OSU MARCHING BAND Halftime Show Reaction ( 

I am a Wolverine from Michigan, and Ohio State has been a decades old rival, but I can say that Ohio State Marching Band is 2nd to none!!!! I have never seen one better!!!!! Props to Ohio State Marching Band, and their Choreography Instructors and Dept., as well as all tof the endless hours You all had to put in each performance!!!! And Kudos to you for saying what I thought, "It was fantastic!!!" Amen!

I'm from Ohio. This is my husband's and kid's favorite college team. I'm a fan of OSU's rival team...Michigan Wolverines. A few kids I graduated with went on to OSU and was in that band years ago. I can't stand OSU, but their band is amazing.

OSU is one of the best collegiate marching bands in the world. Their choreography is unmatched. This vid is a favorite for sure. Thanks for the reaction Lyle!

You should watch a video that shows the OSU Marching Band's ramp entrance and their signature Script Ohio. I've watched Script Ohio more than 100 times. It never gets old.

The tribute to Top Gun and superhero movies are phenomenal. :)

This is amazing!

Mind-blowing!!! Perfect for the gaming in you!!! Happy New year!!!

We used to do these type of shows when I was in high school (grades 9-12) on a smaller scale. I believe we only had 150 band members in my Senior year. Many hours of music practice and marching practice. In the beginning of the school year, we would start a month before school start doing 3 practices per day, every week day.

To play music while doing all those different movements for so many different scenarios is mind blowing. I was in marching band in high school & glad to have made majorette, so I didn't have to learn all that craziness (I played clarinet). LOL I was up in front of that madness instead. This band is amazing & I love how they took down Michigan's flag at the end. I live in Michigan & we have a daughter who lives in Ohio. The schools are big rivals & it cracks me up when they do something to our flag every time, we play them. LOL So fun. Retaliation is sweet. tee hee the last video I watched of them on RU-vid, they had Michael Jackson moon walking. Frigging amazing!

They are the best damn band in the land. We love our marching bands

Loved it!

BTW, David Phelps has a new release out. "Don't Save It For Christmas". Wonderful song and great message, as always! Thought you might want to check it out!

PATROL NATION - Check out Ohio State Marching Band at Wembley Stadium. A+++

I watched football with my dad when I was a kid & it was always a bonus to watch the marching bands. The NFL stopped televising that part of the game so the sports casters could have their moment on tv & I always hated that....I wanted to watch the band.

Thank you we love are BDBITL. Best damn band on the land and our Ohio State Football team and etc

You need to watch their tribute to Michael Jackson. It great.

I gotta warn you...theres as many of these as there were Bob Seager songs...( which I watched every single reaction too and the final where you listed your favorites...made me laugh when you said there's no 2 that are the same..good stuff )...but you gotta check out more of these...Hollywood blockbusters , Micheal Jackson , Disney, Top Gun , Rush..( yes the band )...from Wembley Stadium heros of 9/11...

They practice around 30 hours a week. Minimum.

Do the OSU Michael Jackson one.

BDBITL !!!

The Best Damn Band In The Land! Ohio State Marching Band is second to none. Love their halftime shows.

I can't imagine the number of hours practicing to achieve this. I admire band members who can march and play at the same time. Fantastic.

TBDBITL is their nickname...love my Buckeyes ❤️ Thanks Lyle for showcasing my home state..You need to do their movie one next 😁

They aren't called The Best Damn Band In The Land for nothing. You really should watch more of their videos.

My favorite is the one with Michael Jackson! Thanks for doing this one, Lyle! I had not seen it before.

The blue M is for University of Michigan OSU's "evil" rival. {Michigander here, I support neither MSU nor Michigan State}. OSU marching band is one of the best.

I'm a huge fan of marching groups, and these guys and gals really put a ton into their performance. I can't remember if it was them but them or someone similar had a Micheal Jackson show. Totally awesome. Happy New Year :) XOXO

Marching band was the best part of school, I loved it!

Aren't they something!!! Thanks for watching.....Go Buckeyes! ARMY grandma

Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!!! The horse! Pac-Man! Game Over!! Incredible!! An enormous amount of hours went into learning and perfecting that show!! I'd love to see more! And I enjoyed watching your face and your eyes following all of that! Great job, Lyle! Thanks!!!

Nobody puts on a halftime show like the OSU marching band...NOBODY!

Love those marching band videos I went crazy check out a dozen of em and I keep thinking how much mental physical and God given talent it takes to play at that level. Amazing Happy New Year my friend

TBDBITL is not a brag. It's a fact! You should see their Blockbuster Movie show:)

I was in a marching band in high school. In Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas, man. It was a religion. Super fun tho.

Tbdbitl The Best Damn Band In The Land (In case you see a shirt with those letters) and hello from a buckeye

They call OSU's marching band .. TBDBITL PRONOUNCED TUH BIDDLE THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND

Happy New Year!

I did not look thru all the comments but I believe that the band does not have a true indoor facility to practice in and practices outside mostly. They have challenges weekly for the right to march in the halftime shows, because only a certain # are allowed to march.

This show was so spectacular that the designer of the show was promoted within a week. He had been the interim director while OSU searched for a permanent replacement, but this show convinced OSU to give him the job .

College football here is massive the top 15 largest stadiums are all college not nfl.

Awesome. Me and my husband thought pong too,oh well they showed great coordination and execution 🥳

The OSU Marching Band is called The Best Damn Band in the Land (TBDBITL) for a reason. I think you see why.

I was in marching band in high school, and unlike many high school marching bands, we were very large (over 100 members), and we outmatched many college bands (not this one, of course). We did half time shows like this nearly every week during football season, as well as several parades...and many of us were members of other bands as well (as a freshman, I was in 9 different bands all at once). Usually we only had a week to prepare a half time show. We didn't move much during songs at these shows. Usually we'd get into a formation and hold there while we played a song, then we'd get into a different formation, and so on. That was difficult enough. I've often wondered if I ever would've been able to handle what these college bands do. We worked HARD, tho. We received the full respect of the football team because A) the main purpose of a school marching band is to support the football team; and B) because they saw how hard we worked. We'd often have daily rehearsals that began right after school, and didn't end until 8pm (also, marching band rehearsals began during the summer...usually about a month prior to the start of the school year). Our director was great...but demanded perfection, and never went easy on us. We were even subjected to inspections by Marines prior to a parade or other special event. We had to stand at attention while a couple Marines closely examined everyone one by one to ensure our uniforms were spotless with no loose threads hanging on them; our shoes were polished to perfection; and even our instruments had to be clean and polished. If they spoke to us, we had to respond with a shout of "yes, sir!" or "no, sir!", or whatever. It surprises me that marching bands aren't really a thing at sporting events in other countries. The role of marching bands; cheerleaders; etc. is considered vital here in the states...at least at the high school and college level. They serve to not only entertain the crowd, but to pump up the team and keep their spirits high.

I love it when my worlds collide...one of my fave PTX reactors reacting to TBDBITL!!! O-H-I-O!!! GO BUCKEYES!!! Please check out their Top Gun tribute 😁

I care NOTHING about sports. But omg OSU has the best damn band in the land.

Best Dam Marching Band in the Land!!!!!❤

I've watched several Livestreams in the past couple of weeks things went very well Maybe soon you can test the waters a bit. And I'll keep trying to get my Twitch Twiching again 😆 🤣

If you like sports , there is tons of sports videos you can react to.

It is even more amazing as they are playing instruments and produce quality music.

That's my Alma Mater!! Ohio State!! They are known as TBDBITL. The Best Damn Band In The Land!!!

It's The Best Damn Band In The Land!

I'm proud to say, I'm from Ohio...We have the BEST DAMN BAND, IN THE LAND!!! No one, can beat, Ohio State Marching Band!!! Go Buckeyes!!! #Bestdamnbandintheland #1 #GoBuckeyes #OhioStateMarchingBand #One 🎺🥁🎷

Check out university of Tennessee band!!!

Checkout “the North Pole” by Nick Nittoli it’s a great song!

that be mad cool

That is why they are called, "The Best Damn Band In All The Land!" GO BUCKS!! O-H!!

The Livestream you mentioned was the one I requested The Ohio State Marching Band doing TV Land. They are awesome to watch! Glad you have done another Half Time Show by them.

TBDBITL!!!!

You should definitely watch OSU's Hollywood Blockbuster Movies performance; it's AWESOME!!

That brings back some really good memories from high school.❤❤❤❤❤

TBDBITL

You should watch their Hollywood Review and the Tribute to Michael Jackson!!!!!!

Best damn Band in the Land! They practice about 30 hours each week on top of classes, and sometimes jobs too plus they're pretty much all 18-24 y.o.'s! You'd love the "Going to the movies" one...

Happy New Year!! What a wonderful surprise to see an amazing marching band reaction!! My older sister was in marching band for 8 years, high school and college. It takes hours and hours of practice of both the music AND the marching!!!! Thanks you Lyle and Stacy!!!

Hello, Would love to hear your reaction to 2023 Gahr HS Marching Bands “On Top of Spaghetti”

TBDBITL. The Best Damn Band In The Land. OSU marching band played at the NFL halftime show during the Oct 26, 2015 game in London. OH

The Michael Jackson one was the BEST I have EVER SEEN. woukd watch that over any bloated Superbiwl halftime fwiw

I would say something but my mouth is still hanging open! Thank you Stacey!

This is the 2nd video where a flag with a big “M” on it was either lowered or destroyed in some way. Could it be that OSU was playing Michigan, and that it’s a symbolic OSU victory over Michigan? (Don’t remember who is the big rival, Michigan State or U of Michigan). I went to OSU more than 50 years ago. The marching band was great then, but now, WOW!

They are marvelous. So far from my schools marching band. They could play, mostly.

They do this every home football game. Check out Texas A & M band. It’s different kind of show but very impressive. New sub.

I loved marching band. Not at first, but once we got out of summer camp I loved it. We did formations not quite as elaborate as this. We had around 100 in my marching band years which is quite big for a school with around 800 kids.

Y Neil Ce was niece was on Ole Miss color guard. It was intense and they practiced a ton!

I love Ohio states tribute to the armed forces.

the best damn band in the land. i pray for the day they do a final fantasy show

You can just hear by the crowd, NO ONE leaves their seats during halftime!

Just think-they learn a new routine for each home game!!

Check out Hollywood Blockbusters

Often, it is well worth the price of the ticket just to see the Halftime show.

Go Buckeye's!!!!!!! Go Brownies!!!!!!!! I love my Cleveland teams!!!!!!!!

SOOOOOPER!!!! Go Bucks!!! ❤️🩶❤️🩶

OSU and Texas Aggies are the two best bands in college and they are very different

Makes you wonder how the people who made those games and soundtracks all those years ago and in foreign lands would react to seeing stuff like this.

"Fuh fuh fuhfuh-da-puh" -Dashie

They are just AMAZING!

💜

What's your favorite halftime show they have done. Leave me a link or the name of it and we will see if we can get it on the channel 🙂🙂

Hi there Laura.

😁👍

They have so many more. I can't wait for you to see them

Their salute to Hollywood Halftime Show was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! The pirate ship sinking the Xichigan ship was the best part! They are simply Fantastic!!!!!!!

Thanks Lyle! I enjoyed this reaction so much. I'm a huge fan of college marching bands and in particular OSU. Great request Stacey.

The Best Damn Band in the Land. They earned every yardline for that title. Check out the POV for the Ohio dot, if you get a chance.

For a completely different style of marching band, focused less on making shapes as a whole group (though they do that, too) & more on all members dancing/stepping with insane levels of coordination & musicality, you absolutely should check out the HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges & Universities). It's decidedly not my place as a marshmallow human who didn't attend one to rank them, so I'll leave that to HBCU alumni to recommend, but they are unfailingly entertaining & talented. A completely different flavor, and I do mean FLAVOR!!!

The drill designer kind of copied ideas of this show from Cal band's video game show from years earlier but I will forgive Ohio State because they still added a lot of great elements.
