So I flew to Ohio from Texas this past weekend to watch this game and I was sitting pretty low so got a great view during this halftime show. Guy behind me had a daughter in the band so I was asking him about the formations and how difficult it was and he was just speechless, he had no clue how they executed things like this with such precision bc you watch them overlap each other when they do “script Ohio” and are writing the letters and they are SO close. One small missed angle or movement could screw up the entire thing, it was truly a spectacle to behold up close. This halftime show was amazing, the plane was so awesome but the volleyball one live was bonkers!!! TBDBITL indeed

My kids were in a high school band and the stuff they did was amazing but not quite on this level (though they were one of the top high school bands in Texas at the time). The band started about a month before school started. They started with physical fitness & zumba. They did 6 -8 hour days 5 days a week until school started. Once school started they had 3 and a half hour practices 3 evenings a week and some Saturday practices (all marching) plus their allotted class time during the school day. Learning/memorizing & practicing the music on their own was also done. I'm still amazed by it. I would bet this band practices and spends at least an equal amount of time practicing on the field but probably more (but that's just a guess).

When I was in HS band everyone had a paper “map” for each song. We’d find our starting point and then the map would show us how many steps we needed to take within so many beats to make a formation. Bands (HS and College) start rehearsing during summer for their half-time shows.

The OSU band rehearsed Monday through Friday 4:10-6:00pm. They learn a new show each week, memorizing the music too. Friday is music check day, they have the four previous days to learn the music. They also learn a slightly different pregame show for every game as well. It has been this way since long before I was in this band in the 90’s. It’s the hardest job I ever had and I’m certain many other members would agree.

I did HS marching band and the training and practice that goes into just one segment of a field show is crazy. We spent hours and hours on the football field during band class and outside of school hours. If you go into band, expect it to be a major part of your life. Once you get out on the field in front of everyone it’s so much fun and rewarding to show everyone what you worked so hard to entertain them with, then hearing them cheer afterwards. Our band had a good director and we had a lot of exceptional people in our band so we always sounded good, even when we didn’t. Was a privilege to play in that band.
