- The Ohio State University marching Band and the OSU Alumni Marching band perform a Pregame Ramp entry and show at the Ohio State vs. Kent State football game on September 13, 2014. More than 700 Band Alumni marched onto the field, joining the 2014 Marching Band.
I see a lot of comments about how OSUMB is boring and always does the same thing and honestly this is why it's so IMPORTANT to have a few traditions that don't change even a little bit. Can you imagine how much it must have meant to the alums who graduated nearly 50 years ago to be welcomed back like heroes with thunderous applause and love, and to be able to march down the field just like they did when they were young? It's emotional and lovely.
A lot of truth here. As a band nerd, at first thought, yeah it may get repetative hearing the same songs, but when you march the field after so many years wearing your old colors, it’s like, now I remember why I joined this band in the first place! The music!
The tradition is too good to get old this was one of the reasons I’m in marching band today
Ohio state marching is not boring there entertainment
I will say, when the Pandemic is over I would love to watch all of them reunited again and March down that exact field and show triumphant that they are still here and ready to show the world we aint just ordinary marching band, we are a family!

Awww The Older Drum Major at the end got me all teary eyed @ 7:25 It's like the current band was staring into their future. As of now they are all alumni. Cherish all your life moments! Even if's going back to march for "Alumni Day" Life goes by so fast! I was just watching one from 1986 and they had Alumni from the 30s!
I love when the alumni band comes out and they have all the former drum majors if that’s what their called lined up and I love the two older ones at the bottom right corner that even though they are up there in age they still have that pride and are like hell yeah I’m coming back for this
0:55 you can see the lead trumpet of the left column telling folks to move. Twice.
Yeah.
I was just going to put that! lmao MOOOVE!!
Important job. Well done, Sir.
That is how trained this members are. the line leader takes care of the people following him/her
How is it possible to feel school pride for a place I’ve never been
this honestly the best part about ohio, the rest of it sucks
@@andre7089 Agreed, I live in upper Ohio, some things here are cool but it mainly sucks. But the OSUMB is such a good band and you can see their dedication.
Can you imagine being in the. Visitors locker room?
I DONT Believe there are 800+ Alumni there! MY GOD OHIO State can make a Band Army with that much!
maryland fan here, legitimately the coolest fucking thing ive seen. the whole concept of an alumni band taking the field is genius and pays great tribute. incredible job
University of Texas also has a Band Alumni event.
I didn't attend this university but I got teary from joy seeing the former drum majors
Omg same
same here. i'm not from ohio, and i'm not even from the the united states.
watching OSU marching band ramp entry always, from the philippines.
It's not given to many of us to re-live our glory years. At 7:25 ... bless their hearts, those ex-drum majors did their best :-) Brits like me get as soppy and sentimental as everyone else, but we try to hide it. This was MAGNIFICENT!
I cry in wonder every time i watch this band.
This is awesome! I really think Ohio State has got the best college band in the country and I am amazed at the size of their alumni band. There is so much pride in belonging to Ohio State!
Spectacular! I would love to see this in person.
Wow am watching this from the UK, I'll admit to not know everything that's going on but dam this is amazing to watch, am even singing along to the band
One word: Amazing
Thank you!!! What a steady hand you have. The footage you took was a joy to watch and I can't wait to show my kids so they can see the showmanship and share our pride of this fantastic band. Thanks for recording this and sharing it!
So touching and moving to see the alumni perform. 🎷🥁🎺 Look at those drum majors...they still got that kick! I guess that precision stays with you for years. No one compares to the OSU marching band. 🙌
I’m English and it’s the first time I’ve seen this and I’m wetting myself laughing. Especially the one with the high kicks and bending over backwards until his feathers touch the floor. Move over Monty Python.
Ohio state is pure showman ship. They move like one, so smooth and like one large catapiller with thiusands of legs. No comparison. Pure professionals. Love watchibg them. Makes all the rest look silly
I LOVE MARCHING BANDS
That was very moving, especially seeing all the alumni band members playing the alma mater.
Wow! Just Wow! I didn’t go to college until I retired from the military, but, this is a breath taking show! Thanks for sharing this video. Hey Bing, the Buckeyes are great! I was in the service with “Bing”.
There is no doubt! TBDBITL!
GO BUCKS!
Nothing like football at Ohio St.
The tubas.... I'm speechless..
That was EPIC!
Awesome for this tradition to continue! Look at all that red!
So cool! Infantry is something one never forgets! Love watching them march! Go Buckeyes! 🎺🥁
If you are not vareful they will cut you,,,
Wow! Did you see that person in the red shirt?!
This is SO COOL
It makes me cry when ever I hear TBDBITL, I took my band-geek mom to that game! A friend was selling tickets for her grandparents and I had mentioned my mom was a band-nerd, so she sold me the alumni game tickets. What a magical event!
Showing a total sea of red/orange. Awesome!
The former drum majors that was so cool
That was dope!
imagine having more alumni come for your alumni game than pretty much all schools have in their entire bands. It's also so sad to know that John Waters was standing right there on the 45 crying his eyes out during Carmen Ohio because this was the game after he got fired
It was actually the third game after his wrongful termination. The first game was an away game and the second was a night game vs Virginia Tech. While I can't speak for the university, the band, or their alumni, since this was the first day game vs a non-marquee opponent, I'm sure it was a logical fit.
Very moving.
EPIC!
imagine what that must have looked like from a High above shot.....
Amazing! Wonderfully emotional. They still "got it"! Where did they get all the instruments for the Alumni Band?
Alumni Day is a yearly tradition, usually the first home game of the season/ It's great seeing past members of the band, drum majors, and cheerleaders come back to "do it just one more time". Some are recent members while others are getting up there in age. The two drum majors in line closest to the camera were the oldest to come back for this particular Alumni Day. The second from the near end was around 90 years old IIRC, and he came back every year. The above video was 2014 so I don't know if he is still with us.
Hayden's first game "ramp"
Wow! Everything is bigger and better in the USA.
am i the only person watching this hoping to see their band director who went to OSU, no, just me?
The drum major at Ohio State is the best in the nation.
there is a video of drum major auditions. It is a hoot
Cool...... we normally have about 40 at our alumni band
jesus... the sound
I LOVE this band! The Drum Major I could watch all day! The BAND is AMAZING! I’ve lived in Traverse City Mi for 48 years but I will ALWAYS be a BUCKEYE FAN! Love my BUCKEYE’S ❤❤❤
Goll dang! Sweetest EVER
OHIO YOU ARE THE BEST......FROM CHILE
What song is the band playing starting at 8:13? I know it's old-school, but I can't think of the name.
That's "Beautiful Ohio"; it's the state song for Ohio.
Why does this channel always have my content in the feed its weird 9.8% of recommended videos of mine are from this video
Wish they would have played more together. Wonderful.
EPIC
oh my god
"Such an AWESOME BAND!!!, the Buckeyes are a great team, I seen The Ohio State Spring Band at Cedar Point in 2014, same year they won the championship, pretty cool"!!!! GO BUCKS"!!!!!! 😎😎😎🏈🏈🏈🌰🌰🌰
I don't see how they can walk on their toes like that.
Love this drum major...not really into core style bands...but he is fire!!!
Lol even the visiting band recording 😂
This is amazing! 🇧🇷
how many tubas? looked like 100
24 Sousaphones.
@@CornoAttavo there is actually 85-95 sousaphones on the field.
Wow
That's a lot of band geeks in one place

I wonder how old is the oldest alumnus? Probably relying on a lot of muscle memory!
The drum major second from the near end of the line (the Alumni drum majors are wearing white pants and are out in front of the band) was around 90 at this Alumni Day game in Sept of 2014, IIRC.
Look at the prancing ponies!
It's neat i guess ... In watching it .... But what is the point of this I don't understand why it what is happening ... Do these people even know why they are clapping
oh yes they do! This band has decades of tradition, and anyone who went there experienced it. They are clapping for the entertainment and the great tradition - hey they know what to expect! Also, the big state universities have huge statewide loyalty even for folks who never attended college. It is a great source of pride (don't ever disturb a Univ of Kentucky fan during a basketball game, just saying) for the whole state.
Why do they walk in such a ridiculous manner ? The drum major............ what's that all about ? I don't get it.
Not sure what you mean by the ridiculous walking. Marching bands in the Big10 typically walk in this fashion. It's called a "chair step" and generically it is defined by the thigh coming parallel to the ground at the top of each step. All bands in the Big 10 have their own take on it, however.
The Drum Major strut is a traditional thing simply to show athleticism and provide visual entertainment in addition to the band's formations. I, myself, am the Drum Major one of the local high schools in the Columbus area.
I can understand why this stuff seems weird. I watch a lot of HBCU bands and get confused, as well as some of the more competition style marching bands in the local area high schools. Hope I could settle some of your curiosity!
@@haydenalley2240 Thanks for your reply and the explanation as i can now understand why. I think i may have come over a bit too strong before calling it ridiculous, sorry about that, and must admit that the discipline amongst everyone is just about perfect. It must take a lot of training. Sometimes i can be a little too quick to criticise before understanding why.
@@underwaterbubbles It's all good! I didn't mean to come off defensive either. I completely understand why you'd think that, I thought the same when we first started marching in high school. Glad I could help though, and yes, it is a lot of work. They practice all summer and there's an insane amount of practice that goes into TBDBITL's marching.
@@haydenalley2240 Is it voluntary or do you get paid for it ?
@@underwaterbubbles Voluntary, I do believe.
what a beautiful sight!! brought tears to my eyes
