What a special day in Pasadena! The Legion did its thing and the crowd loved it. Many were in awe. One woman near me had her mouth was wide open. The band was something to BEHOLD! Can't wait for the parade on Monday. And how about a hand for the many Spartans who showed up to support the band today.
This is the hardest march in all of HBCU BANDS!! NSU, NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY...MY MOTHER AND MOTHER INLAWS ALMA MATER!! ME, I went to Tuskegee, but this still better than anything I have seen.
@joharirussom5003 I'm going to stick with "few". It's just my opinion. FAMU, BCU, NSU, PVAMU, and maybe a couple of others have some of the cleanest and most balanced sounds I've heard.
It brings me so much joy and tears to my eyes to see Norfolk State University Representing Va! My Son Ja’Len is one of the bodacious tubas! Your making me so proud 😊
Me too Shadana. I had tears in my eyes watching them. I am so extremely proud of them. My son DèShawn is in the Legion as well. He's a Sax Maniac! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE their sound it is straight 🔥!!! Proud Mommy over here. BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD 💚💚💚 💛💛💛💛 Legion Family 4 Life!!
Norfolk State was Just INCREDIBLE!!!!.....The Audience did not know what hit them. I don't know another College Band that Musicality and Swag of Norfolk State. I hope your TV time will show how SPECIAL YOU really are on Monday at the Rose Parade!!!!!......I still feel your Strength and Swag!!!!.....GREAT JOB!!!!
I'm happy for the Spartan Legion. They have an awesome sound and are one of the most disciplined bands in the culture. I hope yall are having an awesome time in Cali
I’m elated with tears of joy! As a former Hot Ice Dancer, I can not be more proud of the LEGION!!!!! We are not new to THIS! The discipline and sound has existed for years! OUR LEGACY CONTINUES and I’m so greatful that all of the sweat and tears has come full circle. The LEGION is AMAZING Show the world what WE ALREADY KNOW! BEHOLD THE GREEN & GOLD! 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛
Very Musical band period. Definitely one of the best sounding HBCU bands. Out of the large HBCU bands definitely the best sounding. Great musical arrangements. NSU definitely has some players. trumpets screaming and the tubas mastered that bass. I like Snoop Dogg and Dre and that music just like everyone else but this march was just impressive. Shows the musicality of the band and showmanship of the band. Something that needs to be shown. Anyone watching this would be impressed.
Proud of the Green and Gold!! I am a retiree from NSU and heard it broadcasted that they were being viewed by 50M people, I am sure in various places. I AM PROUD and they marched high and proud on to a victorious show. Behold the Green and Gold!!!!! Anita E Brabson
IT'S THE LEGION 4 ME!!! So very proud of them. They represent well! Their sound is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Proud Mommy over here. BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD! LEGION FAMILY 4 LIFE.💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛
Their entire brass section and Drumline is DRUM CORPS QUALITY of musicality and marching precision. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see more and more from this band in future DCI corps. BEHOLD 💚💛
They've already have had many alumni march/ instruct within DCI , winning DCI championship. A few of the Corps are Boston Crusaders, Cadets, and Blue Devils. ua-cam.com/video/FwC0wreFez0/v-deo.html This is clip of an NSU alumni playing solo(trio) with the 2003 Cadets @ 3:51.
@@burdrchitect1680 I know for a fact there may have been one, I think his name was Tim Greene. If I remember correctly, he marched cadets 2000 and Norfolk. Absolute beast of a player
I’ve watched this video so many times and every time with tears in my eyes and chills all over my body I truly truly love this band living in the 757 area and being from this area I am so proud of you all y’all represented the 757 with such class💚💛💚💛
I was in the crowd. This was epic, top to bottom. You def delivered on this NSU and the crowd LOVED it!!!!!!! I only wish u wudve found a way to play this in the parade!!!! The paraders wudve went CRAZY!!! 🤣🤣💯🌹 But still loved everything about your performance, energy, n look in Pasadena. NSU is def a top-tier marching band with a unique style. Way to deliver and sell yourselves. Kudos to staff and students. We are all very proud of your success in California and beyond!!!! 🔰🔰🔰
Before I went off to college I bought NSU band tape and I have loved their style since then. So glad to see them representing in California my home state in this amazing parade. 💚💛💚💛
Pass and Review was very impressive especially the sonorities of the big block sound coupled with clear clean and concise fanfare style separation of lines. Interpretation of the opening selection was very appropriate. Great Job Band!
What do they feed those high note trumpet guys? This was a great departure from what you usually see from the bands during the pass and review portion of this event. Nice job.
Yep. The pass and review is a tradition that's about 40 years old. They do it before the start of every home football game. I remember this as a Teenager long ago. And still get goosebumps everytime. Love this University Tradition.
They've been putting in some work and clearly it has paid off! All the best to all these young people. I am so impressed!! Kudos to the staff and everyone else who plays even a small role in getting this band to the field for their performances. Congratulations on making it the Rose Bowl Parade.
With those black uniforms Hot Ice got on, shiny satin emerald green capes would look better than gold. However, when they play Behold, Hot Ice should always have on capes.
As a VA native, it's just so refreshing to see us represented ❤️😁💯. Norfolk State def always been one of the coldest it's dope to see them on the big stage and get some notoriety like other HBCUs now.

No band has done a pass in review like this! Well done Spartan Legion!
This is the hardest march in all of HBCU BANDS!! NSU, NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY...MY MOTHER AND MOTHER INLAWS ALMA MATER!! ME, I went to Tuskegee, but this still better than anything I have seen.
That ball and parlay GOES HARD though!
NSU has my highest respect. One of few HBCU bands with their own style, and a pristine sound. Robust
That's not true. There are many unique and "pristine" sounds in HBCU culture. It depends on the event.
@joharirussom5003 I'm going to stick with "few". It's just my opinion. FAMU, BCU, NSU, PVAMU, and maybe a couple of others have some of the cleanest and most balanced sounds I've heard.
They were SO LOUD omg, like we were warming up all the way across campus and we heard them loud and clear, it was wild
And they ain't even the loudest theyre middle of the pack in terms of power
So proud of this band. My son is a snare drummer for this band.

AMAZING! I hope the girls bring back the gold capes. They add to the "Spartan flare" during the P&R. 💯
