During the half time show at OSU’s football game against Virginia Tech, the band played a montage of theme songs from classic television shows like _MASH_, _The Munsters_ and _Dragnet._ [Video from Lantern TV](http://thelantern.com/category/lantern-tv/ "undefined") shows band members marching in a formation that showcases iconic images from television history, like a helicopter, the Munsters’ pet hand, Thing, and even the Batmobile from the ’60s television version of the _Batman_ franchise. To make the project more appealing to the audience at the game (and not just their parents), the band also included homages to _The Office, Game of Thrones_ and _The Simpsons_, topped off with an impressive Bart Simpson skateboarding across the football field.
