| | Lansing State Journal: Commentary: Marching bands - not teams - dominate Spartan Stadium today (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | It'll be the battle of the giants, the clash of the titans, the competition of the conquerors. |
 | | Today, Spartan fans will be treated to two of the best marching bands in the country: the venerable, classic, all-brass, military-style Ohio State Marching Band vs. our own 310-piece, blow-'em-out-of -the-water Spartan Marching Band. |
 | | The Spartan band was founded in 1870 by 10 civil war veterans, and the OSU band, which calls itself The Best Damn Band In The Land, began in 1878 as a 12-piece fife and drum corps. |
