I was on the field doing photography when I witnessed the show in 2007 at Honda. I remember looking at one of the other photographers on the field to say, "Are you hearing this?" The sound was almost unbelievable. Of the bands I'd covered over the years it was one of the best shows I'd ever seen. This show is has been added to that list for me. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to capture it via film this time. Hopefully I was able to do it justice.
Wow! You actually did do them justice. They are very good band and their director should be very proud of them. Wish I could have been there to see them in person. Continued success Norfolk.
This was simply awesome. They went from a 4/4 time signature, to 5/4 to 3/4 and back to 5/4. Great job Legion and great work video team for capturing this.
This program has been a favorite of mine for many years! The musicianship and dynamics are always there, and I love the energy. They captured me years ago with a trumpet section solo that was off the chain.......AND I'M A DRUMMER. Keep on grooving NSU!
Even as a Marching 100 alumni, i always had alot of respect for these boys. So much intensity and fire here. These boys are always very consistent no matter how big or small they are. Great collegiate sound here hands down.
Amazing footage, we I'm the band community appreciate all the work that goes into putting out quality material. Thank you for your dedication to your craft. NSU sounds great, the arrangements and articulation are impeccable. And this is coming from an SU fan.
I'm definitely feeling Norfolk State! I'm a huge fan of Jackson State and it refreshing to see originality and them doing their OWN thing and not emulating Jackson State like a lot of bands do ! Keep up the good work 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
This has been there style since the beginning. Nothing hasn't change. They keep the traditional going.People are just now finding out. Everyone in VA know they are the best Collegiate band. Even the Corps style college bands emulate them.
Man you hit the nail on the head!! Most are going to deny it when you can clearly see the resemblance. It's a lot of lines that try to emulate WT!! It shows...
This is a bad band with an awesome sound. One of the best shows I've seen lately. I love me some S.U. but ya'll need to watch out for NSU fo real though. Keep up the excellent work u guys.
Now that’s what you call clean lines. In uniform. Looking ahead at all times. Focused. Picking they damn feet up. Spats to the heavens. Ooooozing a TEAM attitude. I’m here for this band.
HBCUBANDS.COM These video/audio is AMAZING quality, better than most damn tv productions! Then again I've been subscribed for awhile so your talents are most appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks man, that means a lot. You know like I know we all put a lot work on these clips and thank you's are rare (at least for me they are). This was one of the best shows I've seen in a while and probably some of the better footage I shot that night. The cool thing with this one is I feel like I was able to capture it the way I experienced it, sight and sound. It was a helluva show.
HBCUBANDS.COM man I knew it was going to be great when I saw you setting up. I didn't have any help this year so I did what I could. I saw you from the top like damn Gerard getting ALL the shots lol. This is indeed art man!
Yeah, definitely learning the value of getting help on the shots. Getting the hang of this multi cam thing and like you said, its definitely an art. Getting more comfortable with the work not necessarily being fast, but something that at the end of the day I'm proud of. Multi Cam's a work in progress though.
I really enjoyed this performance. Absolutely loved the flag line/color guards! Their uniforms are darling, especially the poms on the booties! Everything and everyone is so unified.
+Lamar Turner Thanks man. Glad to have had the opportunity to capture The Spartan Legion. It was a great show. Hopefully the clip does those who experienced it first hand justice.
kkkjgfr Tgf h they have a book they just don’t get to use it like that because they hardly face bands but I look forward to the NC A&T and NSU Battle This Week
OH HELL NAW they ain't playing 'Jupiter' by EWF?! And they SLAYED the horn part too?! Hammurcee Geezus, I think I'm gonna swoon! OH LAWD, now Anita Baker?! (Goes ahead and passes out)! Will watch the rest later......
Yo I heard some haters in the crowd at the end of the show at the kick down. Whoever they are ( NOT IMPORTANT) know damn well they secretly want to be LEGION. G.T.F.O.H BEHOLD BEHOLD THE MIGHTY MIGHTY GREEN AND GOLD!
Truth B Told man i need that ion go lie ive been a big fan of norfolk for a long time but in recent years gain a parallel respect for Southern i truly believe it would take these to programs to restore the mass youthful interest back into the HBCU marching band culture
Dizziacs are strong. I wish they build on that and bring the Bones and Euphs with them in 2018. B PHI B stay humping. That 06 bastard version of Deja Vu...hold it down. Lol.
I'm sorry, but NSU doesn't do it for me. They sound so crisp and clean tho!! To MDFS, please change your snare heads. Only thing you hear is the Tonals majority of the time.
Now idk if the mic was on but they lil ass was loud and clear. Not fond of they marching style. Quite a few people where off beat. Nice sound but still SWAC all day.....
Awol Dixon appreciate your compliment. However when you're accustomed to seeing only one particular preforming style it's easy to feel that way. I love JSU SU Miles and Bama St for what they do which is good ol fashion SWAC style blunt blowing and dancing which is pleasing to me. However you must admit that the Spartan Legion is a trend setter and is quickly rewriting the status quo STANDARD for COLLEGE BANDS HBCU OR OTHERWISE. Programs like TENNESSEE ST AND NC A&T are starting to incorporate these principles into their perspective programs. All and all I love HBCU bands and there is no better way to get an education. Much love. BEHOLD BEHOLD THE MIGHTY GREEN AND GOLD!
Thanks man. Still sorting thru the footage. This was one of the better performances I filmed that night. Looking forward to perfecting the process and the season continues. - G. Howard
The HumanJuke box started something now everybody wnt to show a little something they wasn't doing that at the queen city battle. Everbody should be glad That band from jaguar land didnt show up
Ant Bone I don't understand this komment either. And SU is one of my top 3 favorite bands. The one thing I do know about NSU is they do not preoccupy themselves with what other bands have started or doing. They work hard at their own Kraft and style which is original.
NSU does not and will not ever sound like Southern... they have too much integrity for music than to always blast their instruments to be loud as can be...that’s not what this band is about... they strive to put out outstanding music, nothing less and that’s what I love about them!!! Copying other bands?? That’s a joke, right? NSU is one of the few bands, PWC or HBCU, that has its own style and originality

They not only sound good but they march like they on a mission. I love it.

/\/\ MARCHINGSPORT i know, right? The sound , the Sound, The SOUND!
/\/\ MARCHINGSPORT why don't you have more NSU content? The legion needs to be featured more
i was in the 10th grade, like a child at Disney when i saw and heard Norfolk..truly orgasmic experience
Never heard an HBCU cover Dave Brubeck’s Take 5 before...made me smile.
This was simply awesome. They went from a 4/4 time signature, to 5/4 to 3/4 and back to 5/4. Great job Legion and great work video team for capturing this.
Good ole take five

It so good to see The NSU Spartan Legion back. This coming from an AGGIE.
I love NSU and have felt they are one of the highest quality HBCU bands out there. This just shows their prowess as musicians, and entertainers.
Amazing footage, we I'm the band community appreciate all the work that goes into putting out quality material. Thank you for your dedication to your craft. NSU sounds great, the arrangements and articulation are impeccable. And this is coming from an SU fan.
MD was killing it. Them bass drum runs were clean as hell.
I'm definitely feeling Norfolk State! I'm a huge fan of Jackson State and it refreshing to see originality and them doing their OWN thing and not emulating Jackson State like a lot of bands do ! Keep up the good work 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
I agree they are definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Wait til next year!!
This has been there style since the beginning. Nothing hasn't change. They keep the traditional going.People are just now finding out. Everyone in VA know they are the best Collegiate band. Even the Corps style college bands emulate them.
@@burdrchitect1680 yes behold the green and gold NSU spartan class of 2000
Man you hit the nail on the head!! Most are going to deny it when you can clearly see the resemblance. It's a lot of lines that try to emulate WT!! It shows...

Now THAT......was music! Great Job, especially the trumpets!
I keep coming back to this show. I love it. GO NORFOLK U ROCK!

HBCUBANDS.COM And yes I felt like the show started once NSU took the field. That sound and field presence was amazing!
Yeah, definitely learning the value of getting help on the shots. Getting the hang of this multi cam thing and like you said, its definitely an art. Getting more comfortable with the work not necessarily being fast, but something that at the end of the day I'm proud of. Multi Cam's a work in progress though.

Go state there is none better
Dizziacs are strong. I wish they build on that and bring the Bones and Euphs with them in 2018. B PHI B stay humping. That 06 bastard version of Deja Vu...hold it down. Lol.
For a college dance line, their jetes and turns are not very good.
xXxxXx I was thinking the same thing. The routine seemed rushed and messy.
Musicianship ! Google it ,youngster
Anita Baker
I'm sorry, but NSU doesn't do it for me. They sound so crisp and clean tho!! To MDFS, please change your snare heads. Only thing you hear is the Tonals majority of the time.
They nice but they don't wont any parts of the Juke.
umm the Juke was actually there and they had a horrible field show. I think you have it backwards.
Now idk if the mic was on but they lil ass was loud and clear. Not fond of they marching style. Quite a few people where off beat. Nice sound but still SWAC all day.....

Much love. BEHOLD BEHOLD THE MIGHTY GREEN AND GOLD!
I guess the mic was on when they were in the stands too smh
NSU is a mixture of corps and traditional style. TnST is a Traditional style band.
Shut up I wanna hear crank 100 percent of the day head ass up
Bruh your cuts on action and jump cuts are CLEAN! Keep up the great work team HBCUBands
Thanks man. Still sorting thru the footage. This was one of the better performances I filmed that night. Looking forward to perfecting the process and the season continues. - G. Howard
They ok I just can't get past the uniforms please dump the he helmets .
Kc nope

The HumanJuke box started something now everybody wnt to show a little something they wasn't doing that at the queen city battle. Everbody should be glad That band from jaguar land didnt show up
what does this have to do with NSU?
Tomaz Hilton nothing worng page i actually like ncu and others im just a juke fan
Ant Bone I don't understand this komment either. And SU is one of my top 3 favorite bands. The one thing I do know about NSU is they do not preoccupy themselves with what other bands have started or doing. They work hard at their own Kraft and style which is original.
Kool Kharisma they do have there own style just like Su i just wish for Nsu they would get more credit in there conference
NSU does not and will not ever sound like Southern... they have too much integrity for music than to always blast their instruments to be loud as can be...that’s not what this band is about... they strive to put out outstanding music, nothing less and that’s what I love about them!!!
Copying other bands?? That’s a joke, right? NSU is one of the few bands, PWC or HBCU, that has its own style and originality
Drum and Bugle corp shit. Marching bands march.
Not only they marched, they high stepped.
Are you blind?
