110 and OSU Band Playing Together

Not sure how I feel about this...would like to see our superior band and style stand on it's own as a direct contrast to OSU's "normal" style. 😁

When Jon Woods retired as band director, OSU changed their style from traditional marching, like the 110, to using animation props.

Now OSU is very similar in style to a Bands of America high school program.

Traditional marching requires more skill and its easier to spot mistakes. The 110's shows rely on the talent of their members, not "tricks" .

I follow Drum Corps. Everyone I know who follows drum corps rates the skill required for the 110's style superior to OSU.

This year OSU even switched when the play their signature "Hang on Sloopy"
from the stat of the fourth quarter.
Has caused a bit of griping among their fans.

Whatever happened to good old fashioned competition? Last week the coaches even joked about battle of the bands because they knew the game would not be competitive. Now we're just gonna roll over and allow them to water down our superior product? This is clearly a publicity stunt aimed at getting clicks.

Maybe I'm the crazy one? Am I the only one who is not looking to make friends this weekend? lol

There will be a postgame show for them to �battle� 😀

The OSUMB members attempting a 110 dance does intrigue me. I�ve heard they�ve already had to make a couple dance moves easier. 😂

Watched both half time and postgame on YouTube.

Both bands looked very good and did a bit of what they do best.

From what I could tell on line, the OSSU fans were respectful and appreciative of
the 110's style.

The OSU boomer sitting behind me was not amused. �That�s not marching� and comments like that throughout.

But overall it did seem well received.

Dispatch now reporting it. Although, the Ohio Spokesperson is flat out wrong on the housing. They told the 110 members to find their own housing Friday night. Some members were from Columbus and could crash at home or with friends. Others were housed by Olentangy Orange HS band families. I kind of question some of the other figures and who paid for them.

Why did Ohio University�s Marching 110 sit in C Deck during the Ohio State football game?

Care to give us non-subscribers the scoop? This is starting to get more buzz than the game did. I was up in the c deck and liked the band up there with us. OSU sent their pledges way up there to play in the second half, drowning out OUr band, thought that was annoying.
