TBDBITL did something during halftime it had never done before while playing Shrek music

The Ohio State Marching Band did something it had never done in its history during halftime of the Rutgers game.

Due to the unusual schedule that saw Ohio State play five consecutive home games to start the 2022 season, the band played five straight halftime shows and had five new shows during each game.

That had never been done by the band before.

The last time Ohio State played five home games in five weeks was in 2003, but the band did not perform in five straight halftime shows.

So far, here are what the themes have been:

• Ohio State vs. Notre Dame: "Jazz Café"

• Ohio State vs. Arkansas State: "Stadium Karaoke"

• Ohio State vs. Toledo: "Ohio Stadium Top 10"

• Ohio State vs, Wisconsin: "Grease."

To mark the occasion, the band had a performance with layers, like an onion, when it performed the music from "Shrek!" The classic animated movie inspired the TBDBITL's formations while it played these songs:

• "All Star"

• "Bad Reputation"

• "Livin’ La Vida Loca"

• "I’m On My Way"

• "Holding Out for a Hero"

• "I’m a Believer"

• "Le Régiment | Script Ohio"
