My little sister is a trumpet for the Iowa Marching Band. We grew up watching the Ohio State Marching Band and she has always admired them. Having this amazing performance take place during her senior year made my heart swell with pride. Thank you Ohio State and Iowa for teaming up for this historic collab!
Absolutely phenomenal how they pulled this off!! Everyone involved, from the directors and staff, to every member of both bands have sent a message to the world: LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE WORK TOGETHER RATHER THAN AGAINST ONE ANOTHER!
My heart swells with pride to be a Buckeye, and watching TBDBITL keep striving to push the envelope more and more. And Iowa, hats off to you. Simply wonderdul to see two bands merge and put on a show like that.
He shared it on social media back in the Fall and tagged both bands saying what a fantastic show it was. Just an awesome collaboration and tribute to his music.
So glad TBDBITL posted this on RUclips because I couldn't attend the game. What a wonderful collaboration by the Hawkeye and Ohio State bands! Kudos to the persons who did the designs which both bands could practice separately until they could combine them. A memory forever for the musicians of both schools!
I am the biggest Elton fan ' have been since 1970. This is by far the best half time show I've ever seen!! Those bands are just amazing!! Great job Ohio State
As a once-upon-a-time marching band member, I can appreciate how difficult this stupendously choreographed and performed tribute to Elton John was to pull off; especially given that the joint bands probably had - at best - one or two joint run-throughs in preparation.
As I watch this glorious video, I am reminded of how much energy and time are required to choreograph and rehearse in order to execute such a magical, entertaining performance. Spectacular! Elton John must be proud!
I am so glad I can watch these half time shows on RUclips. Marching Bands need to be recognized just as much as the football players. They but in just as much hardwork. Way to go Buckeyes! Suburb job!
Outstanding!!! It was great watching the bands perform together! It was also very cool that Elton tweeted his appreciation of the tribute! Thank you to both bands!!!! 🚀
Congratulations to both universities marching bands! The unity between both bands is amazing. I hope that Ohio State does more like this! I would love to see something like this for the rival game with Michigan State.
I live in Clemson South Carolina and I literally look forward to seeing what the Ohio State marching band does every single week! Thank you for keeping my weekends upbeat and positive!
I love this band and I love Elton John so I am over the moon with this performance! I imagine Elton would be so touched by it! This is so cool, you sound phenomenal!
A beautiful collaboration! I’m thankful for my place in the College of Arts and Sciences and the OSUAA that allows me to support these amazing TBDBITL students and talents
Oh my gosh, this is wonderful, phenomenal, beautiful in a thousand ways. Goose bumps on me throughout! How and when did Iowa and Ohio have the time to practice and perfect?! Because this was perfect!
@@klarson84 They also practiced together early Saturday morning for at least 1.50 hours, as well as played the music together at OSU's Skull Session 2 hours before kickoff.
Congrats to all performing and involved in such a beautiful thing. We, Brazilian people,, are forever grateful for his contribution to music amd show business. He'll be forever in our ❤
I kept tagging him and sending him messages. I wanted him to see how absolutely amazing all of you are. Sending much love to all of you from Oregon ❤🖤❤🖤
Hawkeyes and Buckeyes football coaches: "I want you to kill the other team! Run them into the ground!" 😤 Iowa MB and TBDBITL: "hey besties! Wanna do a halftime show together?!?" 😁
I absolutely love this tribute Elton John. This marching band of Ohio State is incredible. They have never missed a beat and there training is incredible.
When the precision formations by the bands, the music, etc., was all so perfect, it was a real downer that the tech support for good sound by the announcer was so poor. Sure didn't seem that it had to be....
Even moreso.....both bands so in sync--working/marching/playing together--REALLY did. I'm 84, and I've NEVER seen/heard a better performance. Much appreciated. And, many thanks to ALL who worked so hard to pull it off.

They gotta do more of these, it’s cool to see them collaborate with other bands
Agreed
I totally agree 💯
Totally agree!!!
As an Iowa fan I just want to say thank you. Probably the best college halftime performance I have ever seen. That collaboration was AWESOME!
I live in Columbus Best half time show since I have lived here
I live in Toledo Ohio and that was totally awesome!
The Eyes have it!!!! Buckeyese and Hawkeyes!!!LOVE the cooperation of the two bands!!! Great music too!!!

In a world that feels so divided - how wonderful to see this collaboration - gives us hope that we can find our way back to a more united humanity!!
The OSU Marching Band is just PHENOMENAL, Elton John would be honored watching this INCREDIBLE performance!!
He was!!
He shared it on social media back in the Fall and tagged both bands saying what a fantastic show it was. Just an awesome collaboration and tribute to his music.
Excellent what a performance, what a halftime show by the Hawkeye & Buckeye Marching Bands..I do hope Elton John sees this..!!

Well done to both bands. You really need to put together a video talking about how the directors pulled this off.

Outstanding recording job. I felt like I was sitting in the stands, enjoying the talent.
Sir Elton John sent me here. I'm so glad he did. Great job to both bands!

Bravo! Wicked cool! Goosebumps. Crocodile Rock is made for marching band, sounds sooo good.
I can't believe two separate bands were able to coordinate such a massive show with very little time together. Amazing. Well done OSU and Iowa!
Congratulations to both universities marching bands! The unity between both bands is amazing. I hope that Ohio State does more like this! I would love to see something like this for the rival game with Michigan State.
Another stellar performance by TBDBITL!! Thanks for the collaboration I enjoyed it immensely.
Glad to see that not everything has to be a competition. There is a lot of work that went into this show. Hope to see more of this. Well done bands!
Except NOT with TBUN! 😁
BEST Band
Congratulations to both bands. The amount of work to put this together must have been tremendous.
I live in Clemson South Carolina and I literally look forward to seeing what the Ohio State marching band does every single week! Thank you for keeping my weekends upbeat and positive!
Beautiful. I love how well they played together
I love this band and I love Elton John so I am over the moon with this performance! I imagine Elton would be so touched by it! This is so cool, you sound phenomenal!
You know that they don't practice together, but OMG do they perform seamlessly when together. Precision!!!🤘🤯
Go bands! I'm excited for the future of osus band and hopefully doing more combined shows.
Exceptionally brilliant choreography. Kudos in the millions!
Amazing that they could collaborate like that and do it so well.
From a member of the Goin’ Band from Raiderland, congratulations on an OUTSTANDING performance! Simply stunning. God bless
TBDBITL with Iowa Hawkeyes Marching band!! Awesome!!
Absolutely FANTASTIC!
One of the Greatest marching band shows ever, hands down
Very cool!! Such clear, crisp sound, and formations!! Best half time show in recent years!! (And we’re SEC fans, so that is a huge compliment 😁)
Wow! Fantastic performance by all!!
So great, always always!! The musicianship and formations are so stellar. LOVE LOVE LOVE OSUMB!!!!!!
A beautiful collaboration! I’m thankful for my place in the College of Arts and Sciences and the OSUAA that allows me to support these amazing TBDBITL students and talents
I’m a Michigan fan. Needless to say I don’t cheer for either of these schools…. but this was awesome! Well done OSU and Iowa bands!
THIS was GREAT!! What a great idea to have the bands together!!
First time since 1992 for OSU
This was fantastic! I love the collaboration!
Awesome show! Inspired use of color; on screen it looked like silver and gold sparkling in the sun.
Simply incredible! More of these please?
This whole collaboration was SO wonderful…it made me cry!!!🎉🎉🎉
Love the Bucks, Love TBDBITL... Love Elton John, too. Thanks for posting this.
Oh my gosh, this is wonderful, phenomenal, beautiful in a thousand ways. Goose bumps on me throughout! How and when did Iowa and Ohio have the time to practice and perfect?! Because this was perfect!
I agree 100% -- I'd like to know how they pulled this off!!
They practiced together Friday evening for two hours….this was incredible!
@@klarson84 They also practiced together early Saturday morning for at least 1.50 hours, as well as played the music together at OSU's Skull Session 2 hours before kickoff.
I wonder if they practiced their parts separately before rehearsing together?
@@yayshowvids6427 Yes we did. It was weird marching with half the spots missing haha
Congrats to all performing and involved in such a beautiful thing.
We, Brazilian people,, are forever grateful for his contribution to music amd show business.
He'll be forever in our ❤
This was absolutely awesome, they did so good together.
The best part of this game -disappointed Hawkeye fan
I kept tagging him and sending him messages. I wanted him to see how absolutely amazing all of you are. Sending much love to all of you from Oregon ❤🖤❤🖤
A class act for a legend.
Never seen a collab like this. It was great. TBDBITL
I certainly hope Elton sees this!!!!! Amazing!!!!
He did and he gave them a shoutout on his Facebook page
A very rare event that's for sure. Bands don't hardly travel as often to away games anymore.
It would be awesome to see more collaborations like this, maybe in playoff or championship games.
Beautifully executed!

This was so much fun to watch. Great job by all!
Now THIS is how to do a halftime show! Incredible!
That was beautiful hope they do more like this!!!!

🎉👏🎉👏 Amazing show!
Bravo from Siam.......Only WINNERS here........
I imagine EJ watching this with the family and loving it!!!!
So cool! Great job!
That was absolutely amazing!
All games should merge their bands like this because it was awesome!!
As a long time Elton John fan, that was awesome. The man himself shouted out to both bands on Twitter.
Unbelievable performance
I love seeing this band! Why don’t they get more halftime coverage!!
Licensing to the music :(
Just … just joy to see something good in this world …. Wish the announcer was easier to hear …
When the precision formations by the bands, the music, etc., was all so perfect, it was a real downer that the tech support for good sound by the announcer was so poor. Sure didn't seem that it had to be....
The silver instruments made the stars look like they sparkled.
Brilliant!
Absolutely epic!
Why would you put Mid-roll ads in the middle of a performance? I just don't understand. As a viewer, it ruins the show. Please change this.
ThatWasFantastic
Awesome!!!!!!👍👍👍
Totally awesome!!!!
Simply amazing! Wow! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love Love Love this!! Gave me chills!
Awesome ❤❤❤
Wow! That was wonderful.
Amazing!!!!!!!❤
So good!
Loved it
Go OHIO Band
A fantastic tribute to Captain Fantastic!!
WOW! When did they have time to practice together -- WOW
All of our practice was separate except for that Friday night and Saturday morning, but it was definitely worth it!
@@carebear128 I've watched this at least 10 times. So cool
Magnificent. Congratulations John & Taupin
RICKYBEAU you were a great Drum 🥁 Major
