We’re big fans of this mob and this routine, which was inspired by all things space and intergalactic, and it’s as good as anything they’ve done previously, if not better.

The routine features music from Star Trek, Apollo 13, Armageddon, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Independence Day. It’s a phenomenal sight to behold and must take hours of practise to master.

They’ve dabbled in rock, TV theme tunes and Hollywood blockbusters in the past, but this could be their best so far from the Ohio State marching band.

At this stage, it has to be as much of a draw to the crowd as the match itself, given the entertainment they provide. The Garda band at the Aviva have a bit of work to do to match this for sheer entertainment…
