Script Ohio

Script Ohio is a musical drill performed by the Ohio State University Marching Band during pregame celebrations at Ohio State University American football games. The first instance of a standing script Ohio formation on the field was made by the University of Michigan. The intricate moving and marching formation that is seen today, however, was created by The Ohio State University Marching Band. It has been credited as the earliest example of "moving script writing" by a marching band and has been variously described as "one of college football's most iconic, longstanding traditions" and among "the most impressive examples of American folk art in existence". The maneuver is performed to the Robert Planquette march "Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse".
