OK Go video, if you've not seen it, it's worth a look.

QuoteOK Go has become famous for their single-shot videos, and their treadmill video for 'Here It Goes Again' has almost 50 million views on youtube, making it one of the most popular videos ever.  Needless to say, following something so famous was gonna be hard. The most obvious way would be to dress like a high school marching band in a field and have the wind and horn section in sniper camouflage. And so that's what they did. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it

Having played marching bells and marching xylophone, I was impressed to see him go down to his knees so smoothly. Last time I went down to my knees with a xylophone strapped to my body, it was because I was falling down the stairs outside of East Central.

I went to that school...I hate to think which stairs you're talking about.  Was it the 2nd floor east exit? (Granted I went there from 82-85, so not sure when you went).

I went from 98-02. I believe that we are thinking of the same stairs. From the main hall, going out toward where the stadium is. The stairs overlooked a small courtyard with some tables for students to eat lunch outside.

Love this video. I appreciate OK Go for their creativity. They definitely know how to make watching music videos fun.

Such children, I graduated from East Central in 1970.............. only went there my senior year.   Was at McLain my sophomore and Junior years. 

I would get the floors mixed up.  I once thought I was on the 5th floor for a class.   Class started and I realized I was in the wrong class.  I was on the 4th floor.   Oooops...............  ::)

With no windows in it the place felt like a prison.  It wasn't helped by the fact that when freshmen started going to the high schools (1984 I think) the school's attendance jumped to about 2100.  I remember the east wing of floor 2 (which was actually the ground floor).  I had junior A & M History and Senior english in that wing.  It was weird.  A hall in a circle with rooms on either side of the hall, then the stairway on the east side of the wing leading out to the field (back then the stadium didn't exist; the school had a HUGE parking lot on the east side of it).  Then the industrial wing (west).  Electrical, shop, drafting was over there.  I remember Driver Ed being in the basement (floor 1) underneath that east second floor wing, but you accessed it by going out the east stairs, walking south along the building until you got to the end, then turning west and taking a door that led to a half-flight of stairs down.  The phys ed offices were down there also.
