Most folks don’t think about how physical these young men and women have to be. Stand in place and mark time high step style for a minute and then think about marching, performing and band uniforms are not the lightest of clothing. Hats off to y’all!
Yeah, this would’ve been after 4 or 5 hours of marching, dancing, and playing in the stands. The only thing that can compare to marching in an HBCU band is training for a Triathlon or being the Navy SEALS. Lol
I agree! They are all so STRONG physically and mentally disciplined too. The amount of training required for this kind of performance is hard to imagine.
Marching band ,means just what it says which takes a lots of physical endurance and coronation keeping in step with cadence of the drums.I served time in the army and knows all about drill marching standing up for hours in parade ceremonies. I always envied the WW2 German army soldiers goose stepping in their parades at times with rifles and combat equipment ,I believe it takes more energy goose step marching than what it takes marching in the U S army, of course soldiers are conditioned,taking nothing away from theses college students who must be in good physical shape as well.
I live about 7 mins away from NSU...i open my bedroom window when the band performs if i dont attend the game. It's like having a radio on there sound is so crisp and clear...God Bless them babies and there healthy lungs! BEHOLD THE 💚&💛!!!!
I feel u, I grew up less than a mile 4rm Grambling State campus and I can even recall being in class one day and they were onda field practicing. This was b4 Robinson Stadium, so school was right next 2da field. We're tryna concentrate and suddenly the drummers start with Housequake by Prince!!! Now imagine being in high school, black, and expected 2 ignore and concentrate. It was sooo loud and funky that our teacher said "ok guys, put ur pencils down and relax 4 a minute, ha ha ha!" We all laughed and starting jamming in our seats 😂 That was sooo cool!!!
I don't think military precision is the right term to describe this band/line. Definitely no where near what military bands look like and the style they march, play, and preform with they're instruments couldn't be any more different from each other. But I assume what you mean by "precision" is how professional, neat, and clean this drumline is and I'd agree with you there. If you want to see high class drumming but in a more military manners/style, I'd suggest checking Drum and Bugle Corps international (DCI)
I attended NSU from 74 - 77 and loved every crazy powerful exciting second! To be immersed in that culture of excellence unity and love changed my life! I really wish I could see Angel , Laureen, Lewis Simon Earl Jones and all the crew one more time! I'm 62 now but it seems like just yesterday! I'm a Spartan til I die! Go BIG NSU!
I guess you have never seen a DCI drum line then? This line is very choppy at best. Ultimately however these kids are having fun and really that’s all that counts.
Wow. They are fabulous. They've worked so hard. Their work and dedication shows in their performance. The university they represent should be proud if them.
BEHOLD.....THE GREEEN....ANNNND.....GOLD!!!! my entire family of 7 and my parents graduated from NSU and I have danced to the beat of thier drum since childhood watching my family in the band over the years and I take great pride.👍🏿✊🏾👍🏿✊🏾✊🏾🎶
You all are right. This drumline is the best black line I've heard yet. They are pretty much on the caliber of a professional DCI line. The snares are so crisp like one man is playing. And the tenors or basses start going up and down the line so fast. I was more than impressed. WOW!!! To see this band is on my bucket list.
A Ceas i agree that they are the best “black line,” but i’m gonna have to disagree that they are on the caliber of a DCI line. All DCI lines are much much cleaner, while playing complicated music and doing absolutely ridiculous stick tricks. So much more attention to detail is put into a DCI show, and while this line is straight-up funky, they are playing very repetitive and simple book paired with very simple visuals that many high school lines could pull off with no problem.
@@dbnois3 They actually had an alumni that marched with the Blue Devils for I think 2 or 3 years on quads. Marched when they won in 2009. So their line has alot of DCI influence. My close marched in MDFS and tried out for a couple of corps.
burdrchitect 1 yeah, nothing against the individual players. I’m talking about the line its self. you know? like there could be a very simple drumline with someone like miles kenobbie, but the like would still be simple. But i do agree, this drumline is sick, and the funk is wild
@@dbnois3 I'm pretty sure if they would be up there with them if given a book. But they just have there own style, that's why they are call the Millon Dollar Funk Squad. Take a look at all the other HBCU drumline like Southen U and JACKSON state. Now those are simple drum lines. Also check NSU MDFS battle with NC A&T Cold Steel a couple years ago.. nice book.
@@dbnois3 I agree with you, MDF$ has the best drumline out of all of the HBCUs. They have been playing like this for years. I graduated from high school in 1984. I remember the NSU drumline putting on a show at Armstrong - Kennedy High School in Richmond, Virginia. They even played beats with the drum sticks in their mouths. The show was amazing. Also check out MDF$ 2015 Warren County with the stick toss. Another amazing show by MDF$. Often imitated, but never duplicated. Keep up the great work NSU Spartan Legion!!!
Because they are not. They are third rate. Look up Drum Corp International. Corps like Crown, Blue Devils would not take any of these guys - black, white or any color.
They are third rate, you understand. Look up Drum Corp International. Corps like Crown, Blue Devils would not take any of these guys - black, white or any color.
I've easily replayed this entire video 20 times back to back and I'm STILL mesmerized by the precision and pageantry of it! If this display doesn't stir your soul then you might need to check your pulse and make sure you ain't dead!
EVERY BODY that came down that line was STEPPING! The big, the tall, the short, the skinny! Tuba's marching tall carrying their 'heavy' instruments up in the air! DRUM LINE! Drummers Bangin! Wish they could have shown the bass drummer as s/he was holding it ALL together! Playing instruments, marching, all in precision!!! GREAT JOB! SO PROUD OF YOU!
Snare line has perfect technique, that old 9 and 2 we used play back in drum corps during the seventies. I loved it, awesome job, lots of pride in this band!
I’m so, SO far from any kind of expert, but TH-cam had taken me down multiple band rabbit holes, and this is easily the best band I’ve seen. That doesn’t mean I don’t still want to do filthy and raunchy things to that justrin kid from ASU, but this band is definitely superior.
Absolutely love it😍 The drumline is a powerful weapon in any band!!! Them drums will make you get up and dance even when you're having a challenging day💯💯💯 #Somethingaboutthedrums
I love this video. Watch it almost everyday. I’m 60 years old but played the drums in High School so this moves me. And I’ve tried to find other videos of the sane tunnel March but for some reason this one I like the best.
When you see something bigger than yourself and make this type of commitment and dedication to it.....beautiful things just seem to appear!!! Great job to this crew of young men and women!!
I’ve never watched a band perform. I’ve seen it a million times but never stopped to actually watch and think of the time put in by the person who created the whole thing. Also, what worthwhile entertainment to watch and for them to provide. What an amazing group of kids. Bravo
I was stationed at Portsmouth Naval Hospital back in the early 80s. I come from a Jazz/Big Band musical family background. Anyhow there's Julliard, Rochester and Berkley. Been to them all in one form or another. (My wife and her sisters were Berkley, Rochester and Julliard products.) Then there is Norfolk State's Music Program at the top of the heap when it comes to putting out the finest working musicians to be had. The only Non-Blacks I knew there were in NSU's Music School, myself included. From Rock to Country music was represented. Imagine that! The greatest artists gave Clinics at Norfolk 'Soul' University as we knew it and I made it a point to attend as many as possible. Free and open. My wife said it was the BEST musical education to be had. Then again, she and her sisters had quite a few awards playing in Russia and Eastern Bloc nations before the age of 13. Norfolk 'Soul' University, says it right. Norfolk State University, where everybody was an equal regardless of race, color or creed. Best damn music education to be had. I look at this video, the white dude killing it at the toms, a couple more within the band's ranks says it all. They're kings among kings and queens. That band is tops!
Everyone in the comments section knows what they’re talking about. I’m from England and have no idea what everything is called but I’ve just been binge watching these type of videos and I love the atmosphere and the teamwork in these videos
It is called black college bands. Other schools have them but none better than the black colleges. It is about history, love, honor, tradition, and heart. These students work very hard to be in a college band. They have to be the best of the best to earn a spot. The deeper the South you go the deeper the tradition and talent.
Material looks ok but too stagnant and stiff put a little more showman ship in their cadences and they’ll be on Cold Steel level this same material from the 90’s they added a couple of new cadences but not all that appealing making a tunnel
These kids should be very proud of themselves!!Team work makes this Dreamwork.Great skills and dedication from each section..Hardwork and discipline is what has these kids looking Amazing.Kudos to all the schools parents...educators and contributors of this talent we see before us.Ty.
The precision of the drum line is so impressive from an auditory standpoint but then you add the visual and they are sheer perfection! The marching precision and performance presence is outstanding!! 👏👏👏
Wow, Norfolk University's band is incredible. I love, love, love, their obvious discipline and marching style. Very high knee and militant. Also, l loved watching those Tubas push through. I can't believe how long this super entertaining video has been in circulation and l just noticed it like a year ago. Go Spartans Legion!!
This is PURE PRIDE!! All these Musicians in one place WOW! This is One Marching Band that take their craft Very Seriously!! The Musicians Marching in the middle HONORS their Instruments! This was friggin AMAZING!! NYC🤍
Absolutely unbelievable. I've been on this planet for 82 years and this presentation is the pick of the pops for me. Is is so good that words fail me. BRILLIANT. Thank you
That's days, more like weeks of practice and tradition. You gotta have the mind and memory, and the drive to want to do it. Never thought I'd remember my marching band show my freshman year but it comes to you as time goes on and then you're sitting there wondering how you did it at the end of the season.
ok, look, from Toronto and we don't have ish like this up here. Came back after watching this twice the other night to watch again. This is fire! Thanks for uploading and sharing with the world the better side of America. Bless
@@teka1720 Hmmm I don't get why the fuck would this be Black culture.... This a costume every American school haves even if the school haves a majority of white students or etc... This ain't black culture
Love watching great bands do their thing. This is awesome. Whether its this great HBCU style, Ohio State's march in, or The Texas A&M Aggie band Military style. It is All Good. A good band is a good band. I love to watch anyone that is great at what they do, whatever the style. Music and Marching and Showing out!
Although I’m white, I really wish all colleges were more like this. You can tell the atmosphere is built around the community and just being there for a good time, and doing something they genuinely love. It’s fantastic how people are supporting everyone there too, no matter what race they are. Love to see it. :)
Very, very wicked! So much fun to watch. One of the things I miss with not living in the US anymore. Nothing better than college football and a great band and drum corps.
This is sooo cool. I wish I could do this drumshit-thingy too. I regularly watch these drumline videos imagining that my inner drumchild would come to life. These guys remembering such long sequences really impress me. Good job..
Buy a pad and start practicing, never too late to learn an instrument plus if you look there is probably an ensemble that you can join near you for any age you might be
Man what a show High steppin tremendous sinkipation team work talking drums that speak truth to power of the human spirit and the beauty of together each achieving more Made me proud and smile a lot Thank you
So proud to have these talented young people in my life.Although I'm white, I still love having this black/African culture kept alive and respected by our FAMU students. You rock, guys.
Things have changed so much! Our 1960s-70s bands did little, compared to this show! These people are super trained and talented ! It’s a beautiful show!
Omg Yasss!!! Idk what sent me to this video, But God knows that is a group of talented young individuals. May they rise up to meet the road halfway and the Lord just carry them the rest of the way. So glad I watched that artisty of music and youth giving their all. The best marching or line up whatever its called it has been the BEST, and most enjoyable one to watch all the way to the end yet. Thank you for sharing this video and cuddos to the schools band director and school for a wonderful I mean Excellenct group of bandmates playing amazingly. 💕

It's easy

This is by far one of the best I've seen. The drumlins and the entire band are well trained.
Look up Drum Corp International. Corps like Crown, Blue Devils would not take any of these guys - black, white or any color.
yeah that was great
Definitely the best HBCU drum line that I’ve seen
The dedication to tradition, musicianship, teamwork and hard work is evident. Your pristine uniforms and high step are impressive. Well done.

I saw this band live at NSU. This is awesome and, seeing them live was heart stomping!!!!!!
Man, the tenor and bass drum are really well tuned. You don't hear that much these days.
Black Warrior Lures they don't have tenors
I see, thx.
Those are not tenors smh, they’re quints 😪😪😪 they have snares, quints, 1,2,3,4,5 and blast bass and cymbals
Material looks ok but too stagnant and stiff put a little more showman ship in their cadences and they’ll be on Cold Steel level this same material from the 90’s they added a couple of new cadences but not all that appealing making a tunnel
Ultra Sin Gaming quint is the saying for 5. How many drums are there? 6, either known as sextets or the universal term for them are tenors.
Man i love this video! Theyre one of the only drumlines that puts all of their time and work into perfection, which is what we see here. Outstanding!
Brings me back to my marching band days they were so much fun I miss them and it's great to see Bands still doing good this one is great.
💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯💪✌
Amazing how properly tuned drums can bring up the entertaining factor even more in a high stepping line
Facts
That percussion section was on! Good cadences!

@@thecraplordsell4575 wgen did they start that
Someone who composed this is pure genius
One of the best retreat beats I have ever seen. Probably higher quality than the football
Love watching great bands do their thing. This is awesome. Whether its this great HBCU style, Ohio State's march in, or The Texas A&M Aggie band Military style. It is All Good. A good band is a good band. I love to watch anyone that is great at what they do, whatever the style. Music and Marching and Showing out!
Amazing drum line. NSU always brings it! Shit is just tight.
If I was in the crowd I would be rockn' with the band. I love this.
i thoroughly enjoy all band entrances but NSU does it up best
Indeed they do,I love to see them do the pass and review
Absurd comment.
@@ludgatecircus15 we all have our opinions. Your comment is the most immature.
Although I’m white, I really wish all colleges were more like this. You can tell the atmosphere is built around the community and just being there for a good time, and doing something they genuinely love. It’s fantastic how people are supporting everyone there too, no matter what race they are. Love to see it. :)
Went in sixties ,community yes!
I loved it! I accidentally clicked on it somehow and glad I did! thanks for posting, don't see any of those type of exits in MI.
BCCBearcatband yup these hbcus
You can help but want to dance to their best. Man I love a good drum line. Just awesome thank you for the video.
Worthy of multiple comments.....pretty badass sound and visuals
So very creative and entertaining. There's lots for the performers to memorize. Keep up the good work!!!
NOW that is how you are suppose march in a parade, Got to love the Drumline, Get down now Y'ALL🤗
This was awesome they weren't playing around shots out to the whole squad y'all were awesome from Mississippi to yall awesome
Drum line was killin’ it
Watching this for the umpteenth time! These guy are awesome!!!!
Look up Drum Corp International. Corps like Crown, Blue Devils would not take any of these guys - black, white or any color.
By far the best groove I've ever heard in person and TH-cam
💯👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎👍
Very, very wicked! So much fun to watch. One of the things I miss with not living in the US anymore. Nothing better than college football and a great band and drum corps.
Snare, tenor, bass are fine tuned...very nice...applaud you...DCI drums sound!
Each NFL team needs a drumline band like this: it would bring a whole other element of entertainment to the football league...
That was just flawless and beautiful. Yall smooth af wow. Especially those quiet strides at that one point, and that end. Too nice.
Very, Very flawed. Look up Drum Corp International. Corps like Crown, Blue Devils would not take any of these guys - black, white or any color.
Excellent, a lot of fire, spunk, and very good rhythm, I love these young "alive Marching College Bands"
Very cool. Wish I was playing with you. Former DCI snare drummer.
What an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to!!! LOVED IT!!
That's a hell of show. Would love to see it in person, great job guys and gals
Probably the only clean and fine tuned drums hbcu drumline I've ever seen. Props to y'all NSU :)
That drumline is so 🔥
Amazing! I've never seen clear drum heads like at the very end and honestly if gave the whole ensemble a wonderfully fierce look.
Wish yall the best.
This just appeared in my timeline today (7/6/19). As a FAMU Rattler alumni 🐍🐍🐍, I give this band it's props!😉👏👏
💯💖💯💖💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It doesn’t get any better than this! High Quality Performance! Awesome job guys!
I am showing my young kids to continue towards excellence and greatness. Continue forward and finish strong all students!
I was in the drum section in high school. It is a hard and demanding skill. Great drum section, they got it together.
that groove they layed down for the drum majors is FIRE tho!
This is sooo cool. I wish I could do this drumshit-thingy too. I regularly watch these drumline videos imagining that my inner drumchild would come to life. These guys remembering such long sequences really impress me. Good job..
Buy a pad and start practicing, never too late to learn an instrument plus if you look there is probably an ensemble that you can join near you for any age you might be
That white boy on the end has been hanging out in the club. He's got serious rhythm.
He gotta hood pass! He prolly in the fraternity too!
I Love ❤️ this. I feel the same way about him. They’re Awesome 👏🏾
Twina McMillan L🤩L
Lmao
Funky and down.
Damn, that was awesome! Snares were tight, quads were synced...y'all tore it up!!!! Nice vid! ☺
Man what a show
High steppin tremendous sinkipation team work talking drums that speak truth to power of the human spirit and the beauty of together each achieving more
Made me proud and smile a lot
Thank you
So proud to have these talented young people in my life.Although I'm white, I still love having this black/African culture kept alive and respected by our FAMU students. You rock, guys.
American Black culture!
IT IS NOT BLACK CULTURE.
THE BEST DRUMLINE ! And I've watched at least 12 bands 11/13/18.
Look up Drum Corp International. Corps like Crown, Blue Devils would not take any of these guys - black, white or any color.
Things have changed so much! Our 1960s-70s bands did little, compared to this show!
These people are super trained and talented !
It’s a beautiful show!
The precision of the drum line is so impressive from an auditory standpoint but then you add the visual and they are sheer perfection! 👏👏👏
I wish I would’ve joined the band when I was in school! So much talent I love it!! Gives me the chills
Omg Yasss!!! Idk what sent me to this video, But God knows that is a group of talented young individuals. May they rise up to meet the road halfway and the Lord just carry them the rest of the way. So glad I watched that artisty of music and youth giving their all. The best marching or line up whatever its called it has been the BEST, and most enjoyable one to watch all the way to the end yet. Thank you for sharing this video and cuddos to the schools band director and school for a wonderful I mean Excellenct group of bandmates playing amazingly. 💕
Drum Majors were badass
Yesss...#BigFacts
To the Max!
That was awesome and white boy has mad skills and rhythm
Strange. What if the comment was black boy has rhythm?
