Rubbing Off in the 110
I’ve always been involved with marching band most of my time in school starting in 5th grade. I fell in love with it. I consider marching band an art form. The band marches in many different designs or a patterns on the field while playing music, and for the Marching 110, they perform a dance at the end. For the rubbings project, I wanted to celebrate my time here at Ohio University and give thanks to The Most Exciting Band In The Land.
The materials I was regular printer paper and charcoal. I used charcoal because I felt it would let the words stand out more with the darkness of the of the charcoal.

We both have something in common. She was criticized for her work such as the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall and The Input sculpture. She was told The Wall was insulting to the veterans and the Input sculpture is useless and is a hazard to people walking around. The Marching 110 has been criticized over the years. In 2013, the 110 was going to perform “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke, and the band was harassed and criticized for promoting rape culture and making fun of rape victims. In 2014, the Ohio State University marching band was on blasted for what the members did which including sexual harassment, hazing, etc., which then, the 110 was put on the spot light, because the university didn’t want a scandal to deal with. So basically, if the 110 would of did something that was abnormal, someone was there to see it, and the band would get criticized. The band has also been criticized for the way they perform. Traditional marching bands have a dance break like the 110 does. The band usually gets called fake and not a marching band cause the band “dances”. But whole beginning of the show, the band marches just like any other band, but the 110 dances at the end, hence why the 110 is called “The Most Exciting Band In the Land”. I wanted to talk about both of them together, because both Maya Lin and The Marching 110 have went through criticism with people and higher authority. But through the criticism, they both still do what they love despite what people
