  • All Time favorite video...Hands down>>>>mellos >>>>wtf

  • "William "Dick" Football Stadium"!

  • @supersscreamintite William "Dick" Price Stadium, named after the late and great former athletic instruction of NSU. The stadium is presently the largest in the MEAC and has been referred to as "The Big Dick!"

  • NSU don play around.. they straight bring it !

  • GOT DAMMMMIIIITTTTT!!!!

  • is that the beastly marching purple storm standin in front of them!... they killed jamboree this past year just like in 09

  • These fold killin it we need this type sound at haywood Jr high

  • that Tuba/Eupho Blend at the crank up at 5:29 was... a phenona in its self... goodness gracious

  • This clip was Banannas!!!!!!

  • i swear that brass hittin... but ima drumline nigga but i got give yall yall props yall is like fourth on my list of fave band unda southern famu and howard in that order real talk

  • IM GOIN HEA

  • @cnj393 NSU put together a show dawg! From transitions from songs (& dynamics), the way the key switched at 3:14 to "back that thang up" to a key where it didnt lose intensity, kept tempo, excitement right around the corner, from a few notes to a build up into the beautiful arrangement, DAWG! Dey did dey thang and dats wat NSU's all about!

  • @hotboy0138 Not arguing with the quality of the performance, because the quality is undeniably there. The integrity of each arrangement and execution of them is on point. Like my previous comment states. Much like FAMU you can never say NSU sounds bad. Even if I don't care for the tunes, it goes without question that the musician is always intact. However, it still stands that I didn't enjoy this mix as much as I thought I would until the last tune. It's solid, just didn't do it for me.

  • @cnj393 it was hotter during the time cuz Kanye's album had just dropped and some of the songs were just more relevant then

  • The mix was ok. The I'm so hood clearly stood out from the rest. However Norfolk state is kinda like FAMU. You may not like what they are playing but you can never say they sound bad.

  • uh ohh! They killin it

  • Freaky Girl was hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype!!!!

  • Man if I was in that band jus standin there i would had peed on myself when they play im so hood lol jk, it wasnt even all that, it was all over the place and horrible.

  • NSU is over rated!

  • @fonzostew3 Lol, not at all kiddo!

  • @bookercity Yea they are, they have power but in 2008 they was crushed badly by my school AGGIE PRIDE! SM 08 so yea, you know what the deal is, jus look at the clips if you think im liein, they are not the best band, yea they was the ish, at least they thought they was last year, but this year its A&T's turn, jus hearing NSU's Dirty Diana from this year does not crank at all like it did last year.

  • @fonzostew3 oh, don't let that fool you! My boys gon be back on it real quick! Overall on a consistent basis, NSU still holds the throne. Yall only get yall shine every couple of years so enjoy the spotlight while it lasts...good luck this season tho

  • Loved the back that ass up

  • That was tight!!!

  • I have finally found the band that wud match southern's power ......lol

  • Behold!!!! This is Sparta!!!

  • 5:18 to the end is beastii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ok i see yall

  • do you here bodacious on we are the champions. omfg i am so proud of my school sometimes they slip by the waist side but they always manage to come through at the end. represent legion. spartan guard 97-01

  • lmao dude in Miller Grove lost his composure at 5:30

  • @redanchickenlittle dude was GOT DAYUM!!!!!!!

  • damn.. DAMN.... a 4:30 ca that rhytmik is phantastic.. PHANTASTIC MAN

  • so what this beautiful 09 season LEGION just had!

    Rookie 09

    POOSE Bruce!

  • U F@!KED MI EARS UP NSU!!!!!!!! Muc swac luv

  • Since NSU started coming down here to ATL for the BATTLE, we have been getting the respect that is due.We have gotten weaker in some aspects but we still have a high level of musicianship......oh, WHOOMP THEM DAMN DIZZYs !!!!!!!!! 93-94.

  • I love NSU!!! i was apart of the band standing in front of them (MILLER GROVE HIGH SCHOOL)...after this is when every band member wanted to go there!!!!!

  • Bodacious Was Holdin it down the WHOLE TIME! 07 steriods I say yes to the whole season. LOL! Good times.

    B Phi B 05

  • @plwilliams1983 Yo man, yall niggas was killin! @5:30! It sounded like everysingle person in da section nailed that B flat. sigh good times

  • @plwilliams1983 Baseball Phi Baseball at Savannah State

  • the legion was on steroids all of 07

  • Yall need to bring this back! This shit cranks!

  • BAck that ass up by Juvenile

  • Competition from the SWAC? SWAC on everybody's mind? PLEASE...People are finally realizing thats its not about "just" volume...They are seeing, from quite a few bands that just so happen to be in the MEAC and two or three from the SWAC, that you can have both musicality and power...

  • Both NSU & JMU from Virginia could smack down any of those SWAC pretenders.

  • wats was that they played around 3:40?

  • Back that thang up.

  • the swac must be the shit everybody wanna try and give them competition

  • good transitions. nice arrangement of thug passion. Im so hood......SMOKIN!!!!!! Clean and powerful!!!!! (i feel heat comin after this comment) they could give everybody in the swac MAJOR comp, including SU, and convincingly win!!!!!!

  • Both high schoold perfomed half-time shows after the game and Norfolk did this "spirit mix" to thank them for coming by...I would say seeing the Legion in person that day opened alot of those kids eyes to consider going to Norfolk to play in the band and/or to get a degree in Music..They have a GREAT band and music program at NSU...

  • Miller Grove High School in Lithonia, GA (suburb of Atlanta) and Sowuthwest Dekalb High School in Decatur, GA (suburb of Atlanta) were in Virginia during that weekend and decided to drop by Norfolk State University to check on the Legion. Norfolk has a special connection to Miller Grove, not only because they sound like a mini-Legion but because Miller Grove hosted the Legion when they made their first trip to the Honda Battle of The Band in Atlanta in2007

  • Why was Miller Grove there?

  • S U #1 But N S U is 2nd

  • Comment removed

  • SWAC got nothin on this!!!!

  • swd was there?

  • this is still my favorite video on youtube

  • IT gave me chills

  • DIDO. I think I had a bandgasm on "Im So Hood"! lol

  • @magic556 bandgasm lol wow bro lol

  • I'll say it again. THE most underrated HBCU marching band. Hot &hit fellas. Hot &hit.

  • dat shit crank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wooooo ssshhhiiittt !!!!!!!!! that was off the hook.

    that made me want to change my career and go to school for music edu. just so i can go to NSU.

  • lol at 2:06 "WHAT"????

  • im soo hood starts at 04:39

  • i like the transition from 01:56 to 01:58

  • Wat is the name of the song that starts at 2:29

  • Thug Passion

  • Go Home is the name of it...... Jackson State also plays it

  • I think you're referring to "Thug Passion". It's a go-go joint. Both are sampled from Diana Ross's, Love Hangover. JSU's joint is called "Gangsta B", some rap song from the 90's I think.

  • Sounds like gangsta b*tch maybe....

  • pretty good

  • Wow i loved good life! Can someone gimme a link to dis college website i might go!

  • @Squareryoyo nsu.edu

  • thanx.........

  • They ALWAYZ got them tough endings man!!!!! They dont stop the dance mix like other bands............ they leave u wanting more!!!!

  • im sorry but i had to post again cuz i didnt get to the so hood part yet.......DAMN

  • damn

  • Jesus Christ that shit is loud.

  • Was it me or did the Horny Horns really kinda drown the band in he end

  • wrong vid kiddo

  • Make sure you listen at 5:30 to bodacious take that B flat up. OMG!!!!! The band just turned the volume up completely. That day was great for me! B Phi B all day baby!

  • umm... oh! you talkin about Northwestern State University. yes SSU vs Northwestern would be a good show but not against Norfolk... you smokin'

  • Tukes b quiet cus aint no damn Savannah State got nothing on NSU!!!

  • Ok now u tellin lies! BCU??? Clark???not even!!! they probably look twice to see if yall was still there...making sure yall hadn't blown away! Yall might b a good band but yall aint messing with NSU now thats FACT! Made BCU look twice...girl please!!!

  • something is wrong... WHO IS SSU???... RIGHT NO ANSWER SO STFU TO THE FULLEST DUMB ASS

  • HAHA YOU BEEN AWAY TOO LONG

  • I have to say; bands like this go threw some drama; but when the finished product is brought to the table and sounds like this; it makes the pain, sweat, tears, worth all the trouble in the end. They sound even better in this segment. I felt it run threw my ears straight down to my soul. I can feel the hearts from this group of people. Make love to those instruments, make love... Close your eyes and just listen to the joy. If you have a system in your home or office, hook it up and turn it on 10

  • naw my nigga porter from john masrhall gone be there next year killn it and my nigga keem.

  • i wonder why NSU dont do that for really good local VA bands like Norcom , Highland Springs , Henrico, and Nasmound River because those are the top four in VA

  • dat ish was colder than an eskimo's balls 5:30 damn

  • I was born with Blue & Gold blood runnin through my veins...AGGIE BORN, AGGIE BRED, AND WHEN I'M DEAD I'LL BE AGGIE DEAD... But The Legion did work in this video. I haven't been able to go to BOTB's like I want to but I've seen videos all over youtube and NSU always brings their A game. Don't get it twisted I'm still gonna roll with The Often Imitated NEVER Duplicated B&GMM if I'm @ a BOTB.

  • Wow.......

  • hey what are they sayin at 2:02 someone please tell me

  • why was the force even out there, they know they cant hang with the legion.

  • HA dude said the best six minunets of his life.. Cool cool. I loved playing this. I was so hype playing it... The Horny Horns was so holding it down. Every section was but that force in them chords was so much support.

  • they should never be able to play wit hampton again.

    not fair. lol

  • complete scrapage of hampton!!!

  • We are the Champions into Kanye's Champion???

    WHAT?! Very nice.

  • this was the best six minutes of my life without a dout

  • That "We Are The Champions" at the beginning was on point! Not saying that the rest wasn't good, but I can just hear the beginning and that's all I need to hear! Great Job Spartan Legion!

  • They get down on this mix im really lovin this. Keep doin what you doin Spartan Legion.

  • I heard this last year!! I no longer play in a band, but hearing "The Spartan Legion" ALWAYS reminds me of WHY i fell in love with HBCU Marching Bands Period!!!

  • i agree with this 100% because i cant stay away for it and NSU just make it that much more sweeter

  • A complete rape of the force...Wowzers!

  • 2:40...Thug Passion is the shit!...they killed this joint!!!757 All Day!

  • Freaky Gurl..

  • yall may have a new vote

  • This vid seems to get louder every time I watch it!! LOL!!

  • dang dey went back with them hott boiz.....back that thang up

  • NSU, great sound!!! A&T hasn't been relevant since the year they played Southern in Las Vegas, and even after that game, their numbers plummeted...Some people make themselves look so stupid you just feel sorry for them...Do you think nobody has heard clips of A&T during those years you SUPPOSEDLY embarassed NSU?? Too funny....

  • so much hating...just give ppl their props and move on...

  • I want to apologize to the assholes from NSU who are making our name LOOK BAD when they are doing what we teach NOT to do. Just want it to be clear to others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DIZZY man chill out cause you know thats not our style... Always the Dizzys lol

  • whatz da name of da song at about 2:30.i love da song i just need da name.Everything else waz blowing especially Champions and Im So Hood.5/5

  • Thug Passion by Tupac

  • well as a member of the Trojan Explosion i jus wanna say good job legion

  • omg u so stupid.. lol in that vid if you pay attention.. a&t was playin espn.. TROMBONE & SAX were the ONLY ones playen when the whole entire NSU band came in and over blew.. dont blow ur head.up.. you really made yourself sound so ignorant.. and lets be real 2002 and 2003 was A&T best years....please have a seat.. everytime u open ur mouth u sound even more stupid

  • and NSU stil blew on that arse in 2002 and 03 in 03 we blew on everybody. especially in Bragg stadium (FAMU).

  • "Im so Hood" is smashing. i feel sorry 4 the kats that were sittin across from that...

  • you must be stupid to believe that NSU was better in 05 than A&T.. 2007 YES.. but, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 hell naw.. NSU got them feelings hurt. .especially 2002 and 2003

  • I don't know what Lala land you've been living in, but The Legion has been using A&T to wipe they behinds with for the past several years. Even this supposed new A&T is still the same ol crappy sounding A&T, with less sound and severly lacking high brass, namely trumpets.

  • bruh name the recent years as in 2002 and up that NSU has used A&T to whipe they azz?? lets see i would say 2006 and 2007.. other than that give it up .. 2002 & 2003 NSu didnt stand a chance.. 04 it was bout even.. 05 A&T took it. as far as 06, and 07 yea NSU got that

  • 2002 & 2003 2 b exact. Just like in the vid where a&t was playing espn and when dey went to blow nsu came in and blew the hell out of a&t

  • that aggie pride is gettin to your head...

  • I see we got some haters... GOOD JOB LEGION!!!

  • NSU that freaky gurl was pathetic. .LEave that to A&T lol. and wow hmm 2:30 - 3:20 (dont know the name of the song) but didnt A&T blow that on yall azz during there spirit mix in band brawl 05 i think? Yea that brawl you got spanked.. But other than that Champion was great tho!! big ups on that.

  • Pimpin A&T didnt blow SHIT in 05. Let alone at Norfolk. Real talk. Yall were REAL weak in 05 an all your alumni will tell you. And lets not talk about band brawl. The closest you cats got was in 04.

    You can have Freaky Gurl though lol.

  • That song you're referring to is a GO-GO song named "Thug Passion". We've been playing that off and on since 2000. Get ya facts straight then type.
