Physical Condition of Participants<\/h4>\n
Marching and playing in the Reunion Band is a physically strenuous activity, particularly the Ramp Entrance and Script Ohio. In order to perform, we need able-bodied participants who are physically capable of OSU-style marching and playing through the Saturday morning rehearsal and game time performances. If you have recently had surgery (i.e. knee replacement), have a medical condition such as heart disease, or generally are \u201cout of shape\u201d, PLEASE REGISTER FOR HALFTIME ONLY or purchase a game ticket and enjoy the game and band performances from the stands. This may seem obvious, however, I am asking you to assess your physical condition prior to the registration deadline<\/strong>, NOT after one ramp entrance during Saturday morning rehearsal.<\/p>\nRegistration Dates<\/h4>\n\n- Mid-June:<\/strong> Registration opens.<\/li>\n
- Saturday, July 25:<\/strong> Last day to order tickets through the alumni band link.<\/li>\n
- Saturday, August 1:<\/strong> Drum Major script leads and “i”-dotters will be selected from those drum majors and eligible sousaphone players registered by 11:59 PM EDT on August 1st, 2026.<\/li>\n
- Saturday, August 15:<\/strong> Register by August 15th to be included in the Script lottery. This is also the last day to switch your marching preference or cancel your registration.<\/li>\n
- Saturday, August 29:<\/strong> Last day to register to play and march.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Game Tickets<\/h4>\n
Game tickets are no longer available for purchase through the club due to a change by OSU to electronic ticketing. The link to purchase tickets directly from athletics (price TBA) is provided on the payment confirmation page<\/strong> after your registration has been processed. Handicapped\/companion tickets can also be bought through this link. Reunion organizers will be happy to help you step through this process – please email Sara at reunion@tbdbitl.com to set up a time to talk.<\/strong><\/p>\nYou do NOT need a game ticket to march.<\/strong><\/p>\nThree Script Ohios<\/h4>\n
We will conclude the halftime performance with four FULL 192-piece Script Ohio formations (1 OSUMB; 3 Alumni). To make this happen, we need to have over 620 marching participants by the August 15th registration deadline; we will adjust the number\/size of the Scripts to the number of people registered. If more participants are registered by the deadline, a lottery will be held to fill the Script spots. Those who do not get Script spots still march full pre-game and halftime<\/span>, but play Le Reg from the sideline.<\/p>\nSchedule of Events<\/h4>\n
