Ohio State Marching Band GoPro Experience

When you drop your mouse in a game 9:46

This vid should be called "Being tall experience".

It’s the fact that I NEVER saw any of them out of step. That is the most impressive part.

The vocal callouts are what have my attention. I marched through high school, and would have marched in uni if I went through with it. That there is the difference between a band that’s “good for their age” and one that’s genuinely amazing. The coordination and confidence is unmatched. So many kids are afraid to vocalize on the field when they start out. Hearing all the little time keepers like the step, kick, kneel or even a simple audible countdown is so refreshing. It keeps not only the caller in time, but the whole group on the same page. Like the call of whistle at the very start, calling the whole band to attention and starting the pace at the same time… it’s such a little detail that needs more appreciation. Also damn those turns are sharp. Every one is so clean and snappy and just brilliantly executed.

So this is what being in a talented marching band looks like

Girls locker room: Ew I'm so tired, wanna go eat? Boys locker room:

For those who aren't in highschool yet but still in band. NEVER QUIT BAND don't give up. It's so worth it in highschool. Im in my sophomore year and I'm in band and I never thought I could say this but I'm in love with marching band it's one of the things that make me the happiest and I'm sad I didn't get the a real season last year.

Old drummer here. It's been 15 years since I've felt goosebumps for the reasons only those who've taken to the field in a matching band like this know well. I caught myself keeping time and counting steps multiple times. Thank you for the buzz and high.

For a person who knows nothing about marching bands this dope asf

Man didn't know the Ohio State marching band acted like football players XD

So that's what the percussionists do! They sing lol. I'm just a trumpet

Watching this makes me want to go to Ohio State just to attempt to try out for the band after my military contract is up. I have watched this like 100 times and still get blown away by just how precise everyone is, and how such a large band manages to stay perfectly in step and keep the same tempo

Having been a "Band Dad" for the past 17 years with the American Fork Marching Band, in American Fork UT, I can say that this is the culmination of of years of hard work. Great job! (BTW, we put 5 children through the AFHS Marching Band and 3 children through BYU Marching Band) Countless hours of practice, countless oboe reeds, etc. God Bless!

“Why do you like Ohio state so much” M A R C H I N G B A N D

“I was on muscle memory for a while there” i feel it buddy

much respect to everyone in this band. Marching, playing an instrument, and singing for 20 minutes. Wow, amazing job.

Damn. That’s all I gotta say. The coordination, the marching, the music, all phenomenal.

Football team: exists Bands: *fight song* 👁👄👁

That trombone kills me he just snapped his neck for the sake of a visual

Being a former marching band member myself…. This brings back some fun memories and fun times. You guys are awesome

Band is a cult

Alternative Title: “Going undercover to reveal that the OSU band is actually Robots”

Mom graduated from here as a nurse around 1947. You cannot be a child of a Buckeye without becoming somewhat of a Buckeye yourself.

As a Buckeye fan since birth ,50 years ago. I have never seen the band from that perspective. I'm just seeing this in 2022 mid season and I absolutely loved it. Honestly I'm sitting here crying tears of pride. Buckeye pride that runs deep in my bones, in my heart and mind. So thank you so very much for doing this video. GO BUCKEYES.

@1:57 entrance was mad hype though. Clean asf.

Can we talk about how nice his voice actually is? Like thats good singing!

Probably one of the most disciplined bands I've ever seen. They are amazing!

that first call out gave me chills i watched that part so many times

Look at the army of sousaphones

If only RU-vid had the “ Applause Button”.

I hope you know how amazing it’s going to be years from now to look back and remember this. This put tears in my eyes. My dad was in this marching band and dotted the “i” twice. In 1962 because they didn’t have a senior to do it. And then again in 1963, as a senior.

Absolutely love hearing the different instruments stand out as you pass them, what an experience it must be to be part of this!

Me: wanting that in germany too Also me: remembering the last time germany was marching--> big oof

13:12 the two perfectly synchronized refs

as some one who goes to high school in Australia and does band in Australia, this is so cool to me, like how guys can keep a steady sound while walking and make formations and all that, it kinda makes me with we had big footy games and marching bands here in Aus

I still come back to this video from time to time. My favorite POV video for sure!

Everyone: how high do you want this camera Me: yes

4:23 I was so weak that dude came out of no where 😂😂

Deyymm it brings back memories. That feeling of performing in the crowd is very priceless and unforgettable

This brought back many memories of marching in my college band in the late 70's. I played bass trombone and it was great to march along on the field with this great band. Thanks for taking us on a trip down memory lane! Glad you guys only had to do a glide step and not a high step. Every eight steps I saw everyone's instep hitting the yardline and in step - that is impressive!

My band kneeling at all: WE ARE TIRED AND WE CANT GET BACK UP IN ENOUGH TIME. This band:

As a person who always threatened in high school to make a tshirt that said "Game? What game? I'm here for the BAND!" thank you for this view. This is freaking amazing.

The instruments sound is amazing throughout the whole band.. plus how when he walks by the diffrent instruments they all could be heard doing an individual part of the song which amplified the song even more. So amazing 😇

This was amazing. I played quads and base and cymbals in high school. The memories this brings. Thank you for the view!

4:23 me running to the kitchen when i hear the food is ready

trumpet players: *Viciously yanks trumpet in the air almost breaking their own neck in and effort to turn* me: :0000 me: they look like their playing mine craft and are swerving their mouse all over the table

Watching the shadows in 11:53 is insane. They are all in exact time, marching and playing perfectly. Truly amazing!

I've seen these guys in person for a marching band competition. Insanely talented group!

glitched NPCs in GTA be like: 18:55

*person who calls them "band nerds" has left the chat*

Ryan, I just found your videos, and god DAMN, man, this sent chills up my spine. I never made it into Ohio State's band, but my high school band experience was as great as it was because of the OSUMB. My high school band director went to OSU and made it into the band. He played tuba, and if I remember correctly, he dotted the 'i' as a 5th-year senior. Huge deal for a black man in the 1970s! Everything we did, from Three Camps and Cadence One for pregame to "Whistle!" to "Halt, Kick, Down, Rest! Don't you move!" was straight up OSUMB. We just did our arm swings on 1 and 5, not 2 and...uh...6? Thanks for letting me relive one of the best times of my life...and live out a dream I'd always had. You rock, man.

WOW !! This video is just amazing. Thank you! I can't imagine how many practices it took to get the band this perfect.

Am I the only one who finds him singing adorable?😂

Why am I even here. I'm in orchestra

Dude watching marching band plays brings me so much joy like it’s pure happiness coming from me that I feel so excited to have an audience the thrill of seeing everyone watching and being nervous but so excited to play is a feeling that I truly treasure I love this feeling so much I love watching these videos cause I imagine myself in these but I’m not sure why that I love this so much

I’m always amazed at the precision of TBDBITL, but the tiny movements are unbelievable…. The turn of the head, the position of the hand, the step-snap. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 I just got a new TBDBITL license plate. So proud!

me: has no musical talent/ has no idea know how to play an instrument also me: "i wanna join a marching band"

LOOK AT THOSE DIAGONALS!!!! We could clean all season and not get them that good

Alumnus class of 1994. What amazes me is that, year after year since 1878, there has been a constant stream of student musicians / performers from all over Ohio, and the US, coming to take the place of student musicians /performers that graduated the year before.... and each new class is every bit as amazing as the last. TBDBITL GO BUCKS!

is it weird that i've been watching a bunch of videos like this of college bands and they're all making me emotional? maybe it's making me realize all the thing's im going to get to experience seeing in my first year of college soon, idk but they make me want to cry in a good way.

17:15 “OPEN FIRE!”

Notice how steady the cam is the whole time, a true glide step. Memories just kept flooding in. I remember being on the field doing the halftime show (not for ohio, lol), the music, the crowd. All those hours of practice to make the show perfect. The pride felt when the show is done. The roar of the crowd afterwards. The emotion, thrill, sense of accomplishment, all there. I was truly honored to be able to experience the moment. Thank-you for bring back those memories. Doubt anyone will see this, just felt it was needed to be said.

I find it amazing how sharp, and precise everything is. The parts where it looks like everyone is going nowhere, they eventually form up again

i’m only a high schooler in marching band.. this looks so cool. so many people in the band and so many people in the audience. everything seemed so hype. this looks awesome 👏🏻👏🏻

Wait.... That was just pregame?

You know his steps be smooth when the camera hardly shakes. #rollstepislife

I love watching how y'all correct your lines. Best in the land for a reason

I just started marching band this just hypes me up so much!!

bro how tall r u ik its on a hat but damn

9:56 When you play snake but your to long

as someone who is in high school marching band, watching this makes me love it even more than i already do

Just marched my first game today! Glad to see this in the recommended!

I wish my high school could be this clean when we’re marching

That entrance must give you guys such an adrenaline rush DRUMS ON THE SIDE Dum dum dum READY TO GO !! I get chills just watching ! Impressive performance you guys rock !

As someone who’s been in the band since 6th(4 years) Tbis is really fun to see and finally people notice how great being in band is😭

damn, why is this video making me so emotional? While this is sort of different, I used to be part of a professional choir and the sheer exhilaration you get from being in an ensemble and singing in front a of a huge audience is incomparable. The music completely envelops your body, like live surround sound- and the satisfaction of putting on a good performance and hearing the applause used to make my eyes water sometimes. Miss those days, this brings me back.

At 9:58 all the tuba players high-five the tuba in the other line who becomes the dot on the "i" in Ohio

I played trombone in the Ohio State University Marching Band in the late 70s. This is the first time I have been able to see the view from the perspective of the musicians on the field since I did it. Such wonderful memories! Thanks for doing this! And I'm glad to see that the band is as great as ever!

I looked this up after i got to march with my high school band as an 8th grader. Safe to say I’m hooked now. TBDBITL for life

This is awesome and impressive how they all stay in sync

It’s funny how at 6:42 they start walking in different directions and it looks like no one knows what their doing but you know it probably looks cool from the stands

Marching bands weird me out cause they’re so in sync

The amount of unity fromthis band is amazing 😭

Damn smooth af. Haven't marched since 2003. Thanks RU-vid recs.

I can’t believe how steady this is, like I understand the GoPro probably digitally stabilizing this but it crazy that at the pace you match and it looks like a dolly shot

When the teacher says pick a partner 13:50

I saw yall in person right next to my marching band back in the fiesta bowl !!! I was fangirling sm I love you guys :]

I missed this, i really did. Marching and performing, god i really do miss it. Thanks for sharing.

That was the cleanest turn ever. Mmmm so fresh so CLEAN

pfffft whats football, an excuse for half-time??

I just joined marching band in highschool. I had no idea what I was signing up for in middle school!! I'm so happy I joined thought, the feeling after our show makes me so happy and I cried when we won first place in our class

This is by far the coolest vid i‘ve seen in 2021 so far and it‘s already march

This brings a bit of nostalgia. I performed on this field with my hs band for the 2016 buckeye invitational during my sophomore year. I remember looking out of the smaller tunnel and being absolutely awestruck by the size of the stadium. I’ll never forget it

9:46 dude spazzing out

Wow! That was incredible. Lots of hard work and practice makes it look so easy. Well Done Best Damn Band in the Land.

I got tired and out of breath just watching these talented athletes!
