Dotting the "i" - 360 Degree View, TBDBITL

This is a view never seen before of the live performance of an Ohio State University Marching Band sousaphone player dotting the i in Script Ohio. 360 degree video simulates being in the shoes of the person and looking around to the left, right, up and down. CLICK ANY POINT ON THE IMAGE TO DRAG IT IN THE DESIRED DIRECTION. AT 7:30 IN IS WHERE HE BEGINS TO DOT THE "i"
I-DOTTER / Tim Hogue, from Canton, Ohio, graduated from Ohio State in May 2017 with a degree in security and intelligence from the Department of International Studies and with minors in Russian and aviation studies. He returns to the Ohio State Marching Band this year for his fourth season. Hogue says he is excited to dot the “i” to complete a dream he’s had since he was a student at Canton McKinley High School.
Script Ohio was first performed by the band on Oct. 10, 1936, and has since become the quintessential formation of The Ohio State University Marching Band. Each time the band performs Script Ohio, a different fourth- or fifth-year sousaphone player is chosen to stand as the dot in the “i” of “Ohio.”

The fact that the other Sousaphones kept cheering for him when they went to their respective positions and as they marched, it's just so fascinating!

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!

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”!

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."

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.

[@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]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

Outstanding perspective.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ThrillCoasters305]

Amazing maybe one day I will dot the i as well

[@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!

[@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

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.
