tary band continued to also be a source of training for prospective members of the marching band as well as an ensemble for veteran marching band members to stay in shape with by 1980 the military band s uniforms were replaced for men s basketball games the band started wearing gray slacks and white shirts with a red vest for these games the military style uniforms continued to be used for concerts parades and the spring football game the military band met twice a week and once the spring football game was over the remainder of the year was typically spent teaching more advanced marching fundamentals used by the marching band 4 as the military band began performing at men s and women s basketball various different uniforms were experimented with for these athletic events including scarlet and gray striped waldo sweaters jerseys and t shirts the men s basketball band was an auditioned band while the bands that performed at other events were open enrollment in 1988 the marching band received funds for new uniforms dr jon woods kept the old marching band uniforms for use by the military band these uniforms were used by the military band until the 1992 spring football game after that game it was decided to retire the military uniforms and standardize the spring military band with red polo shirts and gray pants in 1994 dr jon woods decided to retire the name military band since the band typically performed at only one rotc event and did not wear any type of military uniform the program was restarted in the autumn of 1994 as the athletic band the athletic band continued to perform at the same functions as the military band did during winter and spring quarters 4 in the autumn quarter of 1996 dr jon woods was approached by the osu athletic department to form a fall quarter athletic band this band would perform at women s volleyball games during the autumn and then perform at pre season men s basketball and ice hockey games the first volleyball band at osu premiered with 14 students one of whom was the conductor the band continued to experiment with various uniforms including track suits t shirts and polos as enrollment increased the athletic band would be split into evenly orchestrated smaller bands which rehearsed together and occasionally performed as a full ensemble in the early 21st century with declining enrollment the winter athletic band ended auditions for the men s basketball band and rather split up the total enrollment of the band into smaller bands of relatively equal instrumentation in 2006 the band staff launched what it called the total band program this program emphasized the importance of the athletic band alongside the marching band the marching band would host an event every spring known as junior senior night which invited high school students to tour the marching band facilities and perform with the marching band in a concert at the end of the day high school students would be given a tour in small groups by squad leaders and other members of the marching band this event was opened to athletic band in 2006 and junior senior night was opened to all students who played any band instrument students who play woodwinds would be given tours and information by section leaders of their respective sections in athletic band the band staff also decided to remove fall winter and spring from the athletic band name allowing for one continuous band through the year a new logo a crest of similar design to the marching band crest was commissioned and embroidered on new polo shirts these efforts by the band staff have helped to bolster enrollment in the fall quarter as well as continue to provide for a very robust winter and spring quarter band the 2006 spring athletic band marching in the kentucky derby parade beginning in 2011 the athletic department requested that the men s basketball band did not total more than 57 musicians to maximize the number of seats for spectators this arrangement made the band staff determine in the fall of 2012 that the men s basketball band should once again be an audition band to allow for the best musicians to perform at those games in 2012 ohio state transitioned from quarters to semesters allowing for only fall and spring bands the fall band began rehearsing twice a week fall band used to rehearse once a week only and with more emphasis on musicianship memorization and choreography the athletic band program has continued to evolve into a highly energetic program that complements the marching band throughout the year the athletic band performs at men s and women s basketball men s and women s volleyball men s and women s ice hockey men s soccer wrestling the spring football game an rotc pass in review as well as an annual concert on campus typically the fall band program numbers around 200 musicians with the spring band often totaling more than 300 the school fight songs buckeye battle cry and fight the team across the field were first performed by the marching band in the early 20th century other traditional songs performed by the band are the 1960s pop hit hang on sloopy and the famous we don t give a damn for the whole state of michigan which was popularized by james thurber in the broadway production of the male animal several other popular charts include al jarreau s boogie down the michael stanley band s my town royal crown revue s hey pachuco and recent hits such as adele s rolling in the deep and bruno mars locked out of heaven the athletic band performs music of many different styles and genres which allows for a variety of music to be played at performances and also allows expansion of the musicianship of the performers in the ensemble composition edit every september the marching band holds tryouts roughly 400 or more people try out for the marching band s 228 positions as such a significant number of musicians are cut the band staff offers all of those cut the opportunity to return to the band center the following week to play through various school songs and popular music pieces many students who have committed to moving in early as well as columbus local students return for these pre school year rehearsals marching band candidates make up a significant proportion of the brass and percussion sections of the athletic band many students who do not make the marching band their first or second year improve their marching and musicianship via the athletic band and subsequently make the marching band many students who tried out for the marching band and subsequently join athletic band find the atmosphere more to their preference and stay with athletic band other students including most woodwind players join athletic band because of the atmosphere schedule and performance opportunities the athletic band is a non audition band meaning any student with previous music experience is allowed to join in sections such as the trumpets and trombones part placement hearings are held these do not deny a person the ability to perform however it will denote which part they play for that semester such as trumpet 1 2 or 3 or trombone 1 2 or 3 these hearings consist of scales range exercises and reading the school songs marching band members who also play in athletic band will often play the same instrument in both though exceptions have happened in the past because of this some instruments read music that would normally be out of range such as the e cornet which often plays alto saxophone parts an octave higher members of the athletic band who have not previously been in the marching band are eligible to play e cornet flugelhorn and bass trombone on an individual basis typically flugelhorns play the 3rd trumpet part while bass trombones may play either specifically written for bass trombone or the lowest trombone part the band consists of the following instrumentation e cornets b trumpets b flugelhorns f mellophones b trombones b bass trombones b baritones b sousaphones c piccolos c flutes b clarinets e alto saxophones b tenor saxophones occasionally e baritone saxophones occasionally snare drums tenor drums bass drums cymbals bass guitar on occasion other instruments may show up playing on parts in their natural range some instruments that have been in athletic band include oboes bassoons concert tubas and marching brass not normally associated with the marching band for spring athletic band the band is broken down into a block band for the field performances at the spring football game the instrumentation of the spring band is not modified to fit the block rather the block is modified to accommodate the number of musicians for purposes of band quality and because of a limited number of seats at various athletic events the band is divided as evenly as possible into two larger bands called scarlet and gray which each compose of one half of the band as well as numerous other bands labeled a b and c sometimes even d e f etc which are all divided as evenly as possible the smallest bands typically perform at women s basketball and volleyball games so the greatest number of tickets can be available for the numerous fans the athletic band is unique in that there is no limit to the number of semesters one may spend in the program the marching band only allows for 5 years and completions of the course curriculum unless there are extenuating circumstances a student may petition for a sixth year but unless a year could not be completed for reasons beyond their control i e death in the family military service etc it is rare and almost impossible to be granted a sixth year athletic band has a credit maximum as well the band staff does not limit athletic band members to the credit maximum though many students choose to take athletic band as an audited course receiving credit hours but no grade or as an independent study course under one of the band staff as such some students through the years have accumulated 20 quarters and semesters of seniority in the program the average four year college student would spend 12 quarters or 8 semesters in the program because of the nature of the program it is also open to pseop students high school juniors and seniors taking college courses on campus graduate and doctorate level students the office of continuing education s senior program persons 60 years of age who qualify for free non credit courses at osu as well as osu faculty and staff some musicians who regularly perform with the band have 25 or more academic terms of seniority the purpose of seniority within the athletic band is to select members for tournament trips ncaa rules set the limit of musicians at any tournament game at 30 29 musicians plus a director all of the instruments are represented except bass guitar electric guitar crash cymbals and tenor drums out of the rest of the athletic band those with the highest seniority per section are invited to play for the women s basketball tournament directed by dr chris hoch those who do not make that group are invited to perform for the men s hockey tournament directed by one of the graduate assistants seniority also assists in picking section leaders primarily for spring band when the athletic band performs a full pre game and halftime show often one member of athletic band will be the head squad leader and a member with less seniority but performs with both the marching and athletic bands will be assistant squad leader helping mainly with marching and attendance student staff edit as well as the 200 300 marching and playing members of the band there are 14 additional student staff members who do not march the student staff is responsible for the day to day happenings on the student level of the band there are two head staff members who oversee the student staff these staff members also work for the marching band during the fall the 14 member student staff consists of head secretary two assistant secretaries and one librarian secretary head manager who oversees two uniform managers one seamstress two instrument managers two record fund managers and two a v technicians all staff members wear the athletic band uniform and work throughout the entire school year in the band offices the student staff is in charge of holding director ladders for stability during field performances extra staff members not holding ladders stand along the sidelines to scan the field for wayward hats mouthpieces or tuning slides that may fall off during a performance section leaders athletic band advisory council abac representatives edit originally started in 2019 autumn semester abac contains members selected from each section to represent their respective section these members are the section leaders there is at least one member at large who is not a section leader but regardless has a position on abac traditions edit each fall the athletic band is invited to perform at the homecoming skull session with the marching band this showcases the many talented musicians that make up both the marching and athletic bands the athletic band arrives at st john arena well before the marching band and plays several pieces for the fans in attendance typically an ohio high school marching band is also present for these skull sessions and the athletic band trades off performances with this high school band performances of school songs and associated traditions show off the common bonds that both bands share while the diverse selection of music that the athletic band plays shows off the differences from the marching band while the marching band is required to memorize all show and stand music and the athletic band is not the athletic band will typically play a far greater range of musical genres during an event than the marching band does at a typical football game the 2006 fall athletic band performs at the homecoming marching band skull session the varied instrumentation of the athletic band is seen clearly script on ice edit script ohio was first performed by the ohio state university marching band on october 24 1936 at the ohio state versus university of pittsburgh football game according to the ohio state university library a similar floating formation was first performed during the 1932 season by the university of michigan marching band however it was a set piece instead of being formed in a follow the leader style drill the script ohio is the most identifiable trademark associated the ohio state university marching and athletic bands it was devised by band director eugene j weigel who based the looped ohio script design on the marquee sign of the loew s ohio theatre in downtown columbus in the early 2000s decade the athletic band directing staff as well as the athletic department realized the wild popularity of the script ohio having been performed at professional football games a world series game and on the deck of the uss enterprise the athletic dept wanted to bring this longstanding tradition to new audiences and asked the band staff if it would be possible to create a script ohio on an ...
