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.
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 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 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.
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.
Why not they went at famu and bcu why be scare of a band that the same size as you Norfolk don't try to over power u with sound they out play you with music I never been to nsu I am just stating the turth
NSU was still on that high from Dirty Diana and for SCSU to play that weak stand music that everybody already knows, they even played that at my high school which is 70% white...and NSU came back and threw it back at them with a version that was on another level, and the mere fact that they was on home teritorry...SCSU just set themselves up. YOOO.....WHY WAS DIRTY DIANA SOOO HYPED?? that's bout to be at the top of fav Michale Jackson songs now thanx to NSU...DIANA!! DIANA!! DIANA!! DIANA!!
Ok for one its not that serious. Two if SCSU plays to be felt... they are failing terribly. And my observation is valid... because I was performing in this battle...
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?
NSU was like “Y’all done? We’ll pick up where y’all left off” 😂😂😂
I would have retired my horn after NSU hit playback! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I miss these glory years. 2000-2005, 2007, 2009, 2010 were amazing
This was one of the best battles Ive EVER been too. So much intensity. Much respect to both schools.
marching 101 alum
been coming back to this video for over a decade
at 2:57 NSU sez: I'll pick up YOUR song and PUNCH you in the FaCe with it!
There isn't no coming back after NSU slayed them!
NO BAND plays “Dirty Diana” better than NSU LEGION 😮💨
Nsu Went Crazy💯💯
that's when nsu was the shit
yep!!
Brooooo!
I really miss these gym battles
lol i still laugh at the camera man... "Whoohoohoo! ... *pans to SCSU* What YA'LL got??"
I'M IN LOVE WITH STATE BUT I'M SORRY NSU KILLED IT
Did you hear that "Word Up" by the Euphoniums in ESPN?? That counter-melody is crazy. NSU smashed they azz.
lmao the fact that The Legion finished SCSU's sentence is TOO funny...i am a proud retired Legion Member
I like seeing videos of the old MEAC bands they used to be a real beast.
NSU...you know you wrong for that...
I MISS 09 BAND!!!!! COME BACK NSU 09 !!!!
As much as I like SCSU, NSU went HAM on dat ass!!!!!!
Norfolk you have the best ESPN of all HBCU bands. Keep it comin NSU!
Nope
@@deneciaolawumi2159Yes
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.
You gotta go with the Legion on this one. They been crankin on everyone this year.
nsu cranked on sucs i mean scsu
nsu majorettes shook it too espically on espn
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...
I think I woulda jizzed my pants had I been there in person. NSU gave it to them, hands down
NSU KILLES IT EVRY TIME!!!! DEY DOES HARD!!!!
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
3:49 band director had me weak "get cho ass down" lol
and we were blowin like this like 2 hours into the battle. SCSU couldn't hang with us.
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
NSU dem Tubas came in strong
Both bands were Brilliant tho' #musicianship #hbcu
NSU Got this one.
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!!!
@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
@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.
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
I love all the boo's at the end for SCSU. NSU murdered them
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.
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"
This shit went HARD...IM JUMPIN UP N DOWN N MY SEAT LIKE DAYUM...lmmfao
Really? ESPN? We played that in SEVENTH GRADE!
no lie when i heard scsu start playing espn i knew they lost even though im a wildcat fan nsu has the best espn arr. big mistake scsu
i love bein' on marching band just because i get to be rite there in tha middle of the madness !
LOL at the end it looked like the BD went up to the drum major and said get da hell off dat ladder...
maaaaaaaaaaaaan i miss this!
they sound so good..!
Hell Yah yah seet NSU mi seh!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE MY HBCU
daaaaamn that dirty diana was freakin crazy !

That's a lot of tubas lol
Makes a white boy want to go to NSU, hahaha
NSU all the way!
#slaugther Win goes to NSU
2:58 They hit the "Turn up" button
1:14 my guy
NSU scarred them up.
its like yall knew they were going to play ESPN and yall were going to be ready to CRANK lol
NSU Spartans baritones came back with bang
Damn dey smashed them.go nsu
Pillsbury dough boy in the background XD
@ThriceCreme wow! scsu i love u but. you were NOT ready for the BLOWBACK
Every time I see this I laugh, lolololol!!!!!!!!!!
that director was pissed lmao
Come on now, let's be serious. Crowd response says it all. Cant come toNSU with old songs.
Half of SCSU band are horn holders
OMG! I just noticed that, too funny!
no way!!!!!! NSU ALL DAY. SCSU did good but NSU was killin on dirty diana n ESPN. it was extremely powerful
The tried to interrupt Behold.....smh......they had that coming lol
nsu fucking deep
2:57 THAT'S IT, IT'S OVER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
That is Sad One Band Performs Everyone is Silent When The Other Band Performs The Same Song Everyone is Turned Up But Both Bands Are Amazing
Turnet up Then Down
That's real school loyalty nothing wrong with it
Pink Anon South Carolina state was not the smaller band that day they were the largest of the two
dang scsu
totally agree....that mess they got on youtube barly sounds like the song with extra parts and all
NSU first round knock out
I would love to see SC state faces
DAMN NSU, They cranked that shit at 2:57.
Who’s here after The Honda post on IG 😮💨
@legion2004 Wow...I just noticed that. What was the thinking behind twirling their cymbals....at the tuba section?? LOL
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.
i think 27 or 28 that year
I see SCSU was embarrassed to play DD back at NSU. Such cowards.
NSUUU killin lol
Damn they deep
huh? you mean the Mellophone part? even if NSU did "steal" it. its in the original song.
and that was powerless as well, lol!
I bet they won't come at jsu or southern University like that.
Why wouldn’t they.....Norfolk is supposed to be scared of them!! 🙄
Why not they went at famu and bcu why be scare of a band that the same size as you Norfolk don't try to over power u with sound they out play you with music I never been to nsu I am just stating the turth
regardless of which way they faced.... they still got smashed on..
I think all their euphs shold just apply to NSU already... they try so hard to be like us...
Yes, but they made it awesome.
all these bands miss judge nsu espn band arrangement i dont think any band can compete with that but im still gonna rep my band bcu all the way
SCSU was musically good but NSU shut them down.
NSU was still on that high from Dirty Diana and for SCSU to play that weak stand music that everybody already knows, they even played that at my high school which is 70% white...and NSU came back and threw it back at them with a version that was on another level, and the mere fact that they was on home teritorry...SCSU just set themselves up.
YOOO.....WHY WAS DIRTY DIANA SOOO HYPED?? that's bout to be at the top of fav Michale Jackson songs now thanx to NSU...DIANA!! DIANA!! DIANA!! DIANA!!
Ok for one its not that serious.
Two if SCSU plays to be felt... they are failing terribly.
And my observation is valid... because I was performing in this battle...
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?
SCSU all day
@TheDragonmaster18 they aren't some from the SWAC do
