Ohio State Marching Band GoPro Experience

This is a video of me marching in the I-6 position with The Ohio State University Marching Band on October 6th, 2018 against Indiana University. Since I am assistant squad leader, I normally lead out the band in the I-1 position. However, this time the head squad leader and I decided to switch positions. This is a true representation of what it is like to be on the field for the ramp entrance, and the incomparable Script Ohio. A special thank you to Emily Dean and the Big Ten Network for allowing me to use their GoPro!

For a person who knows nothing about marching bands this dope asf

The vocal callouts are what have my attention. I marched through high school, and would have marched in uni if I went through with it. That there is the difference between a band that’s “good for their age” and one that’s genuinely amazing. The coordination and confidence is unmatched. So many kids are afraid to vocalize on the field when they start out.

Hearing all the little time keepers like the step, kick, kneel or even a simple audible countdown is so refreshing. It keeps not only the caller in time, but the whole group on the same page. Like the call of whistle at the very start, calling the whole band to attention and starting the pace at the same time… it’s such a little detail that needs more appreciation.

Also damn those turns are sharp. Every one is so clean and snappy and just brilliantly executed.

It’s the fact that I NEVER saw any of them out of step. That is the most impressive part.

As a person who always threatened in high school to make a tshirt that said "Game? What game? I'm here for the BAND!" thank you for this view. This is freaking amazing.

For those who aren't in highschool yet but still in band. NEVER QUIT BAND don't give up. It's so worth it in highschool. Im in my sophomore year and I'm in band and I never thought I could say this but I'm in love with marching band it's one of the things that make me the happiest and I'm sad I didn't get the a real season last year.

Alternative Title: “Going undercover to reveal that the OSU band is actually Robots”

Notice how steady the cam is the whole time, a true glide step. Memories just kept flooding in. I remember being on the field doing the halftime show (not for ohio, lol), the music, the crowd. All those hours of practice to make the show perfect. The pride felt when the show is done. The roar of the crowd afterwards. The emotion, thrill, sense of accomplishment, all there. I was truly honored to be able to experience the moment. Thank-you for bring back those memories. Doubt anyone will see this, just felt it was needed to be said.

That trombone kills me he just snapped his neck for the sake of a visual

[Uncle_Thurl]

Old drummer here. It's been 15 years since I've felt goosebumps for the reasons only those who've taken to the field in a matching band like this know well. I caught myself keeping time and counting steps multiple times.

Thank you for the buzz and high.
