The book that the movie was based on is entirely different.

Wow! That was spectacular! Love how they create moving characters. The “M” on the flying monkey was over the top, though.

So is the band show. Dorothy goes home to OHIO, not Kansas. ;)

Careful, according to Jane we are only supposed to discuss beheadings.

Bravo! That's a far, far cry from what the Occidental College band was able to do when I was a member. During my four years there, we did one halftime show in which we formed a beer can on the field while playing You've Said It All.

Thank you for posting.

I have seen a couple of their half-time shows on the internet. Very, very good band...and an even more impressive choreographer.

Thanks for posting this. My son (2005-2009) and I (1976-1980) both marched in the alumni game on September 13. I highly encourage you to spend a few minutes with this awesome show that makes a tribute to the U.S. military. 1000 current and past band members. The oldest marcher was a young 96 years old and was in the band during the 1930s.

OSUMB Alumni.

Awesome ‘marching and maneuver’ routine! Musicality is great, too! That is hard to do!

Been a while since I've seen the script Ohio.

Let alone four of them... ;-)

Thanks!

Yea! Go Band!

Yikes, they formed a Hillary and her broom!

A few years ago during high school UIL competition, a band played the William Tell Overture and had Bugs Bunny being chased by Elmer Fudd. It’s was hilarious but no one was watching the band including the judges. We were sitting in front of their box and overheard them laughing - hey, did you see how the band did? No, did you? No, I was watching the bunny. What do we do? We have to give them a 1. ;)

I love TBDBITL! Watching them take the field at the beginning of a home game is my favorite part of the game!

So what? The Iowa band can play Hey Jude and two other songs.

[Not necessarily during the same game, YMMV]
