Every year, the Ohio State invites The Best Damn Band in the Land to the Woody to kick off rivalry week, and every year it leads to some fantastic moments.
This time, it was true freshman offensive lineman Dawand Jones who stole the show, as the biggest player on the team hopped right up on the conductor's platform and led the TBDBITL in Across the Field.

Big Thanos also got to hang out with his newest biggest fans, who named their temporary row mascot after him – Da Wand.

But Dawand wasn't the only one getting in on the fun. Justin Fields tried his hand at cymbals, Zach Harrison picked up a trombone and Chris Olave took up a trumpet.
One of our favorite traditions of Rivalry Week

Jahsen Wint tried his hand at conducting as well, and he was even energetic than Dawand.
And perhaps most impressively, Luke Farrell put his chops on display with the snare drum and a cymbal.

It's one of the most fun traditions of rivalry week, but so is beating Michigan. And we're now inside of a week until kickoff.
