The announcer said the Ohio State marching band was formed in 1878 and carried the tradition of the oldest British brass bands, which began in 1809. The "Script Ohio" is the signature move of the band and they perform it every week before the kickoff of the university football games.

If you’d have actually been paying attention to the video then you’d have heard the announcer explain that Script Ohio is a famous long-standing tradition performed by the OSUMB. They’ve been doing it since 1936 and it’s the most well known tradition in college football, and has now become famous and recognizable around the world. It’s how they end every one of their pregame shows. It hasn’t always been a Sousaphone player who would dot the I. In the very beginning it was a trumpet player who would, but later got changed to a Sousaphone player so that it would be more visible and actually look more like an I dot.

I grew up watching the band do all kinds of fantastic routines. They are definitely a huge part of the culture of Columbus Ohio; the same as the college football team. The Alumni Band, as well as former player on the teams throughout the years, are huge draws at charitable events--we honor them quite a lot. Their sort of unofficial nickname is "TBDBITL" which means, "The Best Damned Band In The Land". One other little thing; the band members movements are extremely well coordinated; from their chop-like arm-swings, to their diced-minced steps. Oh, and yes, the Zuzsaphone player dotting the eye is a tradition honoring whoever dot's the "I". In their home stadium, there's usually 110,000 people seeing those guys be stationed there, not including the millions watching on TV. We've had many non-band members honored by dotting the I; world leaders, civic leaders, entertainers, former players and coaches. Dotting the I is a bag deal to this subset of Ohio Culture! I didn't think I'd have this much to say; but they are the best marching band in the world.

The reason they can get into and out of formation so quickly is because they march on their toes at 180 beats per minute and it has been known to reach 200 or higher. Also, the final formation was not part of the London "half-time" presentation. It is "Script Ohio" which is Ohio State University Marching Band's signature. It is performed at every football game the band performs at either home or away. It can be pre-game, post-game and sometimes at half-time like at this show. It was the first script writing formation ever performed and has been going strong since 1932.

As a veteran of marching bands, it's all about musical ques. At this point of the song, I need to be standing on this part of the field. And Football with all those lines, make it so easy to do. Then you memorize the music and movements and voila! You have a football march band halftime routine. Parades can be harder. That's a marathon. Halftime is easy. It's only 15 minutes. Making the routines, that's hard. Doing them? Pretty easy. I find it pretty hilarious that people are amazed by this. Grant it IS amazing, but it isn't hard. For marching bands, parades like Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is insane. People drop like flies. In my younger years I did this and it would be cool to do it except: a) I'm from Michigan, and is obligated to hate everything Ohio. and... b) It's a brass band. I played the flute. Sadness.
