Somehow YYZ here didn't sound as rich musically. Not enough instruments, I guess.  

[1-0-0-1-0-0-1]

They skipped the cool tricky unison run before YYZ's main riff, but I guess trying to get a thousand players to play that in perfect sync is asking a bit much. Still, nicely done.

Ohio State is the gold standard so far.

tSoR was definitely the better of the two.

Or,

How cool that the marching band chose these tracks from decades earlier and brought them to life in a different way? I thought it was great.

And honestly, I find it bit giggly watching all the white shoes march around in unison, what a lot of work. So nice to see after all these years!

Other than the pronunciation issue, I really like this one.
