ULTIMATE BOAT RIDE with the OSU MARCHING BAND!

[@Dld1985]

Is there anything more American and more spirited than a University Band ! I'm not a Ohio State fan but this was absolutely great !

[@gnojoe6359]

There's football and military.

[@seamus1956]

+Joseph Ludwig Yes there is, but BOTH have bands!

[@alexismaddie__]

seamus1956 Incorrect. The BAND has football teams and the military.

[@treestump6558]

[@earlcampbell8927]

I sat in the visitors section with 4,000 VT fans- all amazed adoring fans of our band. TBDBITL🇺🇸

[@tylerbrown1159]

I thought band members couldn't sing lol thats why i was in band

[@SkylarMariee1]

Tyler Brown 😂

[@tukedmj]

Musicians can ;)

[@ShadeMiller]

in my band we sing the alma mater and such (actually learn the words/notes etc) and we have some great singers

[@coldstreamer6252]

lol I play cymbals we can't sing ;0

[@SafetyTheDuck]

For the Bluecoats we have to sing.

[@amanda8080s]

My high school uses their “across the field march” for our fight song, and it was kinda funny because we were in the Michigan State University homecoming parade and we were told many times not to play it.

[@amanda8080s]

dylan selles same, and we came up with our own words for the song, and everyone at the game sings along.

[@gatesdabaws9556]

A_Man_Da 0808 oh nice we also use it

[@MachineWashableKatie]

@@dylanselles3743 funny thing, our school's fight song is Victors. We're a high stepping band based on the university of mn

[@slybitch4769]

Amanda Stokes we play on the hill of the field and then do our chant,fight song,then run to our pre-game chart and then when we touchdown we play glory,glory

[@WickedWilhelm]

missed opportunity in my eyes

[@natsudragneelmusic3188]

I love how they play while docking so that every ship/boat and person that's leaving and standing at the docks can hear them coming home and then someone sets off fireworks to welcome them home and people in thier community gather to cheer and welcome them back aswell. And people are sounding their ship's horns.😊🐉🐘 Is the entire population of Ohio gathered there?😞🐉🐘

[@christinacope562]

No the island is not very big.

[@Oykontop]

They were not going home

[@brittneywhite3941]

From a former University of Alabama Million Dollar Band member... You guys are awesome! Very talented group! I have always enjoyed OSU's fight song! Trumpet salute!

[@noahbarnette8178]

[@PatrickRyan150]

Love Bama's tradition too! GO BUCKS. ROLL TIDE!!!

[@scotttaylor7146]

In case anyone is wondering, this was for the 200th anniversary of a naval victory off of the very tiny island of Put In Bay, Ohio, in Lake Erie. Unless you own your own boat, this ferry is generally the only way on or off the island itself. The large crowds that managed to gather in spite of this were to help celebrate this once-in-a-century commemoration. The tall ship at 6:21 is a replica of the Us Brig Niagara, the hero of the battle itself. The battle flag used by the Americans, "Don't Give Up The Ship", is also plastered everywhere throughout the video. More information can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lake_Erie

[@daichishimmura9886]

imagine being a casual passenger and hearing this band playing sing music all day long

[@HinataElyonToph]

Imagine just being out on a different boat and just seeing a boat come past yours with an entire marching band on it XD

[@woutermelis]

Huge fan of the OSU Marching Band, i'm from the Netherlands and i'm planning on making a trip through the US of A and on of the things on my list to do is see this awesome band! Hopefully i see them within a few years from now

[@BrownWolverine]

Good luck getting tickets to an Ohio State game. However, whether you do or not, you can always hit up the Skull Session which occurs 2 hours before kickoff. It's open to anyone. They run through all the music they'll play that day. It's a dress rehearsal/pep rally. If there's a visiting band, they will play too. Then if you do have tickets, make sure you get to your seat to see pre-game. Stay in your seat for halftime, and watch them during postgame, both on and off the field.

[@shyryTsr2k]

Welcome to the States!😄 Good luck with your adventures and hopefully you enjoy your stay here. 🙏

[@Anna-kz3wi]

Did you ever see them?

[@slappy1234567]

I NEVER GET TIRED OF SEEING THIS !!!! THIS IS THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND AT ITS FINEST !!!!

The trumpet player at 4:16 playing Hang On Sloopy is my old band director if I'm not mistaken! He works at the University now.

[@emmahochstetler6797]

I'm southern (UNC is my team) and my husband is Ohio through & through. Don't tell him I love the band!

Who doesn't think this is so incredibly truly awesome! I wish I could see something like this! How amazing!!!

[@feraltrafficcone4483]

5:21 their coming into port war song starts

[@eleanorburgin6955]

We were there and watched them land on the Island, & march through the Town. Later we sat and watched them play at the Monument. It was the highlight of our weekend. Now I'm so happy we were there that weekend, because my Big OSU fan, my husband, passed away 7 years ago this past Memorial Day weekend, but he was able to see His Buckeye Marching Band in person. He was thrilled. ❣️

[@debbiepearce322]

I love the OSU band. My husband was a huge fan of both the team & the band. Keep up the good work. GO BUCKEYES

[@eggselent1248]

This makes me feel so ready to go into highschool marching band!! YEAH BASS!!!

[@britomicgamer922]

Well this isn’t exactly Highschool Marching this is better, if you want something to compare to use DCI but those are like the pros, it’s like comparing the NFL to High School football

[@fuzzyfox9728]

Every non band people: band is so lame Ohio's band: pretty much having more fun then them

[@YYG]

Oof this is ehy band people get so much bad rep

[@fuzzyfox9728]

[@randyharris9868]

TBDBITL! These young adults are having a blast! I’m having a blast watching them. Love the robust sound from the deck, sounds powerful with headphones. Thanks to all.

[@panzerwolf494]

What this video reminds me of was being a kid in my home town. We had two grade schools, a middle school, and a high school. On homecoming the high school band and the parade would head past all the schools around the town and end up back at the stadium next to the high school and kids would be lead out to the side of the road to watch the parade pass. Even before you could see it you could hear the cadences and music echoing through the neighborhood. the whole parade route was just over 5 miles long. I eventually got to take part when I got to high school and while the way I had to carry my instrument for the parade really wore out the arm, it was always a blast and I loved it. Now well into my adulthood I still miss those parades. I don't know if they even do them anymore. But the sounds of the music in the distance just always excites me, i become a kid again.

Each band member has an iPad that they use to learn their drill and music. NBC did a story on it a while back.

[@pikcube]

ryanjhamm Not really, it's just a statement of fact. I in a marching band and I'm jealous of their iPads, they are awesome. But I question how is me saying they do it with iPads a slam? Just because something is done with the assistance of a computer doesn't make it any less impressive.
