As an SU fan (with preference for the SWAC band approach) I must admit that NSU is no joke! I love how they always do EWF songs justice. I love the NSU fanfares. I love the originality. I truly respect this program and its leadership. Keep doing what you do so greatly. I'm a fan. Respect to the Green & Gold! 👊

[@tremainekennedy9417]

Before I can get to the Legion, this MEDIA TEAM IS STRAIGHT UP 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. CONSISTENTLY!!!!!!!Now on to the Legion, I don’t know what you guys are on this season but 😮😮😮😮😮😮 I swear y’all showin em why you are Rose Bowl Bound!!!!

[@thenorthnodetarot]

these drill formations are so geometrically pleasing 100

[@DistrictOfCrankage]

Silkettes and Spartan Guards the Epitome of Color Guards 🙌🏾

[@legionnaire2U]

Awesome job Legion!!! Per usual the Silkettes and Spartan Guard did some impressive precision flagwork that’s hard to find today. You guys are truly dedicated to maintaining the fundamentals and that traditional para-military flag corps style. You can’t go wrong with that… sets you apart from the rest! Keep up the great work! BEHOLD!

This halftime performance by the Norfolk State Spartan Legion was selected the No. 1 HBCU band halftime show for 2022 by HBCU Sports. The Spartan Legion also had another halftime show that placed 3rd Place. BEHOLD THE GREEN & GOLD !! 💚💛

[@Magnum5840]

The Norfolk State University Spartan Legion Band..2022 HBCU SPORTS BAND OF THE YEAR.... BEHOLD THE 💚💛!!!

[@TheWatcherSupreme72]

The Spartan Legion is the BADDEST BAND IN THE LAND!!!!!!😀👍

[@DistrictOfCrankage]

In my mind this band has always been The Earth The Wind And The Fire! These songs and other EWF songs that they play are what makes NSU Superior! I would love to hear more songs like this than Rap Arrangements in the stands! These songs are the Standard! AMAZING SHOW LEGION!

[@legionnaire2U]

I agree!

[@DevaJones03]

Ewf is my favorite band hands down y'all did this! Thanks for playing real music the whole show. Beautiful show sound was amazing concept was on point arrangements were done very well. Behold the green and gold! from a #worldfamedalumni i hope y'all enjoyed your homecoming i know i enjoyed this part of it thanks for sharing it with us.

[@jrc99us]

When our son the Dizziac told us to prepare for their best show he WASN'T kidding!🤯 BEHOLD!!! 🎺💚💛

[@koolkharisma5298]

I always wondered how NSU would sound playing "Gataway"after hearing JSU's and Southern's versions many years ago. Superb! I only wish NSU's arrangement was a little longer. Hot Ice, your magical moves is a throwback to the Spartan Legion's Hot Ice feature: "System of Survival" in the homecoming show 1987. You ladies are fiya then & now!

[@liquidlightz]

Now that was a Homecoming show! Behold!!

[@kennyeaton8210]

This was definitely the best EWF tribute I've ever seen.....I remember watching old performances and you played Jupiter.....but Everything sounded great From GETAWAY TO SEPTEMBER. This is definitely going on my Favorite list

[@sharonjones9815]

THE LEGION IS A LEGEND !!! 💚💛

[@shaywynn4966]

Listen!!!! I’m an Aggie and a die hard BGMM lover but there is NO DENYING this band’s sound is AH-MAZ-ZING!!! CRISP & CONTROLLED!!! They sound like “one sound”. 🔥 🔥 🔥 …..and song selection is on point!

[@strongmixture]

Noone does it better than The Legion when it comes to EWF! So glad to finally hear Loves Holiday. One of...if not the best field shows yet! BEHOLD! 💚💛

[@jeromesimms7880]

Let’s go Guards

[@jsquaredmetalworkandlogist4564]

This arrangement!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Tigerfied67]

I hope NSU brings the Spartan Legion to Tennessee State in 2024 when they play football.

[@lazurusredd8682]

I'm pretty sure thats already a done deal, it's been a long awaited meeting between the two

[@troystrong8041]

The game is in 2023…almost certain The Legion will be there…let’s hope there’s a Battle of the Bands the night before the football game 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@teka1720]

They will

[@terryh989]

I loved this! My new favorite band!

[@mzstixfx574]

Was a great pleasure to participate in this extraordinary moment!!!!🔰🥁🙏🏼💯🔥

[@latrishamajor9273]

This was great! Love my HBCU!!!

[@thenorthnodetarot]

the drum majors look a looot cleaner than previous weeks! 100

[@tanyabrown8008]

Behold! This was fantastic!

[@RNDiva33]

I hate I couldn't make it to see my son Tyson perform. Good job everyone.

[@SRambo-hx8sl]

Looking at the stands and how it should filled each home game. Remember that this is a young and inexperienced team. Give them a chance and they will make you glad to be a Spartan. GO SPARTANS!

[@josephstierwalt6788]

[@Tigerwarhawk]

This is a good band. Overall, the band looks the same and it plays together. I don't like some of the voicing, particularly in the mellophone and euphonium (the upper tessitura is often thin, non-mellow and non-euphonius) but the arrangements are very musical. Love's holiday is VERY NICE! Percussion is very clean with good balance within the section and ensemble. In my book, you're clearly in the top 3 bands in all of HBCU land Norfolk, FAMU, BCU--in no particular order. All 3 groups are MUSICAL, and this musician appreciates that a lot.

[@troystrong8041]

Suggestion, send a note to the directors about your concerns😉

[@Tigerwarhawk]

@@troystrong8041 I have no concerns, but I'll gladly serve as a paid clinician! 😉

[@troystrong8041]

@@Tigerwarhawk if you have no concerns, why are you publicly commenting…AND, I seriously doubt they would pay you😂😂😂

[@Tigerwarhawk]

@@troystrong8041 just like you, I comment because I WANT TO--whether you like it or not. If they don't pay me, that's fine. Many other bands have paid me handsomely for my services. 🤣🤣 It's sad that people find negativity in something positive. Go learn how to take constructive criticism; you apparently lack the tools to do so. Now move along, as I won't respond to any of your acrid foolishness.

[@Tigerfied67]

IF your band has NEVER played EWF [I cannot imagine that its even possible], your band.........!!! Fill in the Blank

[@kareemjohnson4128]

Lackluster show. Keeping it 100. They sound good. But the energy was way down. The shorter drum major also needs alot of work. Is her hand too small to hold the mace in the correct place? The legion is known for details.

[@brilliantdiva5068]

10-19-22 This show would have been SUPERB except whomever had the bright idea to allow fans to participate on the field during the Band’s Performance are Clueless as to the deterioration to the synchronization of the Bands Performance. All their hard work went straight to the toilet by allowing this takeover. Even if they are former Band Members IT IS TACKY AND DISGUSTING. AN ULTIMATE INSULT TO EVERY BAND MEMBER’S HARDWORK FOR TIGHT EXECUTION OF THE HALF-TIME PERFORMANCE. SHAME ON WHOMEVER STARTED THIS TRADITION THRU OUT THE COUNTRY.

[@liquidlightz]

😂😂😂 you must be mad that you didn't make the cut. Nothing was tacky about it. It's a homecoming show. You would have really been mad if you had seen the Legion having the California raisins, Fat Albert, The Greeks, etc for past homecomings. The crowd/alumni loved it and that's ALL that matters. Typing in all caps won't change that.

[@brilliantdiva5068]

@@liquidlightz I bet you weren’t there taking to the field at their Performances where they were an invited guest band. This allowance of fans participating in the field show is beneath the standards of excellence set by the renowned Band Director Emery Fears

[@liquidlightz]

@@brilliantdiva5068 lol based on the response from alums and people who didn't even attend NSU and were entertained by the show that would negate your assertion. Homecoming is over but the Spartan Legion appreciates you watching our spectacular homecoming show. Stay tuned for next year. Hopefully you can make it on the field next year or even better, get a music degree so you can put what you want on the field.

[@brilliantdiva5068]

@@liquidlightz Your IQ apparently means you did not graduate from any college. DO NOT TEXT ME ANY FURTHER BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF IMAGE IN BAND PERFORMANCES. IF YOU WERE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT BAND ETIQUETTE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IF ONE OF THOSE FANS SUSTAINED INJURIES ON THE FIELD DURING THIS SLOPPY IMPROMPTU FIELD TAKEOVER PERFORMANCE YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT A TRAGEDY WITH POSSIBLE INSTRUMENTS HITTING ONE OF THOSE SOUL TRAIN TYPES ON THE FIELD WOULD RESULT IN AN ACTIONABLE LEGAL CAUSE. BUT THEN AGAIN YOUR BRAIN MATTER IS NOT FULLY DEVELOPED YET. THINK ABOUT IT. AND I PRAY YOU ARE NOT NSUs LEGAL TEAM.

[@Ray68Dex]

Relax. It's mot that serious.

[@kennyblaaq6158]

Boring

[@liquidlightz]

I know right. So boring that this show was ranked the #1 halftime show for the week by HBCU Sports. Have to wonder how boring the other bands were during that same week.

[@koolkharisma5298]

@@liquidlightz Lol 😂🤣🤤 That was alit 🔥 homecoming show though.
