My dad, Richard L. Jones, was Drum Major in 1939 & 40. As a senior, he did some shows as a second Drum Major with your dad in 1941.

Chefm4477 , That is so cool!

Ralph Jones , This is so cool!!

@@rmjbuckeye5724 Small world :D

Inbreed in Ohio you mean

Bends into an o for Ohio

@@kathleenodonnell2206 oh !!!!!!! I never would have guessed that. Merry Xmas to you.

@@oldergeologist ok..

With out soldiers there would be no wars to fight. It is dishonorable that they are nessasary in this day in age.

Nah this is pretty great

Laniekea Nah, without soldiers, someone will make soldiers. Best be prepared when someone does that and threatens you

@@Admwings you must not understand. If somehow there was no one willing to fight left, there would be no wars.

Laniekea I understand, I was simply saying that, as history has shown, people will continue to fight.

This young man, the Drum Major, has already accomplished more at age 21 or 22 than you ever will in your entire lifetime. Let all of us know the first time you ever have 105,000 people applauding you...

Gerard Jones I don’t think they are actually “males”.

Ummmm drum majors get plenty of attention on a college campus. They are seen as athletes

What? do you take meds?

Not everyone goes there just for the Football Team. They go there to support Ohio State, whether they play football or are part of the band. The drum major, as he said, is one of the symbols of the state.

Ben Perrin did you play with Barbie dolls when you were a kid too

Man, its almost as if there are other things to do in life than run around in tights wearing protective gear and sling around a bunch of sweaty guys. Try not to eat too many crayons there, bud.

Jamie Gambino yea like most guys in the band you grew up playing with Barbie dolls

@@jamiegambino2460 probably shoves them up his nose

Eric Burns youre stupid stupid

Eric Burns please post your back bend. We'll all wait.

You want to see how a real drum major does it???? Look up UofM drum major they will show you how to do it right. Plus we will even teach you to script ohio back in the 1930s. Keep it up....

@@ericburns3963 Ok. I'll try to find it. I love OSUMB's Drum Majors! Awesome job they all do.

Because the fact that you all believe this is in anyway meaningful or significant let alone hard, running with a stick and twirling it a few times... it's sad.

@@heybabes109 it's sad you don't understand it, my guy

Get outta here

Matt brady go somewhere else and be rude. That’s not nice. I’m not an Ohio state fan but I am a fan of people and this young man has something wonderful to be very proud of.

Your definition of “real” marching looks more like walking to me. I’ve done both. High step military style is more physically demanding, and makes it harder to play well, which requires more attention to individual technique. It’s also a better system for learning all new music and drill for every game, which in my experience, most corps style bands don’t do, which is incredibly boring. Who wants to see and hear the same thing every week? They each have their places. It’s a college football game, not a DCI competition.
