[goaheadbegonewithit]

K1 is long as hell on his 8-5. Good job squad leader.

[02GrandAmGT1989]

great video!!!! Im an Ohioan from Sandusky and watching this video brought back all of my memories of what it is to be a buckeye! Love the Bucks and Love the Browns!!!! O-H-I-O

[JIROWFAN]

Enjoy our year off. It will merely be the lull before the storm.

[silvercrew1]

Have fun playing in a bowl game next year...oh wait

[Rockmangoes]

Welcome back Urban, all Buckeye shall relish the Buckeyes Battle cry,,,, WELCOME HOME!

[silvercrew1]

BORING

The Bearcat Marching Band knows how to enter a stadium the right way

[JIROWFAN]

@silvercrew1 Right!

[MagnusLegatus]

@silvercrew1 LOL. Sorry little brother.

[silvercrew1]

@MagnusLegatus Last time I checked there was only one nationally ranked football team in Ohio these days. GO BEARCATS! bUCkeye state bitches

[BuckeyeJ07]

@silvercrew1 Apples and oranges.

[bluemax79]

@silvercrew1 If that were true, they would be the only Bearcats that know how to do anything "the right way".

BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND MUZZAFUZZAS!!

[M3ssageT4k3n]

the sad thing is their snare line isnt even clean -_-

[JIROWFAN]

@M3ssageT4k3n Don't confuse the natural reverberation created a large stadium with not playing clean. Go down on the ten yard line and you'll see what I mean.

[M3ssageT4k3n]

@JIROWFAN its not the echo dude.. Listen to the rolls. They are not unison at all but youll probably disagree with me because your probably some crazy Ohio State fan...

[JIROWFAN]

@M3ssageT4k3n What makes you an expert? Name the drumline you are or were in. You sound like a guy with a classic case of phallus envy. There are clinics that can help people like you. Better get it checked out dude.

[darthtater590]

@JIROWFAN i agree its nearley impossible to coordinate rolls

[MJ2420]

@JIROWFAN

At 180 bpm, they are playing 12 sixteenth notes per second.

This means there is a space of .0833 seconds between each note.

The distance from I-1 to 1-12 is 82.5 Feet

Sound travels at 1126 fps, so it takes .07327 seconds for it to travel from one end of the row to the other.

If a machine were playing the drums in perfect unison, they would sound nearly a sixteenth note apart when heard from either side of the field.

Conclusion… they are playing GREAT!

[JIROWFAN]

@MJ2420 Thanks for your most scientific explanation. Much appreciated.

[16sonicv]

@M3ssageT4k3n Dude chill the difference in the rols slight as they are) are what give the cadence/music its unique sound!

[KarnKrash]

@M3ssageT4k3n It's actually the head they use. The clear plastic head with the reinforcement dot in the center makes them vibrate more than usual and as a result they don't sound as clean in a wide open space. If they were to use a kevlar head it would clean up a lot, but that wouldn't be in OSU tradition. The line is actually very clean and many of the snare players march in DCI World Class corps

[M3ssageT4k3n]

@KarnKrash well i didn't know whey used Mylar :L

i understand now because Mylar heads a pain in the ass to clean rolls across especially 10 snares on.

[KarnKrash]

@M3ssageT4k3n exactly. Without knowing that it does sound like they are dirty as F@#$

[nhairnuattoa7]

@M3ssageT4k3n Its just simple. The sound from their snares are pointed away from the video recorder. You not going to hear it well from their side, but the opposite side you will a lot easier.

[jdl06osu]

@M3ssageT4k3n ignorance is bliss. It is an echo. Because of the tradition carried through the band, the snare drummers wear slings, therefore creating a tilt, pointing the bottom of the drums back and to the left. Also, unfortunately the Yamaha drums they are currently using are NOT omnidirectional.

[jdl06osu]

@M3ssageT4k3n Now, I will say there are better "playing" snare lines in the nation, even better ones in the Big Ten. Michigan State's drumline is definitely top notch, but no band in the nation has to endure the physical demands that OSU's percussion section does. The snare slings and bass slings have virtually remained unchanged for 40+ years, and the tenor harnesses (which weren't used until 1998) are ancient. All this for the excellence of tradition.

[jdl06osu]

@M3ssageT4k3n Also, not many snare sections march 12 snares in 4 step spacing.

[jibucks]

@M3ssageT4k3n Sounds clean to me.

[Mike427Miller]

You just don't know what it takes to be in TBDBITL. Every week your performance is critiqued and if it isn't up to par, you are out of the band's Saturday performance. It's a daily competition where your scores are kept and the highest scorers perform on Saturday. NO Marching BAND anywhere is better than The Ohio State University Marching Band

[MuscleDaddyCMH]

There is nothing that compares to the total wonderful insanity that greets OSU band on its entrance, or Script OH

[slimj091]

Come to Ohio and play in our band. where as a male you can look like a female in our uniforms from 50 feet away.

[JIROWFAN]

Hardly!

[hartnick68]

its the salvation army band

[sclongboarder15]

u can never really feel wat its like till you are there in person... i nearly pooped my slef when we played michigans saong cause we play it so well haha

[slimj091]

@sclongboarder15

too bad you didn't learn how to spell so well while studying how to put pegs in round holes at ohio either.

[chrisryca1967]

nice video but you miss half of whats going on because you're zoomed in

[MrAgnostic1]

That was the most BORING entrance I've ever seen!!

[mikeman42986]

@MrAgnostic1 well it seems ur NOT from ohio.or u just dont respect tradition

[slimj091]

@mikeman42986

you mean the ohio tradition of purposely not showing respect to anyone. yeah we already know about that, but that is what you get i guess when your state is populated by mostly drunken hicks, and Amish.

[Ibangedmatt]

woah i realized im in this video

[brandylynnt]

why did they play the michigan fight song?

[BuckeyefanHill33]

@brandylynnt The band plays the opposing teams fight song out of respect and welcoming them The Shoe, and basically play it better than the other teams band.

[robespierrebeauregar]

I'd say the fans are booing the less and less fittingly named "The Victors" more than they're booing the band. I'll happily take it as a sign that the rivalry is as strong as ever.

[JIROWFAN]

I'll feel bad for the Michigan Band too. They only have one school song and it sounds best when our band plays it.

[bucknut149]

THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND!!!!!!!!! GO BUCKEYES BEAT THE HELL OUT OF EVERYONE THIS YEAR

[AAndrews1968]

@JIROWFAN I don't feel badly for the Michigan band. They play the greatest fight song ever written (John Philip Sousa said so, not me), and they don't look like Nazi toy soldiers when they march onto the field.

[JIROWFAN]

@AAndrews1968 I agree with you, your band (Michigan's) doesn't look like "Nazi" toy soldiers when they march onto the field, they look like the marching band in the movie Animal House. Sousa, however, would agree with me, your only school song sounds best when our band plays it. (I noticed yesterday that your band, with its heavy reliance on woodwind and reed instruments, needs to be amplified through the stadium's public address system in order to drown out our band. Classy!)

[nivekeryas]

I love TBDBITL.

I hate OSU fans who boo OUR OWN FREAKING MARCHING BAND when they play Michigan's fight song.

[Snoo2thaSnoo]

@nivekeryas People hate Michigan.. what do you expect?

[lukekasten]

@nivekeryas dude i bet that every member of the band thinks its hilarious that the fans boo the michigan fight song. everyone's on their feet cheering every move they make until that point. lighten up
