Loud, fast with a lot of dancing will always make you one popular band program, but there is something about a band that performs at this level of musicianship and marching technique. Sometimes it’s as if NSU is the Graduate School of Marching Bands. Hats off to the leaders of this program!!!
The Legion doesn't sacrifice musicianship for too much of a flashy visual. Yet they are visually way more disciplined than any other HBCU band. Their sound is way more crisp than any other HBCU band and true to the music they are performing. I put them at top 3 HBCU band, along-with JSU and PVAMU. "Perfection is not an option, but it's mandatory!" As a musician and former marching band musician, that gave me chills. This level of musicianship and HBCU display is like USC's band waking up with the same color skin as us, and better core marching.
@@carmenjackson4597 They both played Stomp by Brothers Johnson. You're entitled to your opinion. A&T did a great job. Just know some of A&T style is from NSU. If you disagree just know our patterns and formations were done before A&T started doing them.
Went to NSU over 30 years ago , even when they numbers was down they've always had top performance. They have always had they own unique style of performing which makes them stand out from other schools. Hail to NSU!!!
The Spartans killed it! Musicianship, sportsmanship, choreography/drills, and leadership. HBCU band performance has a new standard; the Green and Gold standard.... Happy to see them on the road again. Kudos to the students, band leadership and NSU executive leadership.
So I'm literally sitting in my garage watching this clapping...screaming...singing and dancing all throughout!! You all did an AMAZING JOB! I felt chills! 🗣BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD!!! YOU ALL REPRESENTED HAMPTON ROADS (NORFOLK) VERY WELL! 💚💛🔰 I enjoyed this! Can't wait until our First Home Game!!!
Spartan Auxiliary: Silkettes & Spartan Guards: Your synchronized routines & flags snapping set you all in a klass by yourselves! Hot Ice: You looked better than everybody else and out klassed them all. I do mean All. I don't give a f%#£ what anybody else says!! 🔥🔥🌟💥
GREAT SOUND! WONDERFUL BALANCE AND BLEND! CHOREOGRAPHY, EXCEPTIONAL! GREAT PERFORMANCE BAND. I CAN TELL THAT YOUR BAND DIRECTORS KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
This Band is all business!!! I saw them one time a few years ago and have been a big fan every since!! Each auxillary take it serious 😁!! Behold the Green and Gold !!
Spartan Legion.... Jackson State University is making this a true contest between two great bands. Spartan Legionnaires spread the word that we need all lovers and admirers of our Norfolk State University Marching Legion to vote for them for the 2021 National Battle of the Band winner. BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD!!💚💛
@@tysongiles794 you're right. NSU doesn't blast the laquer off their horns or put those expensive horns on the ground. BTW NSU was named by HBCU Sparts as Band of the Year in 2019 and not Southern.
Congratulations to the Norfolk State Spartan Legion Marching Band for being voted the Best Band in the 2021 National Battle of the Bands.! BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD! 💚💛

Can you refresh me when A&T started using toners , Quints and Quads. I played trombone in the early 90`s at NSU don't quite remember seeing that in your equipment , at that time frame must be new. Every super star need a stuntman or woman like I always say yall can be our stuntman band. Kick rocks Keep watching MDFS on the tube eventually you might just get better. Please stop taking credit for the drum line band in the movie , aggies couldn't read flight of the bumble Bee
You’re funny….you can look at videos of Norfolk and A&T over the last 20 years and you will see who copied who…😂…Norfolk has had this style of drilling and playing forever…know your facts before making an ass out of yourself

Surprisingly
I agree and so was NCAT!! To me they was the best!! It’s just my opinion!! 💙💛💙💛
@@carmenjackson4597 NCAT coppied half of NSU song on their field show

Not on the same level
@@tysongiles794 a lot bands battle that are not on the same level, it’s about entertainment. And Norfolk would have did just fine against southern

1 song?
BEHOLDDDDDDDD
"Whew"
The song, the moves, the inspiration was CLEARLY STINGETTE! lollol. Great job NSU Spartan
Your kidding right lol
Anybody else feel like the percussion feature was very “cold steel-ish” kind of disappointing style wise
Does not look anything like cold steel. It was a typical NSU drum feature.
This is Typical NSU. Itll be like A&T when they start doing Flips and carrying people on they shoulders.
Nope…not at all.
Can you refresh me when A&T started using toners , Quints and Quads. I played trombone in the early 90`s at NSU don't quite remember seeing that in your equipment , at that time frame must be new.

@@jasonmeredith1580 Right! No HBCU marching band was using tonals but MDFS. Mr. Jefferson needs to learn some history.
A&T won Band Of The Year again…
find your own style. PS nsu wasn’t on the list, maybe next time
There’s nothing to troll here!!! 🕊⚰️🕊
😬😬😬🗑️
🧢
Beautiful gowns…
nothing to see here but a copy of A&T👀find your on style.
Nice helmet and your flag girls look like men😳
You’re funny….you can look at videos of Norfolk and A&T over the last 20 years and you will see who copied who…😂…Norfolk has had this style of drilling and playing forever…know your facts before making an ass out of yourself
@@troystrong8041 awesome performance by NSU. From an Aggie fan!!!!
Copy????? WHERE???? NSU has had the same style since my MOM was a student in the late 70s/early 80s when they were putting both feet in the CIAA’s asses for years. Bands hated to see Norfolk coming.
And btw I played snare for NSU and it was always great handing Cold Steel an L.
A pressed fan that came alllll the way to the Legion official page to comment. Just know T was not a factor in this botb.
Obviously doesn't know history 🙄
