LOVELAND, OHIO - Brian Thompson (LHS 2001) will be dotting the "I" at the Ohio State/Michigan (Nov 20) football games. Brian is in his fourth year at Ohio State, majoring in Engineering. He is the son of Tom and Sharon Thompson of Loveland.
The familiar kick, turn, and bow by the sousaphone player at the top of the "i" is a 60 year tradition. The honor of dotting the "i" is known throughout the world and sometimes receives great media attention.
Ohio State describes it as, "The most memorable tradition in college band history--The Incomparable SCRIPT OHIO!"
"With that introduction, a three-and-a-half minute, single-file trek begins for the 192-piece OSUMB as the band files into the "Script" Ohio formation."
