    Wow ...this takes me back. This was my second year as Drum major at Morris Brown. I can vividly remember NSU's cheerleaders meeting me at the bus with 1 dozen yellow roses and 1 dozen sun flowers. It was all love and respect! Long live HBCU'S!!!!

    This was by far the best battle I've been to. No one knew who Morris Brown was when they got there. There was so much respect for them when they left. I'm glad someone digitized this for the masses. Can't replace the live though.

      25:27 the moment NSU fans realized Morris Brown was for real. 26:31 is where we turned to each other and said "shit just got real. "
      Bonus: Also there was a buff dude in the crowd singing to a chick loud as hell. That's what the crowd was really reaction to. He was standing on the chair, climbing over people and shit.

    This was one of my top 3 moments marching with MBC (00-02). Norfolk State was AMAZING and I'm still a fan to this day. Their entrance, their performance, their sectionals, music arrangements, and musicianship. All top notch. NOT to take ANYTHING away from NSU... I want people to know that we were not used to that format. My section (French Horns) were sadly TERRIBLE. We threw together fanfares at like the week prior and half of us HATED the ones that were chosen but we had to rock with it. Still it is what it is and that moment will forever be in my heart.

      But it's only right that they did their performance from the movie. That movie inspired me and millions of other children going into middle school to want to get in the marching band. Before that movie kids in middle schools didn't know about what marching bands were really like. The movie was a great tool to revive music programs all over the country. And I'm from Virginia where some of the best Bands come out. I went to Henrico and we had our run of Championships from 06-10 They compared our sound to Norfolk State. But since then the program has declined. We need another drumline movie to motivate the youngins again. Too much Killin and drilling going on
