Venezuela Girl Reacts to Ohio State Marching Band Hollywood Blockbusters Halftime Show

[@russellgtyler8288]

Both of my daughters were "band weenies," their term. The amount of work that goes into a halftime show and a state marching competition is insane, and that was high school. They started practice in june to be ready for the fall season.

-GO BUCKS!!!!!!! TBDBITL(THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND)!!!! -They plot the entire show on a computer and practice the movements to the counts(beats) of the music. -They have from one to two weeks to implement and practice a show depending on how long it is before the next home game. --The other ship and the researcher were representations of our rival, "The Team Up North", University of Michigan. This is the LONGEST known rivalry in both college and professional football.

[@rodshoaf]

It's also the greatest sports rivalry ever! 🙂

I was in marching band, way back in the 80s. We did field shows like this. The practice started well before school did, and that was my first year in High School.

The Best Damned Band In The Land

[@davidkettell6236]

i wanted to say that ?

[@wwtrevaeww]

I don't know if she understands the people marching are the ones playing the instrument's.

[@stpetie7686]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[@Macdelaven]

Ohio State band puts on one of the best halftime shows. The ship that was sunk carried their arch rival Michigan's banner. At large universities, the marching bands have their own practice field so it is serious business.

[@bob_._.]

What you heard at the beginning, when the band takes to the field at halftime, they chant "Pick your feet up! Turn your corners square! And Drive! Drive! Drive!" All the band members are students and put in 30 hr/week practice, along with their normal classwork. They develop six or seven shows for the 12 week long football season. They made a documentary a few years ago, "TBDBITL 141" available here on KZbin, that followed the band through its 141st year of existence.

[@keithcaserta]

They do a different show every 1 to 2 weeks. And remember, they're playing their instruments while marching.

[@prischm5462]

I have seen this a few times on You Tube but I loved your reaction.

[@williamholloway8668]

The ohio state marching band is known as the best damn band in the land. They learn to play the song and the steps to the show.

[@thomasgraham1138]

I know in High school the marching bands practice 4 -5 days a week before the football season. Then they will have practice every day except Wed. (at least here in Texas) they have a game on Friday nights and then they will have practices or a competition (or both) on Saturdays. THere was one week a year that my kiddos had 5 performances including friday night halftime and several practices all in an 8 day time frame. That's why most band kids are exempt from taking separate phys ed classes.

[@tomross6652]

Look it up, their best one was a Michael Jackson tribute, they formed a giant M.J. snd he moonwalks across the field

[@PieterF]

You should also see Crescendo. They are a marching band, who are actually not marching but riding bicycles.

[@marysmith-ps7uj]

The guy in the middle is the drum major, hon!

[@MilliePowell-t5r]

Check out their Script Ohio routine.

[@sumdolt8948]

The are college students and get a little less than a week to prep

[@RubyGB]

The band members are carrying carrying and playing musical instruments performing the music you hear.

[@Daehawk]

Venezuela are so pretty.

[@flash1660]

You want to see the Michael Jackson halftime Show

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Watch the Michael Jackson show

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

You do know they are all playing an instrument while doing this.

[@gmunden1]

"Lord of the Rings " and "Game of Thrones" are the second and third.

[@frankiek2269]

There wasn’t a Game of Thrones in this. It was Harry Potter. The announcer even clearly stated Wizarding World.

[@RonHouck-eb1cn]

They have show of Micheal Jackson, Disney, and Led Zepplin. If you want to see a good example of their timing while marching, check out the pregame show where they do Script Ohio.

[@tommarks3726]

There are more videos out there of the Ohio State marching band doing similar routines. The are amazing. OH, there is something called DCI. it is also bands but different type. strong brass section horns..give it a try hermosa.

[@duanetelesha]

Yes there is a conductor at the 50 yard line look closer and on the field there is a what is called a Drum Major. How do they do this practice, practice, practice.

[@patticriss2238]

And then a little more practice. Two of my sisters paid for college, got scholarships, for marching band. IN TEXAS!!! Huge business. By the time you would be chosen by the college you an old pro.

[@stephenneal9218]

He's the drum major......he's the leader.

[@mrtonyo1965]

Ohio State Alumnus class of 1978, and the football games, plus the band is always a great experience. Go Buckeyes.

[@Arminius420]

So much talent all for just a college ball game XD

[@kermitcook8498]

Thank you for watching a typical high-end college marching band. You can see a show similar to this at 50% of stadiums every week during football season. Some are better than others due to recruiting and funding, but they all do pretty much the same thing. HBCU bands are much more energetic, driven by the bass line and percussion, but they too are pretty much march and play stop and dance bands. The only school I know that never stops playing and never stops marching is Texas A&M's Fighting Aggie band. I'm from Missouri and have no dog in the fight, but there is, in my opinion, no equal to what the Aggies do. Thanks again. M-I-Z

[@mr.righty6985]

Yes, indeed. They are good, but they are no OSU

[@OHCelt]

A&M's Band is a strictly military style band, so comparing it to Ohio State's Band makes no sense. They are different animals.

[@kermitcook8498]

@OHCelt that's true A&M is a Marching band and OSU and the majority of others are Bands that march. Thanks

[@OHCelt]

@@kermitcook8498 Not really.

[@HeedTheLorax]

Oh my gawd, this one needs to let her naturally blonde hair color show and put on a MAGA hat so we are warned
