The Ohio State University Marching Band (TBDBITL)



But unlike the football team that afternoon, when he fell flat on his face, he got right back up and bounced back immediatley.

“It was like you were going down the stairs, but it’s dark and you don’t know where the bottom step is and you want to keep going down more steps but there’s level ground there,” Bowman said. “That’s basically what happened, and I just lost my balance and kept flying forward.”

“After something like that happened that probably everyone is going to see at some point, it feels good to know that I didn’t let it faze me and I was able to carry on and push through and drive like we’re supposed to,” he said. “Getting up, I was thinking, I’ve always heard it’s not what happens to you that defines you, it’s how you respond to things that happen to you and the relationships you can build.”

He credited motivational speaker Tim Kight and his “E+R=O” (events plus response equals outcome) equation, often cited by former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer, as helping shape that belief. From there, it was the support of his fellow bandmates that enabled him to persevere. Asked how many people had reached out with support, Bowman said he couldn’t come up with a number.

“A lot of people,” he said. “Band people, people from home supporting me: ‘Hey, we know that happens, but you got up so fast and pushed through and had a great performance afterwards.’ I’m very appreciative to be in the organization I’m in in the band and to have all of these people behind me.”
