Great reaction! As a former member of The Ohio State University Marching Band, keep in mind that the students memorized all of this music and learned the marching drill in about 4 days. All that in addition to classes, exams, homework, and life.
I would be very impressed if this was just the movements of the students creating these images, but the fact that they are doing this and playing the music flawlessly truly blows my mind. 😂😂😂😂
In addition to playing the instruments, the students have to memorize their positions to know when and where to stand, and they only have a week to master the routine. Our colleges/universities have marching bands that perform at halftime in every game. Ohio State has other videos: Top Gun, Wembley performance a tribute to England, and a few more. Another outstanding marching band is Texas A&M Fightin' Aggies. It's very different than Ohio State because they do military formations that will AMAZE you. MUST SEE! Enjoy!
Yes the bands perform at most high school and college/university halftime. A lot of people watch but a lot get up to get food or go to restrooms. Students usually learn the show each week - different show every week. So very impressive!
This band actually performed at Wembley stadium. They were invited by the NFL. Maybe react to it? It's really good and they put a UK twist to their routine.
@@BANGSOFinnaBlowGreat reaction! Other marching band suggestions . . . Texas A&M (any half time show); Southern University (the halftime show this past season at LSU -- about 6 minutes long, produced by the school); University of Michigan (9-11 tribute last year at night with coordinated lights on every marching band member); and . . . almost any Ohio State show -- especially the one at Wembley, as a tribute to British Rock.)
High school bands are where many, if not most, got their basic training in formation marching. Further, many of them started playing their instruments in grade school. So many of them have years of preparation and take it to the next level.
They are all students at the university. They are not paid. Almost all High Schools and Colleges have Marching Bands and do Field Shows at half time at their home football games. And you do a new show for each game so you usually only have a week to do your studies/homework got school and learn your music and positions on the field for the halftime shows each week. Love the marching bands, they make the game great and get the crowd fired up before the game, during the game and at halftime. ❤
1. Superman saving a building. 2. Lord of the Rings, and Eye of Sauron. 3 Harry Potter catching the “snitch”. 4. Jurassic Park - the T-Rex eating a Michigan player (since Ohio State is playing their rivals Michigan. 5. Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes, the band members go to the school. They learn the music along with marching and also go to school. Lots of hours of practice.
The Ohio Stadium (or, as we call it in Ohio, the 'shoe) can hold 102 thousand people!! (there were once around 104 thousand seats, but from then until now, renovations have exchanged seats for rooms inside the stadium)
@@Robert-un7br Yep! Ohio Stadium is actually the 5th biggest non-racing sports venue in the world! behind Beaver Stadium (Penn State), Xichigan Staidum (Team up north), the one huge stadium in North Korea, and the one huge stadium in India.
It’s students this is at a college level but every high school and college has a marching band. Ohio state is one of the hardest ones to get in to. You have to be insanely good at playing as well as marching. I was ok and I could never be in this band. This is college students doing extra activities after school.
I started marching band age 13 until I graduated at 18. We practiced just as hard as any athletes. Learned drills and playing the music from memory. We would have competitions against over bands. It’s part artistry part athleticism. #ProudBandNerd
These are Ohio State college students, not professionals. These marching bands generally have about 2-3 weeks to work out their routines. OSU stadium holds about 102,000 rabid fans. By the way, graduates of this college call it THE Ohio State University.
But I NEVER understood the purpose of "THE" in front of it, as if there are NUMEROUS OHIO STATE UNIVERSITIES out there. THAT is the only time you use "THE" in front of a name that has many others out in the world with the same name, to distinguish the ONE that is FAMOUS from others of the same name, who are NOT. Like there are a lot of men out there with the name "Robin Williams" (could be a male or female normal everyday citizen, since Robin is used as a first name for both boys AND girls) SO if someone is talking about a person named "Robin Williams" that they know, the other person might think he or she is talking about the famous comedian/actor "Robin Williams" and might say, are you talking about "THE Robin Williams" and the other person could say, "Oh no, it's just a guy I went to school with, it's NOT "THE" Robin Williams" I don't see other universities putting "THE" in front of their names because usually there IS NO OTHER UNIVERSITIES or COLLEGES that have the very same name. Just seems a little arrogant or elitist to me, and not necessary.
@@patticrichton1135 That's literally the name of the university, "The Ohio State University".. It's not, "Ohio State University". It's like saying, "The State University of Ohio" instead of "Ohio University", which is an entirely different school... which also has a nice band, incidentally.
@@patticrichton1135 Basically, during the depression, the graduate schools at Ohio's other public universities had to close, and they were resentful of Ohio State not just from that, but doing that when the others at the time were older than Ohio State. A lot of court cases happened because of a lot of animosity between them, so they started using the word "The" because of that. After WWII, the other public universities in Ohio got their graduate schools back, making them universities again.
They only have 6 days to learn these routines. I have numerous family members who went to OSU, they learn it Saturday through Thursday, perform on Friday, and restart the next day on a new show.
Most of us start band in 4th or 5th grade so by the time you get to High School Band, you’ve already had 4-5 years of marching band so you are usually pretty good at marching and keeping your lines straight but Football Field Shows in High School is a whole new element to learn but by the time you get to college you’ve had 4 years of doing Football Field Shows but of course college Field Shows are a lot more intricate and harder but you’ve got the basics already and the drive and commitment with how to learn new music and field shows quickly. I loved Band! You really become a family in Band as you spend a lot of time together each week throughout the school year and then summer months as well traveling to Band Competitions, Field Competitions and Parades. ❤
Just now seeing British RUclipsrs and other countries viewing and sharing, Ohio State Marching Band Videos on their account. The part with the flying bird is the snitch from Harry Potter. There are other chorography by this band. One video is where OSU Band visited England and performed a half time show. 2nd video I recommend is Michael Jackson Tribute. Hope you check them both out and enjoy.
Tried and true huge Buckeye fan! I love The Ohio State University and my Bucks! GO BUCKS! Yes it is halftime show! They are ALL students - most are majoring in music degree of some type! Quite a few will end up being band directors in schools all over the country!! My band director when I was in high school marched in the Ohio State Marching band and still goes back every year to march with the alumni band!! The person eaten by the dinosaur was our rivalry Michigan player as the ship was our rival Michigan!! This band has marched in the inaugural parade for the President of the United States! When they march, it looks like they are on a conveyor belt, it's incredible they glide although they are marching! I've seen them in several parades around Ohio!! They are absolutely great!!! The first movie you didn't know was "Lord of the Rings", the next was Harry Potter, the next was Jurassic Park and the last was Pirates of the Caribbean! Find the NFL game that was played in England and OSU marched on the field with a salute to US and the UK! Quite a show ruclips.net/video/yIrAQEHYPuI/видео.html Check it out!!
They are actually University students who do this for the pride of their school. They compete against other colleges/universities marching bands as well.
The first one they did was from Lord of the ring. The first object was the ring to rule them all, then it Suron fired eye from the Two Towers and Return of the King. The third movie was Harry Potter and OWL not bird. I am an Ohio Buckeye
For a college halftime show that is equally impressive in an entirely different way, look at Texas A&M University's "Fightin' Texas Aggie Band", who do precision military drills that have to be seen to be believed. Be sure the video you watch includes their signature 'Four-Way Cross', which they have been doing for over seventy years. It seems to defy the laws of physics.
I know I'm late ;) But just found you - subbed up... Construction of Ohio State Stadium began in 1921, and it came with a price tag of $1.34 million, which, when adjusted for inflation, equals about $23.4 million today. At its inception, it could hold 66,210 fans, making it a significant sports venue for the time. Over the years, Ohio Stadium evolved. It expanded its seating capacity, reaching 102,329 in 2007 after various renovations. Beyond football, the stadium has hosted track and field events and world-famous concerts, including U2 and The Rolling Stones performances. This was approximately 30 hours work of the students... age 18-28? Over 200 of them... I'm not certain which year they did this... so... probably about 220 or so. The "flying thing" is I think a Gryphon? w/e the Gryphondor's (sp?) mascot was in the Harry Potter movie(s) Owl? I'm not a HP fan, I recognized the music... You missed 'him' "eating" the Tuba player ;) that's why the t-rex opened his mouth ;) They do not call "us" (OSU) The Best Damn Band In The Land for nothing (us used extremely loosely ;) - Ohioan here). TBDBITL. We have a FEW more folks than the UK, that's likely why we have all this 'stuff' - the 330+Million ppl - gotta keep us entertained & not making mischief ;)
The movies they are paying tribute to are: Superman (logo & Superman saving a building about to collapse) Lord of the Rings (The one ring & the eye of Sauron) Harry Potter (logo & Harry flying on a broomstick, catching the Golden Snitch) Jurrasic Park (T-rex walking & eating someone from the rival team, Michigan State) Pirates of the Caribbean (Ohio State ship sinking Michigan's ship then the Skull & Cross bones symbol) Great reaction but wow, you really need to watch more movies, as some of the ones shown here are among the greatest films ever created, especially The Lord of the Rings trilogy & the Harry Potter franchise... I agree with you that we need to stop paying millions of $$$ to egotistical celebrities for Super Bowl & just have several college marching bands do the half-time show instead - much more entertaining! 😃
How I learned to march (not as well) in bands like this: 1. You learn to manage the size of your stride to cover specific distances in a specific number of steps. For example, commonly it will take exactly 8 steps to get from one of those vertical lines to the next line. You are also taught steps that enable you to move around without disrupting your playing. 2. You have to play all your music correctly from memory. 3. To learn a routine, every member of the band is given specific instructions on exactly where they are supposed to be at certain points in the music, and also instructions on how to get there. You may have a section leader or something like that who is responsible for guiding 5-10 other members. So it will be something like "Start at the 50-yard line 5 standard steps in from the sideline, move backwards and to your left in 8 beats of music to halfway to the next yard line and 7 standard steps from the sideline". Of course, there's a shorthand for all of this, but that's the idea. 4. Once you know everything you're supposed to be doing, you have to know how that fits into what everyone else is doing, so that the lines look straight or smooth as intended. The whole thing requires military precision, and indeed some of it came out of military marching traditions.
Ok so i did this in highschool its not as complex as you think its basically everone has a mark and is expected to hit their mark in time with the count. Honestly keeping the count is the most important part other wise you risk running into each other. But yes lots of practice at my school in 07 we started in summer did 3 weeks of 6 hr day practice. Then when school started it was practice 2× a week perform on friday halftime and then saturday was our competition. Where it would be a tournament of 20+ bands competing for a trophy. So as much as this is a perfomance for them its probably just a practice for when they compete.
The superbowl performers don't get paid. In fact, most of them use their own money to help create the set and performance that they want. The marching band performers, as well as the color gaurd performers, practice alot to give us these performances. Every single member is a student at the high school or college/ university that they are performing for. The performances are very cool to see.
BANGSO, capacity = 102,780, and you're right; it's a halftime show. Some explanation is needed here: I trust you noticed the phone booth; in the black & white days, Superman changed in one, whereas today, he spins. The band is composed 100% of students, and it's possible to get a scholarship to OSU via this route. However, it's one of the most difficult to get in the country. They have 5 or 6 home games each season, and during that week beforehand, they spend more time on the field than the football team. Mt. Doom indicates it's Harry Potter. You were correct on #3. In case you didn't get it, at around 9:07, the T Rex opened his mouth, and swallowed someone--specifically someone from the other team, namely, U. of Michigan; then a little later, he spit out the guy's helmet at 9:49. Hilarious! Toward the end of Pirates of the Caribbean, the pirate face got a bandana. To get a scholarship to play in this band is one of the most difficult of any scholarship to win for any reason in the USA.
The Eye of Sauron and Mt. Doom reference Lord of the Rings. They then play the LOTR theme while forming the rings then forming the Eye of Sauron. THEN they move on to Harry Potter.
You said you didn't know some of the movies. The one after Superman was Lord of The Rings, followed by Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
These are students and it’s good to watch the whole thing and then react to the show. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but you can’t fully react well to the whole show if you don’t watch the whole show without stopping it constantly.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were the first schools to use bands as a show for halftime entertainment. They did unique high-stepping marching and danced. Other universities saw that and began doing choreographed halftime shows also. Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Jackson State University, and Southern University are examples of HBCUs that still perform amazing halftime shows with a lot of rhythm, high-stepping, and dancing.
I'm sorry, but you're British and you don't know Harry Potter? That 'thing' flying around is the golden snitch of the game Quidditch in the movie Harry Potter and it was introduced the first year that Harry went to Hogwarth and became a seeker (the only one who can go and try to catch the golden snitch to win the game). Of course, Harry is flying on a broom (the Nimbus 2000) as he's a wizard.
They’re all students, they have to learn the routines in six days and this is the largest brass band in the world.
Great reaction! As a former member of The Ohio State University Marching Band, keep in mind that the students memorized all of this music and learned the marching drill in about 4 days. All that in addition to classes, exams, homework, and life.

These are students and it’s good to watch the whole thing and then react to the show. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but you can’t fully react well to the whole show if you don’t watch the whole show without stopping it constantly.
5:30 that was the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings. 5:50 why does no one ever recognize the Snitch?
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were the first schools to use bands as a show for halftime entertainment. They did unique high-stepping marching and danced. Other universities saw that and began doing choreographed halftime shows also. Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Jackson State University, and Southern University are examples of HBCUs that still perform amazing halftime shows with a lot of rhythm, high-stepping, and dancing.

The broom one is Harry potter
Dolt!
Harry Potter was on the flying broom.

I'm sorry, but you're British and you don't know Harry Potter? That 'thing' flying around is the golden snitch of the game Quidditch in the movie Harry Potter and it was introduced the first year that Harry went to Hogwarth and became a seeker (the only one who can go and try to catch the golden snitch to win the game). Of course, Harry is flying on a broom (the Nimbus 2000) as he's a wizard.
