100-Year-Old Alumnus and Veteran Anthony Violi Will Dot the I for Alumni Band's 50th Reunion Performance

The Ohio State alumni band is reuniting for the 50th time on Saturday afternoon, and they brought out a legend to mark the occasion.

100-year-old loyal band alumnus Anthony Violi has been tabbed to dot the i in Script Ohio during the alumni band's performance during halftime of Saturday's game against Rutgers.

Violi played trumpet in the Ohio State Marching Band from 1937 to 1942, joining the band just one year after their first-ever performance of Script Ohio. Violi marched in the band's first reunion performance in 1966 and has rarely missed on since, making him the perfect choice to dot the i on Saturday.
