Man I can't believe I'm still watching this clip in 2021.... that 2009 legion was on one, no hbcu could f with em pound for pound...... no not even su...... smmfh.
I wish we could get a decent sized alumni band together. I really want to have a botb of us vs the current legion. If we could get 100 instruments from 1998 to 04, we would crank
Up until 2010 no meac band except a&t could touch us (the legion) And they had to be on 100%. We were Golden State. And every band that came close counted it as a win.
i like this battle because scsu didnt let nsu push them around even tho nsu played espn back at them(louder)....scsu didnt stop playing........GOOD JOB SCSU!!!
@Illculture they played their 'Can You Feel It' fanfare... sounded good honestly ... the battle was SUPPOSED to be over but just as the DM's were going to call off Behold and have us leave they started trying to play... and we wont havin dat... you DONT interrupt Behold... plain and simple.
I trying to remember what SCSU played to start all this. I know NSU was about to leave, but they stopped cause SCSU asked for more. But I can remember what they played. Any help?
Wow I see hate. As far as ESPN goes, the 101 should not have played it back, or at all in the setting to me but Legion wins on arrangment. The legion has always been in love with musicality before power. BUT NOW THEY DO BOTH WELLL!!!!! The 101 are no slums by far. This is just a clip people. One Clip.
NSU was like “Y’all done? We’ll pick up where y’all left off” 😂😂😂
been coming back to this video for over a decade
This was one of the best battles Ive EVER been too. So much intensity. Much respect to both schools.
marching 101 alum
There isn't no coming back after NSU slayed them!
I would have retired my horn after NSU hit playback! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed
NO BAND plays “Dirty Diana” better than NSU LEGION 😮💨
I really miss these gym battles
Nsu Went Crazy💯💯
at 2:57 NSU sez: I'll pick up YOUR song and PUNCH you in the FaCe with it!
Did you hear that "Word Up" by the Euphoniums in ESPN?? That counter-melody is crazy. NSU smashed they azz.
I like seeing videos of the old MEAC bands they used to be a real beast.
that's when nsu was the shit
yep!!
Brooooo!
I'M IN LOVE WITH STATE BUT I'M SORRY NSU KILLED IT
lol i still laugh at the camera man... "Whoohoohoo! ... *pans to SCSU* What YA'LL got??"
Man I can't believe I'm still watching this clip in 2021.... that 2009 legion was on one, no hbcu could f with em pound for pound...... no not even su...... smmfh.
I MISS 09 BAND!!!!! COME BACK NSU 09 !!!!
lmao the fact that The Legion finished SCSU's sentence is TOO funny...i am a proud retired Legion Member
SCSU needed to retire after this gym battle.🤣😂
You gotta go with the Legion on this one. They been crankin on everyone this year.
Norfolk you have the best ESPN of all HBCU bands. Keep it comin NSU!
Nope
@@deneciaolawumi2159Yes
NSU...you know you wrong for that...
As much as I like SCSU, NSU went HAM on dat ass!!!!!!
I wish we could get a decent sized alumni band together. I really want to have a botb of us vs the current legion. If we could get 100 instruments from 1998 to 04, we would crank
I’m down
Edit: sounds like it's possible in 2024
Definitely in 2024
Up until 2010 no meac band except a&t could touch us (the legion) And they had to be on 100%. We were Golden State. And every band that came close counted it as a win.
The stories people tell their children...
NSU KILLES IT EVRY TIME!!!! DEY DOES HARD!!!!
nsu cranked on sucs i mean scsu
nsu majorettes shook it too espically on espn
NSU dem Tubas came in strong
and we were blowin like this like 2 hours into the battle. SCSU couldn't hang with us.
I think I woulda jizzed my pants had I been there in person. NSU gave it to them, hands down
Both bands were Brilliant tho' #musicianship #hbcu
Two Songs You NEVER play in a Battle with the Spartan Legion: Dirty Diana and ESPN...
It's a shame what they did to that Dawg... #SMH
i like this battle because scsu didnt let nsu push them around even tho nsu played espn back at them(louder)....scsu didnt stop playing........GOOD JOB SCSU!!!
they sound so good..!
3:49 band director had me weak "get cho ass down" lol
NSU Got this one.
Hell Yah yah seet NSU mi seh!!!
@GB19791 That's probably because NSU BD and music arranger are grads of SU.
I pretty sure they wanted to be hire at Norfolk state Dr. Fears build a very good program there
maaaaaaaaaaaaan i miss this!
I marched for Hampton in the late 80's when Hampton feared no one. I am not even gonna front. NSU stomped a mud hole in SC State.
SCSU playing ESPN to Norfolk was a mistake ....Period... they have one of the best versions in my opinion... Live and Lean SCSU lol
I think Miles dirty Diana is still the truth
Really? ESPN? We played that in SEVENTH GRADE!
I love all the boo's at the end for SCSU. NSU murdered them
LOL at the end it looked like the BD went up to the drum major and said get da hell off dat ladder...
look at SCSU's band director talkin to the drum major at the very end. he was like "get yo ass down now. you just made us look bad"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE MY HBCU
daaaaamn that dirty diana was freakin crazy !
This shit went HARD...IM JUMPIN UP N DOWN N MY SEAT LIKE DAYUM...lmmfao
#slaugther Win goes to NSU

I trying to remember what SCSU played to start all this. I know NSU was about to leave, but they stopped cause SCSU asked for more. But I can remember what they played.
Any help?

Wow I see hate. As far as ESPN goes, the 101 should not have played it back, or at all in the setting to me but Legion wins on arrangment. The legion has always been in love with musicality before power. BUT NOW THEY DO BOTH WELLL!!!!! The 101 are no slums by far. This is just a clip people. One Clip.
