I just want you to know - I work with folks living with dementia. I found out that one gentleman I sit with was a drummer during his college years. I played this video for him and wow oh wow, did you just make his entire evening. It's like he was there. I am sure we will be watching again.

Not to make your head any bigger, but to be a drummer in the Ohio State Marching Band is elite. So many talented high school and adult drummers can only dream of doing this. Congrats on the accomplishment and you rock!

Alex, you have no idea how powerful your video is going to be. My dad, who passed away in Aug. of ‘21 would have LOVED THIS!!! Especially the script, Ohio. So, I got kind of emotional and knew I needed to share it with the rest of the family. Keep up the good work. You’re making a lot people proud in ways you probably never imagined. 👍

All respect to college football. The greatest sport on earth!

[@andreawest5849]

I was at this game. I have to say hands down the best part of the entire game was OSU band. When you played the WKU fight song and spelled out our school on the field was an incredible!! We traveled from Bowling Green to watch the game and that is something I won't forget!!

[@alexburlison]

Glad you enjoyed it!

What a fantastic share. The JI Chant and MIB pre-show hype sections are like none I've seen, even after marching 4 summers of DCI on tenors and 3 in college. I love your energy and bonding rituals; they speak volumes about the Ohio State Marching Band culture.

I'm literally watched this vid multiple times and i'm still admiring the synchro of you guys. The moment when you walk out on the ramp and all together start walking is amazing and this specific kind of walking is also fantastic. Really nice to see this kind of stuff.

[@jennifermosley1243]

That was pretty dang cool My son's high school band got an invitation to the high school competition you guys have up there. He was a freshman then. He loved it. Me being born and raised in Columbus loved it too. So much so that i cried watching him perform on the field. My dad was a huge Buckeye fan and would've loved to have seen that. His grandson playing where his favorite team played. So bittersweet bc he passed when my son was a year old. I know he was smiling down on my son that day. Thank you for this.

[@td389]

Awesome perspective of the ground view. I can’t get over how they know exactly where to go, example at 6:20 and 6:47 before getting in line to spell out OHIO.

Another Dawg fan here....Totally enjoyed watching this...from the camaraderie and spirit seen prior to the performance, to the on field choreography and music. One of the best applications and perspectives from a Go Pro during a marching band performance. Really appreciate the incredible talent and hard work that a marching band member must have, not to mention I'm sure you have to keep your grades up to stay in the band.

[@zacharykesler9759]

At my high-school, which im a senior at, we do something called Script Elida. We do it once every year on the Home coming game. Its a cool experience for our small town.

Simply the best damn band in the land.

[@fr3sh414]

the starting of the cadences always gets me so hyped up, lol. love these videos!

[@superdill6665]

I've never even been to Ohio, but a few years ago a random video came across my KZbin feed. It was a video of drum major auditions for OSU. So what the heck. I watched it and kinda laughed my ass off. I couldn't believe it was a real video. But then I began to realize how much talent and athletic ability it took to perform the routines these guys and one gal, were doing. So, I began to dig deeper and watch other videos of the band. It became a fascinating pastime to watch the halftime shows. They're unbelievably intricate. It takes some kind of genius to pull off performances like that. I loved the Zeppelin one. I recently found the documentary that was shot about the 141st iteration of DBDBITL, and it was so informative and fun to watch. My sarcastic humor which I watched my first OSU band video, has turned to awe, respect, and absolute loyalty to a band I've never seen in a place I've never been. Your video came up in my recommendations today. Of course I had to watch it. It was fun taking a little ride with you and experiencing the pre-game show from my tiny perch on your hat! It was amazing to hear and see what you do. So, thank you so much for sharing this video. It's just one more reason to love your band. God bless. ❤🩶🖤🤍
