KDIGGZ Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I had friends at Notre Dame that were jealous that Ohio st called themselves the best damn band in the land.

SinceThe70s Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I came across this a few years back and it is outstanding. At one point OSU band is playing Frankenstein and march as Frankenstein playing guitar: Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UFW72NeTgg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 2nd best. I rate USC as the top band followed by OSU. USC wins cheerleaders, OSU can have the band...

Sometimes a better experience than the team itself... the band never lets us down! https://tbdbitl.osu.edu No one ever goes to a game just to see a marching band. It adds to the experience yes completely agree, but if they are such a draw they would sell out stadiums when they have college band competitions.(they don't) Â Also highly unlikely anyone who is a football fan cares about a college band unless they are fans of, alumni, or go to that college. Â Don't believe me? Try having the Ohio State Band play at halftime at Kinnick Stadium someday. The boos would rain allllllllll day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Are you an OSU football fan? If so, read on. Â My son just entered high school and is in the marching band. I had heard a few years ago that our marching band is head and shoulders above the others in the area. Our football team not so much. Â So I go to the first game of the year to see my son play at half-time and this player on the other team (Lindenhurst) just wrecks the game, a man among boys. WR, LB and kicker. Unstoppable. The next morning I pick up the Sunday paper and he's front and center on the high school section...and he's committed to OSU as a tight end. Here's the story: Â http://www.newsday.com/sports/high-school/football/ohio-state-football-commit-jeremy-ruckert-ready-for-a-big-senior-year-at-lindenhurst-1.14107369 Â And if you're interested in a high school marching band that doesn't suck: Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H6dyzlWwoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 When I saw "best damn band" in the title, I thought of Led Zeppelin, not the Ohio State Marching Band. Guess I'm on a different wavelength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Marching bands are the only kind of entertainment I think appropriate, at a football game. And a really good band is a joy to watch. OSU, USC, and most of the big schools have good bands. I was always a fan of the traditionally black college bands, but I haven't seen too many examples, in recent years. Major exceptions are the bands from Florida Southern and Southern University and A&M College (the "Human Jukebox"). I also think Stanford's band is very fun to watch---and, let's face it, completely crazy at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowgirlsFan Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The best damn band was also in London for the Bills vs the Jaguars game in October of 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
