"The Music of Rush" GoPro - 2021 Buckeye Invitational with The Ohio State University Marching Band

"The Music of Rush" as performed at the 2021 Buckeye Invitational.
The Buckeye Invitational is the largest band competition in the state of Ohio and is a fantastic recruiting event and fundraiser for TBDBITL and its associated student organizations. A huge thanks to the members who volunteered, and especially to Associate Director Phil Day for organizing this annual event.
This was a fantastic run of the show and was a great way to close out the night of incredible performances. I am still working with the GoPro mounts to try to get different angles and was hoping to capture more of my playing this time around. Unfortunately, I didn't quite get it adjusted the way I wanted, but am still really happy with how everything sounded and looked on the field that night.

I was so disappointed when I found out my former high school closed the marching band program. I had some of the best times in marching band.

Nice clean playing man. It seems like you guys do the more traditional military style for pregame but then go to a more drum corps style for the halftime show, am I right?

[@mattchalk1972]

Yes, we still keep the pregame show as authentic as possible to the nearly century and a half of tradition, but the halftime show is typically more modernized to accommodate updated music and be a little more accessible to students who are used to marching on harnesses during high school or for drum corps. Thanks!

@@mattchalk1972 alright nice! Very impressive that you guys switch between styles. Do any of you guys do DCI/WGI?

[@mattchalk1972]

@@andrewdressler7076 Quite a few of us do both DCI and WGI, although I myself am more partial to the experience here at Ohio State. We have previously had members in the Blue Devils, Spirit of Atlanta, Jersey Surf, Crossmen, Matrix, and Cap City just to name a few.
