Ive never really been impressed by a flag team until i seen NCAT first flag drill in this video.. those flags moved in like slow motion. great performance both bands.
Big ups to both bands for their HARD 💪 work and dedication. Takes me back to my time when all was right in the world, all I had to do was get good grades, memorize music and high step. Keep doing the thang 'til you can't anymore.
They did okay. But they did not hype the krowd. Neither dance line hyped the krowd. I was there. What sets GD apart from others is they are a Jill of all Trades, dancers/ flag/ majorettes rolled into one unit. Mostly Aggies appreciate that. i don't hear many other fans raving over that.
nsu thru everything at ncat….the cheerleaders, mascot, flags, the Q with the child on his back, home court, the girl or guy with the yellow head scarf, the little girl that was trying to give pointers to the silkketts as well as the little boy with all the energy. I love nsu,( my 2nd fav) but they got slayed this night. we want even talk about the football game the following day,
I think NSU took this one based on the technicality of their routine. Both teams did great and I loved the flags that A&T used I just think that NSU stuck to tradition more and that’s what I like. Great job to the student for all their hard work
Omg these were amazing performances. NCA&T nailed the showmanship. NSU's precision and techniques are incredible! Their drumline is the reason why I went to a HBCU 👏🏾❤️👍🏾
Nsu is one year away from being that band ppl used to fear going up against the trumpets need to step their game up but im glad they're getting back to where they was
KeeKee Flowe it’s not kissing ass it’s just stating what we saw and heard,they were way cleaner and the song selections were entertaining/attention grabbers
Way cleaner? In what world? Lol, I give A&T a few good song selections but overall NSU got that. 🤷♂️ MDFS dropped a stick and still ate...straight beast mode. You don’t know percussion if you think otherwise 💯
Gotta give it to NCAT & those Golden Delights!!. I love to see them perform. Was hoping to see more uniform changes. Nevertheless I was pleased. Keep doing Aggies 👏👏👏
I went back and listened to the opening tunes for both bands and Norfolk was louder more full and more balanced. However I loved A&T's opening. Woke Everybody UP. Good. Job BGMM and SPARTAN LEGION.
GD slayed like always. Everyone did well. I honestly dont feel one band was better than the other. They each had their moments. I will say NSU ,this is thee best yall have sounded in a looooong time. Yall flags are probably the best and most precise in all of HBCU. GD is a totally auxiliary so excluding them of course. Good job. But these new so called "brawls" cant hold a candle to the ones from back in the mid 2000s. Hunty!!
There were some good moments from both bands, NSU had home crowd advantage, but I give A&T the win...more entertaining and better song selections. Good battle...
I could be wrong.... But Norfolk looks like they're in their own building.... Why wouldn't you set up you chairs and seating so that it looks best for your band??? Look at the tuba seats
I think both bads are very good!! Need to hear more from each one. I am trying to figure out why NCAT doesn't do their line dance strut anymore. It is really good. I got 5 on it was good. I also loved SWV, Aerosmith, and Nirvana. The other team did mint condition...whew chile.
NC A&T Wins this one. I like the NSU band also, but Golden Delight is so entertaining and brings out the music being played by the band so well. Great job by both bands, but I'm going with NC A&T. I would like to see both bands at the Honda Battle of The Bands .
Yesssssss Golden Delight. They showed their ass, 😩😩😩😩especially on that twirling feature. The dance feature was cute. But it was nothing compared to their normal field routines. Yes A&T. They took this battle! 👍
Golden delights are performers and that's what they do. They brought sexy to their performance. 15-20 beautiful flags can look better than 5-6 flags easily but NSU flags were clearly a better "Flag" Line. Their precision, and intricate flag movements were on point! If their flags had been bigger like NCAT's were then everyone would have been on board. The bigger caught everyone eye. NSU Their band played better and gave more various and upbeat old skool selections! I like NCAT'S but they were some what dry in playing this go round. IT was like they were just "playing and performing many of the songs.
unbiasly I would say slight edge to the Spartan Legion but the Blue & Gold Marching Machine were right there with them. this was a great battle. As far as the field shows the slight edge favors A&T. However, the Legion was high energy and entertaining as always. I don't know about the 5th Quarter but because Norfolk left early and A&T played a few more selections it would have those to believe the Aggies took it. I will say this A&T came with a purpose. Good job to both directorial staff and bands. BEHOLD! Oh, and to the arrangers of both bands keep cranking out those beautiful masterpieces. You are definitely preserving the culture of HBCU marching bands.
I wish people would understand that. It’s about entertainment. That army shit NSU keep doing is boring. Grow up and out of that shit. I would not send my son or daughter there to make them feel like they in the Army.
NCA&T and Golden Delight for the Win!!! NSU has improved but had too much going on especially during the mix. Hot Ice dancing, Silkettes, the Male guard and cheerleaders dancing as well. Just leave all the dancing to Hot Ice, 🤷🏿♀️
Both bands brought their A game. I give the slight edge to A&T. Great showing from both bands. The crowd gets the real W for being given such a great show.
Both bands were awesome, but I thought NCAT had a better dance team and Norfolk the best percussion (Million Dollar Funk Squad!). So idk...they both rocked, honestly...couldn't take my eyes off of either groups!
the kid with the cute fro at 1:04:49 on dad’s neck had a BLAST. lol. love it.
GerardSince86 that is so precious 😂 They look like they’re having a lot of fun.
Yep I saw that
I caught I caught that
Awesome
They killed that I got 5 on it bruh🤦🏾♂️
Periodt!!
What’s the time stamp when they played it?
Kristina It’s the first song played.
BigBoy Glizzy thanks lol, didn’t even notice was too busy reading the comments
Kristina lmao you know it’s real when you read the comments first.
There is no loser here, just two great bands playing great music.
Honestly couldn't have said it better. A&T has REALLY improved in recent years!
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾👑💯
The Spartan drumline's technique gave me goosebumps, and those quads were 🔥🔥!!
Ive never really been impressed by a flag team until i seen NCAT first flag drill in this video.. those flags moved in like slow motion. great performance both bands.
Late as hell but the flag routine was absolutely amazing
Flags never seem to get enough shine
Auxiliary groups never gets the shine they truly deserve
"you got me swanging" was fire by NSU...this is coming from an Aggie. Great song choice
Yes!
Exactlyyyyyyy.
but that SWV WOOOOoooo and that coming from a Spartan
Clean
Both of them need to be in Honda botb 2020 .....
argreedddd!!!!!!
Sho do
@Michael Maragh Always in Atlanta at the Mercedes Benz Stadium
I live in ATL and just waiting until I find out there are going to be here. The band that they select dont interest me at all.
I AGREE
The difference is A&T has stronger trumpets and Norfolk has strong ass Btones
It’s the other way around... lol
Facts!!!
@@itwasbetterwithhats820 lol idc about being politically correct about instrument names lol; point is Norfolk’s were stronger
@@itwasbetterwithhats820 lol gotcha ! I need Jackson to give it a try
A&T trumpets never know they music😂😂🖐️🖐️
NSU drum line tho.... 😍😍😍
They dropped their sticks 3 times 😔😔
I love my HBCUs 🎥👏🏽
This SWV medley arrangement was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥BEHOLD!
To sum it up we have slept on Virginia!! I am a new fan!
Am I the only one who Loves that arrangement of "Mint Condition's - U Send Me Swingin'" at 12:00. Great rendition!
Also, that "It feels like Summer" was killing Good!
No I enjoyed it. We all did. U Send Me Swingin by Mint Condition was arranged by Aaron Britt Jr. A Spartan Legion Band member.
I’m a huge Mint Condition fan
I enjoyed both bands but I give W to NCAT!!!! But I give the entrance into the arena to the Spartans.
I got 5 on it...ayyyy
Big ups to both bands for their HARD 💪 work and dedication. Takes me back to my time when all was right in the world, all I had to do was get good grades, memorize music and high step. Keep doing the thang 'til you can't anymore.
Both killed it but it was the green and gold for me NSU. Fire and ice, the flags, and drum line! Shoutout to VA!
Those flags were so PRETTY and together. I love seeing good color guard teams. Makes me miss it so much.
I'm so in love with both teams but the spartian's drumline was lit
Yea not to many can hang with their drumline
NCAT & Golden Delights takes it!❤❤
The BGMM for the Win. Omg, Golden Delights just never cease to amaze me. That SWV feature was VERY good. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow 😲..... Incredible to watch for a neutral body. Love from Nigeria
This was very entertaining. I just heard about both bands last year, and they continue to impress me. 😍😍😍
Everyone's a WINNER! I love my HBCUs!💕💜💕💜
I think what sets A&T apart from any other band is the golden delights they always know how to put on a show and the crowd hyped
The Golden Delights are always a pleaser!
They did okay. But they did not hype the krowd. Neither dance line hyped the krowd. I was there. What sets GD apart from others is they are a Jill of all Trades, dancers/ flag/ majorettes rolled into one unit. Mostly Aggies appreciate that. i don't hear many other fans raving over that.
Golden Delight always on point. The best out here and the SU Dolls!!!
I was looking for Nick Cannon
NCAT gets the dub in my opinion, but my goshhhh Norfolk flags hittt!!
That damn Golden Delight routine 🔥🔥🔥🔥Aggies for the W...
nsu thru everything at ncat….the cheerleaders, mascot, flags, the Q with the child on his back, home court, the girl or guy with the yellow head scarf, the little girl that was trying to give pointers to the silkketts as well as the little boy with all the energy. I love nsu,( my 2nd fav) but they got slayed this night. we want even talk about the football game the following day,
Slayed? Stop cappin bro!😂😂😂💯
Yeah they did.
And didn’t....🙄
@@michaelgraves7718 ncat slayed all night long all night yeah all night long. 🤗
Lol
Honestly I really like the first teams flag performance better and the song that it was paired with match perfectly. Both teams did good.
Renee You keep me swinging by Mint Condition.
Renee I agree
Both did good. However, A&T & Golden Delight is the difference! Golden Delight is the epitome of a full HBCU auxiliary. That does it all!
NSU did the damn thing. Go NSU!!!!!
a&t won i was there
@@terrydarden5369 😂😂 tf that mean?
@@xaviermarks631 that they won lmaoo because they did 😭
Norfolk percussion is a beast ... they did the dang thang !
I think NSU took this one based on the technicality of their routine. Both teams did great and I loved the flags that A&T used I just think that NSU stuck to tradition more and that’s what I like. Great job to the student for all their hard work
Agreed. Ncat flag selection was a bit messy in the beginning. It was entertaining but wasnt clean
Clearly A&T for the W.
Omg these were amazing performances. NCA&T nailed the showmanship. NSU's precision and techniques are incredible! Their drumline is the reason why I went to a HBCU 👏🏾❤️👍🏾
Nsu is one year away from being that band ppl used to fear going up against the trumpets need to step their game up but im glad they're getting back to where they was
I like the band in yellow. They outdid the home team to me, given the home team had home advantage.
A&T--- You ALREADY Know!!!
Loved The Flags!! I Wish They Showed More Of Them All The Time.
NSU Feels like summer 😍😩😍😩😍😩😍😩💯💯💯💯
AshiaDoesHair FR❗️
Yesss they kilt that shit
Not even gonna lie I had to run the swv part back...2x 🔥🔥🔥
That Mint Condition - You Send Me Swinging was awesome!
NCAT all the way this entire weekend.
People stay kissing A&T ass bruh, Norfolk State was blowing! But I ain’t gon A&T had some good music selections
KeeKee Flowe it’s not kissing ass it’s just stating what we saw and heard,they were way cleaner and the song selections were entertaining/attention grabbers
Maybe that's because people have ears & eyesight. To see that A&T was the better band. Not to mention, more popular outside of their state line!
Norfolk drumline dropped the sticks lmao
Way cleaner? In what world? Lol, I give A&T a few good song selections but overall NSU got that. 🤷♂️ MDFS dropped a stick and still ate...straight beast mode. You don’t know percussion if you think otherwise 💯
A & T is just a well know school but Norfolk came to play but both bands sound really good
Gotta give it to NCAT & those Golden Delights!!. I love to see them perform. Was hoping to see more uniform changes. Nevertheless I was pleased. Keep doing Aggies 👏👏👏
Great show by both bands. A&T kontinues to get better. NSU is always on next level musicianship! There sound is unmatched!
AGGIES ALL DAY!
Feels like summer by NSU was the best song of the night.
I went back and listened to the opening tunes for both bands and Norfolk was louder more full and more balanced. However I loved A&T's opening. Woke Everybody UP. Good. Job BGMM and SPARTAN LEGION.
Hands down...NSU!!!
At some point I forgot this is a band brawl😂Golden delight had me entranced bruh I had to keep rewinding
Golden Delight would do that to you😂😂😂
Those damn Golden Delights is always breath taking
That transition to Rain from Weak 🥰😍
Aerosmith and Nirvana selections were dope!
Golden delight showed tf out ✨
I love the Golden Delights 🥰🥰🥰
They sure did!
@@vivianluppee4479 Me too. The Golden Delights are amazing to me. Their unique style is what I love most about them.
Didnt Bama State Stingettes do a similar routine to Beat It in 2009...I'm asking because I was Tuba Section Leader that year.
@@Liberation822 Everybody have just about done a MJ beat it or thriller routine from the video. So🤷♀️
GD slayed like always. Everyone did well. I honestly dont feel one band was better than the other. They each had their moments. I will say NSU ,this is thee best yall have sounded in a looooong time. Yall flags are probably the best and most precise in all of HBCU. GD is a totally auxiliary so excluding them of course. Good job. But these new so called "brawls" cant hold a candle to the ones from back in the mid 2000s. Hunty!!
Golden Delight is in a league of their own. Nobody can touch those girls!
@@sharonbee2626 Golden Delight, Dolls, Stingettes, & Jsettes are all in a league of their own. GD is just the full total package.
@@Anonymous-mv7eo The Dolls and Golden Delight are the best in the SWAC & MEAC!
@@sharonbee2626 You better PREACH!!!
The 2000 battle were off the hook. My favorite is 2005 and 2008.
NCAT & those Golden Delights gets the W👍👍
GOLDEN DELIGHT ROUTINE WAS ON POINT...GOOOO OFFFF GD!!!
-----------________________------------
Yesssssssssssssss
Yesssssss.
A&T for the W. Golden Delight are GEMS!!!! They never disappoints 👏👏👏
I, love both band they did their thing. NC A&T is my fav...Aggie all day. VSU,good job👀👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
😂😂😂😂
Little state i mean vsu don’t even compare to the worse of the worse... so don’t try to play
where do you see vsu in this video NSU is crunching vsu anyday so never try the again.
@@highqutv880 meant NSU...shit..😂😂😂💣i smoke weed shit...sorry y'all 👍🏾👏🏾
@@highqutv880 funny thing I was there...lol😂😂😂👍🏾
There were some good moments from both bands, NSU had home crowd advantage, but I give A&T the win...more entertaining and better song selections. Good battle...
That swv mix did it for me 🔥🔥🔥 yes ncat🙌🏾
Drumline was dope. They put on a show. The rhythms. They throwing 🥁's and flipping. It was great.
Both bands were really good. A&T gets the win with better arrangements and execution! Mad props to NSU on that spirit mix.
I’m Represent my state until the day I die. NCA&T baby!!!
Spartan Legion is back. Was a member in 1982-84 playing Trumpet. Screaming Demons!
I’m so glad they brought back Children of Sanchez!
I could be wrong.... But Norfolk looks like they're in their own building.... Why wouldn't you set up you chairs and seating so that it looks best for your band??? Look at the tuba seats
He was playing like he still had the stick.... That was some Spartan isshhh💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Legion wins overall, both bands did well and should be proud of their effort.
OMG Those Aggie Trumpets!!!! Beautiful!
I think both bads are very good!! Need to hear more from each one. I am trying to figure out why NCAT doesn't do their line dance strut anymore. It is really good. I got 5 on it was good. I also loved SWV, Aerosmith, and Nirvana. The other team did mint condition...whew chile.
Norfolks tenors set the bar, damn they were good.
16:16 is SWV - Weak with a smooth transition to SWV - Rain at 17:41 . Took me a good hour to search for it, but totally worth it!
YOU send me swingin”, Spartans. wow....I am in love w/ya. BLACK EXCELLENCE!!!!!.....no, EXCELLENCE period.
NSU for the Win, it was a tough call but both bands did extremely well. I can honestly say that NCAT is making me a fan of them
I enjoyed both bands...good job Spartans!!!
NC A&T Wins this one. I like the NSU band also, but Golden Delight is so entertaining and brings out the music being played by the band so well. Great job by both bands, but I'm going with NC A&T. I would like to see both bands at the Honda Battle of The Bands .
I would hate to be a judge. Both were really good. I like both bands.
Spartan Legion gets the overall W...A&T was some fire too tho; i was shocked
I'm sorry, NCAT won! But they were both so good!
P.S. The tall girl on the Dancing Delights is so pretty and I love that she wears her natural hair.
Both were good but the band in green and gold was the best! They killed it! All the best to them !
NCAT and Golden Delight took it. Hands down
Yesssssss Golden Delight. They showed their ass, 😩😩😩😩especially on that twirling feature. The dance feature was cute. But it was nothing compared to their normal field routines. Yes A&T. They took this battle! 👍
That "Feels Like Summer" 🔥
Yellow team won over all and the Black team won the drum line.

I wish people would understand that. It’s about entertainment. That army shit NSU keep doing is boring. Grow up and out of that shit. I would not send my son or daughter there to make them feel like they in the Army.
It was a good close battle buttt I’ll give it to NC A&T just because they had the edge on entertainment to me both bands did a good job though
Band sound wise - AnT
Girl dancing wise - AnT
Flag wise - Spartans
Drum line - Spartans
Appearance and choreography - Spartans
I’m so hood by *NSU though
Brannon Furlow Me 2.....in love for sure.
7:53 what's the song after NCATs "Children of Sanchez"?
A&T : I GOT FIVE ON IT 💪🏾💪🏾 NORFOLK: IM SO HOOD /MURDER ON MY MIND 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 BOTH HAD REAL POWERFUL INTROS.
The Mint Condition song was perfection!
StephBrilliant beautiful, wasn’t it? I keep listening to it over and over
Oh, yes it was
Flag features were my favorite parts
Flag control was amazinggg
I never understood this and I went to Howard university . In Puerto Rico we don’t have this. But watching this I have a lot of respect to them
NCA&T and Golden Delight for the Win!!! NSU has improved but had too much going on especially during the mix. Hot Ice dancing, Silkettes, the Male guard and cheerleaders dancing as well. Just leave all the dancing to Hot Ice, 🤷🏿♀️
Both bands brought their A game. I give the slight edge to A&T. Great showing from both bands. The crowd gets the real W for being given such a great show.
That drum line OMG!
Man Golden Delight's flag routine was absolutely amazing!!! Those flags moved liked water or something.
Both bands were awesome, but I thought NCAT had a better dance team and Norfolk the best percussion (Million Dollar Funk Squad!). So idk...they both rocked, honestly...couldn't take my eyes off of either groups!
