Ohio State marching band releases documentary ‘TBDBITL 141’

You can now download and watch a documentary detailing the 2018 season of the Ohio State marching band.

We’ve seen many sports documentaries released over the years. Producers have unloaded the vault for some special ones this year during a global pandemic when folks were clamoring for sports content when the pause on almost all sports occurred.

From the “Last Dance” documentary about Michael Jordan’s final year with the Bulls, to the Lance Armstrong 30 for 30, to the “Long Gone Summer” 30 for 30 about Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa’s home run chase, we’ve seen a lot.

Now comes another intriguing documentary released by the Ohio State marching band titled “TBDBITL 141.” Truth be known, it won’t be appealing to the entire country but will to most of Buckeye Nation as a peek behind the curtain of one of the most revered college bands in the world during the 2018 season. It’s something not everyone has too much experience with unless you were a part of it.

“Millions of people are familiar with The Ohio State University Marching Band as a result of their jaw-dropping halftime performances on YouTube. But not very many people are aware of how much time and effort goes into these shows,” said filmmaker Joe Camoriano. “With ‘TBDBITL 141,’ I wanted to pull back the curtain and give the public an opportunity to go on a personal journey with these students.”

WATCH: Ohio State marching band (TBDBITL) performs Carmen Ohio virtually

Several members of the Ohio State marching band took to Twitter to perform Carmen Ohio virtually. It will leave you with goosebumps.

Ohio State just recognized a slew of new members to its alumni base with a virtual graduation this past weekend. So, why not serenade them all with a virtual rendition of Carmen Ohio?

That’s just what some members of the Ohio State marching band did Sunday. Band Director Christopher Hoch led a few members in a Zoom rendition of the venerable classic in a video released to the OSU Marching Band’s official Twiter profile. You can barely tell the difference between a live performance with all members versus the video below.

Click on the below link and get ready to experience chills and goosebumps non-virtually.

TBDBITL forever …

WATCH: TBDBITL performs Buckeye Battle Cry with social distancing measures

The Ohio State band is also practicing social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Watch as it performs Across The Field virtually.

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.

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