Non-band people will never truly know How HARD the band WORKS & never disappoints! I'm a huge band fan!!!!! 2 kids who play 3 instruments & 1 does color guard as well. Nothing in high school prepares students for real life better than BAND: self discipline, building each day on what you learned the day b4, learning to do pass-offs in front of your peers, having the mental strength to audition for solos, your spot in band camps, for concert season, for special ensembles etc. And also not cowering when challenged for your chair in concert season! Teaches the value of hard work and being a band family & getting along with others. Band in college is great! It gives your child a band family away from home instantly! This drumline sounds great! Listening on loop!
Great analogy! Non band member but attended TSU when it was an all black college and the Band was why I went to the football games. AWESOME DISCIPLINE AND DEDICATION TO THE CRAFT, EACH OTHER AND THE FANS!!!❤
Absolutely on point! I played snare drums in my junior high band (don't get it twisted, we were bad as hell), that's when they actually HAD extracurricular activities to help kids learn other important life skills. I also played in other marching bands outside of school. Schools really need to bring these activities back. When your home or at school or practicing with your peers to be the best, so you can represent, when you're engaged with postive activities there's no time to run these streets! You want to be sharp as hell and do your part to make 10 sound like one! Practicing will make that happen!
White schools are using these videos to co-opted what we created. Schools around the world are using these videos as teaching tools. We are so stupid😢 Stop giving our genius away!!!
I live in the neighborhood that's about a 10-minute walk from NSU. And when I tell you that these babies practice and practice and practice well into the evening it could be 10:30 at night and they practicing!! Please give these babies their flowers! Because as much as I love them and I want them to succeed they be driving me nuts!!😂❤❤😂❤😂😂
It does does sound good but you obviously have seen many bands. You want to base everything souly because it's an HBCU and nothing else. It could sounds like shit and you'd still being talking it up because it's HBCU. I'm sure naturally you think I'm a racist because I'm pointing out color but I'm not at all. I just hate when that your judgment is strictly based on race. Because I bet you wouldn't be calling it tight if those were white drummers. Like I said it sounds good, but it's far from great. That's just what it is.
This band has been elite and top tier for the past 50 years so glad to see them keeping Emery Fears dedication to excellence alive makes me proud to be a Spartan LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!!💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾🙌🏾👐🏾☝🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
As a "Non-band" person, I thoroughly enjoy listening to them. I appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to accomplish these skills. This is fantastic!❤from NJ
I'm from Newark, NJ. My son just graduated from this school & played in the band. Excellence is not an option! He graduated Cume Laude with a degree in Biology btw.
BEHOLD! I marched in the Spartan Legion and it is with great pleasure I want to further blow your minds by telling you this is the alumni and current drumline in the video. This was homecoming if im not mistaken which is why everyone is not in marching uniform
I figured that might be the case and was scrolling through comments looking for someone to confirm! Super impressive to still be that tight even not having practiced together in years (one assumes)!
I used to work on the 5th floor of the University of Mississippi Med Ctr. Across the street was the Jackson State University stadium. Every year during the Battle of the Bands, we could feel…not HEAR but FEEL the bands, esp the drum lines. It was spectacular. We would go outside and listen to them and it rattled in our chests.
Maannnn i swear Norfolk State has had the most CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED unit in the country, HBCU or otherwise, for YEARS. Glad to see the green and gold get their much-deserved shine!
I miss marching band. In 1977, I was the only girl in the drum line. When I was choosing an instrument to play early on, my father told me that girls don’t play drums, so I chose drums. In my sophomore year, my father told me I couldn’t play quads, because I was small, so I played quads. I’m forever grateful that he didn’t tell me that girls can’t leap off roofs and fly.
Christmas of 1966 and this drum kine of young fellas not even teen ages and they were drumming and marching down the steps of the capital monuments been hooked on drumlines ever since😊

I agree. Bandie since Junior High plus majorette. My Alma mater doesn't even have a band right now. I'm devastated 😢
