Original post:

This may not be the announcement of Bayonetta 3, but I think a number of you will enjoy this. Yesterday at the Ohio State/Nebraska college (American) football game, The Ohio State University Marching Band put on a video game show. Needless to say, the crowd loved it. The show includes music from Pokémon, Tetris, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World, Halo, and Zelda, with a few extra marching formations from Space Invaders and Pac-Man.

My high school marching band didn't even make semi-finals at their most recent marching competition, lol. They normally kick everyone else's butts. Maybe they should play more vidya gaem music.

[entrement]

Holy hell. Impressive as fuck.

[ChosenPredator]

I go to this university. It's a shame I don't give a shit about football or I'd see more of the band. This shit is crazy though.

Super Mario World theme was so well done.

Even if you don't like football, being in the Horseshoe for a game is a really cool experience. I flew up a few weeks ago to watch the OSU/UCF game. Really good band and cool traditions throughout the stadium.

I wish there was a better recording of it online though, this is from early season. It's pretty cool to watch from high-cam at one of the competitions (silent audience).

[Haunted]

That level of coordination and execution was almost Chinese.

Great stuff. The horse! Goddamn.

[∀ Narayan]

Very cool.

[Iadien]

That level of coordination and execution was almost Chinese. Great stuff. The horse! Goddamn.
