the Michael Jackson Tribute is really good from the Ohio State University marching band as well. I think Ohio State is one of the best college football (American football) marching bands of all time and so creative.

I’m actually in marching band! Yes we do know how the pictures look! Essentially the way it works is that we memorize the music first for the entire show. Then each person gets assigned a dot. Each dot is a person. Then (some places do it differently) you get a chart showing what shapes you’ll be making at certain points. You memorize every point you’re supposed to be at on the field during the show and when, knowing exactly where you’re supposed to be is measured by the lines on the field and footsteps. So for example, my dot could be “4 steps off of the 50 yard line, stage right”. This means that from the audience, you should be on the LEFT of the 50 yard line and off by 4 steps. Once everything is memorized the last thing you need to do is put it all to the music you memorized! This shouldn’t be hard bc at this point the music you memorized is pretty much muscle memory and by the time you’re ready to put the show to music, moving to where you’re supposed to be on the field is also muscle memory. Students in marching band are often on a scholarship! We also compete against other schools bands and perform during halftime (like in the video you’re watching). I suggest you watch some HBCU’s battle of the bands if you want to watch a musical competition complete with dancing done by the dancers for the band AND the marchers. Pick ANY HBCU and you’ll be impressed!

You HAVE to watch them perform “Script Ohio”. They are world famous for it.

As good as it looks to you on the screen, you really have to see it live! It’s amazing watching them marching in formation all while playing their instruments. Band kids don’t get enough credit for how much work & dedication they put into these performances.

The leader on the field is called a Drum Major. It is it's own art form.

I'm not really into sports but as a proud Ohio resident I can say I've always loved the OSU marching band performances. Always worth a watch even if I don't watch the games. Fun fact: The ohio vs Michigan is one of the biggest and oldest rivalries in the us. The buildup for that game is huge and committed fans even take offense to seeing Michigan colors in the leadup. State pride and all that.

My Daughter was in UCONN Marching Band. So much work goes into it! Crazy respect for all marching band members!!

The players are, indeed, university kids. They usually are required to be in band for one of their university classes. Some of them are music majors, working on their bachelor's degree in music or music education. Our band students worked with their band teacher, their directors, to arrange the music and create the show - the physical movement of the players. We rehearsed 5 to 6 days a week and had a different show with different music every week. It is a significant time commitment, because all the students have homework, studying, and projects to do for their other university classes, too.

Being born & bred a Buckeye, they're simply referred to as The Best Damn Band in the Land. Someone needs to send you guys TBDBITL shirts :) Millie, currently there are 228 university students in the band. They have thousands apply every year. It is a huge honor to be selected to come to school there and play in the band and is just as big of a commitment as any sport. They practice upwards of 20-30 hours a week, plus are at the game on Saturday as well as playing in different festivals and parades, NFL games etc all over the country. They played the halftime show of one of the NFL games in Britain a few years ago! Last cool fact, all of the instruments are pure brass, which is unusual for any band, and they're the largest "all-brass" band in the world. The most famous thing about the band by far is "Script Ohio" which they do before every home game, if you guys want another video of theirs to react to. O-H

I actually got to march in Ohio Stadium back in the middle 1980's as a member of my High School marching Band. I couldn't imagine the rush of performing on front of 105,000 people nowadays! The students in the Band are actually all top notch musicians who are studying music so yeah, they are the best. OSU is know as TBDBITL or "The Best Damn Band in the Land." and is one of the top college marching bands in the USA.

Live in OHIO and a HUGE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES FAN and we have the BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND. HANDS 👇

Marching band was the best part of being in school. It turns out to be a gateway of opportunity for many young people in areas both related and unrelated to marching or music.

That first guy on the field is the Drum Major.

I'm an Ohio State graduate and have always enjoyed the band, but I first became aware of their mastery of marching performances with their tribute to video games. Worth a watch.

My son was in a band from a different college. Like you said the work they do is incredible. What makes this band so much better than so many other colleges is honestly the money the college invests in the band program. It takes big bucks to get this kind of choreography and pay for the music etc. The band is incredibly lucky. Props not only to the students and their band leaders who work so hard but to the university for giving them the means to get the things they need to do what they do.

The opposing team was the University of Michigan and I am from Michigan. Ohio State is probably our biggest rival but I have to admit that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen!!! I even had one of my teenage sons who plans to attend Michigan State University who is also an Ohio State rival, watch this with me and even he said it was amazing. So talented. Harry Potter was my favorite. Thanks for sharing this! And btw, the band leader is called the drum marshall.

Check out the one where Ohio State performed at Wembley Stadium, and the one where Ohio State did a tribute to Michael Jackson.

There are many great university marching bands in the U.S. In our state, the Texas A&M marching band is legend. There are many RU-vid videos featuring their halftime shows. You two are great! Keep-up the good work. ❤

The guy in the middle is called a drum major, I am one myself it’s a true honor too! You should react on them doing tryouts for the OHIO STATE MARCHING BAND! GO BUCKEYES!!

110,000 fans in the stadium 50-75,000 outside tailgating and watching on the big screens!! Always a great Saturday.. Watch the kids do script Ohio!!

Im so glad you guys reacted to this. I love the buckeyes and their marching band is second to none

My brother was in one of the most famous marching bands, the University of Notre Dame. They practiced as much or nearly as much as the football team, 5-6 days per week. The band even has its own football field to practice on, separate from the practice field of the football team. I don't remember how large the band was 30 years ago when he was a student, but it currently has about 380 members. Every year he would need to leave home for a week after Christmas to travel to where the "Bowl Game" was being played. It was an enormous commitment.

Watching a college football game in person is an incredible experience. If you ever get a chance to go to one make sure to make time to experience some of the things outside of the stadium before the game. You'll enjoy it.

The “opposing team” is the University of Michigan. The rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan is similar in importance to Barcelona and Real Madrid (at least in the Midwest), and their annual matchup is referred to simply as “The Game”. Michigan State (you got a hoodie of theirs!) is similar to Atletico Madrid: neither Michigan nor Ohio State considers Michigan State to be their true rival, but MSU is more than capable of humbling them both if given half a chance.

Just to offer some reference to the size of that stadium Ohio Stadium: Broke ground 1921. Seating capacity:102,780; Record Attendance: 110,045 (Nov 26th, 2016 VS Michigan.) Europe: Camp Nou: 99,354 Spain Wembley Stadium: 90,000 England I hope those can offer some perspective on the size of the Stadium. It sits on 10 acres or 40468.6 square meters.

I was in high school marching band. We had "summer boot camp" to learn our sets. We started at 7am on the field then after lunch went inside to learn the music that had to be memorize and left to go home around 4:00 pm. We worked hard but had so much fun!

With Ohio State, all of their half time shows are brilliant. But honestly I am happy just watching them start the football game by doing the Ohio script. It’s so satisfying. And I’m not from Ohio, and my own university, ASU, also has an amazing marching band and one of the best mascots in college football. Go Sun Devils! Sparky forever! lol

The band is much more than an after school program. They have three-a-day practices just like the football team Ohio Stadium is one of few places where no one moves a muscle at halftime until the band has finished. They get as big of cheers as the football team does. We love them here in Ohio. Watch script Ohio. From up high and also watch the one where the person who “dots the I” wears a GoPro.

What a lot of people don’t know is how rigorous the practice is for a simple performance, let alone an elaborate one, like the one we all watched. Kudos to the marching band!

The first band was the opposing teams band.

This particular halftime show was during the 2019 Ohio State-Penn State football game (the band you see marching off the field at the beginning of the clip was Penn Stated Blue Band). Ohio State found a way to poke fun at rival University of Michigan during the performance as well. What you heard the OSU band say before taking the field was "Pick up your feet, turn your corners square, and DRIVE! DRIVE! DRIVE!" One interesting fact about the Ohio State University Marching Band: The Ohio State University made the decision to field an All Brass & Percussion band in 1934 and is recognized as the largest all brass and percussion band in the world.

You might want to check out the Ohio State University Marching Band’s performance at Wembley. Their British-themed London show should make you feel patriotic. Cheers, 😎👍🏻

The Ohio State band performed at Wembley stadium in London. It was a great performance that played tribute to some of the great rock bands from the UK. Definitely should get a reaction.

These kids have been working hard for years, probably since grade school. They also, typically, learn and perform a totally different show (music and marching) for each home game which can be every week at times. It requires an incredible commitment of time. Not to mention that they are really good young people.

I had heard how good Ohio State’s band was but omg this video of them. I actually started crying during the Superman tribute. Will be checking out more videos of this damn good band

Im from Ohio and the Ohio State marching band really is "the best band in the land". Such a joy to see in person. OH-IO! Go Bucks!

Definitely come and see an Ohio State game. Stay in Columbus because on game days (Saturday) the city locks down because everyone is going to the stadium. The best game you could go to is the Ohio State vs Michigan game, or simply known as "THE Game" because of how intense the rivalry is. The half time show you just watched was one of those games that happens once a year. The rivalry is known nationwide as one of the most intense rivalries in American sports history. Every seat will be packed, and if you're lucky enough to get tickets for seats you'll witness one of the greatest sporting events in your life. Don't forget to show up early to tailgate, and possibly catch a skull session of the band (practice session). The game is always played in late fall/ autumn so if you do want to go plan accordingly

The bands do a different show each week along with their pregame show. Sometimes if they are doing a competition or a special show they will learn 2 shows in a week. Other shows to check out of ohio state is the michael jackson tribute, they also did a show in wembley stadium for an nfl halftime, they did a top gun show that Tom Cruise noticed, they also did a tribute to the group rush that the band made notice of, they did a tribute to 9/11 this past year, and a number of years ago they also did one that was about video games. You should check out their pregame show as well. If you want to see what it looks like from on the field the band does have some videos out of them using a go pro during their pregame

My son was part of The Ohio State University Marching Band (TBDBITL) for 5 years. What a great experience! If you do plan to see the band in person, plan to spend the entire day as a band geek. On Game Day the band reports 6 hours before kickoff - so for a Noon game, they report in full dress at 6 AM. They practice at 7:00 and you can watch this. Then there is Skull Session for the public 2.5 hours before kickoff. Mash up after Skull and before marching to the stadium. They march across the street through the crowds and enter the stadium where they interact with the crowds for a bit. Be sure you're in your seats now because you don't want to miss RAMP and Script Ohio. Seriously, go look up Script Ohio - it's fantastic! At half-time you get treated to this fantastic show and the crowd loves it! Post-game there is a brief performance and the band marches off field and into the stadium. TBDBITL is an Ohio treasure and The Pride of the Buckeyes!

Being the Ohio State Drum Major is a huge deal and a great honor. If you have time go watch their tryouts here on RU-vid, they will blow your mind.

I really pray that the two of you and all your family are doing ok.. God bless

The choreograph for this band, The Best Damb Band In The Land, is always on point! I am not musically gifted, but I have several friends that are, and one is an alum of OSU and TBDBITL. She went on a music scholarship. According to her, they practiced 25-40 hours a week depending on the time of year. They are of course most active during the fall semester. TBDBITL plays at every football game plus various parades, professional football games, sporting events, and a various events across the country each year. They practice in pretty much any weather except lightening because all of their instruments are brass. They are known as TBDBITL because they developed many techniques that marching bands across the country later incorporate into their routines.

I LIVE IN OHIO AND THEY ARE LEGENDARY,,,,LOVE YOUR REACTIONS

I want to say I enjoy you two so much. You are a lovely couple, and so fun and pleasant. I am 70 years old and it is not everyday that I find a fun couple. I have always wanted to visit. Great Britain, since the Beatles came out, especially, my sweet George Harrison. Love you ! Take care! ❤️🌹❤️

I would pay to see that live! Out of this world talent, a masterpiece.

Prayers for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏

Both my son and myself graduated from The Ohio State University. My son also was a member of the OSU Marching Band for five football seasons. I think I can accurately answer some of your questions. The band is considered another academic class., although the credit is minmal .If a student is interested, he/she signs up for he class then is automatically dropped if he/she fails to make the tryout. The Band is also known as T.B.D.B.I.T.L.,The Best Damn Band In The LAND. Each year approximately 400 students try-out for the Marching Band. Approx one half of the membership is music majors, the other half comes from all academic areas. Saturday games there are usually 228 band members total in the stadium, 194 regular band members plus the alternates who fill in in case a regular member can't make it. Also during the week an alternate can challenge a regular member for a spot in the regular band. This keeps the regular band on their toes. The man who is on the field twirling a baton is called the drum major. He is NOT the conductor. The drum major leads the band as far as marching is concerned, but has nothing to do with the music except for making routines for his twirling. The drum major pretty much does his own thing during a halftime show. There are conductors on the sidelines, usually on ladders. There have been both male and female drum majors, and women have only been allowed in the Band since the early 1970s. Tryouts are usually held in the Fall. It used to be tryouts were Mon and Tues, the new band was announced on Wed, and you were on the field on Saturday. Throughout the summer the current band members host events called "Summer Sessions" They follow a syllabus and teach all the marching and playing styles. All OSUMB members are college students. They've had senior citizens who sign up for one continuing education class to be eligible for the OSUMB. They also have allowed a student to tryout who attended a college in the area that didn't have a music program. Also, everyone tries out for the Band each year. No one is assured of a spot. The band practices every M-F, 4:00-6:00pm. Plus individual Practice sessions as called by a squad leader. The OSUMB is the largest all-brass and percussion band in the world. Their sound is well-suited for a large stadium and is instantly recognized. The band memorizes all their music. This makes it easier to play and march together. It costs approximtely $250,000 to send the band to an away game, including two Chartered jets. So they are a little picky about which away games they will go to. They always go to the bowl game that the football team gets to play in. And if the Michigan game is away,they will go to that. The Marching Band is sort of hybrid program of the University: The School of Music provides the program and faculty, and the Athletic Dept. provides the funding. (This may have changed since my latest info.) Hope you all enjoyed this. Some of my numbers may be off a bit but you get the idea.

You two are precious. America is lucky to have you live here

I knew I liked you two! I was part of this show! As I recall, this was practiced for 2 weeks. The dinosaur formation was actually put in an iPad commercial. We're actually one of the smaller bands in America at 228 (we only march 192 and the others are alternates). If you're looking for more, I'd recommend the 2012 Video Game show. It was the first viral video we had. There was also an NFL performance in Wembley Stadium in 2015. Marching band is an official class of the university. We have voluntary practice sessions two days a week from June to August. Tryouts are 4 days for candidates and then 2 more with all returning members. No one is guarantees to make the band once they've made it. We do 2 hours of practice M-F. If you want to see how something like this all comes together, and what comes after, they have a documentary that goes from Summer tryout practice to the bowl game. I think 2018 is the year, 141st edition of the band. I'll add links of some of our vest hits. It makes me quite happy that these shows are still entertaining people after almost 10 years.

The people leaving the field at the start of the video are the visiting team's band members. I am a 1988 graduate of the Ohio State University. I did not play in the band but am a huge fan of The Best Damn Band In The Land (TBDBITL). They draw out their show schemes using computer animation and then each band member has an ipad which they mount on their instruments during practices so that they can follow exactly where they need to be. The band is very competitive and any band member can be challenged for their spot in the band in any given week. The band does their entire pregame and halftime show across the street at St. John Arena before they go into the stadium to perform. The St. John Arena performance is called the Skull Session and it is a must see event if you have any interest in the band. I call a football Saturday at Ohio State an 8 hour band concert with football during the intermission.

Above all college bands stands the professionals in Drum Corps International (DCI). Those shows are next level, but the performers are still college age. Lots of groups in DCI to check out, theyll truly blow your mind.

I am in Mansfield, Ohio and both my son and i attended Ohio Stare. You have just watched TBDBTL! That is, the best damned band in the land! They are all of that and yes they are all students at the school. They are the best that Ohio has to offer. The students are all called Buckeyes and i am so proud to be one!

You made an excellent choice of marching bands to feature. I have been a fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes for sixty years. Their band touts itself as "The Best Damn Band in the Land." Your choice of halftime show came against its main rival, whose name OSU's most famous coach, Woody Hayes, would not even say, referring to the rival as "That school up north." The most important band displays are its "Ramp Entrance" onto the field and its later nationally famous, "Script Ohio," in which the always moving band spells out the word 'Ohio," with the honored sousaphone player finishing it off by "Dotting the 'I' with two bows. I link an example of the ramp entrance followed by Script Ohio in a pre-game performance against that school up north four years ago. You'll see the energy of the Buckeye fans, precision of the band, and singing of the school fight song at the end of Script Ohio. It's always the last game in the regular season schedule and can be quite cold. In my opinion, this is Middle America at its best. Note the role of the drum major and the rise in cheers just before the Dotting of the I. Enjoy and Go Buckeyes!!!! Go Scarlet and Gray!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vag6HPm9q3g.html (21 minutes --2016 game vs. the school up north; closer view) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JI5bKX9wx6Q.html (17 minutes - 2018 game vs. the school up north, longer view)

There's just this nice wholesomeness about you two 😊 just really brings out a smile in me. Good on you two for the great content

I was in my high school marching band for 4 years and it's all about memorization. The music and your place on the field by remembering how many counts you have to get from one place to the other. University level usually learns a new show every week which is INCREDIBLE!!

As someone who lived in Columbus, Ohio and has been to OSU games. They change everything weekly. It's incredible to watch them. GO BUCKEYES!!!!!

Awesome video. The OSU band came over to London I think in 2015 with the NFL - check that video out too. The mind blowing thing is they do a different show every week during the season.

The Fighting' Texas Aggie Band, is the greatest band in all the land. Actually there's a lot of great college marching bands in the US but I'm a graduate from Aggie-Land.

Buckeye here. The Band is as much of a pride as our American football team. It is called TBDBITL for a reason!!! I saw the Rush tribute and the Top Gun tribute last season. Simply amazing in person. You guys need to watch the Script Ohio too.

i was a color guard captain in high school and it was one of my favorite things in the world. i love watching marching band shows!! so much work goes into it

It's simply called a "baton," thrown by the guy in the red suit, called the "Drum Major." Those of us who currently attend OSU, as well as those of us who graduated from Ohio State, take as much pride in the marching band as we do our sports teams. TBDBITL forever!

I'm from CA and our high school ages 14-18. Our school had over 450 band members. My graduating class in high school was 1000. Cheers.

The Ohio State University football stadium seats over 100,000 fans. This team back in the day was a college powerhouse. Very successful. Thank you two!!!!!!!! I believe you are referring to the drum major. His entrance to the stadium is unreal. Take care. Yes the band members are students. They invest many hours to practice. Maybe this is why they are so darn good.

For OSU the Michael Jackson one is good, the London one is good, there is even a video game theme one too. Texas A&M band is good as well for their precision but is less entertaining.

I was in a collegiate marching band, and I'll say this: there's a reason why The Ohio State Marching Band is called The Best Damn Band in the Land

My daughter was in Marching Band in high school. They practiced the entire month of August, 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. When school started they practiced 3 days a week for 2 hours after school. Plus practicing and memorizing the music. It is hard work on top of school and they love doing it. They performed every weekend for the school football games in the fall. They also took part in Marching Band competitions . Sometimes there was a game and a competition on the same Saturday. Good times.

Kids typically start learning their instruments in sixth grade with marching starting to become the focus in 9th grade. The marching bands usually perform at every home game, both from the stands and on the field during half time. My niece plays french horn/mellophone and trumpet in her marching band and it is an incredible thing to witness a group of kids learning and growing and coming together to put on shows in just a matter of days.

Even High Schools in the US have big halftime shows .and go to field band competitions .I was in a competing field marching band at the High School level its tons of work every night and most weekends they recruit to the universities too .You should react to more university bands ..but also drum corps international .

At the college/University level, all the folks in the band are on music scholarships and are headed to careers as musicians or music teachers/instructors...so these are the best of the best from High School bands

Thanks for showing. The Visiting Teams Band Performs 1st. It takes so many hours of practice to put on a show like this. The sad thing is, when they Televise the Game they don’t show these Kids Hard Work. Band is an awesome group of Kids. I was in Marching Band myself for 5 years. Never went to College though. Most Colleges have hundreds of Band Members. Thanks for sharing!

I was in a major university marching band many years ago. We didn’t have the luxury of computer-designed animated drills, but our era pioneered the change from military style shows to flowing, freeform drills. I remember rehearsals for the first arcs on the field. We had ski ropes measured to length, used as giant compasses to set the alignment. As a brass instrument player, I got to experience the thrill of creating that huge, exhilarating sound. No video can reproduce the sheer visceral feel of a large university band playing at maximum power. It’s incredible to do it and incredible to hear out front. I remember as a freshman the first rehearsal in the stadium. After the last note of a song was released, this shockwave echo returned from the stands and it was almost physical in its impact. Then the first halftime with the stadium full...the crowd absorbed much of the echo, but instead you heard the roar of cheering after that last note. Then you realized you’d better focus, because the next whistle was coming and you’d best not forget where you had to move. We had a unique and quite emotional harmonization of the Star Spangled Banner. I remember those pregame shows when we shook the concrete-“Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave....”- and the crowd was on its feet singing. Wow. I remember playing an exhibition at a high school band contest. The HS bands were seated in a fairly small HS stadium. We took the field, hit the first note, and in one body the HS kids leapt up and cheered. The sound was an irresistible force in that stadium. We all but knocked the bleachers down. They didn’t stand out of interest or respect. They stood because it compelled them to, an involuntary response. Such fun. We learned a new drill for each home game, all new music and marching. We did it in six hours weekly of rehearsal plus a Saturday morning warmup rehearsal at the stadium. And yes, just ordinary students. About half music majors, half anything else. My wife’s then-roommate was an accounting major who marched.

Yeah, OSU has a great band. In Texas, Texas A&M is known for its military marching style, and the small private SMU has a small volunteer jazz style band called " the best-dressed band." SMU will change outfits during the game.

Remember, they are playing instruments while marching and forming all these shapes.

There are hundreds of marching bands in the States that all put on fantastic shows. College "football weekends" are memories one never forgets. ours began with pregame brunch, then the game, then the all night party afterwards!

They are students that are in the university band. Many are offered scholarships to be in the band. The band is part of their school day. Each school performs during halftime break of the game. The first crowd you saw was the other school marching off after performing.

As many have said. I hope ya'll check out the Texas A & M University band. Especially the final performance of their 2017 class: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqksWMocu5c.html They are an unofficial military academy , but I think that may be why their marching so amazing.

Truly amazing. I would also highly recommend the Blue Devils Marching Band Show: Metamorph. It was their featured show in 2017 in which they won the Drum Corps. International. It truly displays the uniformity and musicality required of the musicians and color guard. It would be amazing to see your opinion especially after this reaction. Here is a link to the full show: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FO6d8zDf1Hg.html and one to a highlight of a solo in the show: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XJlQ4XmkFaw.html . Can't wait to see more content from you guys.

Those kids work so hard! Everyone stays for THEIR halftime shows!!!

I lived in Lewisburg, PA (home of Bucknell University) for many years and there was a "Battle of the Bands" at the University's Memorial Stadium in the summers. The perennial winners were the Hawthorne Caballeros from Hawthorne, NJ. They put on a spectacular show!

As a Buckeye fan and an Ohio born native, they are THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND! There isn’t anyone in the business better than this band.

Check out the Texas aggies marching band. While I’d say Ohio is more “fun”, Texas A&M is waaay more technically precise. They look like some sort of fractal machine of geometrical madness when they get going.

The leader/conductor is called the drum major, it is a huge honor to be picked as drum major.

I'm from Ohio originally! The marching band is one of the best in the US. I'm glad you two enjoyed it.

Honestly, I would absolutely love to see Ohio State University band to have a Super Bowl themed show like this. At least for one Super Bowl halftime show

If you enjoyed this one, check out the Texas A&M University Aggies marching band. Fantastic!

The band are all students. There is just as much competition to get in the band as the football team! Ohio State is my favorite! I saw another video of this and where lines of the band were marching thru each other at full March and no collisions. It's amazing.

The 'field director' is called the drum major. In this band, he carries a large baton called a mace. There is a large bulb on the top, making it an uneven weight. The fact that he can throw it and catch it is amazing.

Hello there 😊 Ohio here and I love that you guys were able to check us out! we are the best damn band in the land! OH-IO!

Love my Ohio State Buckeyes! The Guy in the middle twirling the Baton is called the Drum Major.

Alabama fan here , there's lots of great bands at every school, personally Ohio state I think is the best . Love you guys,God bless

Marching band is more than a band, we are family. I would fight till the end for all my buddies in marching band(except one). The leader of a marching band is the drum major

My High School Marching Band performed like this. Obviously not on this scale or level as a university, but we did it at football games during halftime and also we went to competitions. It was a blast. I was a cheerleader too, so I had to rush to change into my band uniform, perform at halftime, then back into my cheerleading outfit to cheer for the second half. The band practiced a lot!!

Loved being in marching band in high school! A lot of hard work, but it was so much fun!

My husband was in the USC Marching Band in the 80s and they are fantastic. I got to watch them at their reunion a few years ago. There are marching band shows and competitions online. It’d be worth your time to check them out. ✌🏻👍🏻

So happy to see you react to this! I’ve been working at Ohio State University for the last 17 years. We are so proud of our marching band! I can hear them practicing when I leave work in the evening. It is truly amazing how they do all those maneuvers whist playing their instruments!

Ohio State University has 61,000 students. Most colleges and universities have a marching band. In fact, many high schools in America have marching bands as well.

My family grew up doing marching band. It takes a year to mesmerize the music and learning the show. There are marching band competitions throughout the span of a school year working all the way up to nationals! I can recommend some amazing shows if anyone is interested.

Come on over to Columbus, Ohio Beesley’s! Ohio State THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND! It’s amazing to see. Over 100,000 in the stadium, 5th largest stadium in the world!

Im from Delaware Ohio (about 30 min from Columbus) and my old band teacher is now ohio states marching band head conductor and a couple of friends played in the band. They are the holy grail of college marching bands, aka TBDBITL
