Brits React to Ohio State Marching Band London Show 

I live in Ohio!! We love our OSU Buckeyes and the OSU Marching Band!! BEST BAND IN THE LAND!!! O-H-I-O!!!!!!!!!!💯🔥🎉🎉

Wembley is smaller than the stadium they’re used to playing in by like 12,000 seats. American college football has the largest stadiums in the world.

Americans are in awe of their performances as well.

13:01 The "script ohio" is a famous tradition of the marching band. It's considered an honor to dot the "i". It's their literal signature move and they've been doing it since 1936.

The Ohio signature is just 'Ohio', but the more impressive part is how they cross lines while moving, over and over, without running into each other. It requires PRECISE timing, over and over.

FYI, yes, Wembly is the biggest capacity stadium in the UK and second biggest in Europe, but when you say how "absolutely massive" it is, just keep in mind that this band's home university stadium is bigger. Wembly: 80-90k Ohio Stadium : >100k There are 11 stadiums in the US bigger than Wembly, the UK's largest. So, Americans won't be as impressed by the size of Wembly as a Brit might expect.

The reason they can get into and out of formation so quickly is because they march on their toes at 180 beats per minute and it has been known to reach 200 or higher. Also, the final formation was not part of the London "half-time" presentation. It is "Script Ohio" which is Ohio State University Marching Band's signature. It is performed at every football game the band performs at either home or away. It can be pre-game, post-game and sometimes at half-time like at this show. It was the first script writing formation ever performed and has been going strong since 1932.

The tongue logo is The Rolling Stones yall :p

A little known (over there, anyway) and less important fact is that the guy in red and white is called the drum major, and serves as a sort of roving time keeper, as well as putting on his own show twirling a baton.

You commented on there movement and stanima to march and play their instruments. As we speak , the Osu band has Summer Camp where prospective members learn to march train to build up their stanimia for the tryouts for the auditions that the students go thru to try and secure 244 positions. They usually have 450 try out for the marching band.

The old London Bridge is in Lake Havasu, Arizona. It was purchased and each brick and part numbered and reassembled in Havazu.

Born and Bred a Buckeye!!! Go Buck's!!!! O-H-

I think the reason for the US flag on the London Bridge is because the old London Bridge is now in the USA

His comment was now that we have shown you what we have in common we are going to show you a long standing tradition in college football - the famous "Script OHIO" - this is done at every pre-game at OSU Stadium - we are the ONLY band that does this - and every time a senior tuba (sousaphone) player get to "dot the I" in Ohio! This is The Ohio State University Marching Band!! This is our tradition!! They are singing the OSU Fight Song!! You need to take him on a tour of London!! I've never been there and I recognized them! LOL So cute! Oh ya, and thanks for London Bridge which is now in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (I have seen that!!)

Wembley Stadium holds 90.000, Ohio State University’s stadium holds 102,780, Ohio Stadium is the fourth largest on-campus facility in the nation.

the tongue belongs to the rolling stones album. This is about the British invasion in the1960's. Kiss was an AMERICAN '70s glam band

As an American who's familiar with London, I'm sorry I'm going to have to correct the Brits here at @8:25, but that was Tower Bridge and not London Bridge in the formation. Lol.

It’s the Ohio State University Band and football team visiting !! That’s why!!

I really appreciate our special relationship! It's like no other 2 countries on earth.

Much respect to our closest friend and ally, the mother country, Great Britain.

The tongue is “The Rollibg Stones”

My whole life, myself and everyone I knew thought of Brits as our cousins across the pond. We never saw your people as anything other than family, never an enemy or competitor. My family five or so generations ago hailed from an area Southwest of London, so really we are in fact distant cousins, which is probably what the master of ceremony was eluding to, about what we have in common - our blood.

My lip would be blown (as a brass player, that means my lips would be swollen and unable to make more sound) at the end of each halftime show I ever performed in marching band. Such a fun and rewarding experience.

The common history is marching band its self. That was tower bridge with the two flags on it

The Ohio script is their signature

I really enjoy the hell out of hanging-out with you guys... I'll think up something good for yall to react to soon.

The tongue is not from KISS it's Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones.

They are the Ohio State Marching Band, hence 'Ohio'.

The Ohio State marching band is excellent at what they do.... done of course in the "show band" style which most college marching bands are... I think you should also check out The Fightin' Texas Aggie Band... the largest "military style" marching band in the world. Just like Ohio State does some incredibly awesome things you shouldn't miss the Aggie Band performing their "four way cross" and/or senior day performances...

I've walked across the old London Bridge at Lake Havasu City, Arizona!

Sheesh, that's not a giant trumpet, it's a tuba! 27 lbs of brass. I know, I carried one for 6 years.

Graduate of Ohio State. Going to the football games was my favorite on Saturday in Columbus.

Wow, “I don’t think he’s from London”. But yet you called Tower Bridge, “London Bridge”. Are you sure you guys a from England? I’m American and I know that is not London Bridge.

I think you both would enjoy videos showing the college football culture here in the US -- best team entrances, best atmospheres, etc. Itis insane and I've noticed that non-Americans are mind-blown when they see how schools, fans, teams, GO ALL OUT.

Question: Where is the Ohio State Band from? Take your wildest guess...LOL.

I love the fact you think so much about America we are brothers and sisters from across the pond we have a special bond like with no other nations like with UK but to really feel it for yourself you Must come here I suggest spending time in the south and opening up on your second trip Fat Momma or Momma fats restaurant great name I will come!! Becoming a being a British American or not is your destiny ! I see it in you eyes if possible follow your dreams you are a beautiful couple and I enjoy watching you videos keep them coming

Not KISS, man! the Rolling Stones! "I can't get no satisfaction!" come on, dude! It is Ohio in script, the share part was the types of bands and one type plying off of/borrowing from the other. Ohio spelled in script is something the Best Damn band in the Land! does fairly often... hence iconic. Ohio State Band - the Best Damn Band in the Lant - which is why the NFL had them be there!

This is the reason why they are named " The Best Damn Band In The Land "

As a veteran of marching bands, it's all about musical ques. At this point of the song, I need to be standing on this part of the field. And Football with all those lines, make it so easy to do. Then you memorize the music and movements and voila! You have a football march band halftime routine. Parades can be harder. That's a marathon. Halftime is easy. It's only 15 minutes. Making the routines, that's hard. Doing them? Pretty easy. I find it pretty hilarious that people are amazed by this. Grant it IS amazing, but it isn't hard. For marching bands, parades like Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is insane. People drop like flies. In my younger years I did this and it would be cool to do it except: a) I'm from Michigan, and is obligated to hate everything Ohio. and... b) It's a brass band. I played the flute. Sadness.

The music was Satisfaction and tongue was for Mick Jager (Rolling Stones). Are you sure you guys are British??😁😁😁

That isn’t the London Bridge, it is the Tower Bridge.

For the Ohio state university. Script ‘Ohio’ is a very famous tradition for college football in the US for this team to spell the word Ohio. The script Ohio is very popular amongst Ohio state fans. It literally has the name of one of the states in the US which is Ohio. I know that due to me living in the very state of Ohio.

Check out Japanese precision walking.

Fun y, I thought you you have been tearing up by now. Wow🇺🇲I guess some of us Americans are just sappy when it comes to democracy and our fighting man.

A senior Sousaphone player usually dots the i. The former celebrities to dot the i are100 year old grad Anthony Violi, coaches Earle Bruce and Woody Hayes, boxer Buster Douglas, entertainer Bob Hope, golf champion Jack Nicklaus, school president's Gordon Gee and Novice Fawcett, astronaut John Glenn and wife Annie.

Yass is probably from one of the 18 cities or communities in the USA named London 🤔 😅

Hi Yass & Fats A great half time show in Ohio and I live in Arizona and our state has the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City because it was sinking into the Thames and couldn't support the weight of modern vehicles? but why did they move it $$$ I wonder?

It's OHIO at 11:30!

It says Ohio in cursive, it wasn’t what we have in common it was sharing something from Ohio

I might be just a silly American but at 8:35, I do believe that is Tower Bridge and not London Bridge. Fun fact, however, the original London Bridge is now in Arizona.

That is the Band of Ohio State University.

The London Bridge is in ARIZONA.

I am not sure either one of you are from Britain. 😂 Doesn't London Bridge cross the Thames as part of the A3? What they did was Tower Bridge.

I could very well be wrong but I'm sure he's pretty sure that's the Tower Bridge. If I'm not mistaken London Bridge is now located in Arizona.

It is "God Save Your King" now.

The band is from THE Ohio State University

GO BUCKS!!!!! TBDBITL!!! THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND!!!!!! O-H!!!!!!! -No, he said we share the tradition of British brass bands, now we'll share an American tradition that dates back since 1936 known around the world. Not something shared, they we're sharing it... Script OHIO is our tradition we shared with you Brits...

We are brothers and sister’s

Tower Bridge!

Respect and saute mate

7:53 She’s right 😂

OHIO, script Ohio

God Save the Queen

O H I O State University......................Script O H I O

Tower bridge?

I think the one song is now "God save the King", though I still want to say Queen.

You guys should react to drum corps international

We Americans Have So Much Respect For The Brits 🇬🇧🍺🇺🇸🎶🎶😎

Wasn't ohio a loyalist state under Cornwallis?

London Bridge showing united front

First - That’s the Tower Bridge, for all you who think it’s the London Bridge.The London Bridge is in the US, and has been for quite some time. The Tower Bridge is by the Tower of London. Second - the end is the script Ohio, something the Ohio State University band has been doing since the 1930’s. They are very proud of their script Ohio, and choose seniors to dot the “I” in Ohio. I don’t know how long they can keep it going, since nobody can read script (cursive) anymore. 😆 Third - I’m guessing here, but the Tower Bridge with both flags is to show the friendship between our two, I guess I should say “people’s” since the UK is comprised of more than one country. Not to denote something we have in common.

Ohio

GO BLUE! HAIL to the Victors!

RIP mum❤️🙏😇

Says Ohio

They should've done some ship's or movies for the kid's

too bad they are doing the beatles

Once again the announcer ruins everything

The announcer said the Ohio State marching band was formed in 1878 and carried the tradition of the oldest British brass bands, which began in 1809. The "Script Ohio" is the signature move of the band and they perform it every week before the kickoff of the university football games.

As an alumnus of tOSU , I have to thank you for paying respect to our university's band!!! 🇬🇧

That's a tuba ,not a giant trumpet.

Why do we go to someone else's country and play music that they hear all the time or show them a bus they see everyday🤷🏼‍♂️

It is called Script Ohio! They had already finished the part of the program that connected U.S. and the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

I grew up watching the band do all kinds of fantastic routines. They are definitely a huge part of the culture of Columbus Ohio; the same as the college football team. The Alumni Band, as well as former player on the teams throughout the years, are huge draws at charitable events--we honor them quite a lot. Their sort of unofficial nickname is "TBDBITL" which means, "The Best Damned Band In The Land". One other little thing; the band members movements are extremely well coordinated; from their chop-like arm-swings, to their diced-minced steps. Oh, and yes, the Zuzsaphone player dotting the eye is a tradition honoring whoever dot's the "I". In their home stadium, there's usually 110,000 people seeing those guys be stationed there, not including the millions watching on TV. We've had many non-band members honored by dotting the I; world leaders, civic leaders, entertainers, former players and coaches. Dotting the I is a bag deal to this subset of Ohio Culture! I didn't think I'd have this much to say; but they are the best marching band in the world.

Script Ohio will forever give me goose bumps. OH !

Ohio. They're from Ohio.

didn't anyone notice that "big ben" ran backwards when they turned the clock back to 1965 then forward when they returned to 2015?

I think the shared tradition he referred to for script Ohio was the marching tradition based on history of British marching bands.

O H I O

It is ohio spelled in script form. The announcercstated this is a trademark of the band

"Best damn band in the land!"

13:10 It's a sousaphone, which has similarities to a tuba in sound, but it's in the euphonium branch of the brass instruments. A senior player (4th or 5th year) is chosen for the honour to "dot the i".

11:41 lol. They already told you, it's "Script Ohio". It's joined writing.

7:57 I believe it's a representation of the coat of arms of the Royal Family.

Buckeye Alumni here. TBDBITL. The Best Damn Band In The Land. O-H!

GO BLUE!

It wasn’t KISS, it was The Rolling Stones album cover. The tongue.

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol you def got a lot of stamina to do what they're doing. Lots and lots of practice and staying in good shape

Tower Bridge - not London Bridge, I believe.
