Honestly the most complete MERGE iVe heard so far and Ive heard a few of them, Sound - Over all color, tone, depth, execution, consistency was awesome! I would have liked to hear some different arrnagemrnts then last year in the beginning, but honestly, the arrangers did such an amazing job highlighting each sections strength 💪 that I could careless if that they ran it back, because of how well they executed, the show was entertaining, the crowd was into it, great work. Now I need to hear them outside as you know, those gyms be inflating or deflating the sound. But NICE WORK here NSU! 👏 My top Merge so far. As far as sound and entertainment. #Straightup
BY VIRGINIA’S GOLDEN SHORES THERE’S A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE THAT’S 2nd to NONE. THEE NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY MARCHING SPARTAN LEGION BAND. BEHOLD BEHOLD THE MIGHTY GREEN AND GOLD! 2023-2024 The year of “THE LEGION”!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
At least two of these have traded in Musical for entertaining and exciting. I don’t watch NSU to know all 3, but nobody is talking about FAMU and BCU in the SWAC.
I hope they're coming with fiyah .. because we the people are ready for another level of the Legion 😤 .. I got a feeling they'll trade with Southern this year and Ghetto life won't cut it lol
Agree…bring back “Shaft”….this version of “TDL”, THE DAMN LEGION (need to create a tee-shirt with that saying) would kill that song…also bring back “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now”, one of my all time favorites!!!❤❤❤
Well, coming from SCSU Bongo Brothers, I have to say that the Spartans are a band that not to be messed with even for Southern University. They are number one in my book😂😂😂
Gonna be interesting in Houston this coming weekend. I think the Human Jukebox will be in attendance, so we'll have an opportunity at that comparison you bring up here. This is a very good band. I truly enjoyed this entire video.
Love NSU...yu can truly see the growth. This might be the "when they get their numbers up, it will be over" NSU, lol. They sound really good. Balanced with the right amount of volume.
is that the old school version of Neck that I hear??? 👀👀👀 I always preferred it slower and in the pocket. Love it! Seems like it was sped up every year
N.D.? The boom don’t some ready, we stay ready for any event or occasion! On your best day, your tired band will never, never,ever ever, , stay or compete on our lever!! Now play with it!
@@keithyounger9397Funny thing is, when the Legion took the same field as the Boom at the QCBOTB, NOBODY spoke of their show. It was drier than Popeyes biscuits 🤣. And I like the Boom, but you reaching fam.
The biggest battle of the bands this football season will be Sept.30th weekend when N.C. A&T plays at Norfolk State. It will be a true battle...........💙💛 vs 💚💛
ABSOLUTELY!!! From what I hear, there will be an old fashion gym battle the night before the game…if so, it’s going to be crazeeee…you know A&T is coming for blood after last year 😅😅😅….and, they are heading to the 2024 Rose Parade so you know they want to show off😀😀😀
This has been said the last couple of years and it was not very entertaining. It was ok but for the hype it was a no. Now back in 2018 with the gym battle plus 5th quarter, that was lite and nsu ate and showed that their book is deep.
Them in the SWAC wood Chalenge the culture Instead of recruting for numbers but for true Talent Like Dr. Simmons and his Group is doing @ TxSU Changeing the Culture their in Houston. Quality now size later
So you really think they going to expose to you their brand new material at a family/friends gathering a week before they have a band battle in Houston?? Lol Just wait... lol
@@legionnaire2U Naw but it doesn't have to be what is expected year after. Especially after watching other bands who have heavy fb seasons and still giving something fresh to their fans
@@southernjags101if yall the best why do you keep coming on here criticizing. Greatness doesn't have to speak a word.😂 scared NSU is going to shut a lot of yall mouths.
The band is awesome. However, it is difficult to see their actual performance. The dancers are too aggressive; too much of a takeaway. It would be better if each of them would play and instrument. Where is the Flag Corp.? Oh, there they are. Excellent!!
What’s an HBC ? You’re a troll 🤣 No one is taking you seriously. If THAT was your “overall synopsis” of the Legion, why did you even click the video ? 🤣
This band doesn't get ALL of its things. They're a chef's kiss. They're one of the bands I'm satisfied with just listening to them.
Crisps, clean and on point. Looking good Legion!!!😎💪

Bethune Cookman
FAMU
Norfolk State
These bands are ALWAYS musical.
I'm looking forward to seeing two of those bands in person for the first time in my life in Houston.
At least two of these have traded in Musical for entertaining and exciting. I don’t watch NSU to know all 3, but nobody is talking about FAMU and BCU in the SWAC.
💚💛BEHOLD 2023 NSU Spartan Legion 💚💛
And also lets get into Hot Ice. They have evolved immensely.

I know y’all STAY cooking !! But hey, they all don’t have to be fresh….bring back “SHAFT” 👀💪🏾 This Legion would MURK it ! 🔥
Yes bring back Shaft
Agree…bring back “Shaft”….this version of “TDL”, THE DAMN LEGION (need to create a tee-shirt with that saying) would kill that song…also bring back “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now”, one of my all time favorites!!!❤❤❤

I've been watching the numbers steadily rise since like 2012. This year they look great.
@@ivanhouston12I agree

@@legionnaire2U Naw but it doesn't have to be what is expected year after. Especially after watching other bands who have heavy fb seasons and still giving something fresh to their fans
@@AKINGSKYDand some times we keep the same song on replay to long
@@toreyakers6553 I feel you...
Not bad, if you want that little above average MEAC blow 😆😆😆.... Definitely not ready for them Jukes!
Clearly they are not ready for any SWAC level bands lol
And yet they outperform EVERY swac band when they meet up with them😂😂😂….
@troystrong8041 And yet, nobody, INCLUDING the SWAC talks about you guys 😅😅😅😅. Just get ready to take that easy L from the Jukes in Houston 😂😂😂
Good luck Saturday 😂😂
@@southernjags101if yall the best why do you keep coming on here criticizing. Greatness doesn't have to speak a word.😂 scared NSU is going to shut a lot of yall mouths.
The band is awesome. However, it is difficult to see their actual performance. The dancers are too aggressive; too much of a takeaway. It would be better if each of them would play and instrument. Where is the Flag Corp.? Oh, there they are. Excellent!!
Then they wouldn’t be dancers 🤔
Too aggressive…this is very tame compared to other dance teams
Huh?? 🤔🤣
@@legionnaire2U I guess she wants them to dance like LSU golden girls 😂
@@TomazHilton Stiff robots! 🤣
Get ready to be behold and bored to death with your P.W.I. Wanna be H.B.C.? Band!You making a lot of noise, but yeah ain’t playing nothing!!!
What makes this like a PWI?
@@DerikWright what's the name of that tune they played right before behold ??
@@str84wdcalling by metro boomin and A boogie
What’s an HBC ? You’re a troll 🤣 No one is taking you seriously. If THAT was your “overall synopsis” of the Legion, why did you even click the video ? 🤣
That's your opinion and you are welcome to it. In my book, they play MUSIC, not beats.
