Seven Nation Army - Buckeye Boys State Band (2015)

Description Our Band is comprised of approximately 150 young men selected to be delegates to Buckeye Boys State (BBS), a youth civics and leadership program administered by the Ohio American Legion. The members of the Band are complete strangers from every corner of the state who perform service and program music for daily assemblies and special events at the 8-day program. Because of BBS’s full schedule, each member of the band commits to short daily practices and all the songs you see and hear are performed with less than 30 minutes of practice beforehand. The experience of playing in the BBS Band is a uniquely rigorous and transformative one that is the highlight of each band member’s BBS experience.

Jeff Jordan, Director

Their rival states miles away:

Why do I hear boss music?

[graciewilliams]

This song is cursed for my school, every time we play it our team starts losing or something bad happens

[cprkzl]

1:54 Looks like there’s a new trumpet player that used to play clarinet

[benjaminprewitt]

[jocabulous]

The band before class starts:

[Slurshee]

Damn, I wish my school was as lit as this.

[lillygh]

The band director: trumpets, BE QUIETER

The trumpets: no I think I have other plans..

[KajiggaD]

LOOK AT THAT FLIPP'N ARMY OF TROMBONES!!!!

[xdtwo_shot]

when you realize theres like 50 barritones in the back....

[benharthill]

They are lucky to have that many trombones, my band has a total of three

[demicameron]

I wish we had a trombone section that big.

(So I checked this after 3 years and didn't even know it blew up, but a little more context, my band has three trombones. One that isn't as proficient, and is in the same grade as me, another who is a young bass trombonist and is my protégé, who is a sophomore now, and me, a senior now who is majoring in Music Education this Fall. Hope everyone is staying safe in COVID-19!)

Alas, an actual accurate of the boys locker room

my clarinet ass: *starts freaking out cause i never hear the clarinets during the beginning*

[hotdog]

@1:40 I don't see how they could hear themselves play that and say to themselves, "hey, that sounds really good, im gonna keep doing this"

[BiggestKingerFan]

Our school does this, we start with the tubas, and then the entire band unleashes ourselves when our team gets a touchdown or we destroy the other team, we love it ❤️

[carlrhaisen]
