On September 21, 2013 the only blind
marching band once again performed
a halftime show during a football
game. However this time it was a bit
different. Normally the Ohio State
School for the Blind (OSSB) Marching
Band performs halftime shows for the
Ohio School for the deaf. However
this particular Saturday they marched
a half-time show with The Ohio State
University Marching Band (OSUMB)
at the "The Shoe" during the halftime
show for The Ohio State University
Buckeyes versus the Florida A&M Rattlers football game. The famous "Script Ohio" was performed as usual each Saturday. However this
particular Saturday it looked a little different. A
double O-H-I-O was created on the field; one in
script by OSUMB and one in braille by OSSB.

Cary Saxton was on the field during this historic event in the history of "Buckeye Nation".
