OSU Marching Band

Being part of TBDBITL isn't just about playing music — it's about precision, discipline, and being part of something much bigger than yourself.

The Story

I didn't join the marching band to boost my resume. I joined because I love music, I love competition, and I wanted to be part of a tradition that means something. What I found was one of the most demanding and rewarding experiences of my college career.

The hours are intense. The expectations are high. And on game day, when 100,000+ people are watching and you're executing formations that took weeks to perfect — there's nothing else like it. It teaches you that excellence isn't an accident. It's the result of relentless practice, attention to detail, and trusting the people around you.

Role Highlights

• Adhered to rigorous rehearsal and production timelines while balancing engineering coursework
• Consistently met strict weekly performance deadlines
