Shout out to ALL HBCU Bands!!! At a moment's notice, ANY of them can and continue to entertain the Nation/World in unique HBCU Show Band style and finesse. ❤❤❤❤❤
Legion is about musicality and blend. They have power but that’s not their focus. They take you on a musical journey through dynamics- not just screaming the entire way down the highway. I really wish folk would learn that LOUD doesn’t mean BETTER.
I don’t think loud means better. If that was the case I would have said Southern won but I didn’t. I can appreciate different approaches to music.
@@likemikeonyt I didn’t say you said that, I was speaking on the topic of “loudness” in general. I know many ppl believe “cranking” is all that matters in HBCU bands and I wanted to clear the record on that lol! All good tho
Yea you should go say that on jsu page because they just playing loud and drums just Beating like they crazy. Jsu having temp control because they trying to be LOUD
@@cj9160 you are heavy on the hate fam… relax, 😩😅😅. You stay commenting on my opinions. If you love the Boom, just say so 🤷🏽♂️😮💨.
There's a time and place for wind ensemble and a time to be heard across the field. Only wood winds you hear are piccolos and check the tape, SU's are heard very well.
That we sound better crap is the "go to" for all bands the Jukebox meet since they cannot meet us on power. They display power back at us in spurts just to prove that they can. We display power because it's who we are.
Jackson State is the perfect band for this topic. Years ago they used to claim this same crap, that we sound better because all SU does is play loud. Well, they and other bands have adopted our writing for power style, not the other way around.
We've remained true to our writing for power from day 1, and we took it with us to more Superbowls, presidential inaugurations, rosebowl parades than most bands.
So we are the most imitated marching band on planet earth, right Jackson St?
So if NSU is so great at what they do, why does their popularity struggle across the entire HBCU apparatus?
One thing is certain year in and year out, the Jukebox is the band to beat, not NSU. Who doesn't know the Jukebox? But many will ask you, NS who?😮
We, NSU, don't really do loud. Our focus is balance and blend.
Tell me what the spartan guards did that most drum majors don't do? It's just our drum majors run the show and we not about dancing.
I didn't love either song but it's early in the season like you said. To early to call anything.
Yea battle was meh
@@likemikeonyt hopefully the football teams well be good enough one year to get us a celebration bowl at the end of the season. I really want to see them have it out at the end of the season at full power.
That's bcuz you never heard anything like that...N st is the big fish in the pond...you guys would 3rd or 4th in the SWAC
LMAO
@@lukelucas8112 Man please. At the worse we would be behind SU and JSU. At best we would compete just the same. We have seen both ASU and TxSU head to head. We have also been to Queen City and the NBOTB (with both SU and JSU in attendance) before so who have we not heard?
@Scarfinger36
The JUKE is not ASU, or TXSU...like I said Norfolk would b 4th or 5th...its no competition in the MEAC...
Queen City and NBOTB....yall keep that we will continue to do the ROSE BOWL PARADE, Presidential Inaugurations, and continue to have the Fabulous Dancing Dolls perform with the likes of Madonna, Beyonce etc.....
LMAO
Being apart of the spartan legion our focus is balance and sounding good as an assemble not just playing loud and blowing for whatever reason… we are a musical band
Right my first an last time on this page just because of him saying they not trying to play loud
I appreciate the approach. I enjoy the sound fasho.
Southern play with power and meac fan try to minimize something SU do Norfolk don't do if Norfolk state got go against Southern entire zero 4 quarters 5qt that long long day for Norfolk state
@@darrylbannister8816seriously doubt that!! Long day for Southern being outplayed and outmaneuvered like they were in Houston by Norfolk…you can’t rely on loudness against a band that can be just as loud where needed and then finesse the hell out of you with musicality…
What u think the JUKEBOX is....I don't see the NFL call ming Norfolk st, to play In the superbowl, or president Inaugurations...
LMAO u funny
Totally agree with you on su trombones. They always sound so thin which I hate man euphoniums definitely over powering.
After years of listening to them I honestly think that’s their goal to sound that way. I feel like that because it’s consistently the same way each year
Spartan Legion has been voted the number one HSCU band 2 years running.
Loud is not alway good.
Let’s see who the top four bands are on December 15, 2023 in ATL at the All Star Battle of the Bands. Who will be crowned band of the year.
I like Norfolk. They always have a consistent sound
By who
And won the 2021 NBOTB

3rd time listening to a band ever and saying they don’t stand a chance vs a band is crazy
You couldn’t have thought I was being serious. Michael Banks. Bandhead. Marched in a collegiate program from freshman to senior. Was a section leader in the program. And you think I only heard them three times 😂😂 I’m just exaggerating big bro
NSU will never have a section overpower the band. (Speaking about the btones) and most likely they they splitting parts with the trombones.
I respect it. I’m not saying anything is wrong with it. I even said I can see why people think they won
Like Mike, what is your preferred band sir? You called out SU and NSU as trash. However, they are my favorite 2 bands. You get the best of both worlds with both bands. SU gives you the loud sound with their swagger in the stands and NSU provides great field shows no matter what. My 3rd favorite is Jackson State. Based on your comments I wouldn’t be surprised if Jackson State is your number 1. Please share!
I don’t mind either band to be honest. I’m a Jackson State guy so the hate for southern is natural. If you watch my reaction to them playing Thank God you’ll see that I can give them they props. I think they did great with that. Norfolk is a great band as well. Their style is not my thing but I can appreciate it.
Cool! I was in Houston to see all bands. It was a great experience. Was my second time going and a great turnout.
That’s ok with the SU versus NS who? Comparison. The last field show battles I’ve seen when SU and Norfolk were in the house together head to head and Norfolk took top honors every time. Not just talk these are facts do your research. I still say these are two top programs. Money is won on the field not in the stands.
Yeah, clearly this guy has no idea about musicianship. I appreciate SU for staying true to the culture but 20 euphs can drown the rest of the bands sounds.
How don’t I know about musicianship ? If you don’t mind me asking.
@@likemikeonyt
Bcuz ur making BUFFONERY statements
Like what ?
i think bands should stop trying to play annihilate😭 i aint seen no one execute it
It for the writers to arrange the piece for the Bands Capabilities. And how talented the instrument player is. That piece needs work. That Top Brass made it Jazzy!
Wats this niggas band fax?!
while im not denying that, i think they should stick a tad closer to the source material, because at some points i couldnt even tell what southern was playing@@darrylsmith-oy7vp
@@cran3247 yes cran, Southern U didn't know either? it needs work. To me the counts are rushed and over played for this #? Annihilate, has a lot of breaks and Bass Line grunge. Maybe to pull this arrangement off give the Xylophones a Solo and go back to the Bridge! Listen carefully to this song? Has dirt and percussion as sound effects🥁 Top Brass overkill timing ask me? So far no HBCU Band has played it well. But season opener there's time to work on this arrangement. All them Tubas, write them a Solo? With sirens going off in the mix! Yeah, sounds Haunted! 4 real.💀
Um... Your stance is your stance overall and I cant really fault you for that. I do have a problem. Your comments in the end said SU has no trombone presence. Besides the break, The trombones where holding chords with the baritones the majority of the song. It is easy to identify when they play. You can also use those queues to hear where they are coming in. I do think you were being overly critical with that part. One can clearly hear the bone sliding into different notes with those chord changes. Especially @1:45 though to the break.
My problem with the trombone’s specifically is the numbers don’t match the sound. Im a trombone player myself and I sometimes question their approach with the way they play and the way they assign parts. For me it’s a bit to top heavy and a little thin. But to each it’s own
Light edge to Norfolk. They were the underdog going up against the jukebox. That should have been a one way battle.
U must b smoking crack
Two different bands on two different levels loud as someone comments is not always mean you are better NSU is a lot more musicianship than Southern
LOL I dont like the guards doing the dancing stuff but a majority a drum majors do the exact same thing and worse.
I agree with you on the Spartan guards, I'm not a big fan of them dancing in the stands
They are basically doing what most DMs are doing because the DMs they have are actually conducting.
Bro who commetating, for u to use the
'Arrangement was azz" lets me know how string the hate is....
No worries we use to it........

You think the arrangement was good?
@@likemikeonyt
I stand on it 💯
Sorry to tell you southern fans but Jackson plays that song better 🤣
Mf you could at least kept it to yourself. SU killed that song and that’s a fact. 😅
@@Chimalayas2000naw Jsu tubas and mellos with the base line they have no lie trumpets wise Jsu and SU was a tie in the arrangement
SU is the best
