Man I can't believe I'm still watching this clip in 2021.... that 2009 legion was on one, no hbcu could f with em pound for pound...... no not even su...... smmfh.
I wish we could get a decent sized alumni band together. I really want to have a botb of us vs the current legion. If we could get 100 instruments from 1998 to 04, we would crank
Up until 2010 no meac band except a&t could touch us (the legion) And they had to be on 100%. We were Golden State. And every band that came close counted it as a win.
i like this battle because scsu didnt let nsu push them around even tho nsu played espn back at them(louder)....scsu didnt stop playing........GOOD JOB SCSU!!!
@Illculture they played their 'Can You Feel It' fanfare... sounded good honestly ... the battle was SUPPOSED to be over but just as the DM's were going to call off Behold and have us leave they started trying to play... and we wont havin dat... you DONT interrupt Behold... plain and simple.
I trying to remember what SCSU played to start all this. I know NSU was about to leave, but they stopped cause SCSU asked for more. But I can remember what they played. Any help?
Why not they went at famu and bcu why be scare of a band that the same size as you Norfolk don't try to over power u with sound they out play you with music I never been to nsu I am just stating the turth
NSU was like “Y’all done? We’ll pick up where y’all left off” 😂😂😂
been coming back to this video for over a decade
This was one of the best battles Ive EVER been too. So much intensity. Much respect to both schools.
marching 101 alum
at 2:57 NSU sez: I'll pick up YOUR song and PUNCH you in the FaCe with it!
I would have retired my horn after NSU hit playback! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed
There isn't no coming back after NSU slayed them!
I really miss these gym battles
lol i still laugh at the camera man... "Whoohoohoo! ... *pans to SCSU* What YA'LL got??"
NO BAND plays “Dirty Diana” better than NSU LEGION 😮💨
Nsu Went Crazy💯💯
Did you hear that "Word Up" by the Euphoniums in ESPN?? That counter-melody is crazy. NSU smashed they azz.
that's when nsu was the shit
yep!!
Brooooo!
I like seeing videos of the old MEAC bands they used to be a real beast.
I'M IN LOVE WITH STATE BUT I'M SORRY NSU KILLED IT
I MISS 09 BAND!!!!! COME BACK NSU 09 !!!!
Man I can't believe I'm still watching this clip in 2021.... that 2009 legion was on one, no hbcu could f with em pound for pound...... no not even su...... smmfh.
NSU...you know you wrong for that...
I think I woulda jizzed my pants had I been there in person. NSU gave it to them, hands down
lmao the fact that The Legion finished SCSU's sentence is TOO funny...i am a proud retired Legion Member
As much as I like SCSU, NSU went HAM on dat ass!!!!!!
You gotta go with the Legion on this one. They been crankin on everyone this year.
Norfolk you have the best ESPN of all HBCU bands. Keep it comin NSU!
Nope
@@deneciaolawumi2159Yes
3:49 band director had me weak "get cho ass down" lol
I wish we could get a decent sized alumni band together. I really want to have a botb of us vs the current legion. If we could get 100 instruments from 1998 to 04, we would crank

Edit: sounds like it's possible in 2024
Definitely in 2024
NSU KILLES IT EVRY TIME!!!! DEY DOES HARD!!!!
nsu cranked on sucs i mean scsu
nsu majorettes shook it too espically on espn
NSU dem Tubas came in strong
SCSU needed to retire after this gym battle.🤣😂
Up until 2010 no meac band except a&t could touch us (the legion) And they had to be on 100%. We were Golden State. And every band that came close counted it as a win.
The stories people tell their children...
and we were blowin like this like 2 hours into the battle. SCSU couldn't hang with us.
Both bands were Brilliant tho' #musicianship #hbcu
Two Songs You NEVER play in a Battle with the Spartan Legion: Dirty Diana and ESPN...
It's a shame what they did to that Dawg... #SMH
they sound so good..!
@GB19791 That's probably because NSU BD and music arranger are grads of SU.
I pretty sure they wanted to be hire at Norfolk state Dr. Fears build a very good program there
maaaaaaaaaaaaan i miss this!
This shit went HARD...IM JUMPIN UP N DOWN N MY SEAT LIKE DAYUM...lmmfao
LOL at the end it looked like the BD went up to the drum major and said get da hell off dat ladder...
NSU Got this one.
look at SCSU's band director talkin to the drum major at the very end. he was like "get yo ass down now. you just made us look bad"
Really? ESPN? We played that in SEVENTH GRADE!
I love all the boo's at the end for SCSU. NSU murdered them
@legion2004 Wow...I just noticed that. What was the thinking behind twirling their cymbals....at the tuba section?? LOL
i like this battle because scsu didnt let nsu push them around even tho nsu played espn back at them(louder)....scsu didnt stop playing........GOOD JOB SCSU!!!
I marched for Hampton in the late 80's when Hampton feared no one. I am not even gonna front. NSU stomped a mud hole in SC State.
its like yall knew they were going to play ESPN and yall were going to be ready to CRANK lol
Hell Yah yah seet NSU mi seh!!!
@Illculture they played their 'Can You Feel It' fanfare... sounded good honestly ... the battle was SUPPOSED to be over but just as the DM's were going to call off Behold and have us leave they started trying to play... and we wont havin dat... you DONT interrupt Behold... plain and simple.

I trying to remember what SCSU played to start all this. I know NSU was about to leave, but they stopped cause SCSU asked for more. But I can remember what they played.

NSU scarred them up.
Come on now, let's be serious. Crowd response says it all. Cant come toNSU with old songs.

NSUUU killin lol
and that was powerless as well, lol!
NSU all the way!
DAMN NSU, They cranked that shit at 2:57.
I think all their euphs shold just apply to NSU already... they try so hard to be like us...
no way!!!!!! NSU ALL DAY. SCSU did good but NSU was killin on dirty diana n ESPN. it was extremely powerful
#slaugther Win goes to NSU
2:57 THAT'S IT, IT'S OVER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
they're good..!
I bet they won't come at jsu or southern University like that.
Why wouldn’t they.....Norfolk is supposed to be scared of them!! 🙄
Why not they went at famu and bcu why be scare of a band that the same size as you Norfolk don't try to over power u with sound they out play you with music I never been to nsu I am just stating the turth
