Script Ohio is going international come October.

The Ohio State University Marching Band will be performing at London's famed Wembley Stadium before the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars square off on Oct. 25. It is the first time the band will be making an overseas performance, according to FOX Sports' Teddy Mitrosilis.

"We're fortunate to have an international reputation thanks to shows that have gone viral on video or received widespread media attention,” Ohio State's interim band director said via CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli. "It will be a real thrill to have a chance to perform for the people of London.

"The NFL has requested a London-themed show, but left the creative elements up to us. We are planning a very special and exciting performance."

Nicknamed "The Best Damn Band in the Land," Ohio State's world-renowned ensemble is famous for marching out on the field at halftime, spelling 'O-H-I-O' while dotting the 'I' to conclude the performance. Dotting the 'I' can be an honor bestowed upon a famous alumnus or celebrity.
