Dotting the "i" - 360 Degree View, TBDBITL

[@Various3]

Everyone forgot to mention we're watching an excellent sousaphone player. Not the easiest instrument to play and carry at this cadence. Three cheers to Tim. You did good!

[@fredericmartin7148]

Dotting the "i" is the greatest moment of tuba glory there is!! and the Ohio fans really LOVE their band--so very nice to see!! I'm an old tuba player myself, and if I ever got the chance, I would drive from Dallas, TX all the way to Ohio just to see this band. Only one thing would I change: I would change TBDBITL to The Best BLESSED Band In The Land, because everyone in the band and everyone who sees and hears this marvelous band is truly blessed. Tubas ... forever!!

[@brananherndon6947]

Frederic Martin I have played tuba for a little over a year. I started as a freshman in high school, I wish I could dot the “I”!

[@tru3fr0stb1te4]

sousaphone, not tuba, there is marching tubas, then sousaphones, torture sometimes, cause neither of them are light lol.

[@phillyswiftsteak5188]

@@tru3fr0stb1te4 Sousaphone is a type of tuba. And the marching tuba your talking about is a contra. Almost every band director I've met had or watched has called the sousaphone a tuba but understand its origin name so in the lime light a sousaphone is basically a marching tuba. But yeah I feel the Tuba both concert and marching don't get as much love as Ohio Script'si"i."

[@bsrk3170]

You mean the OHIO STATE fans live their band. The OHIO fans love their marching 110 Bobcats.

[@Myxolydian2001]

My Tuba Teacher (Don Stanley) Dotted the "I" sometime in the 50s I think. Had a picture signifying the event hanging in his office the entire four years I was at Mansfield University. I never realized the significance of his picture until well after I graduated and started paying closer attention to college football. He would have loved watching this. RIP Don, you were an incredible man. Thanks for posting!

[@BoomerKeith1]

I was lucky enough to travel to Columbus for this game and I think the script O and the dotting of the "i" are some of the coolest things in college football and every college football fan should see it in person once in their lifetime. I am so impressed with the Ohio State band and the fans I encountered. A really good group all the way around! This video is amazing!

[@michaelandcolinspop]

Sooner Keith Thanks, Keith. Gotta say OU has some terrific fans too. Too bad for us we laid an epic egg that night, but you'll have that sometimes.

[@michaelmorningstar6489]

The BEST video to truly understand the feeling of 105,000+ Ohio State Fans cheering you on as you do one of the greatest things in college marching band pageantry and tradition.

[@81jeremylbradley]

Things like this, is what makes America so beautiful. Thank you loved it.

[@pjbottoms8095]

This is amazing! It is really a marathon to dot the i!!!! I loved seeing the interaction between line members (the high fives).

[@tanyaspanfellner2157]

I 100% agree. I always thought they were completely serious, its good to see them have fun out there

[@bryanfields5563]

gotta love the enthusiasm and the 25 or so high fives while Scripting Ohio!

[@Dkazakis84]

All the high-fives coming from all directions while marching is the best part of these movies.

[@aaronsnyder2289]

OMG I can't love this enough. So great to see all the support he's getting from his fellow sousaphone and band members. I got chills when the drum major came down to lead him! This is probably my favorite tradition in college sports and I'm not even an OSU fan!

[@queenbee3647]

The dotting of the I IS the best tradition in college sports! --- OSU Alumni Family Member 👍

[@davepeto2426]

As a former T-Row member and TBDBITL Alum, I've done plenty of Ramps and Scripts but never with this view. Thanks heaps for taking us along for the ride, Tim. The view from behind a flugel looks a bit different but it's always a treat nonetheless. By the way, I hope they've gotten you a new felt or cork washer for under the valve cap on the top of your 3rd valve to stop all the clatter. It might help make your valve holes line up better, too!

[@calebm9000]

I'll never forget the Freshman Kick off, my roommates and I stood right in front of the sousaphones while singing Carmen Ohio and were rattled to our core while feeling the loud vibrating bass notes. It was incredible and still makes my eyes misty.

[@razorbishop]

wow thank you for giving us the chance to watch what i imagine is one of the greatest moments in this young man's life .After 5 years still a great video , you guys are Amazing

[@MickeyKraut419]

Growing up in Ohio, any kid that plays sousaphone dreams of going to OSU and getting the honor of dotting the I... How many other schools out there have a stadium with 100,000+ in the stands every home game screaming and cheering as loud for a single band member as they do when the team scores? I never pursued music beyond high school, but I've been to many games over the years. Script Ohio and the dotting of the I still sends a chill down my spine each time. I just got to share that experience with my dad for the first time last weekend, treating to his first ever game in the Shoe for his 70th birthday.

[@marissalee7899]

Im in highschool and i love TBDBITL!!!!! I play flute. Im learning to spin the baton and hope to be a drum major in college. I think this is such an awesome video. It gives you an insiders view of what its like to dot t he i.

[@curiouspenguin6887]

Thanks for putting this up for those of us who've dreamed about dotting the i!

[@mczgaming7048]

I'm in high school marching band and I play a euphonium. This makes me want to play sousaphone.

[@johndeereman3363]

I play Susa. It ain't easy. I started last year which my sophomore year. Next year i get to play hey baby which the way my school does it is the oldest Susa player plays the tuba part and the rest of the band does a kicklie type thing and sings it.

[@frankkorfias7874]

This video should go viral. Sadly, it probably won't. Amazing footage!

[@larrywt656]

I don't know which part was cooler, all the other sousaphone players high-fiveing him as they marched by, or the "WHOO" he let out at the end of Script Ohio. Very entertaining video!

[@WickedWilhelm]

at 7:23, the trumpet player and the sousaphone player high five before they split off, and that just cracked me up

[@Mega-P71]

Whoooooo! Love my state and my state team lol been to football games there many times and it's amazing. No matter how cool the new stadiums are they don't have the memories I've made at this place. That's what makes it special for me.

[@durindaau8085]

I am a born and bred Buckeye. Watching this band gives me chills and fills me with pride EVERY time! GO BUCKS!!!!!

I helped usher as a Boy Scout at OSU games with Rex Kern and Stilwagon era. I'm still misty eyed at remembering this while in the military, in places only My incredible Brothers and Sisters served. I'm 67 now and a member of the AOSFYC from 69 and this still warm's my heart. Wish all people could have that same feeling. America...The Beautiful.

[@linedanzer4302]

This "i" dotter has so much to be proud of on that night. Not only is he an awesome sousaphone player, he got the Go-Pro assignment, got to dot the "i," seems to be very popular amongst his fellow bandmates, and got led to the top of the "i" by John LaVange! I gotta say: Hot damn!!!! Way to go!!!

[@dutchtea8354]

Agree with everything, and think LaVange was the best drum major.

[@labellav1103]

watched his face the whole time awwww!! 😌 such a special moment for him! 💂‍♂️🎺👏😁

[@jefferyritter]

This has to be like the greatest thing I've seen in forever. Thank you so much for recording it and posting it. As a fellow former high school marching band Sousaphone player, I also dreamed of dotting the "I" especially because my high school's fight song was the "Buckeye Battle Cry." And since our mascot was the Rams we did script Rams every year at the last home game. Sadly no "I" to dot in Rams. It's also very hard to get over how big the horseshoe actually is. Seeing it from the field is amazing.

[@ぴぴ-c1z]

The greatest job ever🌟✨🤩 This is just what I wanted to see over the years as an osu graduate‼️ My biggest love and respect to osu marching band❤️💙💚🧡🍀

The respect the other players are is insane they cheer him on and the audience is insane too

[@Marizeye]

Wow so amazingly cool to feel like I was there with you, once I worked out how to pan around 😂👍🏻thanks for the ride!❤

[@Rainmaker65]

To say that the music didn't leave a lump in my throat would be a lie. I watched until I was needed for errands, but the 360-degree view was simply the "shizzle." Speed of marching and weight of your instrument are a testament of your overall physical being. You get to remember your day twice...once for "dotting," and once for being the first to record the moment in the manner it was. Simply put...TBDBITL!!! Go Bucks!

[@user-jv7gm6ns4z]

What an amazing surprise and great memory when THE Ohio State Band travelled to Evanston, Illinois to play Northwestern University. My dad and I were enjoying our season tickets on the fifty ward line (he was a professor and head of the Urban Research Lab. Unfortunately, it was also the day that I saw Woody Hays hit a Northwestern player on the sideline after a successful play. It was his second occurrence and that ended his career when he refused to apologize. What an unfortunate memory to follow such a brilliant experience.

[@patriciakuehn4083]

Awesome perspective. How exciting to witness ❤️

[@tangoxraysierra]

I have zero connection with Ohio State; this is hands down the superior college band. Funny, I had new friends over okay to our pool; one was a HS band director. I mentioned Ohio State being incredible. He mentioned Ohio State before I could get the words out.

[@greenumbrella4807]

The football game is just opening for the true stars.

[@JamieSmith-fz2mz]

It's the behind-the-back hand slap the trumpet gives just before he breaks out of formation @7:22 and the bari who fist pumps him as he passes @7:42 that's the best. I'll watch for that every time from now on because you KNOW it happens every time. #bandkidsarethebest

[@trshvault]
