From www.ohiostatedrummajor.com:
"Tryouts begin by candidates performing the traditional "Ramp Entrance", which involves the high strut from the north tunnel, toe touch, salute and backbend, and the goal post toss. Next, candiates perform an individual twirling routine choreographed to a selected piece of music chosen by the OSUMB Staff and performed live by members of the band in attendance at tryouts. Finally, each candidate demonstrates his or her technique with a series of five high aerial tosses."
Doing the first Ramp is 2013-14 Assistant DM Nate MacMaster.
