Ohio State marching band documentary TBDBITL 141 now available for free

Get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into TBDBITL, the documentary released last year is now available for free.

If you are an Ohio State fan, there’s no sound like it. No, we’re not talking about the sound of Michigan fans’ despair after yet another loss to the scarlet and gray, but the smooth pomp and circumstance that comes from the Ohio State marching band, more affectionately known as TBDBITL.

If you’re a fan of the best band in all of college football, then you are in luck. According to an announcement on Twitter, the documentary TBDBITL 141 is now available to watch for free. That’s right, the almost two-hour-long behind-the-scenes look at the 2018 season that goes from tryouts and training to some of the legendary halftime shows can now be viewed without cost.

The documentary was originally released on VIMEO as a pay-per-view feature in September of last year during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s now free on YouTube.

“The hard work, dedication and exceptional performances of our students in the marching band are well documented in this exciting and thoughtful film,” band director Christopher Hoch said. “Our 141st season was an incredible journey, and I’m thrilled that thousands of our fans will be able to watch it on YouTube.”

If you’d like to dial this baby up — and we know you do in the offseason — then simply go to the below shared on Twitter and follow the link. And, if you’re feeling generous, you can also give to the band’s scholarship fund to help future goosebumps form.

I know I for one will be setting some time aside with my family to watch what should be a pretty cool feature, one that will get me pumped up for the upcoming season.

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.”
