The OSU Marching Band’s Tribute to Video Games

On Saturday, the theme of the Ohio State University (excuse me: THE Ohio State University) Marching Band’s routine at halftime of the Nebraska game should warm your nerdly little hearts: video games. Anyone who spent too much time and too many quarters at the arcade back in the day will appreciate this one. Pokemon, Mario, Halo, Pac-Man, even Tetris and many more….

Even Michigan fans will have to admit this is pretty impressive.

  3. Rob W says:

    That was pretty awesome, even if it was Ohio State. Go Badgers!

    To the guy that said they stole it from Stanford. A lot of marching bands have one video game themed shows. I doubt Stanford was first but even if they were who gives a shit? It’s still fucking cool!

    Pretty neat stuff.

    Hey Brutus, keep making ohio proud. Just remember that script ohio that you’re so proud of was first performed by Michigan’s marching band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_Ohio#Script_Ohio

    Cool show. Go Blue!

    That was pretty great! I’d like to know how long it took to remember that entire routine. I played elementary band and I had a difficult time just playing a trumpet, I can’t even imagine what it would take to do all of that while playing an instrument too. That’s dedication and skill, folks. Dedication and skill.

    I’m a student at OSU and got to be at the game, I absolutely love that all the websites I love are covering it. Makes me proud to be a buckeye!

    And I agree with Tyler Mears, Nerdist should come to Columbus!

  8. Tyler Mears says:

    Best damn band in the mother fuckin’ land! Go Bucks! and yes Nerdist needs to come to Cbus!

  9. This is so awesome!!! I’m such a Marching Band Nerd! I love this stuff. I love performing even more! There is nothing like the feeling of just knowing your music and where you are suppose to be.

    I don’t think most people realize how tough and demanding Marching Band is. I can imagine what the drill charts to that 9 minuet routine looks like.

    Amazing execution!!!
