Before each Ohio State home football game in the years before St. John Arena was built in 1956, the band gathered at old Rehearsal Hall to play a last run-through of all music for that day’s game. Rehearsal Hall was only large enough for the band and the few wives, girl friends and parents who would stop by to enjoy the music and hear any last minute announcements made before the game. These final practices were dubbed “Skull Sessions” by the band and beginning in 1955, a 33 1/3 RPM sound recording was made each year of the OSUMB music from all the Skull Sessions. These recordings, unlike the popular CD’s now available in stores, were made in very limited quantities for band members and staff only, and were never sold to the public. These recordings were more informal than the commercial recordings, and of course were often times more spirited!
