    As a marching band member... we use things called drill books to learn the show. Each song is made up of many drill sheets and each drill sheet has a spot for everyone. Mark your points and plot how you move. Band camp usually takes about a week (10 hours a day) to put together a show.

      I too was in marching band and it was a lot of hours in the heat in the summer time during band camp and lord help you if you made a mistake. You were either running around the football field with full gear on or doing push-ups. So much practice goes into each half time show and I think its a real shame that they don't show them doing their half time routine anymore. They use to a long time ago. They deserve their time in the lime light as well.

      @IONATVS Pƙed 3 lety +6

      The pushups part depends entirely on the band. Because upper arm strength only actually helps with Low Brass and colorguard, but some old-fashioned directors insist on it anyway to “build character.” My high-school band was pretty good and basically never used pushups above the section level-if the trumpets wanted to do push-ups they could, but full band time was for drilling the movements and music and most sections were too busy with more of that and things that actually helped them play better, like breathing and fingering exercises.

    Bands have people who develop the routines, formations, etc. Players memorize their moves; they really don't have the ability to look for the yard markers because they're playing while marching. So they'll get something like 15 steps forward, 10 steps right then 20 steps diagonally. Remember that the guides are different for each player so all the sequences mesh.

It used to be done on paper but over the last 15 years technology has allowed it to be created on iPads. My son marched 1999-2004 and they got sheets that showed the movement (kind of like a rolodex). They had to learn the movement AND the music. They don't have the music (like other bands do) attached to their instrument. If you ever make it to Columbus, Ohio for game day at Ohio State, they do skull session starting 2 hours before game time. It's held indoor at the old basketball arena across from the stadium and they play their pre-game and half-time show (no marching) and welcome guest bands (high school or the other team's band if they're in town).

    Now you start to see why football is so popular here. Starting hours before the game, all the fans party in the parking lot, called a "tailgate party" after the tailgates of pickup trucks and station wagons used as kitchen tables for cooking lunch, with grills and such standing nearby. Then there are ceremonies in the stadium before the game starts. Then at halftime there's a show such as you just watched. Then there's aftergame parties. It's not just a game, it's a whole day experience.

    Man, I love Ohio State's marching band. I've seen a couple of their half-time shows live, and they were a blast every time. If you decide to watch more of their stuff, I recommend watching their Script Ohio. It's incredible, really.
    And now, a recommendation for other good marching band videos- If you love complex and exciting performances by marching bands, I recommend you check out Drum Corps International (DCI) videos. DCI is basically competitive drum corps (marching bands) that tour around the country and compete in stadiums and the such. They are different from university/college marching bands because they compete and they don't belong to a school, as they are their own independent groups. Unfortunately, this year, due to the circumstances we are in the 2020 DCI season was cancelled. So, I think I'll recommend the DCI group that won during Grand National Championships last year- the Blue Devils. Their show was very artistic and theatrical, no dull moments with something always happening on the field. The shows title was called "Ghostlight". You can find a good video of their victory run after they won on the Blue Devils CZcams channel, where the camera switches between members wearing GoPros and a camera up in the audience. It's very high quality and very awesome.

    Glad you appreciate marching band. That was an awesome show. Both of my boys March, if it wasn’t answered in the 1000 comments ahead of me they practice all the time is how they get it right. It’s all about timing because their March is also town with their music and they do not look at the ground. Their eyes are on the drum major to keep time with music so everything they do marching wise is from memory and practice. And you nailed it on the head all that while playing an instrument. So all the air a normal athlete would use to play their sport is being used simply to make sound with the instrument but yet they still move constantly. It is incredible. If you ever get to the states you’ve got to go see a marching band in person!! You are so fun to watch.

    I did marching band in high school! We had band camp in the summer where we would start learning our music, and we'd also try to recruit incoming freshman coming to their freshman camp, so they'd get a chance to learn the music too. We practice for months! So we're ready as soon as the foot ball season begins. Once we've gotten the music and we practice marching in sync and following marching commands, someone choreographs the whole show on paper, and we learn it from there its easy when you have the lines on the ground. Everything is an 8 count, usually its a matter of making sure you're at the right line on time. I miss it honestly! Its such an experience to be in the show! And also bands usually battle each other in the stands, its fun seeing what the other bands bring to the table, and see who the audience vibes with more!

    This was nice. As someone who marched and played trombone, I realize the kind of work that goes into these shows. As someone who has seen about 100 halftime shows (from Rice University, to the University of Texas, Alabama, Ohio State, and countless high school shows), it's always fun to see the different bands' personalities. When push comes to shove, I stand by the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band.
    I don't know which video would be best, but a couple of other bands worth watching are Grambling State and Southern University. If you want to see craziness, those guys will leave you dizzy.

  • @derps0n839
    @derps0n839 Pƙed 4 lety +1

    They use software to design the formations. On the field you have to use the lines, hash marks, the count, and the people in the formation with you to know where you're supposed to be. In practice they will tell everyone how many steps to get from one formation to the next. Sometimes you go straight to it, other times you have to move as a line with others. Practice is a lot of standing around at first while everyone is learning to get set in a formation. Then it ramps up quickly when all the pieces come together.

    I live in Ohio and our high school marching band copied Ohio State, and we learned a new show each week. Most other marching bands learned one show for the entire year, but we learned all of that in just a few days. The one guy in the Red and White, he is called the Drum Major, and if you could see, he had a really heavy baton in his hands. Weighted on one end,m and a heavy ball on the other end. Our drum major went to Ohio State to learn to do what that guy was doing, and our guy was unreal. Baton twirling tricks. Throwing it way up, he spins around a few times then catches it band his back, or under a leg. Just unreal and since its weighted, you have to have super strong wrists to work it. But yeah, we learned a show like that starting on Monday, and the game was on Friday, and we had it down pat by Thursday. 4 days to memorize 3 new songs and all of those formation changes for each song. OSU's band is know as the best damn band in the land, and when we had a show at their stadium, they would be there and all knew of us, and would call us the best damn band in the land, since they knew we were the High School version of them.

    "That guy" is the drum major, who is basically the on-field conductor. I am not an Ohio State fan, but their band is really entertaining. They have a pre-game show which is one of the coolest traditions in college football called "Script Ohio". You need to react to that. If you thought the drum major was impressive in this video, you should see him in THAT routine. And yes, the big colleges do have scholarships for band members.

We have our own competitions that we go to with different shows every year. I do recommend watching a high school marching band we have some good shows too. if you would like feel free to watch my high schools schow from last year. I will leave the link at the end. We are the San Angelo High School Mighty Bobcat marching band and our show was called Classified and we placed first in class.

    I was in marching band in college (not at ohio state but at another school in ohio) they use charts with dots and placemarkers on the field as reference points. We made it a point to not use lines on our practice field so we can memorize where to go without lines and using the people around you as your reference point with in the line.
    That said I went to Europe (performed at a soccer match and Euro Disney), Canada, and various other places over the years. We were corp style this is more military style. They were also brass only (there are no woodwinds only brass instruments)

    Courtney, coming to you from Columbus, Ohio USA, home of "The" Ohio State University, the largest on-campus university in the U.S., over 50,000 students. The marching band is affectionately known as TBDBITL; "The Best Damn Band In The Land." The spectacle of this band being experienced live will literally make the hairs on your arm stand straight up. Imagine being in this stadium, filled with over 100,000 screaming and cheering fans. However, the ultimate thrill is to see their signature act when they perform what is known as "Script Ohio," where the band actually writes out "Ohio" in script. It IS breathtaking. I will provide a link to a video that certainly does not do the performance justice, but it will give you an idea.
