Ohio State University Marching Band - The Best Damn Band In The Land 9/3/2011

[@tomshiba51]

To me it seems that to join the Ohio State Marching Band is almost the same as joining the United States Marines; once you've served, you are always a member. Semper Fi and GO BUCKEYES!

[@bandgeekscreamer]

they aren't a competition band, the 110 is awesome

[@alottaballsful]

You must be mistaken, they have a new halftime show every week, it is never the same. Bowl games I will say are a bit different though, they play something like a pregame for that halftime.

[@bandgeekscreamer]

@jibucks i was curious as to what their entrance/pregame was like.. since i've never seen them...

[@JediNit2]

Go to a game and listen to the clapping in person before you criticize. They are clapping in time to the drum line.

[@alottaballsful]

The band plays a hell of a lot more than that, they only play the fight song, script, and sloopy for pregame. They have a limited plan for pregame just like every other college band. Their halftime show, however, changes every single week.

[@jibucks]

@bandgeekscreamer That's because Ohio State's school songs are good enough that people actually want to hear them every game unlike ou's. Well if you're military style, you might as well be the best at it. Not try to be some kind of hybrid show band like ou. And OSU band members can funnel their excitement into their performance instead of rolling around on the ground and complaining that they can't hug anyone for fear of getting their uniform "dirty" like ou.

Seems like you would know considering you're going back to '72. I don't have time for this.

[@jibucks]

@bandgeekscreamer Exactly.

[@jibucks]

@bandgeekscreamer This entrance is way more exciting than theirs.

[@jibucks]

@bandgeekscreamer That's why high school bands can easily imitate ou. Plus if OSU is so boring, then why are you watching their videos?!

[@2009grifin1]

If all of these Big Ten bands claim to be "so great" why is everything at the same tempo with the same percussion parts and a few keys?

[@tfpiv]

Alright...the comments will remain, but after this one - if I see any off color statements, they will be deleted. Thanks - tfpiv

[@redflame543]

Great to know. Now excuse me. This "pitiful excuse for a human being" has a game to watch tomorrow. And I'm not letting some grumpy old man get in my way. Have a great life "sir".

[@prettythang1001]

so is your swagg but aint no body say something to u

[@bandgeekscreamer]

@jibucks and i watched it and commented with my opinion.. so what?

[@bandgeekscreamer]

@jibucks lol.. no.. all they do in this entrance is spell ohio.. they aren't even ohio, they are ohio state. ohio university has a whole pregame SHOW they play multiple songs.. not just the fight song and alma mater... ohio state is too military style.. they look like they have to be there.. not like they WANT to be there... marching 110 > ohio state... nuff said

[@redflame543]

Can't tell time I see. Getting a bit too old for this, eh.

[@redflame543]

And I thought old men were suppose to worry about other things. Like prostate cancer. Go get yourself checked out champ.

[@ZMarquart89]

The 110 is a joke. They're not even the best MAC band in the state.

[@caboose22320]

That is the most obnoctious clapping ive ever heard in my life

[@bandgeekscreamer]

@jibucks say whatever you want.. OSU is boring and reminds me of some highschool marching band..

[@bandgeekscreamer]

just cuz they're called "the best damn band in the land" doesn't mean they are exciting... Ohio University Marching 110 on the other hand... 110% more exciting than this boring band

[@bandgeekscreamer]

what? you make no sense... what are you even talking about?

[@tayswiftsluv4life]

lsu is wayyyyy better than that
