Ohio State University marching band’s patriotic tribute to the Gettysburg Address

The Ohio State University Marching Band has made headlines recently with some of its performances, most notably its routine that paid tribute to Michael Jackson and featured an on-field display of the king of pop’s moonwalking.

This weekend, the band went in a more patriotic direction, with its amazing marching rendition of the Gettysburg Address – this after a week that marked the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s famous speech.

The performance has everything – marching soldiers, horses, a stunning display of the Lincoln Memorial, and even the firing of a cannon, mixed in with some more somber moments.  It all builds up to a moving conclusion (which I won’t spoil for you here), as the crowd erupts in applause and cheers.
