Their commitment to excellence is AMAZING. I'm not a big OSU fan and I'm watching these videos of the band and thinking to myself how proud I would be to be a part of this organization and the school spirit that they inspire. Incredible and heart warming to watch. They are ALL that is good, decent, and wholesome in college athletics!!!
It's such a disgrace that the networks choose to omit the halftime shows and talk about the plays, scores etc instead. Give these guys their moment in the limelight! They work hard to put on such phenomenal performances and they should be seen and not ignored. Thanks to guys like this, we can enjoy their performances.
@ Michael - I totally agree with you. I stopped watching football YEARS ago when the networks stopped showing the halftime shows - that was the highlight of the game for me. However, now that my granddaughter attends OSU, I have been watching OSU AND going to their website to actually SEE and HEAR the band. Shame on the networks for failing to allow the bands to be seen and appreciated by the millions of viewers. I'd much rather see the bands than hear the commentators rehash what we have just seen!
Michael Hubbard My high school band, back in the 1960s played the Philadelphia Eagles game by invitation. The networks cut away as soon as we hit the field for commercial breaks and game commentary. This is nothing new, and I daresay our high school band put every bit as much effort and talent into the show we put on as any college band did or does.
My sentiments exactly. I don't watch or allow football in my home. I was in drill team all through high school and can appreciate the time and effort it takes to perfect the formations and music for these halftimes shows.
Other than them missing the drum majors and "i" dotters first prancing out, I loved a lot of the camera angles that show just how perfect the band is. The horns snapping, how perfectly in line and in step everyone is...awesome!
I thought that ESPN had something like 100 microphones all over the stadium for this? Too bad they couldn't get even one to provide decent audio of TBDBITL. Also, the clown who was directing the TV coverage clearly had no idea what he was doing. He cut away from the i-dotter at the critical moment to show some arbitrary band member.
OHCelt Thank God FOX got the contract for Tier 1 big10 games espn SUCKS FOX’s camera angles, announcers, production...everything is much better. And the one hour pregame show makes Gameday look like a joke

Did they show all of this on ESPN Classic?

Thumbs up and I could not agree more.The halftime network talk hosts are rarely right about their predictions anyway.

erinluv182 Some of it's showmanship. Some of it is to keep the players from bumping into each other or locking/crashing their instruments together.

It doesn't go over well indoors as the sound bounces everywhere. I was dissapointed the network didn't show the halftime entertainment.
