    In addition to playing the instruments, the students have to memorize their positions to know when and where to stand, and they only have a week to master the routine. Our colleges/universities have marching bands that perform at halftime in every game. Ohio State has other videos: Top Gun, Wembley performance a tribute to England, and a few more. Another outstanding marching band is Texas A&M Fightin' Aggies. It's very different than Ohio State because they do military formations that will AMAZE you. MUST SEE! Enjoy!

    They are all students at the university. They are not paid. Almost all High Schools and Colleges have Marching Bands and do Field Shows at half time at their home football games. And you do a new show for each game so you usually only have a week to do your studies/homework got school and learn your music and positions on the field for the halftime shows each week. Love the marching bands, they make the game great and get the crowd fired up before the game, during the game and at halftime. ❤

      But I NEVER understood the purpose of "THE" in front of it, as if there are NUMEROUS OHIO STATE UNIVERSITIES out there. THAT is the only time you use "THE" in front of a name that has many others out in the world with the same name, to distinguish the ONE that is FAMOUS from others of the same name, who are NOT. Like there are a lot of men out there with the name "Robin Williams" (could be a male or female normal everyday citizen, since Robin is used as a first name for both boys AND girls) SO if someone is talking about a person named "Robin Williams" that they know, the other person might think he or she is talking about the famous comedian/actor "Robin Williams" and might say, are you talking about "THE Robin Williams" and the other person could say, "Oh no, it's just a guy I went to school with, it's NOT "THE" Robin Williams" I don't see other universities putting "THE" in front of their names because usually there IS NO OTHER UNIVERSITIES or COLLEGES that have the very same name. Just seems a little arrogant or elitist to me, and not necessary.

    Most of us start band in 4th or 5th grade so by the time you get to High School Band, you’ve already had 4-5 years of marching band so you are usually pretty good at marching and keeping your lines straight but Football Field Shows in High School is a whole new element to learn but by the time you get to college you’ve had 4 years of doing Football Field Shows but of course college Field Shows are a lot more intricate and harder but you’ve got the basics already and the drive and commitment with how to learn new music and field shows quickly.

    For a college halftime show that is equally impressive in an entirely different way, look at Texas A&M University's "Fightin' Texas Aggie Band", who do precision military drills that have to be seen to be believed.

  • @thexalon
    @thexalon Před 11 měsíci

    How I learned to march (not as well) in bands like this:
    1. You learn to manage the size of your stride to cover specific distances in a specific number of steps. For example, commonly it will take exactly 8 steps to get from one of those vertical lines to the next line. You are also taught steps that enable you to move around without disrupting your playing.
    2. You have to play all your music correctly from memory.
    3. To learn a routine, every member of the band is given specific instructions on exactly where they are supposed to be at certain points in the music, and also instructions on how to get there. You may have a section leader or something like that who is responsible for guiding 5-10 other members. So it will be something like "Start at the 50-yard line 5 standard steps in from the sideline, move backwards and to your left in 8 beats of music to halfway to the next yard line and 7 standard steps from the sideline". Of course, there's a shorthand for all of this, but that's the idea.
    4. Once you know everything you're supposed to be doing, you have to know how that fits into what everyone else is doing, so that the lines look straight or smooth as intended. The whole thing requires military precision, and indeed some of it came out of military marching traditions.

Honestly keeping the count is the most important part other wise you risk running into each other. But yes lots of practice at my school in 07 we started in summer did 3 weeks of 6 hr day practice. Then when school started it was practice 2× a week perform on friday halftime and then saturday was our competition. Where it would be a tournament of 20+ bands competing for a trophy. So as much as this is a perfomance for them its probably just a practice for when they compete.

    Some explanation is needed here: I trust you noticed the phone booth; in the black & white days, Superman changed in one, whereas today, he spins.
    The band is composed 100% of students, and it's possible to get a scholarship to OSU via this route. However, it's one of the most difficult to get in the country. They have 5 or 6 home games each season, and during that week beforehand, they spend more time on the field than the football team.
    Mt. Doom indicates it's Harry Potter.
    You were correct on #3. In case you didn't get it, at around 9:07, the T Rex opened his mouth, and swallowed someone--specifically someone from the other team, namely, U. of Michigan; then a little later, he spit out the guy's helmet at 9:49. Hilarious!
    Toward the end of Pirates of the Caribbean, the pirate face got a bandana.
    To get a scholarship to play in this band is one of the most difficult of any scholarship to win for any reason in the USA.
