What an honor to be chosen for this marching band. These students work so hard, with band practice and not to forget, their studies. Parents gotta be so proud.
Same for me. I hate team sports - especially football. But I’m so impressed with this band. I’ve watched a few other college marching bands and none of them can hold a candle to Ohio State.
You should go down and attend Skull Session at St John's Arena before each home game. Band plays to a full house and the team walks thru, coach says a few words but it's mostly band show. You'd enjoy that alone. Don't even need a ticket.
3:08 that bass drummer that hits the stadium 3:17 This band and try e football squad and the pageantry is what college football is all about. If you can’t get up for this band then you’re in the wrong stadium.
We miss seeing amazing bands, which are far more in number and talent than those who blabber during halftime about nonsense. Studios hire bores to regurgitate crap computers spit out. Thus, we miss the great American tradition of marching bands. They would hear not one complaint if the entire halftime was televised. In many cases, it would be much preferred to the game itself.
I've been watching college football a long, long time and they used to show a lot of bands at halftime. It wasn't quite the whole halftime show but we at least got a feel for the pageantry and traditions and color they added to the game. I miss that.
Excellent!! Snare Drums that sound like Snare Drums, not that idiotic clicking of some of them that sounds like they're playing on a sheet of plywood!!
It's part of the stadium replacement plan. The stadium just turned 100 and we're afraid that it might last too long and become outdated so we have the bass drummer hit it once per home game so we'll eventually have to modernize the stadium. You know, tradition!
@@carebear128 228 not 248, thank you for that info. I think the intricacies of your performances is what makes the band seem bigger than it is, member-wise. What an honor to be a member of The Ohio State Marching Band, truly!
So weird how humans love traditions and fear change. Seeing the same thing over and over, year after year makes time stand still, while change reminds us all that time and change will surely show....
I do not know what black rod is, but it’s a tradition dating back to woody Hayes I believe where a bass drummer would bang on the team door to let Woody know the band was ready and the game will be starting soon
Oh who cares about the cheerleaders other than their parents. Let's get to the band, and this is coming from the parent of a former football cheerleader.
Nothing against the Ohio State Marching Band, they are great. However they show more security than our Congressional Leaders have recently. JustSaying.
Perhaps it would be more pertinent to know how many black people tried out before making any possibly unwarranted assumptions? Maybe 5 and they all made it. But congrats on your eyesight. Seriously, I can’t see that level of detail in this video.

I don't particularly care about football, but I would go to an Ohio game just to see these guys play.
Same
Me too. They're awesome!

@@395peace9 Yes, Ohio is a state.

There is something about that sound of drums that peaks the ears in anticipation. I really like the Ohio State Marching Band, they are AWSOME!!!
One of the best marching bands in the land.
It is not one of the best of in bands in the land, it is TBDBITL
The Greatest Band in the Land!
Wonderful, the band has very militaristic look and sound for sure, add to that the guys in fatigues and it’s go time!

Gosh I love that band
They look very sharp, some bands will do entirely too much, and end up looking like clowns. Ohio State has it going on!!
Tried & true method of excellence.
there are a lot of good college marching bands, but OSU can take it to another level
Growing up in SAcramento we would go to Berkely to watch the Cal Bears band. These are so much fun.
Look forward to you and your Cal band joining the B10 conference soon, along with USC UCLA, Stanford, Oregon and Washington.
They give me goosebumps every time I see them!
I fucking love that drum cadence towards the end. Every day I'm working It's in my head

@@Namath1000 Amen.
Truly The Best Damn Band In The Land!!
Except nicknames doesn't make it true.
@@headshotdave Doesn’t make it not true, either.
Except for Michigan’s obviously 😉
@@sheneedsme 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious!!
Amazing band.
Amazing band
Well that was cool.
The best.
That's quite a drum section.
Excellent!! Snare Drums that sound like Snare Drums, not that idiotic clicking of some of them that sounds like they're playing on a sheet of plywood!!
TIGHT!!!!!
wow, 1st part of the Connecticut halftime...via the drumline!@
close, 3 camps
damm i hate you !! lol
at least we have the drift, thanks
Connecticut Halftime is a pretty old drum solo, but The Three Camps dates back to the Revolution. Originally a fife and drum piece!
Hello:
love your video
May I use your video?
Bucket List
First off, I love the Ohio Marching Band even tho I am not from Ohio lol! But also why did that bass drummer hit the wall?
It’s a tradition, a bass drummer bangs on the sign three times to signal the band is entering the stadium.
@@jack_snare4 Many many thanks my friend!

@@MattEland best comment!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So this is Ohio University Marching Band is what you are saying then, right?
I know the band is traditionally 248 members but it looks like more than that.
Funny enough the band is traditionally and currently 228 members, but when you have a ton of people in the same uniform we tend to look a lot bigger

I like the marching illini as good a bandit not better but both are fantastic
So weird how humans love traditions and fear change. Seeing the same thing over and over, year after year makes time stand still, while change reminds us all that time and change will surely show....
What's with the bass drummer running up to pound on the building (door?)? OSU's version of Black Rod?
That was my thought too, but If so, they should slam the stadium doors in his face as he approaches 😄
I do not know what black rod is, but it’s a tradition dating back to woody Hayes I believe where a bass drummer would bang on the team door to let Woody know the band was ready and the game will be starting soon
Why does one drum major have on a normal marching uniform?
The drum major understudy and heir apparent
Go Bucks!
So there not carrying the drum😮
Should have much more of an accompanying police presence though.
Who is the drum major?
Oh who cares about the cheerleaders other than their parents. Let's get to the band, and this is coming from the parent of a former football cheerleader.
🫢😮
Go Bucks! beat TTUN!
My god! How many people are in that band, anyway?
Not sure, but I believe it is the largest all-brass band in the world.
@@kathleenmatthews1256 *All brass and percussion
Awsome Band but didn't like how they ran onto the field
Is this the Ohio University?
Go 'Cats. Class of '85.
@@markgriffin5889 what are you on about?
This is the Ohio STATE Marching band
TBDBITL???? Not even close. Takes a LOT to beat Texas A&M Marching band !!!!
Stupid comment - the two bands are completely different in style and form. Only an idiot would make such a direct comparison.

Nothing against the Ohio State Marching Band, they are great. However they show more security than our Congressional Leaders have recently. JustSaying.
Whaaat?
Probably its that they get to watch the game - for free.
Dude why do the drummers with a snare have to carry a drum so dumb
Band is weird
A seemingly ridiculously large number of basses... Lot of show and little blow??
*Sousaphones
Yes I understand! Basses is just easier to spell - - - 😏
I count what only five black band members? Hmmm…not enough s out to compete with Kdntucky state.

Lmao really
And you can tell this.... how?
@@kathleenmatthews1256 It's his xray vision
most black people don't like to march in this style they rather HBCU style of marching.
Best band in the land has crooked lines 😂😂😂👍🏻
What crap is this.
i’m from australia and i sort of don’t get this but it would be worth watching.
