For 90 years Ohio State University’s marching band has been performing Script Ohio - I think it’s absolutely fascinating to watch! Unbelievable precision and accuracy, I am always amazed.
I cried all the way through this performance-possibly one of the last opportunities my son may have to participate in this incredible band event, as he’s graduating in the spring.
If you’re able to watch this, maybe take a few minutes to appreciate these hard-working students. (the link is still a public view to a point)
Look closely - their instruments quickly come down as they cross one another, and then snap back into place as they turn a corner - I never tire of it!

Incredible! You must be very proud. Xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for watching Jules - bittersweet for sure.
DeleteThat’s so awesome! I have always loved my alumni’s marching band as well (UW-Madison)…they have their own signature and I’d be so thrilled to watch them come up into the stands at the games…and file through the bars near the stadium pre-game. It’s an amazing thing. (And thanks for sharing the link…I have never seen the OSU band. They are incredible. What great memories your son will have in the years to come!)
ReplyDeleteHi Robin - the band is always such fun isn’t it? He has two road trips coming up and he’s so thrilled to be chosen to go. You’re right - wonderful memories - for all of us (sniff, sniff)
DeleteI’m not on fb, so unfortunately, I can’t see the video. Enjoy these wonderful memories you are making! daisy
ReplyDeleteMorning Daisy- me neither, but it’s a public view to a point so you may be able to take a look with the link. Thanks for the good wishes-time flies doesn’t it?
DeleteWill need to go visit for sure. Am sure you are so proud of your son even though it may be his last. However being a U of M fan, Ohio State football has always been our nemesis rival team. Just not the band. Janice
ReplyDeleteHa! Always a competition we look forward to for an exciting match up!
