25 Years Ago — 1987
• One of the highest honors a tuba player in the Ohio State Marching Band can have is dotting the “I” in “Script Ohio” at a home football game. Earning the right at Saturday’s game with Michigan State is senior Dan Banks, a four-year member of the OSU marching band. Banks is a 1983 graduate of Elida High School where he was a member of the band four years and a member of the golf and tennis teams.
