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.

Ohio State band trolls Michigan at halftime of Penn State game

In another nod to the Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry, the OSU band trolled Michigan by using a formation to cut the Block M.

There might be a big top ten matchup happening in the ‘Shoe right now between Ohio State and Penn State, but Ohio State always has its mind on Michigan.

The Buckeye band — affectionately known as TBDBITL — is world renown  for its halftime performances, and it might have just put one on for the ages when it comes to The Game between Ohio State and Michigan.

While performing a halftime formation, Ohio State merged into a scissors formation, unveiled a Michigan banner, and proceeded to cut that banner in half.

Thanks to Charlotte Wilder of SI for the video via her Twitter account. Hey Michigan band, you’re move. We’ll wait.

Let’s just hope the Ohio State defense does the same to Michigan’s chances of winning next week.
