[williamorr]

I'm Canadian, and I absolutely love that Ohio state song.I love my American neighbors. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

70 years old now. I watch this band AS OFTEN AS I GET THE CHANCE! Believe this: I have “NEVER” failed to shed some tears watching the ramp entrance, the drum major’s entrance and ‘top of the hat’ touch, SCRIPT OHIO and hearing Carmen Ohio 😊

marching bands are one of the great american traditions, and ohio state is one of the best at it..very cool!

Script Ohio is actually based on a French revolutionary song called régiment de sambre-et-meuse which talks about a French regiment that knew their fate was death but still continued to March to preserve the name of Freedom

My dad played trumpet for the OSU marching band all four years he attended the school. Glad to see in the comments I’m not the only one that gets a bit teary watching this, has to be one of the greatest pregame traditions in all of sports.

Let this band do the halftime show at the Super Bowl. I'd bet it would be received just as well as the rock extravaganzas that are usually performed.

I’m watching in the UK - we have nothing like this (that I know of) & having watched quite a few different bands on YouTube in my opinion Ohio is by far the best. If I ever get to visit America I would love to attend a Ohio game.

Truly TBDBITL I get chocked up every time I see them! I grew up a couple miles from the Stadium near W.N. Broadway and Kenny Road, on Saturdays we could hear the band and the cheers from the stadium...those are memories

[vortexbf]

I've said before, I don't know a soul that attended OSU, however I'm utterly obsessed with this band...

[sethmorgan]

I'm Buckeye Born and Bred and watching them do Script OHIO and Carmen Ohio afterwards will always give me chills and a tear down my eyes. #GoBuckeyesForever

[EdGrasmann]

I am in Upstate NY and would like to go to a home game just to see the band are clearly the best college band I have seen

[Sweet-fnpo]

Has to be the best college band ever! The lines are so straight and precise. EPIC! ♥️

[GoodLifeInSpain]

They give me goosebumps every time...from the ramp to the doting of the i. What a class act!

[SheridanJazz]

TBDBITL is one of the things truly right with the world. GO BUCKS!!!

[eugenemcelroy]

far from an Ohio State fan, but "Script Ohio" just cannot be beat. How hard they must practice. It must be harder to get into and stay in the OSU band than into the football team! Would love to see SO in person on day.

I’ve been blessed to see them do this twice at the Shoe. Brings tears to my eyes every single time I even hear them start the music and by the time it’s over, I am complete chills all over. If you don’t get a rush watching this then you better check your pulse. This IS is the BEST damn BAND in the LAND, beyond a doubt! And hearing Coach Urban Meyer introduce them as such at the Skull Session before the game was one of the great thrills of my life. Born and Bred Buckeye For Life!!!

[pandaberries]

Love watching them! They're always so tight and clean!

[smiller]

This band is #1! Those lines are perfect and that's not easy! Excellent!

[maxkellerman]

Never gets old! One the greatest band formations of all time!!

[bengemeister]

Insane, as always. I was in band all through college. Making this work every home game takes incredible discipline because of the limited time to work it while you work the main halftime show. As a senior I got the green light to change our drum section entry to make it easier to march and more fan friendly to view.
