Join The Ohio State University Marching Band for its pregame performance before Ohio State faced Penn State on Oct. 30, 2021. Connor Oppy was the i-dotter for Script Ohio.
The way they *glide* out of that tunnel is like they're on an escalator. And to Mr. Drum Major: *Your backbend is EVERYTHING!!!* John LaVange is the only other drum major that I've seen (and of course I've not seen them all) who can do a back bend like that without spreading the legs. Kudos to you Sir and the entire TBDBITL.
I know, right? I just got done watching a video taken by a band member's GoPro during a pregame performance. They really do march that smoothly. The camera didn't bounce up and down at all. Pretty cool how they can do that!
It's all in the step. They point their feet to reduce the bounce. Kind of easier to see with the white shoe covers. Which incidentally makes it so much easier to see if someone is out of step. It was a point of pride to have your shoes stand out for that reason. Well at least during my HS days.
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the stamina it would take to do these performances? Their feet and legs are in constant motion, even if they're staying in one place. They have to have the lung capacity to play the instrument while quickstep matching into the various formations. They have to manage all this while executing the formations, being in the right place at the right time, being able to instantly adjust to any unforseen circumstances that may happen. You gotta be pretty athletic to make the grade in this band, and Mr. Drum Major REALLY has to be in top condition to do the stuff he does. It's a pretty amazing accomplishment to make the grade here.
@@me-ib1zo I love football, always have. For some unknown reason one day a video of drum major auditions for Ohio came across my feed. I've kinda been obsessed with this band since that day lol. I was a girl jock in HS and college and never gave a lot of thought to band people. But watching these videos made me realize that these kids are not only musicians, but athletes as well. Where was your band camp and what instrument do you play? Lol, I've even watched 'Drumline' probably 10 times since I became a Buckeye band fan because the process fascinates me so much. I'd love to read your experience if you have time to share it. Thanks for your response and stay hydrated in that heat! 🙂
@@superdill6665 only 1 year marching in hs as an alto sax, but from my experience, even in new england temps, it still got over 100 degrees consistently during band camp (marching band gets together to practice a week before the school year starts). we would just repeat sets (each move) slowly for hours. got sunburned but it was really fun. playing at games was fun, and i’m really looking forward to sophomore year
I went to Ohio State when Archie Griffin and the boys were there. FANTASTIC football, and one thing you could always count on was The Best Damned Band in the Land. We had a drum major who absolutely fantastic!!!
♥️♥️♥️to every member of this organization- MIND BLOWING talent! I cried seeing your you tube performance of Top Gun! Amazing talent, long practices and perseverance - From a UGA Dawg graduate ♥️♥️♥️
So happy to see this again! (I love Script Ohio!) And the Star Spangled Banner! and with all those in the stadium singing! Beautiful Tribute to our Nation!
Ohio State just does everything the best...their games are worth every penny and it just puts a smile on your face....unless the game doesn't go well lol but they usually do
I've seen this intro over 100 + times on TH-cam, and it never ceases to amaze me. I hope to one day get a chance to go to Ohio Stadium and see TBDBITL live in their performance where they've also invited the football team to play 😅
I performed in field shows for 4 years, but nothing approaching this band. Until you've actually done it, you can't appreciate how freaking amazing these guys are. They bring the fire every damn time.
Loved the show. You need to come over to Penn State and show lazy Greg Drane how to do an imaginative, creative, mesmerizing show. His shows are such snoozers and Blue Banders are disappointed in just how tired and played the shows are. Thanks for a real halftime show.
Entrance is iconic and Script Ohio is legendary. However, I think the flow of the Ohio State pregame show is kind of beneath the caliber of the band with all those scatter drills.

I’d love to know how they do that smooth walk. It’s fascinating to me. And that’s a great description… like coming down an escalator.

As a former PSU Blue Band member, I really enjoyed they made the Blue Band PSU (with the pointy s) the way we do. B1G bands always show respect.

hardest thing is bandcamp and standing out in the sun repeating sets in 100 degree weather

Let's not forget memorizing the music.
@@FaithfulPuppy forgot about that, but at least the music is fun and (usually) easy
Love it. I get goosebumps every time I watch Ohio State band do the script Ohio.
I went to this game and there’s nothing like seeing it at night before a prime time game.

Was the drum major Dwight? He invented the thing where he bounces the baton off of the turf..
Hands down Ohio has the best marching band and drill sets.

Best damn band!

Best Damn Band in the land n Team to go with it I ❤ Ohio

*Que Show incrível, parabéns por essas imagens* 😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Best part of going to a game, and if you haven't put it on your bucket list.The game is actually better on T.V you can see where the ball is!
The stamina/endurance/strength/coordination and time spent practicing is practically on par with the athletes.
Damn, now I’m a Bucks fan for life and I’m not even American 😂
To this day 30 years after college, I still have dreams about line to line 8 step counts and not hitting my marks.
I dont go to Ohio state nor have I ever been to Ohio... but this gave me pride in Ohio!
This why I LOVE college football!!!
The best marching band on the planet.
Love this! Great performance! These young adults are pros!! Way to go!!
I've seen this intro over 100 + times on TH-cam, and it never ceases to amaze me.
I hope to one day get a chance to go to Ohio Stadium and see TBDBITL live in their performance where they've also invited the football team to play 😅
Its truly an awesome experience man. Nothing else like going to a buckeyes football game
Go bucks
I'll take the pregame over the halftime show any day of the week. I just wish the networks would show it sometime.
This song was originally a French war song called "Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse" you can hear it on this site.
I LOVED THIS IT brought me wayyyyyyyyyy back to band and I forgot how presvie it is. MCK BAND CANTON OHIO 1999 graduate
I performed in field shows for 4 years, but nothing approaching this band. Until you've actually done it, you can't appreciate how freaking amazing these guys are. They bring the fire every damn time.
The two dislikes on this video are from Penn State.
These guys are still great !
As a graduate, it makes me very prowd every time I see The Best Damn Band In The Land! TBDBITL
Brilliant!!! Awesome!!!
I watched that in person
As a senior band student in my hs I can confirm that's alot of trombone and susaphone(marching tuba)
This is the perfect marching band 🥰
Loved the show. You need to come over to Penn State and show lazy Greg Drane how to do an imaginative, creative, mesmerizing show. His shows are such snoozers and Blue Banders are disappointed in just how tired and played the shows are. Thanks for a real halftime show.
That's too bad, because the Blue Band is great, and clearly capable of more than they are currently being challenged with.
The marching band is the only part I watch!
GOOSEBUMPS
Tears in my eyes
I found it funny when the band started moving from the team entrance formation and the coaches were a bit slow in getting out.
I'm proud to be a buckeye!!
No band compares with them
Entrance is iconic and Script Ohio is legendary. However, I think the flow of the Ohio State pregame show is kind of beneath the caliber of the band with all those scatter drills.
happy :)
Reason why they call us the best damn band in the land
If that doesn't put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye...
Is there a conductor for the crowd? Most crowds get off beat by the third measure whenever they try to clap along.
so cool🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🎺🎺🎺🎺💰💰💰💰💰💰
What’s that flying thing in 07:30
only in Ohio my friend 💀
A camera
Hi!🙏🏾💕🥰🤭💕!
No band better.....in my opinion.
Best in USA 😂😂😂😂❤️💕💕❤️
and to think.. this was when they were playoff bound.... oops!!! least CJ stroud still wins the heisman... oops!!!
great band though...
Florida A and M University (FAMU) was doing this double time cadence and quick step band entrance back in the late 50's early 60's.
The ramp entrance has been virtually unchanged since 1928
OSU has been doing it for almost 100 years 😂
Okay?
So?
That band looks puny. So few band members!
