Excellent! I saw this dance/march done at a wedding recently, and it was a blast! This video shows exactly how it is done, who goes where when. Now I think I could lead a grand march another time, and continue the fun. Thank you for posting this! --Emdeejay
Amusing choice of music; that's a cut from the University of Michigan symphonic band recording made under the direction of William D. Revelli, and I recall listening to it on the original vinyl during the 1970s. And yes, it is an arrangement of the fight song from "THE" Ohio State University. There's an excellent recording by the band "Spare Parts," called The Civil War Ballroom, including a nice long march medley. Nine minutes. They have another CD, Returning Heroes, with another Grand March cut that runs 9:44. Highly recommend. (I'm a dance caller who often leads the grand march)
