WATCH: Ohio State marching band mellophone only version of Buckeye Battle Cry

If you haven’t given the “The Ohio State Marching Band” Twitter account a follow yet, we suggest you do. There are always some interesting videos and sound-bytes shared in tweets that will give you not only a peek behind the curtain of one of the most revered bands in the country, but that will also brighten your day a bit amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

From virtual versions of some of the most time-honored Ohio State tunes to some behind the scenes looks, it’s well worth it.

The latest share from @TBDBITL features a mellophone only version of “Buckeye Battle Cry.” You’ve likely grown accustomed to the version you hear with the entire band together in concert with all parts working in unison, but it’s interesting to hear just the mellophones play their part.

Watch and listen below.

Listening to this really makes you appreciate the genius that goes into composing different parts that all work together to make some of the most iconic tunes of college football.
