My high school uses their “across the field march” for our fight song, and it was kinda funny because we were in the Michigan State University homecoming parade and we were told many times not to play it.
Amanda Stokes we play on the hill of the field and then do our chant,fight song,then run to our pre-game chart and then when we touchdown we play glory,glory
I love how they play while docking so that every ship/boat and person that's leaving and standing at the docks can hear them coming home and then someone sets off fireworks to welcome them home and people in thier community gather to cheer and welcome them back aswell. And people are sounding their ship's horns.😊🐉🐘 Is the entire population of Ohio gathered there?😞🐉🐘
From a former University of Alabama Million Dollar Band member... You guys are awesome! Very talented group! I have always enjoyed OSU's fight song! Trumpet salute!
Huge fan of the OSU Marching Band, i'm from the Netherlands and i'm planning on making a trip through the US of A and on of the things on my list to do is see this awesome band! Hopefully i see them within a few years from now
Good luck getting tickets to an Ohio State game. However, whether you do or not, you can always hit up the Skull Session which occurs 2 hours before kickoff. It's open to anyone. They run through all the music they'll play that day. It's a dress rehearsal/pep rally. If there's a visiting band, they will play too. Then if you do have tickets, make sure you get to your seat to see pre-game. Stay in your seat for halftime, and watch them during postgame, both on and off the field.
In case anyone is wondering, this was for the 200th anniversary of a naval victory off of the very tiny island of Put In Bay, Ohio, in Lake Erie. Unless you own your own boat, this ferry is generally the only way on or off the island itself. The large crowds that managed to gather in spite of this were to help celebrate this once-in-a-century commemoration. The tall ship at 6:21 is a replica of the Us Brig Niagara, the hero of the battle itself. The battle flag used by the Americans, "Don't Give Up The Ship", is also plastered everywhere throughout the video. More information can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lake_Erie
Although a Rutgers alumnus Class of '59, I love the spirit of Ohio State U. The OU band is the greatest I have ever seen. Thanks for the joy you bring !
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was on September 1st, 2013. The band was traveling to Put-In-Bay, Ohio, for the Bicentennial Celebration of the Battle of Lake Erie !!!!
We were there and watched them land on the Island, & march through the Town. Later we sat and watched them play at the Monument. It was the highlight of our weekend. Now I'm so happy we were there that weekend, because my Big OSU fan, my husband, passed away 7 years ago this past Memorial Day weekend, but he was able to see His Buckeye Marching Band in person. He was thrilled. ❣️
Well this isn’t exactly Highschool Marching this is better, if you want something to compare to use DCI but those are like the pros, it’s like comparing the NFL to High School football
I love the Spirit all around them. Everyone was celebrating them. Unluckly i live in Germany so i just would see them once i visited the USA. So feed me more with those videos!
I’m part of TBDBITL and we’re very excited to perform at this event again on September 3, 2023! It will mark the Bicenten(+10)nial of the Battle of Lake Erie. Go Bucks!
TBDBITL! These young adults are having a blast! I’m having a blast watching them. Love the robust sound from the deck, sounds powerful with headphones. Thanks to all.
What this video reminds me of was being a kid in my home town. We had two grade schools, a middle school, and a high school. On homecoming the high school band and the parade would head past all the schools around the town and end up back at the stadium next to the high school and kids would be lead out to the side of the road to watch the parade pass. Even before you could see it you could hear the cadences and music echoing through the neighborhood. the whole parade route was just over 5 miles long. I eventually got to take part when I got to high school and while the way I had to carry my instrument for the parade really wore out the arm, it was always a blast and I loved it. Now well into my adulthood I still miss those parades. I don't know if they even do them anymore. But the sounds of the music in the distance just always excites me, i become a kid again.
So what was the occasion of Ohio State being in Put-In-Bay? Was this a pleasure cruise, or was Ohio state playing an in-state team (like Toledo or something)?
And it was a glorious fall weekend except the morning of the battle re-enactment(rain,wind). And somebody forgot to tell ICE as the tall ships were meeting🤣
ryanjhamm Not really, it's just a statement of fact. I in a marching band and I'm jealous of their iPads, they are awesome. But I question how is me saying they do it with iPads a slam? Just because something is done with the assistance of a computer doesn't make it any less impressive.
Okay honestly if it was brass it’s probably better if it fell in the water than on the ground cause if they were able to recover it probably all they’d have to do is replace the valves and the possible lost mouthpiece 😂
Muito bom hein os cara toca muito parabéns,e parabéns aos maestros e suporte que cuidam desse pessoal todo que Maravilha se pudessemos ter bandas assim .parabéns
Looks like Jon Waters playing tuba -- yes the same Jon Waters that was run out of his job (as the most innovative and talented Director TBDBITL ever had) by an Ohio State University administration seemingly determined to hang someone for not ending all ribald traditions immediately. This is a GREAT band representing a sometimes-ridiculously PC-lefty campus leadership. But that said, Go Bucks!
Mike is right. The Ohio State University, under the shitshow of Michael Drake, had turned our beloved alma mater, into a pussfest of epic proportions. Ohio State was built on an unapologetic grit. Today’s OSU doesn’t hold a candle to the days of yore.
I was waiting for someone to fall over the edge and everyone starting to laugh but it didn't happen:). But other hand this band is amazeing! I wish my high school band could fill a boat that size.(we can only fit all 38 of us in one R.V)
