The people in the red shirts are returning alumni band members and every year they play one show with the current band. Also the single guys are returning drum majors like The guy with the white hat that leads the band.
When I was a girl my father was a Professor of Chemistry at OSU and every Saturday this was part of our lives. The Ohio State Marching Band is so legendary, and as you see with good reason. Thank you so much for reacting to them.
What an awesome video! All the practice & all the choreography is truly amazing. Thank you so much for reacting to this. Recky & Carol you guys ROCK😉❤Good luck with your move. Lots of love form Indianapolis!
Greetings from Columbus , Ohio , home of The Ohio State University and it's fabulous marching band ... so much fun watching you watching our local celebrities (lol) do their thing ! These kids are as prized as the football team ... they work so hard !
Not the best just cuz they proclaim it. That's like the scene in ELF where Will Ferrell sees a sign at a diner Worlds Greatest Coffee and says congratulations you did it!
You'll also remember the whole band is in college and when they graduate they leave the band how about every 4 to 5 years they've totally replace the whole band with new members
I loved being in marching band. It was a great time. Especially just spending time with your friends traveling to games on the bus or hanging around in the down times. I'm also happy I participated before everyone had a smartphone. ;) Some memories are better left to the mind instead of digital history.
I grew up in Ohio, so seeing "script OHIO" and the senior members of the band who get to "dot the i" still makes me emotional. It was wonderful to see a tuba player get to be the dot on the i. It is amazing to see the marching band of Ohio State. They are legend.
I bet you two are as excited as they come! Just think, a couple of weeks from now you'll be finally unpacked and settling into your new home. Much love
Recky and Carol, when you come to visit the USA, please stop in the Midwest and catch a game in Columbus and root on the Buckeyes. The stadium, the band, the campus. You will love Ohio, Columbus & THE Ohio State University. Recky will love Skyline Chili and White Castle. Too many people visiting the USA only see NYC, Miami or Las Vegas. Our country has so much to offer in the middle. Go Buckeyes!!!!
I was in our high school marching band and orchestra. During football season we performed a new half time show every week! Of course, the shows weren’t at the level of the Ohio State band, but they were not bad. One of my best high school memories! 😁
I marched in a band in high school. It is amazing how counting steps and knowing when to turn makes these amazing routines. I loved my years of doing this!!
I grew up within walking distance of the OSU stadium, and I had a season ticket to the OSU football games when I was 7 years old. (My parents and sisters are all alumnae of the university.) One interesting thing about the OSU band is that it is composed of all BRASS and percussion instruments---no woodwinds (no flutes, clarinets, saxaphones, etc.). The script OHIO formation is a long standing tradition since the 1930s. In a normal performance, there is just one, OHIO; but once a year, the alumni band returns and they are able to do THREE or FOUR OHIOs on the field. It stirs my soul every time I see it.
THe Ohio State University is only 10 minutes away from where I live. I would think hockey was very popular in Sweden? By the way, I am wearing the "It's Not a Cooking Show" T-shirt right now! what a coincidence!
@Pahdopony, My sister was lead clarinet for The Michigan marching band in the mid 90's. I have an appreciation for the physical training they go through! Much respect. I will NOT compliment the football team! 😂😂
Marching band starts in high school. In Texas, they start practice in July. First is halftime shows during games. After the season, marching competition begins. I raised two band weenies (their term), and my oldest granddaughter was in band, the youngest is in band now, freshman season, with my grandson coming along in two years. They learn discipline, hard work, teamwork. Both of my daughters favorite teacher was mr. Kelly, the band director. He was a real hardass but he produced one of the best bands in Texas year after year.
I'm from ohio, and they started teaching us how to march in 6th grade and we start working with the marching band in 7th and 8th, learning as well as helping out the high school band.. as aides.
Now you need to watch the movie Forest Gump.😊 Would make a great reaction vlog for you two. The music is from the movie. The feather at the beginning is how the movie starts and ends.
I live 2 hours north of Columbus, ohio. Always wanted to see a game there. There are SO many very good marching bands. Each have their own style. But they all take it serious and all the hard work. They practice even harder than the athletes. Even the high school band. Glad you enjoy all the things "WE" take for granted here. Just tried the Funyon wavy potato chips. They were very good.
If you guys ever come to visit the US, make sure it's during College football season. I know a guy that can get you tickets to the Ohio State game so you can see the marching band in person! Much love, from Ohio!!!!!
I went to this University a few years . They take a lot of pride in their football team , and that includes the band. To be honest , I wasn't into football . Looks like I missed out on a good show . lol
Once a year the former band members return to play one more time. This year the members were from the 1950s on. The band members in red are the Alumni Band. Each game Script Ohio is preforned. You should try out the Ramp Entrance
On a more serious note, have you all watched any of the coverage of the Carolina and Tennessee Valley flooding? Kagan Dunlap has a quick video that’s titled Tropical Storm Helene Destroyed Western North Carolina.
Not an Ohio fan, but who could deny that their band in one of the very best. I have a suggestion for a reaction for both of you, but it is not a band, It is a drone show put on by Sky Element. It is titled "EPIC PATRIOTIC Drone Show (1,000 Drones!) Fourth of July Show". There are many drone shows, but this is my favorite. Another great reaction from our favorite Swedes. Well done again.
They aren't called the TBDBITL for nothing. All shows are for memory as for the music and the choreography. The red shirts that surrounded the band is the Alumni band. That comes to "March one more time". The Script Ohio is normally in Preshow program. A ranking of College bands had Ohio State as the #1 band in the country.
As a VERY BIG Fan of the Michigan Wolverine,. Whom last year took home the National Championship. I'm a fan of The Ohio State matching band. Yes we are a 'huge.rivalry with this team. A HUGE RIVLERY. Forest Gump is an iconic movie which will be around for many years to come.
The only ones that know them as TBDBITL are the band members themselves. Ok so they make formations th at look like a stick man running or walking, I will give them an ounce of credit for that, But while they're matching, their music sounds like it's coming out of an old Victoria record player, skipping notes and parts of songs!
As a native Californian (now a young 75) growing up watching the big college rivalries, I honestly grew to favor Michigan (sorry) over OU. (It was those Wolverine helmets I fell in love with at 19, lol.) However always gotta give props to OU's Marching band - I think they were/are still the best. Yes others have their own unique styles like the HBCU schools but still give #1 to OU for their Marching band.
OSU, my west coast friend. We also have an OU (Ohio University) and it's different. Or if you want to be more formal about THE Ohio State University. ❤️🤍
Don't get me wrong - the OSU band is great. But, don't sell the Swedes short. Take a look at this. The Swedes know how to do a very different but just as wonderful 'half time show' - ESC 2013 FINAL - Petra Mede - Swedish Smörgåsbord. BTW, I am in love with Petra Mede...
The worst part is there’s no real jobs for this after college and they’ve started paying college football players and if you’re good we talking millions
They are so good & you can actually tell what songs they're playing with some bands you can't tell what song they are playing. Then to play & run & remember where they have to be on a huge football field & be out of breath while playing their instruments. Just amazing I really enjoyed watching that with you both. I hope the move is going well & I know you have a house full of boxes & everything is out of place but it will get there little by little & just don't over do it trying to get it all put in it's place. We don't mind that & know it will take a while. 💜🙏😍😼😼📦📦📦📦📦🤎🌻🪻
You are correct Friend. Us Americans don’t half ass anything. We are always fully assed! 😂
unfortunately we half-ass a lot of things. but when it comes to showmanship, hype/buzz, and entertainment, we generally don't.
The people in the red shirts are returning alumni band members and every year they play one show with the current band. Also the single guys are returning drum majors like The guy with the white hat that leads the band.
Thank you. 👍
When I was a girl my father was a Professor of Chemistry at OSU and every Saturday this was part of our lives. The Ohio State Marching Band is so legendary, and as you see with good reason. Thank you so much for reacting to them.
When the alumni band come they do 4 script Ohio's some of the alumni band may be in their 70's.
Whomever caught the sound on this one did FAR better than some of their videos!
The Best Damn Band In The Land! That's our Ohio State Marching Band!
Best damn band in the land. The band practice is as hard as the football practice. You should see the entry when they do script Ohio.
That's awesome 🎉🎉🎉
What an awesome video! All the practice & all the choreography is truly amazing. Thank you so much for reacting to this. Recky & Carol you guys ROCK😉❤Good luck with your move. Lots of love form Indianapolis!
Countdown to moving date begins!! Congrats!
Greetings from Columbus , Ohio , home of The Ohio State University and it's fabulous marching band ... so much fun watching you watching our local celebrities (lol) do their thing ! These kids are as prized as the football team ... they work so hard !
Call Back: O-H
@@yvonnewakefield7748 I-O ... go Bucks !!!!!
I-O ... GO BUCKS !!!!!
Not the best just cuz they proclaim it. That's like the scene in ELF where Will Ferrell sees a sign at a diner Worlds Greatest Coffee and says congratulations you did it!
Hi you two! I really am happy to have found you guys on TH-cam!
And THAT is why they are called TBDBITL ( the best damn band in the land ) LOL
That was an amazing performance.
Recky I see the love & pride you feel for our Country ❤ You too Carol !! We also ❤you and you both have become like family ❤❤
You'll also remember the whole band is in college and when they graduate they leave the band how about every 4 to 5 years they've totally replace the whole band with new members

I went to school at Ohio State University. We used to watch the band practice during their routines. That last one they did is called Script Ohio.
I always loved the way the tubas dot the “i” in Ohio at the end. 😄

Ohio State: where football is for the guys who couldn't make it in the marching band.
I bet you two are as excited as they come! Just think, a couple of weeks from now you'll be finally unpacked and settling into your new home. Much love
Just watched them live at the game last week. Going to another soon. Theres nothing like being there and taking it all in! I hope you get to do that!

Hats off to the Ohio Marching Band. What an excellent show!

Wow! I had no idea, I've never seen that before. Absolutely amazing.
Great vid guys ❤

Ugh, ok I'll admit they're really good. That's hard for a Michigander, U of M fan, to admit! 😂
As an alum of OSU, I’m glad to hear it! lol
hahahaha

Marching Band is very big in the US. It is Big even in Middle and High School.
My favorite is the Top Gun performance ❤
Some of these kids have been training for a dozen years or so, between school, tutors and band camps, to be on that field in Scarlet and Gray. O H
I O !
One of the best college traditions at the end from “The Best Damn Band in the Land.” Script Ohio
Carol the black shirt with the red Ohio is the band’s script Ohio formation
Now you need to watch the movie Forest Gump.😊 Would make a great reaction vlog for you two. The music is from the movie. The feather at the beginning is how the movie starts and ends.
We both seen it many times tho
Another amazing performance from these guys! That was cool.
Very cool!!

Wait til you see their other ones!
The ramp entrance before each game and script Ohio is always amazing!!!
If you guys ever come to visit the US, make sure it's during College football season. I know a guy that can get you tickets to the Ohio State game so you can see the marching band in person! Much love, from Ohio!!!!!
❤ Sweden 🇸🇪 has a world class Curling program as well - HURRY HARD
I went to this University a few years . They take a lot of pride in their football team , and that includes the band. To be honest , I wasn't into football . Looks like I missed out on a good show . lol

This is my favorite band outside of my HBCUs.

Recky " you never know what to expect". Forrest "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get."
Only the best of the best make it and start training like one week after they get in school

Forest Gump is an iconic movie which will be around for many years to come.
Hi I love that movie as well. Maybe when u have time watch the green mile. It is a long movie. Have a gr8 weekend. Don't get stressed with the move.❤❤

USC Trojans!
It's a shame you decided to pick Ohio State when Penn State is so much better!!!!
WE ARE!!!😹
They are so good & you can actually tell what songs they're playing with some bands you can't tell what song they are playing. Then to play & run & remember where they have to be on a huge football field & be out of breath while playing their instruments. Just amazing I really enjoyed watching that with you both. I hope the move is going well & I know you have a house full of boxes & everything is out of place but it will get there little by little & just don't over do it trying to get it all put in it's place.
