Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Skull Session Performance Application

Indicates required field

Thank you for your interest in having your high school band perform at a future Skull Session. Skull Sessions are pregame pep rallies that take place at St. John Arena before home football games, and high school bands have the opportunity to perform beginning three hours before kickoff for approximately 45 minutes.

For consideration in future seasons, please complete the form below. Given the high volume of requests and the limited number of Skull Session opportunities in a given year, we cannot guarantee placement. We consider every band who applies, and wait times for performances may take multiple years. Communication from The Ohio State Marching Band takes place over the summer for groups being considered for that fall.
