The Ohio State University Buckeyes are one of the top college football programs in the United States.
But recently, the school’s marching band has been drawing as much attention for its on-field performances as the team itself.
Colloquially known as the “Best Damn Band in the Land,” the Ohio State Marching Band is one of the oldest college marching bands in the country, formed in 1878.
The band’s creative musical tributes have exploded into viral video sensations.
In the performance above, the band tips its hat to classic science fiction with spaceships, dancing aliens, and a recreation of Doc Brown’s time-travelling DeLorean from the movie “Back to the Future”.
Below, we’ve gathered some more of the band’s best offerings for your viewing pleasure.
