TBDBITL shakes Ohio Stadium at season opener

Marching band pays tribute to Earth, Wind & Fire; Archie Griffin dots i

To kick off the 2024 football season, The Ohio State University Marching Band blew through the music of Earth, Wind & Fire at the Buckeyes’ home game against the University of Akron.

The halftime show was made more special with the appearance of Archie Griffin, Ohio State legend and two-time Heisman Trophy winner. Griffin dotted the i, joining a short list of people who have done so without being TBDBITL members – including Bob Hope and Annie and John Glenn.

The band performed “Beijo,” “Let’s Groove,” “Got to Get Your Into My Life,” “Shining Star,” “September” and “Boogie Wonderland” while creating formations that included Earth, Wind & Fire’s logo and dancers.

During the band’s pregame performance, TBDBITL member Brody Hyre, a music education graduate, dotted the i.
