My son is out there having the time of his life on the trombone ❤

[@me21464]

💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽give him my compliments

[@ammi4750]

I know you are so proud of your dear son God bless him, I am a grandmother that has a dear grandson in band too! God bless them both!

[@g.w.hampton5525]

AWWWWWWWW Please give him a hug from a watcher out in Northern Cali!! Great Job =))

[@Ivegotwormsinme]

Greetings from the land of Saint Tigers. I'm so happy that your son is able to get out there and do what he's doing. My god could you imagine being a part of something so big? The amount of time that went into coordinating that routine must have been staggering. Please let him know that some random guy in Louisiana wishes him the best of luck to keep doing what he's doing, and that the discipline that he is learning in marching band will carry him far!

This should be the halftime show at the Super Bowl! The other so called entertainment sucks year in and year out! This would never get old.

[@annep.1905]

Ditto!

I am a "band geek" from back in the day & all I can say is DAMN!!! 👏👏👏

[@me21464]

My band marched but we didn’t do this!!

[@g.w.hampton5525]

Now THIS is HALF TIME ENTERTAINMENT!! WONDERFUL to kind of focus on one person and see how accurate and precise they perform.

[@robertwoods4457]

I was there at the game. I can honestly tell you that I have never and I mean never seen anything like this before in my life watching games. Just the way they do the I guess the pictures on the field and Make it look so real. And when they do Ohio at the end and literally everyone in the stadium is on their feet with their phones out recording and cheering for the band is beyond anything I’ve seen for any marching band ever. It was awesome the support they get is remarkable. GO BUCKEYES

[@buckeyeg4888]

Been there many times through the years when the alumni is there, it is special with the four scripts, they say there were over 700 on the field,

[@robertseguin4875]

if you like this one their are more on KZbin, they are all fantastic

[@bruceparidon6808]

Oh yeah Love my BUCKEYES!!!!WHAT A BAND The very best. Go Bucks O-H-I-O!!!!

[@johnmarshall5388]

This is on my bucket list! To hear this band in person & go to a game some day, fingers crossed .

[@jamesschmidlin1127]

I was there too, on my way back to Tennessee. Born and raised in Ohio. First game I’ve ever attended. It was an experience, from first arriving to the game all the way till the end. Watching the game was like watching any other game honestly live, but they put on a big program, production and show. And it’s something to eat a game with an attendance the size of many small cities in the Country all in one stadium lol.

[@DaddyZeke4587]

Ugh! I want to hate EVERYTHING about Ohio State, but how can you hate this? One of the best traditions in college football. They really outdid themselves with this one. Every time I think they've done something untopable, they say, "hold my beer!" Kudos to everyone who makes these spectacles happen!

[@garythoramiolla5345]

Lifelong Michigan resident here - I freakin Love this band!!!❤

[@CraftAddictedWendy]

Incredible! I’m not a fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes football, but I’d pay for a ticket just to experience these halftime shows! Reminds me of the speed, precision, and musicality of Drum Corp International (“DCI”) competitions. My sons were in a HS marching band and used paper “dot chart” printouts - where to be on the field at what point in the score. I assume they’ve upgraded to digital by now and it’s absolutely impressive with all of the animation. Some musicians are practically running to their spot while playing challenging music! 🏆

[@braddukes9216]

love this!! I was in from 1997-2001. played flugel horn 2 years and then switched to snare drum (my real passion). "back in my day" we did use paper charts with the dots...which is still what the alumni get for our portion of the Alumni shows. The OSUMB (TBDITL) have moved digital yes. i forget when...maybe 10 years ago? They all have ipads with their music & the drills on them. Glad you enjoyed the show! I've only done a few of the Alumni games since being out 20 years (wish that was different...i plan to march in every one that I can from here forward....the timing just didn't work out years ago)...THIS show i think is one of the funnest shows the Alumni have ever done. and....Brutus even had a Forrest Gump outfit he wore a few times and literally just sprinted down the field & up into the ramp disappearing inside the stadium...just like Forrest would run in the movie. it was hilarious & so fun!

[@DanhJrehle]

My selection for Marching Band of the day today, November 12, 2024 is THE Ohio State University Marching Band!!! The Best Damn Band in the Land has had an performances that have included the space station!!! They have also been doing some ice skating for the hockey intermissions and have really made sure they retain the number one marching band spot. The inspiration that they have given the squad and the state is unmeasurable! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😎🎶🥁🏈🎉🎉🎉

[@ZannePeace42]

They are so GOOD! I love it

[@jeffbrooks1344]

One more amazing note about TBDBITL is they do a new halftime show at every home game. OSU has 4 home games in a row to start the season this year, and the band members need to memorize all the music, and the formations, in a week. A lot of other college bands do maybe 3 shows for the entire season. Way to make a fellow OSU alumni proud! Go Bucks!!!

[@cruiselifeeric]

I honestly didn't know this. I figured most bands at least at major D1 schools did a new show every week.

TBDBITL always does a spectacular job 🤩 My favorite show used to be their video games 🎮 one, but this one just might've moved into my #1 spot.

[@michaelandcolinspop]

They are. This line is superb. They're not MSU, but neither are a lot of DCI lines. The bass drums were feeling it in this show, too. I've never heard that many sextuplet runs from OSU.

[@stavismaples9084]

Definitely playing a bunch of notes. And the bass runs are real, unlike parade style. They're moving towards corps style slowly but surely.

This is a brass and percussion band, no? As a lifelong band geek, flutist, piccoloist - I wouldn’t have been in this band. That’s OK, perhaps I would have learned an auxiliary percussion part. As it turned out, I was admitted to the Cleveland Institute of Music to major in flute. I’m still playing so that’s good! Great show students and teachers!

Truly on off the best bands in the country. Texas A&M is the only band I like more. I love the Michigan band, but the fight song is so rockin that they lean on it. The buckeye band not only has the marching, but the music sounds great. The osu band is top shelf!!!

I’ll give Ohio State marching band credit for imaginative shows, however, for sheer precision marching, Texas A&M’s band beats them by miles. I live in Ohio, my mom graduated from TCU and my dad from Texas university; it is very hard for me to give the Aggies credit for anything.
