Pregame - Ohio State vs. Notre Dame (Sept. 3, 2022)

[@judithmittelo2335]

I still get goosebump's the minute the band starts down the ramp. They just seem to be gliding and it is an awesome sight to see. So glad my grandson had the opportunity to be part of TBDBITL for 3 years.

[@henrymagoun3230]

That’s when it sunk in for me. I was like it’s finally here. IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON!

[@stevefranckhauser7989]

It’s the best part of every game for me.

[@jamesmarkscott6202]

@@stevefranckhauser7989 well i'm on the other side of that statement... but it wouldn't be tosu football w/o tbdbitl doing ramp to get it started.

What Judith said. My first game was in 1982. I was IN AWE with TBDBITL. Still am. TOTAL goosebumps!!

[@brianshepherd170]

I am from the UK and I am in awe at this - gives me the chills - would have loved to have been part of it - Go Buckeyes !

[@Angie-eb2ii]

I get chilled when TBDBITL does the opposing team logo each game; homes or aways. To me, they show the honors and the respects. Bravo OSUMB.

[@lilmoosic]

It always pisses me off when I hear people booing it, too. It's respectful and people just can't be nice. So gross.

[@kathyk1121]

I still get a lump in my throat when they dot the “I” - I was in the stands 50 years ago. Time flies.

[@stevecolby6177]

Try 70 years ago. OSU played Iowa and won 83-21. I was in the south end zone seats and had the band coming directly at me as they marched from north to south. Truly a life changing experience and they were only 120 in number in those days. It seems like yesterday.....

[@garyneidhardt1362]

The members of the band change every year. But the performance stays the same giving it a timeless spirituality that lifts the heart. I never tire of watching the pregame.

[@michellemarston5594]

They are just wonderful to watch. How could anyone(except Michigan) get tired of watching and hearing them.

👍🏼 I know plenty of people from TSUN who enjoy TBDBITL as well. They’re such an important part of the American 🇺🇸 Iconography

[@JamieSmith-fz2mz]

Hello from Michigan. I became a fan of this band when I heard it had no woodwinds! True story. 100% brass is much more powerful. Like drum corps. But golly! Where was the microphone for this recording? Dayton?

I was impressed that they 1) formed ND'S logo and 2) played the Fightin Irish fight song. Kudos to the OSUMB!!

What amazes me is, although this is still the beginning of football season but their formation and performances are perfectly in shape

that might necessitate a 25 minute version of 'le regiment' to get all the letters in, but this is the band who could pull that off. ;)

[@joshuadunkerson1080]

Why no Carmen. I love when the crowd sings along

[@jamesmarkscott6202]

for some reason (i assume tv timing) saturday night the band did the alma mater at the end of the halftime show.

[@StephenKrak]

Believe me, the i-dotter was bummed, too. Carmen is their chance to soak it in after script. The very fun Navy sky divers took up a lot of pregame time and something had to be cut, so they moved Carmen to halftime. Ah well. O-H!

[@CharlieGroh]

I’m a marching band geek my whole life and WHAT A GAS it would be to see/hear OSU and Texas A&M do their shows back to back!!! Two historically great programs with radically distinctly different, yet excellent, styles…

I’m surprised they never let the Notre Dame band march during pregame or halftime.

[@jamesmarkscott6202]

tosu already had the u.s. navy leap frog parachute team scheduled for pre-game, which btw was absolutely spectacular. plus the osumb had about 250-300 lighted drones as part of its halftime show which was amazing in the night sky above the south stands scoreboard. that said, in a game of this stature between 2 such tradition-rich programs, i wish the nd band would have been allowed to march at least pre-game. i know sitting in michigan stadium last year and seeing, for the first time ever to my knowledge, the osumb sitting not on the field as it has for decades but literally at the top of the stands in the southeast corner, it felt very wrong. um said it was due to pandemic protocols. i hope that was the case.
