BoddaH1994 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I just learned from Kings Island's Twitter that the OSU Marching Band will be on hand on May 30th to perform at Kings Island. For any of you band geeks (and I mean that with respect!) the OSU marching band is one of the most renowned marching bands in the nation. Quote
Hoeter Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 What does TBDBNTL mean? I have an idea but I'm not sure if I'm even remotely correct! Can we get Michigan's band down here too and have ourselves a feud? Andrew- proud to call Ohio his home because the Buckeyes are the best college football team in the nation. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 What does TBDBNTL mean? I have an idea but I'm not sure if I'm even remotely correct! "The Best darn Band in the Land" I had to look it up myself. Quote
Hoeter Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Ryan, you win a years supply of car wax! I thought that was what that meant but I wasn't sure. I'm only 21 and I don't even know half of these acronyms the youngsters use! Quote
RMBryan Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 TBDBNTL? It's TBDBITL. THE BEST darn BAND IN THE LAND! Get it right or pay the price! Quote
buckeyemaniac Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Yea, it's TBDBITL, not TBDBNTL or whatever you said. Anyone who has not seen TBDBITL needs to see them, it's a great experience because they are the best marching band in the world. Quote
KingCobra Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I think that it will actually be the Ohio State Spring Athletic Band and not the marching band. They are also going to be at Cedar Point's opening on saturday Quote
StalkerChick Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 What does TBDBNTL mean? I have an idea but I'm not sure if I'm even remotely correct! "The Best darn Band in the Land" I had to look it up myself. *sigh* you lose major points for that fail there ryan. and yes ty bryan for correcting the spelling. TBDBITL is A-MAZING darn it i wasn't gonna go back to the park this month, but now that might have to change... grrr.... Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry about the typo! I meant TBDBITL. I thought I had it right. But I always wanted to be part of that band but I can not. I play the saxophone and they are an all brass band. If anybody has ever been part of a marching band, you know all the hard work we go through to prepare for our haft time show at foot ball games. The demand for making and keeping your position in TBDBITL is out of this world. There is always someone waiting to take your spot if you goof up. The one thing that I like about this band is the military precision that they maintain. I like their format (which all colleges have) rather than the format that high school bands now have endorced, which is more of a drum and bugle style. This is the style that is seen at the marching contests sites that bands perform in compeition. My old high school band I don't think has even played a Sousa march in ages for this reason. Granted I attended these contests while in the band and we performed the military style as colleges use. My years was from 1969 to 1973 when I attended high school. Quote
