Found this "blast from the past" online. It is awesome .....TBDBITL ...Band members work hard and deserve a lot of credit. 

The Ohio State University Marching Band played “Hang on Sloopy” on Oct. 9, 1965 – one week after The McCoys’ version hit No. 1 on the pop charts. The band’s halftime show that day was honoring the arts, and they formed a ballerina while playing Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” before dancing Watusi-style and playing “Hang on Sloopy.” Director Charles “Charlie” Spohn said that the juxtaposition would amuse the crowds in Ohio Stadium, never realizing it would become a tradition at Ohio State.
