COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Best Damn Band In The Land gave its halftime show an "argh" rating and performed one of the most popular scores in movie history.
During halftime of the No. 2 Buckeyes’ anticipated home game against No. 5 Indiana, the marching band played the music of Hans Zimmer and company from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. "The Black Pearl", "Davy Jones", and "He's a Pirate" are just a few of the songs recognized around the globe from the multi-million dollar film franchise.

The Buckeyes marching band has at least one more halftime show left at Ohio Stadium when the the Scarlet & Gray welcome archrivals Michigan next Saturday. The Horseshoe could host another game in late-December if Ohio State is slotted to host a first round game in the College Football Playoff.
