Ohio State Marching Band - "The best damn band in the land" - dotting the i - prior to the 2009 USC game - and Frank Cosenza about his long time dream of "Dotting the i"
I'll bet at the time, Frank Cosenza was upset that the cameraman spoiled his moment. However, it has gone down as one of the most memorable moments in OSU marching band history, and he was part of it.
Well, that was a cool performance, but the cameraman ruined it for Frank Cosenza. OSU sent ESPN a bill for damage to the sousaphone Frank Cosenza was playing.
i’m not american. i didn’t even know what “dotting the i” even was until 5 minutes ago. so tell me why this has made me tear up??? he must’ve worked so hard!! that must be such an honour
Man, no bigger honor for a sousaphone player than to dot the i. I'm a Georgia fan and grad but I haven't seen a better marching band than OSU. More than the music, which is excellent, are their formations. Being a member of even an ordinary marching band is hard work, I know from experience, so I can only imagine the hard work that the OSU band goes through. I get goosebumps and not even an OSU fan (I'm neutral).
The OSU band is lame compared to what goes on at Texas A&M. The meatgrinders they do blow OSU out of the water. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqksWMocu5c.html
Matthew Miller that’s kinda rude, but i can’t imagine it’s too hard for them 100bpm... that drill looks impressive but it’s not too difficult if you keep the right spacing. don’t hate on other because they’re “lame” by your standards.
Kudos To Frank Cosenza for all the hard work and dedication of getting to that Dream! We have watched this many times to see the enthusiasm this young man has, others should follow. We wish you all the best Frank in what ever you do in life. Keep following the dream cuz you can make it happen!! Salute and Blessings!
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DID THAT!!!!! That camera man could have hurt the sousaphone ;) People need to learn not to get near marching band member during shows, especially the drum line and sousaphones.
Im a michigan fan here but i wanna dot the i once looks so fucking awesome go michigan go blue go bucks go ohio state have tremendace amoount of respect for ohio state and michigan:-)
Ah yes one of the great traditions of college football. Its up there with the eagles fly over at Auburn, More cowbell at Mississippi State, Planting the Speqr at Florida state, West Virginia singing country roads, and last but not least making fun of Xichigan for claiming national championships from before WW2 and the AP poll
All the cameraman was trying to do was help a tuba player get his 15 mins of fame. To tell the truth the tuba player may have extended his 15 mins of fame to 30 mins by hitting the cameraman.
OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT HE DID THAT! that camera man could have hurt his sousaphone ;) the really need to learn not to get anywhere near marching band members, especially the sousaphones and drum line.
I'm a big LSU fan. But have always appreciated watching this band do this. It's a cool tradition. But still the The Golden Band from Tigerland is the best.
camera man knows better than that, man..... shooting for college football? OSU being continually in the championship hunt? probably shot hundreds of big 10 games.... you know how "dotting the i" goes... don't get so damn close.
