can “I can’t wait” and “congratulations” get their own video ?
"Scared" was so clean!!! NSU LEGION's arrangements is unmatched in my opinion! There musicality is 100!!!
This was a great matchup.. 2 different styles, but both bands sound and did great here..awesome job
Norfolk with I can't wait tho
This year will belong to ASU and you could tell with their spring game performance🔥🔥🔥 But Norfolk ain't no joke!!!
"Be Scared" is one hell of an arrangement smh
What's the real song?? I can't find it
devin powell it’s an original composition from their old director
Ok but who is the artist? I want 2 hear the song. I've never heard it...
devin powell It's an original piece written by an old director. Meaning he made the song himself.
UnsolvedMystery80 I was trying to figure out how to word that lol
State arrangement of congratulations nice as hell
I'm sorry I gotta cheat on the Marching 100 with the Spartan Legion and the Mighty Marching Hornets...the musical booty call begins
My Gawd Norfolk 😩😩😩🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
757 stand up!
The legion sound great
Norfolk sounds amazing!
Norfolk sounds truly amazing!!!!! Power and in tune!!!!

Puncho DaGreat I'm also from Virginia right next door to Norfolk State I love you guys the same way I love Southern University I got to give credit y'all brought that heat from Virginia I love it
Nsu and asu for meac swac 2021 plz
After listening again and with more focus, while NSU was absolutely amazing, I am rather impressed by ASU. That second song was glass and it was strong, full, and clear. I see a way better band than last year.
Great short battle but Norfolk is blowing!!!!
Norfolk was better but i like Bama St Post Malone Congratulations arrangement.
Norfolks trumpets on the first song tho ‼️
Wat was Norfolk first song called
LEO ALL DAY "BeScared"
Aaron Adamson who is the original song by?
It’s a student arrangement modeled after “Behold”
Excellent job NSU!!!! Continue to build on this energy
Sorry That Congratulations Was Riding ❗️ Cmon Asu 😇
Seth.N them basses were smooth and they sound hella deep and good af
Yo that Bone solo was nuts. It thought they did great on that arrangement.
NSU won the Stands and They Definitely Won The Field Show There Also Miles Field Show camed in 2nd
That's Congratulations do sound good.
Quinton Knight you can say that again. ASU must have a new arranger because this arrangement has more balance through the whole song.
Asu's congratulations was too groovy!!
I agree 07 on there way to 09 sound.
NORFOLK!!!!!!!!!! DAMN!!!!
YAAAAMEAN
Norfolk's trumpets all in the atmosphere!
NSU MY GAWD!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Norfolk State I Can't Wait needs it's own Video
the best in the world WORLD I'll work on that for you today.
Good job to both bands..two different styles and two bands who never get to see each other. I wish these types of matchups happen more often!!! Would love to see JSU vs NCAT, Grambling vs FAMU, and Alcorn vs NCCU
You gonna see fam vs gram this football season coming up

It'z Sham31L Tv Sure, I'll work on that for you.
HBCUBANDS.COM Thanks and I love the quality if your video.. Keep up the amazing work. One more request.. Deadz
NSU took this all the way 🙌 I get tired of hearing bands play to mf loud and out of tone the mf Melos and trumpets and the rest of the instruments trying to blow over each other NSU gots this hands down they sound just right and they making the city look good to 😎🤘
I see ya ASU... Nice.
My 2 favorite bands. I still regret turning down my music scholarship to Alabama state university.
Asu second song was great
This is what I wanted to hear from state for so long (MMW MAN) play clean and loud not sloppy. Good job state!
Just too clearify something... Norfolk is to the Left and Bama St to right..

Tazzy Whitehurst yes
Of course I find you here . Lol .
I LOVE ALABAMA STATE!!!🐝
the 2nd song from Bama State sounds really good, shit is in the pocket too
Swac took L on this one. Norfolk was bringing it!!
both were bringing... I guess it's about preference
Charlie Harris can't agree. Both these bands doing their thang. Good battle. This a draw!!!
+Carl Randolph ehhh let me look at it again. I do like that Post Malone song ASU played
Charlie Harris I can’t wait Definitely took the battle
Yup nsu with the W.
Hell ya state 🙌🏾
That sax player is killing me 😂 lol
Norfolk blew ASU back home on the first song
Both sound good . Did bama state get smaller? Wow
We're about the same size from last year
clewis0101 oh ok .. i see
+haz Austin but thanks for the compliment!
clewis0101 no problem. Ill say this bama state should keep this momentum. Idk what kind of practice they was having but this edition already sounds way better then last season and tubas was fire yesterday

mybro727 The Legion marched about 113 instruments that day not counted percussion
Jason Meredith ASU had 32 more instruments than Norfolk, yet Norkfolk was just as strong if not more than ASUS! JUST MY OPINION!
Y’all know damn well Norfolk WAS LIT & half the size! Take your L ASU 😂
Love that low low!
Was Norfolk State always that big 😲😲😲🔥
Cuzzo C Big ? Well depends. In the 90s they were about this size. But in the early 2000's they were even bigger. 2009 was probably their most recent biggest year
Christian Legrand no not at all but this year they are close to 2009 size they did some heavy recruiting
Just for me asu's congratulations is on point but leave wild thoughts too aamu tho lol 😆😆
why? A&M's "Wild Thoughts" is dry
clewis0101 to me listening to the actual song and comparong it to there version IMO less is more, now what they did with "congratulations" that has got the right vibe to it....
Bama how ya'll let THem crank on yall like that. They smaller than you. They sound bigger than you. I love it I love it love it...Both bands a magnificent
both bands are about the same size... one just has more trumpets SMH...nice reach though
MeAgainstTheWorld there wasn’t no reach😂😂😂😂
No way bro lol we were no where near their size
Being out there felt just as good as this playback good job both bands but NSU sounds great... Yup!
Norfolk is like half the size of Bama. Like wtf man. That was so good. The Legion is on point this year
George Nance lol. Wrong they’re about the same size NSU just has more tubas.
#Behold
good battle
1:34
Kudos to Both band and I cant judge a battle on two songs. But the MEAC better beware of this year's Spartan Legion. Alabama state is still a force in the SWAC.
ASU
Whats the name of nsu first song
Be Scared, NSU Original
Omg i forgot how much i love the legionn
Asu mellos was getting drowned bad!
They killed it y'all need to listen to their fake love it's hard:O:O:O
Norfolk was amazing, but I'm givin it to ASU simply by their diverse song selection. All Norfolk played was hype songs.

yes, same genre, it just doesn't sound like the same genre
If you're going by song selection alone that's not thinking like a true musician
2:24 don't look left, your sousa will melt
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 @ 5:30
2:44 DEM NUTZ
Alabama State definitely took the L on this Day
where??? 😂
MeAgainstTheWorld in this video 😂😂😂😂
+Dos Equis Norfolk fans are the ONLY ones who think that
MeAgainstTheWorld nah asu definitely took the L😂😂😂😂😂
+the best in the world WORLD opinions are like assholes. Both bands sounded good. ASU's song selection was waaaaay better. By the way, unlike you I have no ties to either school. it's ok fam
ASU 🏆
leave wild thoughts to aamu
smh...I guess the same can be said in reference A&M's tweaked version of JSU's "Humble" then
Jordan Todd ASU plays it better a lot more colorful than A&M's so how could you say such a thing? A&M's arrangement is boring compared to State's. You'll see what I mean in October when they have a "WT" battle at MCC. Lol
Aamu wild thoughts is TRASH!!!
Aamu is the worst out of all Bama bands!!
Aamu isn't bad , for them to be swac they don't sound like it , but they'd make a nice meac band
Both bands are INCREDIBLE!!!...but ASU horn harmonies edge out Norfolk State.
niggas always say the smaller band sound crisps..when we all know ASU killed the on all phases
MEAC > SWAC
Lordt! How many times is Alabama St. gon' die!?!?! They've been getting killed. GREAT JOB NORFOLK!!! Amazing sound!
you're entitled to your own opinion even if it's.... nevermind lol
mRgEniUs who killed them. They definitely didn't die here. This was a draw. Both bands did great.
ASU won this
