The Ohio State Marching Band

[Kurt]

Script Ohio

The signature formation of the Ohio State Marching Band performed before, during halftime or after home football games.

Each time the formation drill is performed, a different fourth- or fifth-year sousaphone player has the privilege of standing as the dot in the ?i? of ?Ohio.?
At exactly 16 measures from the end of ?Le Regiment,? the drum major struts out toward the top of the ?i,? with a senior sousaphone player high-stepping a couple of paces behind. As the crowd?s cheering crescendos, the drum major stops and dramatically points to the spot, and the sousaphone player assumes the post of honor, doffs his or her hat and bows deeply to both sides of the stadium. Woody Hayes and Bob Hope are among the select few non-band members who have had the honor of dotting the ?i.?

And their performance at the BCS game was impressive.

They spell nicely.



I don't doubt they are good, but until you've seen The rattlers of FAMU you have not seen a marching band.

BINGO! The Bayou Classic Battle of the Bands is pretty much the super bowl of bands-Southern versus Grambling.

The midwest might have the best marching bands,but their football teams just aren't very good. The FAMU Rattlers are an AWESOME marching band !!
