This commemorative print shows this year's student and alumni bands in quad Script Ohio formation with a black and white inset photo from the very first Script Ohio performed October 24, 1936. Featured on the scoreboard and in the border of the print are the 75th anniversary Script Ohio logos.
The Script Ohio tradition began in 1936 when Ohio State played Indiana on October 24. Since then, of all the traditions in Ohio State’s football history, none is more widely recognized than Script Ohio, the formation performed by the Ohio State Marching Band at every home game. Script Ohio includes a revolving block “O” at the beginning, the drum major leading the curved formation of the word “Ohio,” and the “dotting of the i” by the sousaphone player.
Today only 4th or 5th year sousaphone players are eligible to dot the i. There have also been a few select honorary i dotters. Among them are legendary Ohio State coach Woody Hayes, golfer Jack Nicklaus and comedian Bob Hope.
Prints are not available unframed.
