Most people watching these bands have no idea of the insane amount of practice that goes on to pull this off. They make it look easy. Awesome job ladies and gentlemen !
I do! I used to do this. It's hard but fun too
It's Ssooo much work and training! They're not just Musicians, They're Full-On Athletes! Seeing this band live is now on my Bucket List!
For sure. There was a moment when part of the back line's marching was off and 95% of them adjusted to being off beat to create uniformity before fixing it. That takes serious skill. In marching band, uniformity always trumps being "correct". All throughout high school marching band, that was something I struggled with but they do it effortlessly.
You are so right. I was band parent president for two years. All the long hours in all kinds of weather ! Trips no sleep, fund raisers ! I could go on and on!!
Growing up I would play soccer next to osu stadium at the turfs and the band was there non stop practicing.
I am a 72 year old man, retired to Florida, weeping as I watch this reminder of all the wonderful afternoons I've spent in the Shoe. Every one of them started with this. RIP Mom , Dad and Grandpa. Wasn't this Ohio life beautiful?
I'M 63. I SHARE THE TEARS. THIS IS HOW WE HAVE FUN IN AMERICA. LOSE THE TECHNOLOGY AND BE WITH PEOPLE.
Weep all you want!! It's a beautiful moment when you see these amazing, talented kids!! It brings me to tears when I think that could be me if not for mother not letting me learn how to play the trumpet.
I live in Australia. We did not grow up with this sort of culture but I get all emotional watching it. It's powerful stuff. So much joy.
Remember the lyrics from the Ohio State Song, "Beautiful Ohio, in dreams again I see, visions of what used to be." I think many of us with a connection to the state of Ohio feel exactly that way.
Go Bucks ! From Cols OH IO !
These band members are so well trained it's amazing! The discipline it takes to accomplish this is amazing. They should be honored for their tremendous effort and competence! Unbelievable! They are to be honored for their effort for sure.
So as of this date 4/23 I am 78, lived a few blocks from the WOSU tower, and growing up delivered the newspaper along Star. I could look and see the stadium everyday. I graduated from OSU 1967 went tnto the Air Force and ended up in CA got out remained in CA had a career and now am in rural OR. I love to look at this and other videos of the OSU Marching Band my emotions are joy and pride in being there growing up 22 yrs - I just smile through out these videos. It is so long ago now but I have always been a Buckeye though I have not lived in Ohio for 56 yres - I am always a Buckeye. Thanks Central Ohio for such a great place to grow up and to be so proud of you all! What a privilege it was to be born there and raised there thanks mom! I am just smiling now as the Band begins the Script Ohio! Okay so the script Ohio is complete and I am weeping for the nostalgia of it all, What a marvelous heritage it is for me!
Script Ohio never, ever gets old! Amazing watching the little elements of showmanship from each member, and how they march through each other’s lines without missing a beat. And the timing has to be impeccable! How do they stay together? They’re marching in different directions, not hearing the sound as they would if they were inside, and they’re sometimes marching with their backs to the three directors on the sidelines. Yet, they still sound like a cohesive unit. Simply amazing.
Love it when that special person is taken over to dot the I....Makes this Buckeye tear up. Two brothers graduated from there and my SIL was a professor. She recently retired cuz the school is just too woke.
The best part is these are kids! 18-24!
Brilliant wonderfull from the uk ❤
An insane amount of investment in just the instruments alone. How many matched gleaming Sousaphones?
They are all professional quality musicians.
I was impressed in the first 2 min; in awe halfway through, and now...well, I'm speechless. HUGE respect for the brilliant choreographer and performers. Well done!

Never seen anything like this before ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT..Respect from 🇬🇧👍
This is absolutely fabulous cannot imagine the hours put in by the band members and the leaders who choreograph the whole march. American marching bands have visited Ireland for Saint Patrick's Day for years and I've always admired them especially as a child. As a slightly older lady I can really appreciate the skill and work put into their drills.
I was in band until I graduated from college. Unless you've marched,you will NEVER believe how complicated and difficult this show is. And if it reused through the season, that makes it more awesome, as the band has to learn new halftime shows and keep this entry sharp!
They are incredible. I have been at their practices 10-15 years ago
Not incredibly difficult, only hard part is probably gonna be getting in sync with each other
Meh, it's almost all standard 8 to 5 and follow the leader, some of the simplest marching out there. They do it well, but go watch some DCI for truly difficult and precise marching.
True

One of the greatest experiences of life is surely the loyalty and attachment to one's college. But the Ohio State marching band is a tradition--indeed a phenomenon--that transcends Ohio. It is truly a national treasure.
Having a son and daughter both marching in this band at the same time was a true honor! You’d think seven total years of watching them perform this might get a little boring but NEVER! Very proud TBDBITL parents we will ALWAYS be! J-I row-first on the grass!
Congratulations to the both of you for such an outstanding achievement and gift to us all. Your children will forever know what true hard work and discipline is and what these principles can achieve in life. In addition, they will have the cherished memory and earned pride of being a part of one of the finest marching bands/groups ever to take a field. May God bless you both and your children.
Still Bill Thank you! Our son is now an anesthesiologist and our daughter is a financial advisor. You must have also been a TBDBITL member to know the type of hard work it takes.
@@helenvanvoorhis2678 You are welcome. No, I did not have that honor; however, I was a bandsmen who started in 4th grade, was fortunate enough to go to an outstanding middle school (where the director was a former U.S. Army band director...discipline!) and a likewise highly touted public high school known for is very strict corp style marching band. This eventually lead to a partial music scholarship to college (Southeastern Louisiana University) for marching band and wind symphony (both by audition). While SLU had a very good marching band back then, it was not at a level comparable to OSU; however, I know and appreciate what it takes (physically, emotionally, intellectually) to be in such an outstanding group of young women and men while having to "make grades". I am very proud to say that I had 2 nephews in the LSU "Tiger" band (also a highly touted, outstanding group) as well as another nephew in the ULL (University Louisiana Lafayette) "Raging Cajun" marching band. Good Music is good food for the mind and the soul. May God bless all our fine Universities.
The Best Dam Band In All The Land!!! The Ohio State Marching Band. Eat your hearts out. 💖💖💖😁
Many of my family members either worked at Ohio State, or worked at Ohio State under Woodie Hayes, or attended Ohio State, including my Dad...God Bless all of them!
Marching at 180 to the minute and playing. Much respect from oz. 🇦🇺
Luv the Buckeyes band!! I could never tire of watching the entrance, they have great discipline and talent.
Merci, messieurs le Américains, vous nous remmenez toujours de la fraîcheur et de originalité. Je n'ai jamais vu une adaptation de Sambre et Meuse comme ça.
👩💻My son served a 2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Ohio Mission 20 years ago and has been a BIG FAN ever since. Never misses the Ohio/Michigan match-up. He also has a big Ohio State Game Flag 3' by 5' hanging here in Utah and BYU country. Wears the 3 or 4 ball caps, coat, socks, and tie. When I watch the Ohio Marching Band, I feel like I am floating on air. These guys are great and commend their professors and advisors for their hard work. I see why my son loves Ohio so much. 🙋♀️😘😳🤗🥰
My daughter is a band director @ Dunmore high school in Pa. The hours she and the students put in everyday are crazy. That includes Summer. My hats off for all they do.
As a former member of the world famous Tenneessee State University Aristocrat of Bands I love marching bands and I am adding seeing the Ohio State Band to my bucket list. LIVE!!!
I am a Nebraska Cornhusker fan and I had the rare privilege to attend the 2018 OSU vs NU game on November 3rd. Your band was magnificent! Such military precision in marching, I was amazed. Got to see the "Script Ohio." The OSU fans around me where nice enough to explain everything for me. I can't thank the OSU fans enough. They were gracious and kind. Please come to Lincoln, NE when you can.
I am completely obsessed with these guys
I loved being in band through college, so I know the commitment, hard work, discipline and fitness that made this possible. I stumbled on this while watching military bands and listening to Sousa marches. Now I am a fan of Ohio. Spectacular, to say the least. Thank you for the upload.
Ten times the spirit of anything the NFL has to offer.
It's amazing how the "professional" game has so less to offer as far as atmosphere and entertainment compared to the collegiate games.
I was in marching band growing up and traveled the region doing field shows and parades. We practiced minimum 3 hours daily out on the grass and in parking lots. This brings up fond memories. Thank you!
They’re just the best I’ve ever seen, as a former drum major; just so remarkable.
My grandson and granddaughter were in band,and we saw the hard work they put into it , even though they left high school for college,we still go watch the high school bands,it's so much fun!!!
Those young folks set the bar when its comes to marching bands. Phenoms.
Extraordinary spectacle, a triumphant entry, no doubt Americans are the best performers in the world of fanfare performance, they are of a precision in all the people who participate who keep their mouths open. Congratulations always here from Brazil, 2019.
Got chills watching this! It's amazing to think of how much time, talent and discipline it takes to perform like this. hat's off to all of them!
That is just earth shatteringly, gob smackingly, head spinningly incredible. 🏆🎖🎉
It is truly an honor to be part of this magnificent band. They are simply the best...
Do us proud! O-H!
Violet Gruner thank you for serving.
I hope to join. I was with you guys at the Skull session with the Indiana band. Best day of my life
@@KyleHurd I-O !
J'ai dû voir cette vidéo 1 million de fois. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Mon rêve..... Aller les voir et les écouter aux USA.
This band is fantastic. The formations are incredible. It's best to be in the high seats to really see the formations.
It is awesome to see, and I have seen them a time or 2, and never old. Love hearing the thundering sound when they enter into the stadium 🏟️. Makes this Buckeye proud!
What a HUGE band in size, charisma, discipline, sound, talent, showmanship, unity, & pride! I stumbled on this video, & it made my day! Thank You! This was absolutely beautiful to watch! ❣️
3/31/24. LOVE THIS BAND
This seriously kicks ass - hopefully one day get to see them live
I still get a lump in my throat every time I see this. Makes me feel proud to be an Ohioan.
Joel Wagner ....Ready for another season, fellow Ohioan?...
I get a lump in my throat too, but I am 40000 miles away from Ohio!
@Marisela Cantu haha!
Ramp entrance is at once stirring and heroic. Gliding onto the battlefield to inspire their team to victory. 🇺🇲. Script OHIO is iconic timeless. Viva la France. 🇨🇵
An IU alum who absolutely LOVES the OSU marching band. The entry of the drum major onto the field, the scripting of Ohio and the honored tuba player who gets to strut their stuff to dot the "i".....for some reason my eyes always tear up. Such grand work and pride with these musicians!!! And I do love that the band plays the opponent's school song at start. Just stunning.
Didn't even know they play the opposing teams song
@@jackoff1826 Don't know if it's just Big 10 schools, but yes they welcome visiting opponents with their school songs! Gracious hosts....until the game starts!😉😄
@@judymac2590 best damn show offs in the land haha
Guys,
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I used to live in Columbus and every Saturday was a grand spectacle!!! Loved those Saturdays at the Horseshoe!!!!! o:)!!!!!
From a former collegiate bandsman, this is just simply outstanding work. Good job.

Also loved watching Ohio State Football games with my Dad- we couldn't wait until halftime show!
I played football and you can be assured the players hear this in the locker room and if this doesn’t get you up for the game you must be dead. Much respect
OSUMB is the best Marching band of the USA. Thank you for this show!
They never fail to give me goosebumps!❤️❤️❤️
Goosebumps is exactly right! Is what I am experiencing what they call ASMR? Never gets old! God I love Ohio State!!!
I'm not an Ohio State fan, but I do love their marching band!
Ohio State has a magnificent band. They never cease to impress.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!! Now THAT is tradition!! Awesome camera work by the way! GO OSU!!!!!
They are really good, my goodness the presions, cannot imagine the practice it takes for this performance. Congratulations to them.
My daughter spent 4 years in her high school marching band and 4 years in her college marching band. She went to the Rose Bowl with her college football team two times. Both times she marched over 7 miles in the Rose Bowl parade//non stop as she played her instrument…so yes…the practice is intense!
Only in America. From the Fiji Islands I hope you dont lose these great, wonderful, beautiful marching band and the lively atmosphere.
Fantastic performance! It is a shame that such little TV time is given to the bands these days. Especially when they are of this caliber.
When satellite TV first came into being, you saw the entire half-time show. No commercials! That's what you paid for, to see TV without all the garbage. To bad we have to listen to people tell us what we just saw, what each team did and didn't do right, and yada, yada, yada!
Sure ! All the stuff of the gogol system !
Long Life to Trump !
Why they don't show this is beyond me. Pro's should have marching bands too!
@@Jaspur775 Drew Carey, one of the Seattle Sounders soccer club owners, said, hey, we need a marching band!.. so now MLS has a marching band...
It's too bad we didn't get to see IU's marching band in this video. Our football team might have gotten their asses kicked (I'm assuming. Don't remember 2011 but I assume OSU handed it to us with little effort) but it would be a different story if it was a battle of the bands.
The Marching Hundred is freaking amazing. I don't want to say OSU's band sucks or anything like that, because they're obviously really good, but the Hundred is on another level.
Yes, I may be a little bias, but I'm also right.
What an awesome band. Proud to be an Ohioan
I'm Canadian and I have never seen such an organization like this..I love your American song.In Ohio.🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🇺🇸🇨🇦
From someone who's always put hbcu bands above all, i.e, famu, Bethune, Jackson state, etc....this band by far holds its own, just with formations and uniformity alone. Outstanding.
HBCU bands are great, and I love their style and energy. However, people who try to compare them to TBDBITL do both a disservice - they each define excellence in their own genre, and that is how it should be. It is apples and oranges to rate one against the other.
Love marching band! This takes a lot of hard work and discipline. You don't get this precise without a lot of hours and hours of practice.
OUT STANDING BEST BAND IN THE LAND !! THAT DRUM MAJOR WAS OUT STANDING...💜💜
How in the world he bent backwards?!
Moved to tears! Unexpected. Did Marching Band in McHenry, Ill. So much Fun! Thank you, Mr. Leighty!
From Texas Tech with admiration! Love this marching band. Iconic fight song.
The Best Damn Band In The Land. The football team ain't bad either.
CenTex Dave Penn State is better
@@johnclemash2544 They are good, too, but I'm going on results of polls conducted by sports reports like ESPN, Fox Sports, etc. Texas A&M is also good.
Kyoto tachibana high school marching band more better
Even after watching hundreds of times at games, on TV or RUclips, that NEVER gets old. Outstanding TBDBITL, Go BUCKS!!!!!
Awesome Band in the USA
Amazing, wonderful marching band performance congratulations to all participants 🙏
I am amazed with the band. They March with military precision. They truly are talented
At our high school we look up to OSU's band. We have the same marching style, similar uniforms, same fight song, run on, across the field, into the U (for upper Sandusky. It used to be a u and an s but we changed it to a u) hang in sloppy, and every year were invited to play with them but every year it is on the same day as our homecoming ;( we are called ram nation and the best damn ram band in the land. OSU is our idol. One of our trumpet players from the class of 14' is now in the OSU marching band. Go Drew Barth! One of our trombone players from the same class is at Ohio University and we couldn't be more proud! Go Bucks!
Haetalie McDyer I think you mean Ohio State, because Ohio University is the Bobcats. Completely different style of marching, and they are more of a show band than OSU (proud son of a member of the OU Marching 110, the most exciting band in the land!! ‘HIO!!!)
My high school, Princeton High School, in Cincinnati was the same way, modeling ourselves after TBDBITL. Same fight song, Alma Mater, spats, marching 8 x 5, etc.
Haitilene,
I am from Norwalk.
Yes you did have a great
band.
Go Truckers
Haetalie McDyer w
Sure
A great band with a great tradition of excellence. The finest of its kind in the world!
Thank you, mbandfan2, for the great work you do on behalf of Buckeye band nuts. Your work is appreciated!
So very honored to watch this. Thank you so much for everything ❤️ 💗 💜 you put into TBDBITL!!!
Script Ohio on game day. Chills every time!
I'm exhausted just watching this. Can you imagine what PRACTICE must be like??
josoverthehill I witnessed their practice in 1996. It is one of the single most incredible things I have seen. I will always be a fan of these incredible people.
Those kids have been marching since age 12. I don’t think any of the band members would say it’s hard. Maybe the freshmen.
And OSU makes it a lot easier by eliminating the woodwinds! Ha ha ha ha
Still gives my goosebumps. That band may be the thing I am most fond of as an OSU alum and former Buckeye.
This is beautiful!! What a proud moment for Ohio State. Hats off to all the practice and time put in by these young folks.

Maybe more disciplined and inspiring is Kyoto tachibana high school marching band
Hahahahahahahahah ask the royal marine for some advice
That is amazing, we were out at Ohio State for the Army game and made a video of the pregame.
I was in admiration in front of this university show and American marvelous energy from here in France when suddenly at 4'30" I was very surprised to recognize a famous Napoleonic song from the French revolution: Sambre et Meuse! WOOOW! Incredible!?
4:30 ?
If you admire hard work and the human attempt at perfection, put this on your bucket list. Live, it takes your breath away.
This is on my all time favorite of anything I have ever seen .
OMG ! NOW that is the best of the best of the best !
OHIO YOU ROCK !
Wowza, that was the most entertaining sporting entertainment epic I gave witnessed in a long long time! This should be featured at the Superbowl...every year...not the nonsense that is passed off as entertainment. The skills, choreography and brilliance of step by step execution ....amazing!
That's the pre-game entry
Yea, it would be cool if bands were in the halftime show. Too bad they aren't and even worse, OSU is college football
I agree. They should have a battle bands, for example, Grambling State vs. Ohio State would be good. I’ve seen Grambling Marching Band.
Thank
I totally agree!!
The best bands in the country and the drum major is so good. Congratulations Ohio State. Great job as usual 👏🏻👏🏻
The fans love the tubas because other than the Drum Major, they got an increased applause. Also, coming down the ramp they are so smooth they appear to be on an escalator. Awesome 👍
The sousaphone (not tuba) player gets increased applause because the crowd realizes that four or five years of hard work are about to be paid off by "dotting the i." Did you notice that the "dotter" was female?
I grew up in N.W. Indiana where the drum and bugle corps competed from all over the country each year. Heart pounding, incredible talent and miss it so very much!
This is the best video I have seen of OSU's marching band! Thanks so much for your channel!
Old time Marching Band member here, Ohio’s band is fantastic! The many, many hours of work that went into this, not to mention all the music is memorized (no sheet music on the instruments) in addition to the complex marching routine - just Wow!
Been to the shoe many times and this is the best part of every game I have attended!!!!!!
I'll take this over any Super Bowl halftime show of recent memory.....
I'll take this over any Super Bowl Halftime show that doesn't involve a marching band
Music2Die4 NFL should allow marching bands for halftime.
Why spend a ton of money for performers.Pay the band
Super Bowl Halftime is junk anyway.
Bring back the marching bands and dump money into the schools Music Departments
W Parsons record companies pay the NFL for the privilege of the sponsored halftime show. However the first Super Bowl halftime show featured Grambling State University’s Band from Louisiana.
You can’t beat Katy Perry’s left shark.
If that doesn't get you pumped up for a football game, nothing will!
I have gone to many big college football games over the years, and I do not think any university marching band can top Ohio State's "Ramp & Script." I also love the male gymnasts/tumblers along the sidelines when the drum major first comes down the ramp (round-off, back-handsprings, full somersaults in pike & full extended position!!!!! ). The male gymnastics are dressed in RED in this video; other years they've been dressed in drab-looking GRAY which imho does not look as sharp. (Better to match the drum major...)
I am addicted to watching this video...
The Ohio State Band is traditionally (and still) all brass and percussion. And it's still excellent. Drum major Jason Stuckert (2010-2011) is one of the best (super high strutting with legs up...and baton parallel to ground) and very precise. He was excellent in this performance. (Wonder what he's doing now??)
Every element is excellent It always gives me a huge shot of adrenaline and goosebumps, and I did not even go to Ohio State!
(My alma mater for undergrad would not like me saying this--U. of Washington Huskies cheerleader many moons ago...)
As a transplant from the Chicago area, I fell in love with this awesome band the first time I saw it!!! Trust me, you've got to see the performance live!
magnifique !!!! impressionnant !!!! bravo les artistes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The special forces of marching bands. Have to see them live to get the whole experience.
James Pappas.
Outstanding Teddy and our Ohio locals that helped form Nuclear Communities Working Group!
I was there in 1975-79. Being a student from Malaysia, was totally impressed. Archie Griffin was playing with Cornelius Green as the quarterback
Never fails to give me goosebumps...
Fantastic teamwork, choreography, musical prowess and sheer physical discipline !
wow! It is impressively large and very well coordinated, the rhythm of its march with the music, the truth is, very good work by all!
I love these videos. I was a member of the University of Arkansas Razorback Marching Band and I know the amount of practice we put in for each performance. I think we practiced more than the football team!
I'm a longhorns fan but The Best Band belongs to Ohio State!!!
Nope - that honor actually belongs to the Jacksonville State University Marching Southerners. ruclips.net/video/HLoimHdaUic/видео.html
I'm a longhorn fan to but the best are the Aggies
@@jimodonnell3253 eh they are ok
@@johnday4765 You are right! No dispute.
@@jimodonnell3253 they're good, but come on man, it's a different thing they're doing
Great video that brings up a great memory for me...and a story. Marching band entrance & Script Ohio.
I actually went to both Indiana University (masters) and The Ohio State University (doctoral music student, not completed). A girlfriend I had said, “We have to get football season tickets.” Me: “What, they have a football team?” Same question at IU, “What, they have a basketball team?” Actually, Bobby Knight was the basketball coach in my first IU year, and Woody Hayes was the football coach at OSU (his last year, I believe.) We got the tickets. What is my amazing flashback and memory?
The very first time the OSU Marching Band made their entrance, followed by the Script Ohio, I was truly shocked. “They’re wearing our uniforms. The belts, the gloves, the spats. They’re marching like we do (with the hand cross.)”
In my senior year in Passaic High School (NJ), our beloved band teacher of many years retired and we had a new band teacher. First thing in marching band season. He bought us new uniforms. He made us march, much more professionally, in a new manner. Of course, as high school seniors, we complained. We did it, but why? Why did we have to learn new things?” We didn’t understand but listened and did it. And YES, our new band teacher was from OSU. I only learned this about a decade later at my first OSU football game.
If only we knew. We would have kissed his feet. If only we could see a video like this. Our new band teacher was great and we had a good relationship as we learned new things. A belated thank you to all my band teachers. Mr. Spurr (elem/middle school); Doctor Riggin (high school); Mr. Groom (OSU high school). Names might be slightly off (old memories).
I loved every second of this wonderful band!!!
I was in a university marching band in the 60s, but we NEVER did anything like THAT! Amazing!!
Michigan fans may hate this school with their entire being, but they have to admit that Script Ohio is an amazing thing to witness
Script Ohio actually originated with the Michigan band
@@boffo63 Yes it did as they did it as a tribute to OSU. Way back in the 1920's I believe.
Muck Fishigan
There is nothing more glorious than script OHIO and the best fight song of allBUCKEYE BATTLE CRY
I have always preferred "Across the field"
ALWAYS LOVE OHIO STATE MARCHING BAND!!
Loved marching in Defiance, Ohio with Mr Ziegler and Vincent Polce!! Beautiful, joyful memories!!
It's incredible that they chose a famous french military march... a bit accelerated even. Sambre et Meuse. I never thought I could have seen and heard that french patriotic song played by an American band... Especially for a typical american sport game ! But bravo, the rendition was good.
