@@hansmanfred1962 I'm gonna be in marching band next year(the year I start high school) and everyone's like it's gonna be so fun but it's also very tiring
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.
There were several people out of step. The fact that it was hidden so well is a testament to how good they are. It also has to deal with numbers. The more people that there are, the less obvious it is.
I don't think that's the most impressive part, if everyone starts on the same step and stays on time with the beat everyone will stay in step. In my opinion I think playing the instruments while making coordinated movements is the most impressive thing; there's a lot of things to think about, nothing much to think about to stay in step.
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.
They do chair step, it is much different and your head actually does shake and the Ohio state marchers are told to never let their heels touch the ground
I decided to do marching band this year my first year of high school and lemme say this it's amazing I met my girlfriend through band and so many friends and it's almost like a huge family dinjot regret my decision at all
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.
Definitely not for me. Took band for 2 years. Although it was cool that I could tell people I played the trumpet. I felt that I could never play to the best of my abilities and left me feeling unsatisfied with the music I was playing. Thought I am a little bit grateful for taking band as it opened me up to appreciating music and my interest in all other types of music genres.
It comes from being in band for so long, lots of singing to get in tune, lot of singing to vocalize the music and commit it to memory. Haven't in a while personally, but I miss it.
Well, they do that plenty of other times, as well, just for the precision. Say, for example, that they’re making a perfect rectangle. They snap their instruments upwards, and back into place, so as to not have parts of the instrument outside of the area. Just look at 11:34 for example. In front of the drums, they’re snapping their instruments into place. Edit: Or literally even 9:55.
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.
Now imagine how football players must feel liking needing to perform at 100% in that stadium. No one really cares about band or if someone messes up. 80,000 people being angry at you for a stupid play, however, is pretty nerve wracking.
@@hatedd7773 That would be me! Band competitions are awesome to attend! It was always a crapton of work, and VERY nerve wracking. Band was always like a family though, or a cult.
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.
Having been a "Band Dad" for the past 17 years with the American Fork Marching Band, in American Fork UT, I can say that this is the culmination of of years of hard work. Great job! (BTW, we put 5 children through the AFHS Marching Band and 3 children through BYU Marching Band) Countless hours of practice, countless oboe reeds, etc. God Bless!
I played trombone in the Ohio State University Marching Band in the late 70s. This is the first time I have been able to see the view from the perspective of the musicians on the field since I did it. Such wonderful memories! Thanks for doing this! And I'm glad to see that the band is as great as ever!
That entrance must give you guys such an adrenaline rush DRUMS ON THE SIDE Dum dum dum READY TO GO !! I get chills just watching ! Impressive performance you guys rock !
Watching this makes me want to go to Ohio State just to attempt to try out for the band after my military contract is up. I have watched this like 100 times and still get blown away by just how precise everyone is, and how such a large band manages to stay perfectly in step and keep the same tempo
I know this is a year later, but it's actually fairly simple. You focus on what you have to do; Each member does what they do perfectly, and it looks like the whole band doing incredible things. Rotating squares? Just each person in the band moving perfectly in straight lines. :P
I can’t believe how steady this is, like I understand the GoPro probably digitally stabilizing this but it crazy that at the pace you match and it looks like a dolly shot
first things said in high school marching band is “hi welcome to band!” promptly followed by “forget everything you know about walking, you’ve always done it wrong.” College just builds off of that.
When you join a marching band you spend weeks, or even months, learning how to walk in such a way that it looks like your gliding on the grass. This is so your foot hitting the ground doesn't jar your body which would then reflect in the music you're playing. It's not easy, but even now I find myself doing it sometimes , especially when I'm carrying drinks without lids.
It's called glide stepping, The name may vary but still the same concept, its to make it so your upper body does NOT bounce up and down. If you've tried walking, without proper training, with your instrument, you will understand why it is so so very essential.
trumpet players: *Viciously yanks trumpet in the air almost breaking their own neck in and effort to turn* me: :0000 me: they look like their playing mine craft and are swerving their mouse all over the table
High school football teams when they score: *YEAH! TOUCHDOWN! HELL YEAH!* High school marching bands when football team scores: *God damnit, we have to play this fight song again for the 27th time??*
death. As a sousaphone/tuba player I think it's forgivable to call a sousaphone a tuba since they play the same role as a tuba and their size are similar.
This brings a bit of nostalgia. I performed on this field with my hs band for the 2016 buckeye invitational during my sophomore year. I remember looking out of the smaller tunnel and being absolutely awestruck by the size of the stadium. I’ll never forget it
As a Buckeye fan since birth ,50 years ago. I have never seen the band from that perspective. I'm just seeing this in 2022 mid season and I absolutely loved it. Honestly I'm sitting here crying tears of pride. Buckeye pride that runs deep in my bones, in my heart and mind. So thank you so very much for doing this video. GO BUCKEYES.
@@Aygeu That’s simply what it’s like to march like one of the top university Marching Bands in the entire country. Ohio State is ridiculously good in that department and are well respected for most/all things music.
Not unbelievable at all. You’ve successfully inspired a new generation of musicians in the making, and made a good many more of us old hands mighty jealous!
It’s funny how at 6:42 they start walking in different directions and it looks like no one knows what their doing but you know it probably looks cool from the stands
Edgy Artist that’s exactly what I used to think, but when I joined (not Ohio) you really get a look into the bands personality. For example, I watched one of our quints play the entire 3 minute fight song upside down while somebody held him up XD
as some one who goes to high school in Australia and does band in Australia, this is so cool to me, like how guys can keep a steady sound while walking and make formations and all that, it kinda makes me with we had big footy games and marching bands here in Aus
@@elijahelkwood5459 It's called chair stepping. It's kind of a Big 10 band thing, but Ohio State does it the cleanest for sure. The Ohio State University Marching Band youtube channel has a pretty cool collection of marching instruction videos you could check out if you're curious.
I hope you know how amazing it’s going to be years from now to look back and remember this. This put tears in my eyes. My dad was in this marching band and dotted the “i” twice. In 1962 because they didn’t have a senior to do it. And then again in 1963, as a senior.
as someone who just started playing HS concert band this is absolutely amazing. the skill and practice it takes to be able to play correctly, with good tone, while also marching like this, is absolutely amazing.
August Sasaki They’re soo smooth when they’re in place forgot what it’s called but they’re marching in place 🤣 they’re soo smooth that they’re heads barely even move and their all synced 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you all for 500,000 views! I never imagined that this video would be so popular, and I am very grateful that I am able to continue to live out this dream. I will be posting more content throughout the summer as our annual summer sessions get more and more challenging. Go Bucks!
The video is well worth 500,000 views and even more. It's simply awesome to see things up this close and in this perspective. I was born in Ohio and lived there up until 2009 and moved to Indiana but I will always be a Buckeye. I've been an Ohio State fan for ever and always will be. If you see this comment I do have a question with something I noticed in the video. The conductor seemed to be pointing in your direction and once he did, you'd start drumming, starting things off. How does he know where you're at in the formation? Do you have something different about your appearance that he can pick up on? Or is it just practice and you end up in the same spot in the formation and the conductor knows where you'll be? Thanks in advance.
@@Lugare2011 He knows who me and the other squad leader are, and he knows where we are on the field most of the time. We are usually in the same spot for that entire week, so he knows exactly where to point. We are usually watching him at all times as well.
Ominae Toafe actually I am a drummer, and we work on how we walk steadily with the drums all the time. I can tell you he/she has certainly never been a waiter or waitress.
We may not always have the best team in the land, but we ALWAYS have the best damned band in the land! Thanks for posting this. Never knew the band sang during songs, gave voice commands in the midst of a performance, etc. We appreciate TBDBITL so very much... make Skull Session whenever possible, buy the bands albums etc. Our band is really the best.
As a non-American (a fellow Canadian as a matter of fact)... That... was truly an experence! Edit: The whole idea of college sports in America (specifically Football and the marching bands) is without a doubt one of my favorite things about American culture! Going to a college football game is something I have to experience before I die!
This brought back many memories of marching in my college band in the late 70's. I played bass trombone and it was great to march along on the field with this great band. Thanks for taking us on a trip down memory lane! Glad you guys only had to do a glide step and not a high step. Every eight steps I saw everyone's instep hitting the yardline and in step - that is impressive!
I played clarinet for 3 years of Junior High School, but wasn't enough of a snob to play in high school. My high school, that is. Plus I wasn't rich enough.
Now I’m a huge drum corps fan, absolutely love that style of the marching arts. But TBDBITL was my first love on the football field, and always will be. As a drummer this is such an amazing perspective. Love those new Mapex’s btw, the chromed out is totally classic OSU, I love it!
The instruments sound is amazing throughout the whole band.. plus how when he walks by the diffrent instruments they all could be heard doing an individual part of the song which amplified the song even more. So amazing 😇
I'm a senior in high school (trumpet) and this is sooooo cool! I want to say thanks for all the help during summer clinics and sessions etc. Even though I didn't ever meet you, I still recognized you and your name. I know you have definitely made an impact on a percussionist the way Katie Brink impacted me. Can't wait to be accepted so I can do this. It is a perspective very few have seen. Amazing video!

Ryan, I just found your videos, and god DAMN, man, this sent chills up my spine. I never made it into Ohio State's band, but my high school band experience was as great as it was because of the OSUMB. My high school band director went to OSU and made it into the band. He played tuba, and if I remember correctly, he dotted the 'i' as a 5th-year senior. Huge deal for a black man in the 1970s! Everything we did, from Three Camps and Cadence One for pregame to "Whistle!" to "Halt, Kick, Down, Rest! Don't you move!" was straight up OSUMB. We just did our arm swings on 1 and 5, not 2 and...uh...6? Thanks for letting me relive one of the best times of my life...and live out a dream I'd always had. You rock, man.

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.

@@juliankayla2411 4? What-
Damn. That’s all I gotta say. The coordination, the marching, the music, all phenomenal.
LOOK AT THOSE DIAGONALS!!!! We could clean all season and not get them that good
Stellar performance
That happen to our band and last year. we got like seventh in Indiana class D and this makes me jealous
@@veronicatorres1844 Lol I saw you guys. Greetings from class C. You guys deserved to win.
@@dontcallmepeanut thanks
I was with Mcnairy central bobcat band and we got 4th in div 2 finals and were 2nd best for aaaa
This brings a bit of nostalgia. I performed on this field with my hs band for the 2016 buckeye invitational during my sophomore year. I remember looking out of the smaller tunnel and being absolutely awestruck by the size of the stadium. I’ll never forget it
possessed_apple no way i was there (2016) my freshman year, and just went back for my junior year. Who’d you march for?
I remember doing the same thing just a different stadium
Im pretty sure this was reynoldsburg but im not sure tho
Ah buckeye invitational, it's such an amazing experience, I'm so sad our band isnt going this year :')
I miss marching band
me: has no musical talent/ has no idea know how to play an instrument
also me: "i wanna join a marching band"
Just do it lol I started last year in my freshman year and it was fun af, still is now that I'm a sophomore
Join my dude :D it's fun
Just know it ain’t as easy as it looks it is fun tho

@@Mossythesilly Oh god don't remind me. Sometimes playing the drums was one of the hardest things I've done.
Probably one of the most disciplined bands I've ever seen. They are amazing!
Why am I even here. I'm in orchestra
Audrey Flynn Well, we're both musician.. I'm in both marching band and orchestra and I love watching all the clips about them..
Hello cousin.
Lol
Switch to band
Same 😂
Everyone: how high do you want this camera
Me: yes
He probably had to hide the camera in his plume

They’re not tho
Benji R ok
Anthony: "sYnchRoNizEd ReFs"
Band: Am I a joke to you?
As a Buckeye fan since birth ,50 years ago. I have never seen the band from that perspective. I'm just seeing this in 2022 mid season and I absolutely loved it. Honestly I'm sitting here crying tears of pride. Buckeye pride that runs deep in my bones, in my heart and mind. So thank you so very much for doing this video. GO BUCKEYES.
You know his steps be smooth when the camera hardly shakes.
#rollstepislife
Actually, they’re chair stepping, however it’s absurd how clean and smooth it is.
@@Aygeu That’s simply what it’s like to march like one of the top university Marching Bands in the entire country. Ohio State is ridiculously good in that department and are well respected for most/all things music.
Marching bands in Washington aren’t this good because whenever a band has to play it’s always cloudy and/or rainy
There’s also a setting on go pros that keeps the camera steady
Plot twist he doesnt step lol (ik he is btw)
I wish my high school could be this clean when we’re marching
Asia Marie High School will never be on par with University Bands
Cure lmao didn’t really asked I just said I wish we could be clean like this I understand that we would never be at a college level fr
Asia Marie stud
My old high school never had marching band, the only time the schools band would play was at the homecoming pep rally and football game.
Asia Marie oof my band just has no motivation-
Am I the only one who finds him singing adorable?😂
@C.k Credo Cooking no, no she's not
C.k Credo Cooking no u are not guess who is me and the other person lol
Tbh i say a lot of stupid things when im marching (sense i play bass drum i can talk)
@C.k Credo Cooking If you didn't care you wouldn't have commented in the first place dipshit

2 MILLION VIEWS!!!!! Unbelievable!
Awesome! I’ve watched this video at least 10 times!

Elizabeth McKechnie that’s the drum major! They stand as the figurehead for the whole OSU Band, and they’re amazing at what they do!
Quite honestly I’ve never seen drum majors like I’ve seen for OSU, they’re crazy up in that bioch. Talk about an honor of a lifetime
XD
Thats drum major for OSU, Konner Barr, don’t know how he gets that backbend when he’s 6 ft 4 its crazy
*N Y O M*
It’s funny how at 6:42 they start walking in different directions and it looks like no one knows what their doing but you know it probably looks cool from the stands
Hays Collins I think they were spelling Ohio with there body’s I think that’s Ohio’s signature move correct me if I’m wrong
You just summed up marching band
The wacky music doesn’t help
There playing I wanna go back to Ohio state
@@harrisonkarn2078 what wacky music?
I’m obsessed with how precise the technique of the drummers are, particularly at 10:15. They look like mechanical toy soldiers; absolutely fantastic!
It’s mostly the way they strike the drums
Only in Ohio

Lmao
Wait....
That was just pregame?
Lil Gibby yep.. lol the life of marching band kids
Usually learned in about half a month if the band is fast at learning
That was pregame and they sat on field about half an hour I’d say, halftime shows can be like 45 minutes non-stop
Always has been
Absolutely love hearing the different instruments stand out as you pass them, what an experience it must be to be part of this!

Lol. Robots bumping into a wall.

Hey I thought these guys were really tense and serious but they are actually really layed back at the start! Nice to see.
Edgy Artist that’s exactly what I used to think, but when I joined (not Ohio) you really get a look into the bands personality. For example, I watched one of our quints play the entire 3 minute fight song upside down while somebody held him up XD
Most bands are told to look really serious but in reality we are all really chill lol
9:56 When you play snake but your to long
It really be like that
So true 😂😂😂
Broo💀💀

Watching the shadows in 11:53 is insane. They are all in exact time, marching and playing perfectly. Truly amazing!
When I go to games, I go to see the band! You guys rock! Maaaaaaan! You have got to be in such good shape to march for Ohio! Bravo!
Yeah, because 20 years later many musicians are playing still, but most foot players? umm not so much
@@billsargent3407 Yeah, My Band Director is a former Varsity High School Football player and He still plays an instrument
Stephanie McGuire I was 100 like!!!
You should see Henry Clay’s marching band though. They worked us hard
*person who calls them "band nerds" has left the chat*
We take pride in the name “band nerds”
Yeah it’s like if your in concert band you get called nerds but if your are in marching band you get called the cool kids...
@Nate Cottrell well what ever we get called (but don’t some people call the band kids cool *cough* band directors *cough* ?)
@Nate Cottrell over here talking 5 years and I can confirm we have never once been called “cool”
There’s no such thing as cringe band kids in college. I think that stops in HS. Lol. Everyone here auditioned and made it
That was the cleanest turn ever. Mmmm so fresh so CLEAN
Baycic Bich ... (clean)
as some one who goes to high school in Australia and does band in Australia, this is so cool to me, like how guys can keep a steady sound while walking and make formations and all that, it kinda makes me with we had big footy games and marching bands here in Aus
School footy games i should say
Same
4:50 That switch from mark time to actually marching was so smooth and satisfying. Even the marching in the block was so smooth
9:46 dude spazzing out
Its kinda scary xD it looked like he was gonna break his neck
He just had to get his trombone over the other dudes neck
Watch it in slow mo it’s creepier
@@aceix6540 do it fast
*_Are they marching toe lead???_*
My band director would be quaking
Opal Brez Ik! I’ve seen some marching bands do that, but whenever I see it I can’t help but freak out like: AHHH HEELS FIRST
gives amazing asthetic though
Chair step is the only way for the best damn band in the land!
I know! I've been roll-stepping for so damn long! Their toes hit the line and not their heels! AHH
@@elijahelkwood5459 It's called chair stepping. It's kind of a Big 10 band thing, but Ohio State does it the cleanest for sure. The Ohio State University Marching Band youtube channel has a pretty cool collection of marching instruction videos you could check out if you're curious.
I hope you know how amazing it’s going to be years from now to look back and remember this. This put tears in my eyes. My dad was in this marching band and dotted the “i” twice. In 1962 because they didn’t have a senior to do it. And then again in 1963, as a senior.
as someone who just started playing HS concert band this is absolutely amazing. the skill and practice it takes to be able to play correctly, with good tone, while also marching like this, is absolutely amazing.
August Sasaki
They’re soo smooth when they’re in place forgot what it’s called but they’re marching in place 🤣 they’re soo smooth that they’re heads barely even move and their all synced 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So cool!
Concert but not marching? Never heard of that, huh
Thank you all for 500,000 views! I never imagined that this video would be so popular, and I am very grateful that I am able to continue to live out this dream. I will be posting more content throughout the summer as our annual summer sessions get more and more challenging. Go Bucks!
I play trumpet also we live in ohio my family is really big buckeye fans but im not really into sports
The video is well worth 500,000 views and even more. It's simply awesome to see things up this close and in this perspective. I was born in Ohio and lived there up until 2009 and moved to Indiana but I will always be a Buckeye. I've been an Ohio State fan for ever and always will be.
If you see this comment I do have a question with something I noticed in the video. The conductor seemed to be pointing in your direction and once he did, you'd start drumming, starting things off. How does he know where you're at in the formation? Do you have something different about your appearance that he can pick up on? Or is it just practice and you end up in the same spot in the formation and the conductor knows where you'll be? Thanks in advance.
@@Lugare2011 He knows who me and the other squad leader are, and he knows where we are on the field most of the time. We are usually in the same spot for that entire week, so he knows exactly where to point. We are usually watching him at all times as well.
Had this playing once and you got my brother interested in marching band.
I live in South Korea. I'll be sure to look for the video :)
2:20 (drummer on the left) With walking that steady, I bet you never spill your drinks.
He probably worked as a waiter/ waitress 😂😂
Ominae Toafe actually I am a drummer, and we work on how we walk steadily with the drums all the time. I can tell you he/she has certainly never been a waiter or waitress.
@@mr_creepies8448 ok 😂 don't spill the tea
its because as you march, you have to roll your step so you dont bounce
that first call out gave me chills i watched that part so many times
My third grade class loved this! I am trying to get them interested in music. Thanks! :) We know how hard you work.
What school?
2 years later, I want to know if you succeeded
We may not always have the best team in the land, but we ALWAYS have the best damned band in the land! Thanks for posting this. Never knew the band sang during songs, gave voice commands in the midst of a performance, etc. We appreciate TBDBITL so very much... make Skull Session whenever possible, buy the bands albums etc. Our band is really the best.
Does drum corps count as a marching band?
Benji R ehhh. Not really. It’s depends on who you ask
Scott Laidig Yes!
Marching Illini. Fight me 😂
As a non-American (a fellow Canadian as a matter of fact)...
That... was truly an experence!
Edit: The whole idea of college sports in America (specifically Football and the marching bands) is without a doubt one of my favorite things about American culture! Going to a college football game is something I have to experience before I die!
You god damn Canadians are just to damn nice😭
Its definitely worth going to a few. Even most highschool bands and games are interesting especially if you don't know the craft of marching bands.
Idk why but this made me so happy
@@amaryllis543 Maybe cause we're the 8th happiest country in the world?
@@mikeyeyey8678 that's what I was gonna say lol
This brought back many memories of marching in my college band in the late 70's. I played bass trombone and it was great to march along on the field with this great band. Thanks for taking us on a trip down memory lane! Glad you guys only had to do a glide step and not a high step. Every eight steps I saw everyone's instep hitting the yardline and in step - that is impressive!
When the teacher says pick a partner 13:50
LMAO so true 🤣
Yes
underrated
I feel attacked
Or 9:31
Band is a cult
Damn right.
@@marissacoker7058 there aren't enough trombones
And within the band percussion is it’s own cult
@@knifenewbie456 Ah yes, and the flutes also are. We use them to summon the past section leaders.
I played clarinet for 3 years of Junior High School, but wasn't enough of a snob to play in high school. My high school, that is. Plus I wasn't rich enough.
Marching bands weird me out cause they’re so in sync
Fight me. Months of training for it too, you have no idea
not enough water breaks 😔😔
Ever seen a band do a 4 hour practice with 2 breaks? Yeah.
Just a few months of practice.
Evelyn Anzora felt that
Deyymm it brings back memories. That feeling of performing in the crowd is very priceless and unforgettable
Now I’m a huge drum corps fan, absolutely love that style of the marching arts. But TBDBITL was my first love on the football field, and always will be. As a drummer this is such an amazing perspective. Love those new Mapex’s btw, the chromed out is totally classic OSU, I love it!
We love them too :)
nobody:
percussion: DUT DUT DUT DUT DUT
*O H I O*
Let's be honest, if your percussion isn't doing that, they're doing something wrong.
PaineintheBurke they aren’t marching in time
Wow. This is the most unfunny, unoriginal, and flat out retarded thing I’ve ever read.
I never understood why they yell dut dut dut before the ramp entrance starts
9:46 I'm sorry but that gets me everytime
Lol
Aden Clark I imagine his slide flying off
He dropped his mouse.
lamp Ashape just gotta snap the neck
He has to do that because of the slide. I play Trombone as well and I have to do that all the time.
The instruments sound is amazing throughout the whole band.. plus how when he walks by the diffrent instruments they all could be heard doing an individual part of the song which amplified the song even more. So amazing 😇
I'm a senior in high school (trumpet) and this is sooooo cool! I want to say thanks for all the help during summer clinics and sessions etc. Even though I didn't ever meet you, I still recognized you and your name. I know you have definitely made an impact on a percussionist the way Katie Brink impacted me. Can't wait to be accepted so I can do this. It is a perspective very few have seen. Amazing video!
Anytime! Looking forward to seeing you at summer sessions ;)
I play trumpet too
Dylan Daugherty trumpets are superior
I play trumpet I’m in middle school 6th grade just started
Nah double basses are where it’s at although we can’t really march lol so I guess that’ll never happen.

Percussion is the most under rated part of band and it shows
this is most definitely not the truth
Underrated? They must not appreciate percussion where you're from..
What about tuba?
I wouldn't know I'm trumpet
Actually tuba is we get worst music
I’m always amazed at the precision of TBDBITL, but the tiny movements are unbelievable….
The turn of the head, the position of the hand, the step-snap. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

@@noahmay7708 Ohio but with an?
Ryan, I just found your videos, and god DAMN, man, this sent chills up my spine. I never made it into Ohio State's band, but my high school band experience was as great as it was because of the OSUMB. My high school band director went to OSU and made it into the band. He played tuba, and if I remember correctly, he dotted the 'i' as a 5th-year senior. Huge deal for a black man in the 1970s! Everything we did, from Three Camps and Cadence One for pregame to "Whistle!" to "Halt, Kick, Down, Rest! Don't you move!" was straight up OSUMB. We just did our arm swings on 1 and 5, not 2 and...uh...6?
Thanks for letting me relive one of the best times of my life...and live out a dream I'd always had. You rock, man.
