- The NSU Spartan Legion Marching Band from Norfolk, Virginia at the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA.

NSU is the first band I’ve seen stop and do a full routine/performance at the Rose Parade. I think that was a great idea to fully showcase the band. I wonder if this was planned or spur of the moment thing? Good job regardless Legion!
They were chosen to do the grandstand performance while the live performer was televised around the corner.
Floats kept having problems turning the corner and held up traffic.
I was just thinking that. They did an amazing job!
NSU and the Band from Mexico got extra airtime. Good for both of them! Unfortunately though poor Fresno State didn’t get in time to be televised as they missed their airtime window, they were the very last entry.
So if you look at the video you'll notice a white Clad gentlemen coming from the right side down low and walking towards the African American band director in the lower right hand corner of the screen. That gentleman is a volunteer who is in charge of the pace of the parade in that general area. He has now come up and told the band director that they're going to be here for a few minutes and that they're more than welcome to play. If you'll notice the band director he puts his arm around the volunteer and a loving gesture realizing he has just been given the opportunity of a lifetime. To have his band perform in front of television. Also you'll notice moments before that happens the drum majors are already moving into position. The band does a fabulous job of pivoting into a concert position and performs admirably in front of the audience. The only reason why this happens is the terminal roses volunteer allows it to happen and because around the corner on Orange Grove there's a national production going on that's taking up all the television time and so the parade can't go anywhere until that gets over so benefit to the band.
The Best Band in the parade!!!!!
My family's been a part of the Rose Parade since 1938. I have sat on that corner for some 18 years of my life. I have watched this parade almost every year and I've never seen a band do that fabulous of a performence. Hats off and spectacular use of the time and space. Kudos to the band director and the tournament for making it happen.
That is an awesome compliment.
Wow what an awesome compliment.
Yeah, the best compliment ever coming from somebody who would know…AND he said “ALL” bands including SWAC, MEAC, ACC, PAC-12, BIG TEN, etc….HBCU or PWI….ALLLL!!!!
I bet you've seen 1oo bands
Damn they went the hell off!!! All that money you raise to go, you are supposed to do this! Top notch music selection
I've been so focused on the SWAC bands that I forgot about Norfolk! Legion, y'all gave me CHILLS!!!! and Hot Ice, beyond amazing! I love our culture. Spartan Legion has ALWAYS been one of the top performing bands. The musicality is always spot on.
Showing out! What a way to represent the MEAC! HCBU love
This folks SHOWED OUT!! I was rocking with them in Alabama and it brought tears to my eyes..."But before I let go"...a big shout out to NSU MARCHING LEGION!!
The Spartan Band has definitely earned its respected high caliber status. 💎💎💎💎💎 This is actually only one example of the beauty of ALL HBCU Bands being highly talented and entertaining SHOW BANDS!!!
Would love to see you all come back to Pasadena in less than four years. Everything you all did here in Cali was beyond amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏. You definitely left your mark and some very tough shoes to fill for other HBCU bands to follow.
I was here live. Incredible! Way to take advantage of your moment. We loved it. Incredible talent! Take a bow

It's a crime that this video is only 480p. 8K in 2024. 8-K!
Killa Mike got the joint shit but a least the tried ✊🏿🔥🔥💯
Are u kidding me?!? Camera man is HORRIBLE!!! ALL ZOOMED IN! We can't even see the band! Who the heck was filming this?!??
Band was so awesome. Come here to watch it and only a quarter of it can be seen. Omg...!
This is the only band that put on a show!
The “cameraman” is a spectator who was gracious enough to share the footage he captured at the parade. You should be thanking him. If you want to be upset at someone, be upset that an actual cameraman who was paid to film the parade didn’t give you the type of footage you’re seeking.
@@itsmecandice7555 this was the channel 5 band cam..
Not a mere spectator. It's called a band cam..so you expect it to get the entire band. It's a fair expectation.
There are a lot of videos out there with better coverage of them at this point, on UA-cam.
Maybe you should have recorded it.😃
