A world-building spectacle took over halftime of Saturday’s football game against Minnesota as The Ohio State University Marching Band transported fans into the blocky universe of Minecraft.
Fans were treated to music from “A Minecraft Movie” alongside beloved themes from the game itself, including “Minecraft Main Theme/I Feel Alive,” “Steve’s Lava Chicken” and “Zero to Hero.”
The performance brought the classic video game to life with dazzling formations such as the Minecraft logo, a chicken, dueling swords and blocks breaking apart across the field – transforming Ohio Stadium into a pixelated playground of sound and motion.
TBDBITL performed the famous Script Ohio twice, once before the game and once during halftime. The i-dotters were, respectively, Ryan Schoeff, a mechanical engineering major from Hilliard, Ohio, and Sydney Reeves, a music education major from Dublin, Ohio.
