This is my first time watching video on either marching band.. watching the culture of both bands I sincerely enjoyed.. I'm glad you traveled to VA.. and thanks for the upload..
Great battle. One of the better ones I've seen. Here's my assessment. Drum majors-VUU. Auxillary-VSU. Ensembles-VSU, Drums-tie. VSU tried the little boy gimmick ... Lol. Overall band-VSU. VSU basically overpowered a smaller band. VUU had great sound but not enough players to get that big band sound. You could hear the holes in VUU arrangements. VSU overplayed at times.
Both dance lines were not entertaining, but if I had to choose a winner, I'll have to give it to VUU.. it might've just been 4 of them but they were more cohesive and had more energy than VSU.
TJ you’re truly said bruh. What school school did you march for? We all have our opinions on things but is it really necessary to come up here and spread negative energy. Like my things is that VSU always catch wave. These kids have as much heart as any other band. If you like VSU is plain and simple don’t watch the videos. Where’s the HBCU love. Plus VSU did there thing.
Matthew Macanhay This is not VSU’s first year playing “I’m So Hood”.... stop it. Bands bring back songs every year!... & who gave Norfolk ownership rights to “I’m so hood”?....🤔🤔🤔... Come on bro, y’all gotta stop this entitlement nonsense!... Let’s be serious... Plenty bands have played that song including VSU & NSU... We, VSU, only look at anything NSU from a standpoint of admiration, because it’s great to see the school that we birthed grow & become what it is today!.... Continue to be great my brother!...
VSU don’t get bullied by the legion. The legion is very humbled until provoked. VSU came to nsu plenty of times with the disrespectful ass gimmicks. VSU tries TOO hard.... that’s why I don’t respect their band program at all. Calling the trumpets retarded back in 2016. That fight they started in 2017... they just do too damn much 🙄
Maya’s Life on top of what exactly I’m confused 😂😂😂 that’s why I don’t respect vsu because y’all delusional af. Y’all really think y’all sound good 😂😂🤦🏾♀️ it’s sad. Like really sad.
VSU’s percussion section mostly sounds good but seems way too loud at times. This is a small band. They back there going HAM but covering up the horns. Then the band overall needs to work on phrasing man damn. Chief that ain’t it. A lot of stuff sounded choppy when it shouldn’t have. That fanfare could be soooo much better if everyone wasn’t breathing at the same time trying to blast. Y’all sound like you are focusing a lot on volume and projecting than the fundamentals and it sounds obvious. Trying to blow like the big SWAC/Meac bands without certain instrumentation keeps you having that sound that’s a little immature.
Man what was he point of the drum set? Buddy didn't do no real chops. He was very basic. I was waiting to be wowed, but nothing. Hell an 8 count solo would have really set it off. Other than that both bands did well. I wonder what they would look like with numbers?
CT I Definitely agree with you, our drum instructor E wanted me to make sure that the block cadence was in tempo and solidified for them. I wasn’t worried about having a bunch of fills in the piece. As long as people was grooving to our music, I couldn’t cared less about having massive fills
Adonis Frost whether I’m in the closet or out the closet that doesn’t take away from the fact that vsu is some trash 😂😂😂🤷🏾♀️ regardless of what you say THEY ARE AND WILL FOREVER BE TRASH!!!! PERIOD.

2nd band has a lot of potential, just need to clean it up.
VSU's majorettes were so entertaining to watch both in their feature and in their "stands" routines.
I’m honestly proud of Essence Of Troy & The Twirlers. WAAAAAYYYY better than last years battle👏🏼 pls keep that up. idk what that last year was about.
VSU Majorettes were on point💯💯💯💯!!!

People are talking about the size and size really dosent matter its all about how they sound
VSU SWITCHED TO UPRIGHTS!?!?
Good, The Multi Toms are blending with the Leg Tenors that you couldnt hear them with the Tonals.
VSU cant be fucked with Union!
I LOVE MY VSU 🧡💙
Yes BATONS! Y’all was turnt
Yea vsu trumpets ....
What was the name of the third fanfare VSU tbone and btone played? After pure imagination
We couldve
Why VUU got more flag girls than dancers 🤔. Did VUU cut their band in half or something or is that everyone?
I dont think thats everyone plus they not a big band they school not big either
They tried to copy VSU on a cadence
I’m so hood ?! 🤨🤨....lol
Dos Equis 😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Union tried it!!
Why the damn vsu tenors (sextets) playing so hard?? Like they trynna break the drums. Shame...
Well might be because they were hype I guess. Maybe the intensity kicked in. Who knows...
Or might be we were always taught play through the drum...🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Robert Williams that’s not playing through the drums sir. Just like overblowing isn’t the same as fortissimo...
Just wondering, When did VSU start sitting down with the sound of the Tonels? I thought that was a NSU thing? Again just asking!
SAX-MATIC98 !!
“Sitting down with the sound of the tonels?” What does that mean?
@@1971phenom lls When they hit each tonal to sit down..lol I'm sure im wording it wrong, but I've only seen NSU do it.
Both dance lines were not entertaining, but if I had to choose a winner, I'll have to give it to VUU.. it might've just been 4 of them but they were more cohesive and had more energy than VSU.
Norfolk fans are always so delusional and narcissistic 😂 VSU y’all killed this battle ! Proud to be a Trojan 🔷🔶
Legend8ry Productions Whatever you gotta tell yourself because this here was not good but okay 😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Y’all Norfolk don’t own nothing vsu can do whatever they want it’s there home one and two because nobody owns anything
You’re triggered 😂
Matthew Macanhay absolutely 😂😂😂🤷🏾♀️
@@matthewmacanhay7720 facts 😆
I’m honestly speechless 😂😂😂 not in a good way either
good that means you'll finally stfu. VSU is the best. Norfolk is wack af
TJ wym??? People always got something to say
Adonis Frost vsu is no where the best of anything. It’s been proven many times. So please come back to reality thank you 😂😂😂
James Grant IV I was really talking about VUU but I can redirect my energy to vsu if that’s what y’all want..

Man stop. You know what’s up. This spirit mix has Norfolk written all over it. I hate when y’all act like this.
I agree. That I’m so hood is Norfolk like. I’m not from Norfolk but I’m not deaf either. That’s a legion staple.
Why wouldn’t they wanna copy greatness 🤷🏾♀️
Come to vsu where we get bullied by Norfolk so we found a band smaller than us to bully. 😂
Matthew Macanhay nahhh VSU always on top no matter what

@@tyaja2009 no Norfolk always want smoke so vsu fires back harder
Adonis Frost vsu isn’t even in the same category as the legion. Even on their worse day vsu do not compare to them. Get that in your peanut size head.
Who won it cause I left early
Both these bands need work and v state is overly excited about playing loud. Yuck.
James Holthoff No sir, I was there and the sound was balanced.
Exactly 🤦🏾♀️

JOEY T SPENCER it’s was supposed to be a gogo feel😑
@@kvngkristv1327 that wasn't even gogo. Hell gogo got solos.
JOEY T SPENCER it wasnt about a solo its all about pocket sir lol you people find anything to talk about

Wait that I’m soo hood sounds horrible put that back in the closet because that’s not it.... 😂😂

VUU Flags were better💯💯💯
