I'm glad you guys enjoyed this. As you're becoming aware, college football is a big deal in the US, and along with that, at most schools, is their marching band. The Ohio State Marching Band is certainly the pride of Ohio. It has 228 members, and usually a couple thousand people apply to be in it each year. There is a running joke amongst those in the know that the band has a larger budget than most other schools' football programs. It really is a site to behold seeing them live.

The OSU marching band really is The Best Damned Band In The Land (TBDBITL). Not only their marching, which is insane, but their musicianship is amazing. To see and hear them live is a real treat. I'm a proud alum. And me Mum-in-Law was a Brit, so the London visit is really special!

Dotting the I in Script Ohio is a big honor and each week a different person does it. There are times when they bring someone special on the field to dot the I and it is an honor for them. Yes, the band was there for the NFL.

To answer why they came to London the NFL invited them and really could you have refused such an opportunity?

@StfuFFS

Watching Brits react to football it's obvious there is a market for American football over there. It's just the time difference is a drag. A west coast morning game, 10a PST kickoff, is 6pm in London. And that puts the Sunday night game, 5pm PST kick off, starts at 1am GMT. Its just problematic. And when you consider how many times Canada and Mexico have tried to get NFL or MLB teams and it just failed, while being in the same timezones, getting a team to London is a hurtle that it may take faster airtravel to conquer.

The two sousaphone (marching tuba) players who dotted the i in Ohio at the end - that was a really big deal to them. It's a group of the best brass players in the country who wind up in the band in the first place and then it's the best senior year tuba who dots the i.

We take the last 5 minutes of the second quarter of football to get drinks and eats. Half time is very entertaining in Columbus. Don’t want to miss it. They are that good.

The best damn band in the land. Go Buckeyes!

I was from a small town in eastern Ohio. Our band was huge compared to school size. (grad class 95 kids...band size 115). When the football team went into summer sessions, so did we. Some of my best high school memories are band competitions, Friday night football games, and travel expeditions to Orlando, FL.

Learn the music, learn the moves, and find time to do their course work. Mercy!

Yup, they were chosen for the simple fact that they're the best band ever. The things they do are amazing.

My daughter marched in an award winning high school band, they practiced endlesly in all kinds of weather, marched for miles, practiced maneuvers, they were invited to England and other countries to play. I am always so proud to see these young people have a love of music and classical instruments. They and their parents put in many hours of fund raising so all the kids can go on these trips. Our favorite college band is University of Georgia Red Coat Band. But most all are good at this level of play.

I loved marching band at Iowa. Made some very good friends in college. We did this in high school so we were used to reading charts when we got to school as freshman but they were so much cooler. Yeah it's still hard playing trumpet and doing the pregame at homecoming. Buy so much fun to go back to iowa city and see everyone and do pregame. It's hard at 63 but I won't stop.

I graduated from OSU’s music school. We heard them practice alllll the time! Lol

Those kids go to camp all summer to try to get a spot in that band. These kids are dedicated and aren't your typical college partiers. They practice a lot and do a different show every home game. They are amazing to watch. I love when their drum major bends backwards and touches his head to the ground. That seems almost impossible

Ohioan here!! My siblings all went to Ohio State… 9 of them:) Thank you:)

Being from Ohio and being a huge fan of The Ohio State University I’m happy you guys checked this out.

"Brassed Off". One of my favorites!

When they do the "Script Ohio" on game day, there is a special person for the week, that's chosen to be the dot on the "I". The Script Ohio is normally just done as one big word, instead of one for each side of the stadium. And, I'm sure the were picked because they're the best. They're the largest too, as Ohio State is the largest student body in our country.

Ight whose gonna be the one to show them DCI? Well I might as well put yall on. So Drum Corps International (DCI) is basically the marching band that you are watching, but with no woodwinds and only brass, percussion, and colorguard and they put on way better shows in my opinion. They usually consist of performers from the ages 18-21, but with some exceptions of younger performers. Some of the groups are the Blue Devils, Santa Clara Vanguard, Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, Boston Crusaders, The Cavaliers, and so many more corps with so many memorable shows throughout the years. They travel around the United States to perform and compete. Then, they all head to Indianapolis, Indiana for the DCI World Championships. I will go ahead and leave a link to threeof my all time favorite shows. The first one is the winner of the 2017 World Championships. This show is called "Metamorph" and is performed by the Blue Devils. The second one is performed by Carolina Crown in 2016. This one is called "Relentless." They didn't win, but the brass was still the absolute best that year. And the final one is a 2019 show performed by the Bluecoats entitled, "The Bluecoats." The reason they used their own name in their show title was because its paying omage to one of the most influential bands in the history of music, "The Beatles" (Yes, they play Beatles music throughout). They didn't win either, but they placed 2nd and it was the most popular show in 2019. I hope you are able to watch at least one of these shows. Take your pick!

You are right those groups are fantastic and they practice one show for the entire season. The Ohio State marching band does 6 or 7 different shows in 12 weeks. My favorite is the entrance of the band onto the field. When the band major runs down the field and throws his baton into the sky and catches it then does that backbend touching the plume on his hat to the ground. Such a great moment. The crowd goes wild. Then they do script Ohio. All before the teams enter the field.

Marching bands start in high schools and carry into universities. Know when you watch professional musicians in bands they probably were in marching bands in school growing up. A great discipline. Imagine learning music and marching at the same time. It’s not easy. Tremendous talent on that field.

Yes to answer your question yes the Ohio State Marching Band is the best marching band you’ve ever laid your eyes on

Ohio State University is a big rival of college sports teams here in Michigan but I have to admit their marching band is top-notch. You guys should check out clips from HBCU bands (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). Totally different marching band styles than the other schools but very exciting. Some would say more exciting 😉 Jefferson Davis High School from Montgomery, Alabama is in that style as well and their performances are incredible for high school band.

They play before over 100,000 fans at every single home game in Columbus, Ohio

6 hours of practice per day , to get the program perfect and memorizing the formations , the music , have to get it perfect. No sheet music upon game day at all. Plus having competitions on the weekends , concerts , parades, plus a full class load . Keeping the grades up , the grades had be high . Even during the summer the competitions was like two per month , concerts, then two weeks of band camp, The practices was from 4:30 a.m.To 7:30 a.m., Evening practice 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. If not longer. Plus keeping the uniform cleaned , and shoes shined , . As well additional having after school jobs too. So the last four years of school your spoken for , that means your social calendar is dead .I played the sousaphone, concert tuba , symphonic tuba , you can not miss a practice , game, concerts , competition, you name it.
