Ohio State doesn’t just have one of the best football programs in the country, it also has one of the best bands. Some might say it has the Best Damn Band In The Land, or TBDBITL for short (kind of).
To make one of the most revered bands in the country, you have to be one of the best. Once you are in the select club, the practices and routines aren’t exactly easy. There’s a lot of work that goes into it.
We often forget about the Ohio State Marching Band through all this social distancing, but it too is adjusting to a new normal, not able to meet together, practice, and do what it does to show you the product we see on the field and beyond each year.
But that’s okay. Just like every other club, team, and organization has had to adjust and get creative, so too has TBDBITL. On Sunday, the band shared a rendition of Across The Field virtually — keeping the social distancing in its rightful place.
Click on the below and watch the band measure out six feet, start slow, and allow others to join into what sounds pretty close to a full ensemble.
Even when social distancing, we're showcasing our Ohio State pride. Enjoy some Buckeye Battle Cry! #InThisTogetherOhio #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/u8zSbA1uK8

Hopefully, that brought a little smile to your face, just as it did mine when scrolling through Twitter.
