The Ohio State marching band is known for its incredible halftime performances during its home football games but on Tuesday is got acknowledged by a surprise fan.
The Buckeyes band put together a remarkable tribute to the 80s classic movie Top Gunon Nov. 13 during halftime against Purdue and the star of the movie, Tom Cruise, decided to write the group a letter.
“Dear band, the Top Gun tribute was fantastic. What a phenomenal performance, thank you so much,” Cruise wrote. “I'd love for you all to be my guest for a special screening of Top Gun: Maverick in Columbus this spring and best of luck to the Ohio State University in the Rose Bowl.
