we've been doing this style since the 1960's, our style is different from HBCU's also we point our toes out not down like HBCU, so we are different. I happen to be a black member of the marching 110, I am very proud of HBCU bands, but I love my band even more. We work really hard, and to be regarded as mere copycats really makes me upset.
Hey guys, try to remember that marching bands and football teams are different. OU : An original, classical Corps entertainment marching band. Big east, big 10, ACC, SEC bands : park and bark big bands.
I know for a fact high stepping isn't cake at all. In my high school's marching band show last year, we marched high step. This year, the Middle Voices, (Consisting of four saxaphones and two mellophones, myself included) march high step. OSU MB is beast and amazing.
@MrOu83 So you're the deciding authority on talent? This group is better than most Big Ten bands, and the sound is comparable to my 300-piece Spartan Marching Band. Also, THEY'RE HIGH-STEPPING. Neither MSU nor OSU does that for halftime shows. And to be perfectly honest, these forms are a lot more lively than any I've ever seen (or done) in a halftime show. Finally, the worth of a marching band is decided by how well they entertain the crowd. Do the fans seem entertained? I'd say so.
they're the best because the crowd actually gets EXCITED to see them! the AUDIENCE loves the 110. As for me, I enjoy OU way more than OSU, why? Because they play popular songs, and their new aged, OSU is good in all, but their a little old-fashioned for me.
uhhh you guys need to Check out the James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes. We know whats up!!!!!! We have 470 members (including gaurd) and 2/3's of our band are pretty damn good music majors. Our songs sound VERY good and our drill ranges from some lines to many curves. and on thing we are great at is EXCITEMENT and ENERGY!!!
People always use the excuse that one band's style is so diffeent from another's, therefore it is not possible tosay who is better. BS. That's a copout. Technique is technique, and musicainship is musicianship is musicianship, no matter the style. Y either have it or you don't. Not all collegiate cheerleading and pom-pom squads/dancet eams hae the same styles. Yet, they manage to have competitions every year and judges routinely manage to determine which squad is better than the other.
Being enthusiastic and having high enery alone does not make for a grat marching band. OU may be all of the above, but they are not among the elite in college marching bands. They try to emulate a style associated with historically black college and university marching bands. They are similar to USA, ut notas good. I sam them in the 1993 Inauguration parad and I was not impressed. Ohio State was in the same parade. I followed OSU. U have to be good for me to follow you.
HEY wassup (BWB2006) NAW i never heard of him .but thank you for the facts.Ohio university's band is good .their marching style is very clear and persistent.
i first saw the OU marching 110, three years ago, at Ohio Theatre. ever since, i've been itching to join them. in my opinion, they are the BEST. i enjoy them over OSU band. their sound is smooth and their moves are coined. my High School band STRIVES to duplicate their amazing-ness. their dirlls are simply amusing to watch, and their simple because they DON'T try to take away from the MUSIC during drills. that's what marching band is about.
I love it when people argue about marching band. C'mon guys, it's just different styles. Each band has it's "thing" that it is good at and its crowd expects. It doesn't make either one better than the other. Some bands go for full sound and good tone quality, some bands focus on dancing, other bands focus on volume, others focus on complex/intricate drill. All that matters is this: at the end of the show, is the crowd at its feet? If you can do that, fine. Everyone likes different stuff.
Drum corps are pretty boring because they all play the same music and do the same routines, playing their horns sideways and other crazy things. A college band take far more work-- learning all new charts every week and new routines weekly plus going to college classes. And, entertaining college students-- far unlike the spectators at drum corp "competitions." Who do you think make-yp college bands? Many are from drum corps and they are sometime decent members, too.
I was at the Ohio-UT game tonight. This band is great! I enjoyed their show a lot! I wish I was able to do shows like this at NC State the last few years. I made sure to tell you all you were great as you all were leaving Neyland. Glad you all could make this your one big road game.
I'm a Senior in the Brookside High School Cardinal Marching Band (Sheffield, OH) right now and I'm SOOOO relieved I found a college band that has fun cadences and ground drills becuase I would've really missed those things after I graduate this year. Marching band is my favorite thing to do more that anything =]
The Marching 110 is a show band, they do the things they do for show and it makes it exciting. OSU does the things they do because they're more about prestige. Trust me, the 110 is a great band, I've seen several of their performances. I've also seen several of OSU's performances, which were great. I'd rate them both at a 10/10, but they each have their own unique things they do.
It should also be noted, as far as I'm aware, OSU has summer rehearsals, weeding out competition for the few coveted spots. Whereas with the 110, the majority of the cuts come from the percussion section. Trust me, the incoming freshmen are EXTREMELY talented (especially in recent years), but we don't have the numbers to choose from as other colleges may. My point - the 110 does what it does best. Taking ALL the kids and transforming them into better musicians and ambassadors of the University
The 110 is smaller than OSUMB by close to 100. OSU is also an all-brass band. As far as tone quality, it's like comparing a fine opera singer to Freddie Mercury. Is either better than the other? If it's William Tell Overture, fine...give me OSU. If it's Bon Jovi, give me OU. They're different, so stop comparing. "Physically demanding" is truly an understatement when describing the marching style. Both bands and their fans should be extremely proud of what they do. End of story.
18 years later, we've played Livin' on a Prayer again (except in a different key)
looks like SU drilling like that. In fact SU should look these boys up. nice drills.
we've been doing this style since the 1960's, our style is different from HBCU's also we point our toes out not down like HBCU, so we are different.

Difficulty? Roll Step has nothing on Stop Action. Get off your high horse.

@MontetheCarlo "big dogs"? Didn't know high schools were considered as such ;)
@bobmama1234 The drill was actually done by one of the (at the time) current members, Josh Boyer

Gotta love that old school style.
@msou110 'Hio to that. I was a freshman in '05, I remember being amazed by how loud the crowd was. OU fans are the best in the country.
gives me chills everytime i hear the crowd singing with the 110. I miss it so much! GO BOBCATS
@alanbailey101 hahah thats whats up
@wildandcrazymanberta well they are the shit because they were voted best college football band in america.
@flubanuma yea but they dont
@Nae2112 well considering the 110 was voted best college football marching band i will have to respectfully disagree.

"Drill is not hard at all" Well no shit, sherlock. Try marching the style, then open your smart-ass mouth.

they sound good butt ! they cant touch famu ! they cant even get on the feild with famu
Not Bad...Not Bad at all
I was at the Ohio-UT game tonight. This band is great! I enjoyed their show a lot! I wish I was able to do shows like this at NC State the last few years. I made sure to tell you all you were great as you all were leaving Neyland. Glad you all could make this your one big road game.

I'm a Senior in the Brookside High School Cardinal Marching Band (Sheffield, OH) right now and I'm SOOOO relieved I found a college band that has fun cadences and ground drills becuase I would've really missed those things after I graduate this year.

i wish high school bands would do stuff like that our shows would be way more fun

super
did they made a tekst of people in the stadion

I hope you are as proud of the 110 as us alumni are. I graduated in 73 and the best memory of the time there was the 110. Awesome band.
