The Buckeye game definitely took backseat to the halftime this week


Recommended Posts


Sure, any quality band could do this. It would mostly be a matter of the creativity and imagination of whoever was writing the drill. The songs they played are simple enough, and there aren't really that many formations in this particular show. The smooth animation would take a couple days of practice, but overall not too complicated.

 

If it was more complicated, it would be less successful. This halftime show was creatively planned, relatively simple, with brilliant results. Bo can take a lesson from this with his defensive schemes, amirite?

Maybe this is why they're TBDBITL - Camaraderie

 

The Ohio State University marching band is in some sh#t after an investigation revealed the band to be more or less Porky's with tubas and kettle drums. A report stemming from the university's two-month investigation has quite a few details on the internal goings-on of the Best Damn Band in the Land, including the raunchy nicknames bestowed by upperclassmen, explicit fight songs for rival schools, and "tricks" performed by members.

Let's start with the tricks, which the report defines as "acts individual Band members perform, either on command or at their own volition."

That band camp sh#t in American Pie was telling the truth....

So the complaint came about because Jon Waters didn't empathize with her enough apparently. He investigated what she said, turned it over to the university, and the student in question was expelled.

This is pretty disheartening. He pretty much did everything correctly. What was he supposed to do? Ban students from having their own parties on their own accord?

I remember going to Madison in 2008 and the entire Wisconsin band being suspended for sexual harassment.

 

They made some female band members perform F on a D(Hint: both words end in O)

 

 

Band members are geeks so they are mostly pervs too. Band Director shouldn't lose his job for this as I'm sure the UW director didn't either.
