A student marching band in the U.S has paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, with what can only be described as an absolute spectacle of a performance of Crazy Train.
Made up of students studying at The University of Oklahoma, The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band perform at all of the University's American football games, and are known for their polished performances.
During a home game against the Illinois State Redbirds at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday (August 30), the band delivered a halftime show that has gotten a bunch of praise online.
Things kicked off with a rendition of The Who’s classic Pinball Wizard, as the Pride’s insanely well-drilled members formed shapes across the field - including a fully fledged pinball machine and even the word “Wizard” spelled out in perfect precision.
Nearly three minutes in, Ozzy’s iconic “ALL ABOARD!” blasted around the stadium, before the Pride shifted formation to spell out “Ozzy” on the field.
At the same time, a baton twirler took centre stage, dancing and juggling three batons with ease while the band delivered a spot-on rendition of Ozzy's 1980 tune. Plus, around them, colour guards added to the spectacle, throwing and spinning flags in perfect sync with the music.
People online are loving the performance, with one person writing, "Being a former marching band kid this warms my heart and brings a tear to my eye. I love it!"
While another wrote, "A nice tribute to OZZY! Class act by all."
Honestly, the amount of practice they must’ve put into this performance is wild.
So awesome to see tributes of all shapes and forms are still rolling in for the Prince of Darkness.
