It’s an exhilarating experience. Very empowering. The two are worked on separately and extensively. Typically you don’t want to start learning the March before you’ve got the song memorized. Then, days are typically filled with working on moving from 1 spot to another. You might only get 5 moves down in 2 hours. Tedious but feels and looks great in the end!
Fre Sha Voca Do yeah I understand because during the marching band season we had a 5 hour practice on Tuesday, Thursday, and sometimes Saturday. It was very long and tedious work, but it payed off in the end. We learned most of our choreography during band camp.
My mom showed me this video in 4th grade when we were given the opportunity to learn an instrument for band/orchestra. I was originally going to play the viola, but my mom wanted me to be in marching band. So she showed me this, and I had my heart set on being in the marching band. I chose the trumpet for my instrument. That was almost 5 years ago. I am a freshman in high school in the marching band and we won 1st place at our state competition for our division, and placed 7th in the state.
Sophomore here.. I play the French Horn and other bands normally have the Horn tilted at a 45 degree angle down so the Horn's arms don't ache as much, right? Well our band doesn't and my weak arms are so done by the end of the entire march... I cant imagine being a French Horn in this band doing a 9 minute show though our director doesnt seem to care... but we for some reason chose to continue to hold it up horizontally... hoping this Summer Camp for next year we finally change it...
Ever heard of a (big) screen Edit:Guys...I get the joke just tryna point out he based his joke off of something that doesn't really make sense I'm not saying something like "omfg dude lmfao you stoooopiiidddd *crying laughing emoji x10 for that little more cringe*they can see it hahahaha lol lol rofl lmao" Edit 2: r/Ihavereddit x177274747 for y'all
I’m not a fan of marching bands but even I have to admit this is amazing. The timing and precision is impeccable. So much time and practice went into this routine.
try DCI, it's a way better chance of successfully completing the raid. 😂 (dci is basically a bunch of high-level elite musicians who tour during the summer, it's crazy)
For all you idiots: Every single accusation has been completely debunked to the point where MJ had to be breaking several laws of physics to be able to “abusing” these guys. He was proven innocent leave him alone.
I'm in complete awe, they're making a human-like figure dance and move while being precise with drums and wind instruments while pushing their lungs out(the wind instrument users) and staying coordinated? That's so amazing, words cannot describe how awesome this is.
I’ve been in marching band before. The formations are made on a sheet, and you move after a certain number of beats to your next spot.I had to memorize 4 formations. But man, these people memorized at least 50. It’s incredible.
I can't understand how they walk and play and move in sync, I'm impressed. One Sunday a year at church we have to play and walk down the centre aisle and as a clarinet player I find it hard.

I took two years of band in 7th and 8th grade and then four years of marching band in high school. I can appreciate what these kids are doing. I'm sure the technique when they are doing the moon walking bit, it took hours to perfect. Totally badass!!!
and that's not all, believe me. i'm glad someone sees all the work marching bands put into their shows. Memorize your spot in the choreography, memorize your music, show up, and my band spends like 10 hours a week practicing (one 5 hour rehearsal and class), and we're still nowhere close to this level. 😓😥
The best field performance EVER ! by any band ! Period that was a very difficult field performance to learn ! I don’t think people understand that amazing!!!
Tub3r Elv3n it’s not easy for every school because I’m in marching band and it took us about 6 months to make designs like those and end with the letters of our school spelled out
The crowd simply lost their minds when that boy moonwalked....and rightfully so! ☺ The boy is BAD....The boy is Dangerous! ☺ Well done Ohio State! You rule! Michael would have really loved this amazing tribute. On his behalf, I thank you!
As a person who has been part of a marching band before, I can tell you that stuff like this takes so much time and effort, but it's all worth it cuz it looks amazing
Imagine doing an entire choreography while playing with instruments thinking your state will be honored and then 8 years later the ohio meme appears out of nowhere
When I was in the band in high school, we had competition's...definitely hard work, early hours and long hot days in the sun, carrying instruments. Sound easy, but it ISN'T.. Everyone ought to appreciate the dedication it takes to make people smile. It feels good after all is said and done. I congradulate the Ohio State Band!! You guts never let me down!!
My middle school band director showed this video to my class in 6th grade, and it happened to pop up on my RU-vid today and I'm still amazed by this Being in marching band myself, the amount of coordination and practice and EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS Is just jaw dropping incredible!
I would do absolutely ANYTHING to see an Ohio State Marching Band performance. I was in Drumline back in high school, and I've always admired OSU's band.
no I think the joke is explaining RU-vid’s algorithm to when they recommend videos--regardless of when it was uploaded, they didn’t recommend it until some years later.
The amount of people that realize how much work this takes makes me happy. I’m in highschool marching band, and even though we don’t do anything near this difficulty, a lot of people think marching band is just a small side thing, or a hobby. Only people who have been told by their band director to do it “one more time” understand how hard it is. But even though it’s difficult, and in my opinion, should totally be considered a sport, marching band is really, really fun.

@@onnil13430 No he didint Stupid ass Female Liberals Sued MJ for something he didint do after a few years after his death There was no evidence of MJ raping
@@onnil13430 It's just a fake document made for drama. If MJ really did that, he would have been arrested when he was alive. The reason why these myths and rumours came out *after* his death explains it all
@@heatherlory99 not trying to be rude but um, this is a tribute to Michael Jackson so please stop let him rest in peace dude. Theres literally no reason to get upset just because this person was speaking their mind you really need to respect that. Dont know if you're parents taught you manners but jeez relax.
