Ohio State raises the bar...

... on marching bands all across the country. A little video diversion, because I know each and every one if us needs it.

I have an interest in this because my dad and uncle used to play in the Drum & Bugle Corps when they were young, so we'd go to the competitions when I was a boy. Somewhere along the line we put away the tradition, but I still remember it fondly, and enjoy marching bands to this day.

Follow the link to see a couple animated .gifs that demonstrate the precision, and then a video of the full Ohio State marching band's halftime performance in their game against Michigan.

Their theme was "At the movies", and they creatively enacted scenes from films while playing the theme music. Pretty outstanding.

The Ohio State marching band’s latest shot at Michigan is mind-blowing
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Amazing to me.  I've never seen anything like it.
