Can we start getting stuff like this for Super Bowl halftime shows instead of garbage mini pop concerts?

[@rover7139]

You crazy as hell this complete garbage to most, you gotta be half dead to enjoy a band like this... It's the 21st century even high schools band stop these types of performances years ago.

[@charliefrey4782]

To see how engaged the crowd is and to give a standing ovation right as they complete the rotating horse during Zelda is amazing. These are college football fans, not fans at a drum corps show reacting that way. Truly amazing moment.

[@omarlemus4659]

How the hell did the stick bounce back to him?! 😵

[@JimmyMK]

From a physics standpoint, the stick is initially spinning in the counterclockwise direction. Once the end touches the ground, the ground exerts a torque causing the stick to now bounce back to the drum major but now in the clockwise direction. This works since there is enough friction between the stick and the ground, otherwise it would just slip and fall down flat. It is pretty much conservation of angular momentum.

It is so perfect , yet so difficult to do . I can't imagine how much work and hours they had to put in during band camp

[@samcecere9924]

Not very many hours at all. This might be unbelievable, but if you join TBDBITL, you learn a brand new show like that every single week, for every football game's half-time show. What's even more unbelievable, is that these are students from OSU, they still have to study, attend classes, have a social life, and all while being in an amazing marching band.

[@lightsoutisay]

I"m only 7 years late to your comment but that other person is right. These performances are learned so incredibly fast- it truly takes selecting the best students possible. It's so hard to get into this band, but also brutally hard to have a life outside of it. Impressive as f---- though!

[@arilovely27]

haha its very very hard!!!

[@AlexCreed]

its honestly not that hard

[@arilovely27]

Well I'm in 7th grade, and the assistant drum major and when you never get practices unless youre at home its very very hard for me at least. It takes lots of hard work and education. The problem was this year is I don't even play a marching instrument I play oboe, and had to use flute music and lower it an octave. Now I'm in beginning band again learning trumpet.

[@AlexCreed]

Just wait till highschool

[@arilovely27]

I know we played with the highschool a few weeks ago and we already play all the highschool music the highschoolers play and I'm on my second year T-T our band director is fucking crazy!! we had to memorize hard music that just looking at the music I could barely play!!

That drum major was doing very well. 2:10 is just perfect.

[@libbyprolo3104]

Omar Hernandez how does he do that i am confused

[@omarhernandez1065]

Libby Prolo He's using the counter rotation from spinning the baton in a certain direction. Since the floor is a force the baton can't move, the baton is pushed back going counterclockwise and coming back from its original point. Physics is involved in this. Now how he timed it to go perfectly with the song? Well he's just a god because of that.

[@libbyprolo3104]

Omar Hernandez thank you he is cool i want to be like him but i am not going to bc i want to be a cop but maybe lol how do you become one?

[@omarhernandez1065]

Libby Prolo No problem. Oh really? That's pretty cool. Well your band director has to select one. You have to show leadership abilities and the prowess to lead a band.

[@vct454]

Insane amounts of practice. I played football in high school and had some friends in marching band and they would still be practicing for hours after we were done. And that's just in high school, they'd do band camp in summer and the way they described it sounded more like a military boot camp.
