Norfolk State University's "Spartan Legion" Pass & Review @ the 2023 Tournament of Roses Bandfest

[@natprimus8379]

I swear, I cannot stop watching Spartan Legion's Behold. That arrangement... OMG. That sh** is too tight!

[@kjjax1725]

"To friend and foe alike, within the sound of my voice.....". This whole setup, arrangement, sound etc. "Behold" rides hard. NSU you represented Va, HBCUs and yourselves well!!

[@snobbypolitics7792]

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

[@panamanianman1]

All the High Schools bands in the 757 wanted to be The Legion. My band director Edward Woodis was a tuba player in the Legion.

[@liquidlightz]

Yes I marched with him at NSU

[@rockmdii]

He was the assistant Band Instructor when I marched for the Legion.

Damn that last note was heard across the state of California

[@kevinsivells8996]

MAAAANNNN!!! I miss playing this! This song gives me chills EVERY time I hear it and played it, especially that horn scream after the fanfare into the original opening. Imagine being the opposing band and hearing THIS when they enter the stadium. I am PROUD of these young men and women. The Legacy Continues! Let The Heavens Resound... BEHOLD!!!

[@aburks4life]

Brings tears to my eyes!!!! I can watch this all day!

[@legionnaire2U]

Same

[@sharonfrazier2460]

Nice! Love our black marching bands!! 😊🥰🎉. That's why, they should always be celebrated as a part of black excellence.

[@packman0439]

Behold is up there with JSU Blowin, SU Fanfare #2, FAMU 20th Century Fanfare and more. Classic. I hope to hear it live one day. Great job Legion!

[@othellosson1621]

BEHOLD is a different yet to be reached by all that you named. It called SOUND PERSONIFIED!

This has been their style forever. This Tradition has been going for almost 40 years.

Who started it? Shout that man out

@Jack Frost I wanna say Walker but it may have been even before him.

[@ebrown2297]

I have never understood why black bands have difficulty staying in a straight line and marching in the same step when marching…crooked lines make the band looks bad

[@linda1stimp]

Is that all you see😂😂😂😂😂

[@legionnaire2U]

@@linda1stimp RIGHT... @brown2297 is just a hater and nitpicking much whilst willfully choosing to IGNORE the musical excellence and discipline of this program. They were the best looking, best sounding and most entertaining unit at this event. I was there.

[@legionnaire2U]

...and I have never understood why white bands can't stay on beat or keep in rhythm whilst marching. Plus, I am amazed by the amount of talking within the ranks (whilst performing) and all the corny waving/chatting to spectators in WHITE bands... shows a lack seriousness and a lack of discipline.
