Ohio State Marching Band Percussion Show Marching Into Skull Bass Drums 10 17 2015 OSU vs PSU

Watch for the window screen falling out of it's frame (above the red handrail) at 0:44 in the upper left corner of the screen as the bass drums play. It's very loud in that stairwell! The Ohio State Marching Band marching into St. John Arena for the Skull Session at the Penn State game on October 17, 2015. Shot in the outer lobby/stairwell. The percussion sections, except for the snares, end up in this area as the Band marches into St. John in reverse alphabetical Row order (X first followed by T, S, etc.) Not sure how they manage to swing those bass drums like they do. The cymbals have an entertaining routine, at one point spelling O-H-I-O one letter at a time.

Note the bass drummer who rushes ahead of the rest of his Row as the Band enters the stadium. He strikes a plaque at the entrance in a ritual reminiscent of the "Three Knocks" performed by the Drum Major.
