I died laughing

I've never seen someone this happy in my life.

That man should never have to learn another skill in life period

[@irish_soldier1248]

His audition video was my intro to this band and I’ve been hooked ever since!

[@michaelJpurp]

Somehow these videos started appearing on my feed. And somehow they are exciting and I can't stop watching.

[@stanpeters4746]

Same

[@jdubs3426]

I need someone to hype me up the same way dude to the side did

[@filippoorologio6777]

All knew u were gonna win those tryouts

[@linedanzer4302]

I love this guy! His flexibility is beyond the beyonds. And his enthusiasm makes me want to be at a game. And this from someone who cares very little about sports. :-)

[@tc1817]

By the looks of things you despise grammar and spelling.

[@linedanzer4302]

@@tc1817 Thanks for checking me on the typos. I've followed this band a long time and would never type disparaging remarks in their video comments. I made the corrections and hopefully all is forgiven.

[@DavidSibley040461]

Kind of a strange tradition. I have no association with this school but I enjoy watching the various traditions like the script, the drum major, etc. Yes, John, you are amazing.

[@amritaprabhu8420]

So passionate about his work! The best drum major.. ever!

[@julielambert6764]

Love him and also knew he would be chosen as drum major. Didn't know he would have to touch his head to the ground. Awesome! Also watched the tryouts, it was close between him and Konner Barr that year.

[@julielambert6764]

A perfect performance, great job, John!!

I could possibly enjoy this more if we dubbed this clip over audio from an HBCU. Lol. But impeccable showmanship. This guy is dope.

sicuramente e' spettacolare e bravissimo , ma io lo ammiro moltissimo quando fa' quel tipo di corsa con le gambe proiettate in avanti ,...non conosco il significato dei gesti ma coreograficamente e' bellissimo ....perche' prima di partire punta il bastone in avanti ?

[@richardpetrie318]

The current 2018 UW-MADISON marching band drum major does that too (effortlessly). My junior son is in the 400 member UW-EAU CLAIRE marching band. Largest division 3 band in the country.

[@abcd777ful]

Hey look what I can do.. 🙄

[@sspann11]

Nice. Every HBCU drum major in the country can touch their head to the ground. I even did it as a high school drum major, but good job. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Is that what skills are needed to be in a frigging marching band???....ill take 1970s and 80s drum corps every day of the week

[@GalacticTG]

xD this is what americans use to 'hype' up games?... pathetic lol

[@crazyzippyfumblefish]

You can appreciate it when you realize how difficult it is. What customs do you do in your country to hype up before a game?

[@crazyzippyfumblefish]

What does the crowd do? You mean they just cheer? This is a unique thing that Ohio State University has, and some other colleges do. Also, as you can see there is no game being played.

[@GalacticTG]

just cheer?XD yes im aware that there is no game but still lol the atmosphere is whack even with a game playing. here in europe we have a much better atmosphere with firework tifos etc

[@crazyzippyfumblefish]

Well same in the US, just watch any big NFL game for instance.

[@seventeenfive4635]

KT Dude... Massive excited cheering crowds exist everywhere man. And at the Ohio Stadium that crowd sometimes exceeds 110,000 people. It’s hard to beat. And the band performance is entertaining as hell and the drum lines really do add to the excitement. It’s awesome! I’m sorry you don’t get that added level of excitement and entertainment at games in your country. Why do Europeans always trash talk our way of life? We are Americans. Americans are extra as fuck! Why? Because it’s fucking fun as hell and why not?
