The Ohio State Marching Band wowed audiences again this week with an incredible blockbuster film tribute performance.

Highlights include “Superman” at 1:20,”The Lord of the Rings” at 2:20, and “Harry Potter” at 4:59, but the real treats pop up in the second half.

Around the video’s six minute mark, “Jurassic Park” comes on and the band transforms into a giant T-Rex that prowls downfield and actually eats one of its own band members.

Then at 7:47, the band uses fireworks to recreate a battle between two ships for “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

Totally awesome. John Williams would be proud.

One reply on “The Ohio State University Marching Band Transformed into a Prowling T-Rex and Ate Someone”

  1. Their only real competition is themselves. Every time I see them do something amazing, I think to myself that there is no way anyone can top that. Then, a little while later, the OSU marching band makes me eat my words when they out-do themselves. All I can say is, they are crazy good.
