How in the fuck?

[–]miss_jessi 16 points17 points ago

In marching band, every few measures or music, you get specific coordinates as to where you're supposed to be on the field. So they all just follow their coordinates, and it makes that.

[–]XZenogear 7 points8 points ago

i.e. the reason I switched to pit.

[–]Basilisc 4 points5 points ago

I love marching sets, and don't like playing. I'd rather be on the field than in the pit.

[–]vinjhup 0 points1 point ago

Ashamed to admit that that's half the reason I joined the pit.

[–]bobthecrusher 1 point2 points ago

Making stick figures like this is actually fairly simple compared to some sets I've seen.

[–]danamos 2 points3 points ago

Semi-related: Anyone know where I can find the last few DCI championships? Or a nice juicy bundle of warm-ups...

I was hoping someone would post this. Hawaii's marching band is also very good. I posted the original video to youtube but never seen it as a gif.

[–]cmotdibbler 36 points37 points ago

Triple Michigan grad here and have to admit this is awesome.

[–]Imperial476 5 points6 points ago

What do you mean by "triple" michigan grad? Like undergrad, graduate, phd? Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

[–]cmotdibbler 10 points11 points ago

BS, MPH, PhD and now faculty.

[–]calicliche 4 points5 points ago

Wait, you are now faculty at Michigan after getting all 3 previous degrees there? Did you go anywhere else directly after finishing your PhD and get tenure there?

Sincerely, current PhD student who kind of loves Ann Arbor.

[–]cmotdibbler 2 points3 points ago

I did a 6 year post doc in Europe. It wasn't planned that way but a couple of babies and a recession in the US made job hunting difficult. We never planned to come back to A2 so funny how things work out. I do research but am non-tenure track. Networking is really important.

[–]calicliche 1 point2 points ago

Ah, ok that makes a lot of sense. I'm currently halfway through a 2 year pre-doc in Germany but would not mind one bit if I ended up in Ann Arbor at the end, it's such a nice place to raise kids and such a stimulating professional environment. A girl can dream ...

[–]Imperial476 1 point2 points ago

Have you had any sort of negative feedback about getting your degrees from the same place? I was told I should diversify my studies for my graduate degree by attending another university, but I chose to return to my undergraduate school. I am considering a Phd, but I am not sure if it is a necessity to continue at another school.

[–]albequirky 0 points1 point ago

How Jamie Phillips of you.

[–]albinogoldfish 0 points1 point ago

Michigan grad here. It was alright...

[–]bassabrig 61 points62 points ago

I am currently a member of this marching band. It was definitely surreal hearing the crowd's reaction to this!

[–]WyoBuckeye 34 points35 points ago

Great job guys. Ohio loves you.

[–]Sennash 5 points6 points ago

I can attest to this. I'm here at the University of Cincinnati but I have so much pride for THE Ohio State University! You guys do a great job on the field and its so cool.

[–]bassabrig 9 points10 points ago

Thank you sir!

[–]I_am_the_cheese 5 points6 points ago

Awesome! I am a student and was at the game. Great work!

[–]MCCornflake1 2 points3 points ago

You are so lucky. I'd give anything to be able to march at the Horseshoe. As a Canton South alumni, I solute you.

There's no reason to be an insolvent prick about it. I mean, damn.

[–]smartzie 0 points1 point ago

Awesome job! As former band geek and OSU student, keep up the good work!

[–]Justyce54 0 points1 point ago

I was in the crowd and it was a big surprise. Usually the first game of the year the show is a little flat because the students aren't back yet.

I liked the new formations for the National Anthem and for when the team comes on the field. Great job!

[–]hennyfurlopez 86 points87 points ago

Old man Biddle gave me a riddle just the other day, I guessed it right away, I am glad to say, The riddle he gave to me, I will give to you--, And if you think you're smart like me, Let's see what you can do.

(It's) Round on the end and "Hi" in the middle. Tell me if you know. Don't you think that's a cute little riddle Round on the end and "Hi" in the middle You can find it on the map if you look high and low. The O's are round, it's high in the middle. O-H-I-O That's the riddle! Round on the end and "Hi" in the middle. O-HI-O!

Pa and mother, my great big brother couldn't guess it right, Tho' they tried with all their might, Just the other night, I've got the riddle down by heart, And I ain't no fool, I'm goin' teach this riddle too, To all the kids at school.

[–]doppleganger2621 37 points38 points ago

The band performing this drill is The Ohio State University Marching Band (who is best known for what is widely-recognized as the greatest tradition in college football, Script Ohio)

The "O-H", "I-O" response is an OSU fan-favorite where one fan, or group of fans will yell "O-H" and another fan will respond, "I-O".

More here. This is also performed in the stadium by each 'side' during games

[–]andshewas_45 23 points24 points ago

T. B. D. B. I. T. L.

[–]NeverDieKris 9 points10 points ago

For those who don't know. The.Best.Damn.Band.In.The.Land

[–]mighteee 28 points29 points ago

And almost everywhere in the world you can stand up and shout O-H! and someone will answer I-O! I love the Buckeyes... Columbus born and raised!!!

To clarify: I've tested this all over Italy and Mexico and two places in Canada, but I've had friends do it in China, Japan, Germany, England and France. Russia... maybe not. You might be arrested and/or shot, but everywhere else, hell yes.

[–]nodlehsmd 25 points26 points ago

I did my undergrad at Ohio State, now I'm doing grad school at Oregon. I saw someone the other day at the book store wearing an Ohio State shirt and OH'd him. Got nothing back but a confused look, it was super embarrassing. I don't regret it, though. Even though everyone else in that scene thinks I'm the weird one, I know in my heart that he's the motherfucker wearing an Ohio State shirt who doesn't know what to do when someone yells "O-H!" at you.

[–]mighteee 10 points11 points ago

We call them bandwagon fans. They know nothing of the terror they wreak.

[–]Avalon81204 4 points5 points ago

Can confirm. Did it at the Magic Kingdom in Disney world and no less than 12 people responded.

[–]mighteee 2 points3 points ago

Awwwww yeah. I'm living in NYC now and I'm gonna go do it at times square some night just for shits and giggles.

[–]doppleganger2621 9 points10 points ago

This is fact. I was in the Grand Canyon once and was "O-H"ed

[–]mighteee 8 points9 points ago

My favorite was being on the island of Capri, in the middle of the Tyrrrhenian Sea with some friends, standing at an old castle ruins and shouting 'O-H' and getting a very faraway sounding response of 'I-O!'

[–]flaming_sousa 1 point2 points ago

OSU's band is awesome. I say this from the perspective of a member of a different college band, who just saw them two weeks ago, and I have to say they are one of the best groups I have ever seen, maybe including some DCI corps.

[–]JBHUTT09 4 points5 points ago

I can't be the only one who is impressed by the level of noise a group of people can create together. I mean, damn, that's loud.

[–]enjoytheshow 3 points4 points ago

103,000 people is a lot of people.

[–]JBHUTT09 1 point2 points ago

Yeah. Imagine what 1,000,000 people yelling at once would sound like! How about 1,000,000,000? It would be insane. I don't know why but that thought really interests me for some reason.

[–]CallTheOptimist 3 points4 points ago

As a person who has grown up a Buckeye, I think it's kind of funny that there are people in this world who don't immediately get that call and response.

[–]strallweat[S] 7 points8 points ago

What's round on each side and hi in the middle?
O-HI-O.

[–]BlondeGhandi 0 points1 point ago

I started out hi with two o's just like ohio.

[–]ainsley27 0 points1 point ago

Watching an Ohio State football game at a bar? Yell O-H!

You will certainly get an I-O! in return.

Galilean satellite!

[–]moparornocar 4 points5 points ago

This went over my head, care to explain?

[–]Marstead 7 points8 points ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io_(moon)

One of four moons of Jupiter described as Galilean moons or satellites

It's pronounced "I-O" hence the joke :D

[–]moparornocar 1 point2 points ago

"Football band"? lol

[–]RadtasticNinjaChick 40 points41 points ago

Seriously. It's a MARCHING band. This former, now graduated drum major wants to make OP run a lap with a sousaphone on his back.

[–]CorporalCauliflower 10 points11 points ago

Get some tenor drums around his waist!

[–]yum_strawberries 4 points5 points ago

Tenor player here. I can confirm that having the wind players complaining makes me want to jam their flutes down their throats.

[–]GnarlyToaster 3 points4 points ago

Also Tenors

Everyone needs to try to wear those fuckers for an hour. Then they can complain about their flutes and trumpets.

Ohio State Marching Band. Best damn band in the land!

[–]doppleganger2621 30 points31 points ago

The OSU Marching Band also famously 'sank' the Titanic in during a show in 2006 (and then rose the Black Pearl)

[–]Backstop 11 points12 points ago

My favorite was the F-14 complete with exhaust when doing the Top Gun themed show.

[–]doppleganger2621 9 points10 points ago

And, you know, for science

[–]McLargepants 0 points1 point ago

That was the first half time show I marched in. The crowd reaction to that set is something I will never forget.

[–]3yearoldgenius 6 points7 points ago

What I find interesting is the sinking of the titanic was a tragic event during the time it happened. If they did a replication of 9/11 people would be furious. Wait 100 years and it'd be totally cool.

Just an interesting thought I had.

[–]rondinelli1337 4 points5 points ago

While I understand what you're saying, it's hard to compare the two.

The titanic was an accident. 9/11 was a planned attack on America. I don't think people would find pearl harbor too funny if OSU did that.

[–]3yearoldgenius 4 points5 points ago

You're absolutely correct. I didn't think of it like that.

[–]DankDarko 0 points1 point ago

One was also a terrorist act of violence the other was just a tragic mistake.

As a former marching band member, the title shouldn't have "football" in it at all.

[–]Mr_Dr_Prof_Patrick_ 6 points7 points ago

[–]Lizardizzle 2 points3 points ago

It's like asking to play a woodwind in a drum corps.
