  • Badass

  • The Rotunda! lots of memories there!~

  • i know this running step, in show style band we call it the life march, becasue it more livier than our death marching which is 4-2 step marching. jackson state famu, and southern university copy this fast marching from osu, jsu uses it for it enter on the field, su uses it to change from they stage formation to it dance formation and fuma uses it to bring the band into lines and a tuba entrance my question is y do one of the bass drummers run ahead of the drumline.

  • I must say, I am a Notre Dame fan and my son was even in the ND band one year. But the Buckeye band rocks! I love watching! GO OHIO..BEAT THE WOLVERINES!

  • I'm in the marching band. This is one of the most exciting parts of gameday. The people in the front half of the band do run into the stadium, myself included

  • whats the arm extension thingy for? and also the what looks like the run in? just curious, i love this band ^_^

  • I'm not sure why the sousas and bass drums extend their arms. Just a tradition they have before entering the stadium I guess. It's the first time I've ever seen it from this viewpoint.

    The band marches in at 180 beats per minute (ramp tempo for Buckeye Battle Cry). It's not running, but definitely fast.

  • @mandl345 The bass drums do it too because bass drummers are beasts.

  • Looks like it signals a change into the next cadence. They don't run in. The cadence they march into is at 180 beats per minute. It is the same cadence speed as their "Ramp" entrance.

  • Actually they are running in. Once they enter the stadium, its a run. Otherwise you will crush someone

  • No, the back of the band really is running (in tempo, with hopefully some exhibition of marching technique) by that point. It's one of those situations where each row waits for the row ahead to move before they do, so by the end, response times have created huge gaps.

  • Comment removed

  • Right.

    When the band enters the stadium they all march down the ramp and 'make a hole.' It's all to get J-I row (percussion) in the front of the band for Ramp.
