Many marching band innovations were first tried and developed at Ohio State. Among them are: floating and animated formations, measured step marching, script writing, and the fast cadence with a high knee lift. Brass instruments especially designed for marching bands were also first used at Ohio State. The Ohio State University Marching Band has gained acclaim having been honored with the Sudler Trophy and saluted by USA Today. It is this rich tradition upon which the band has established what many experts agree is its trend setting foothold in the modern marching band arena.
