Modern Use
Though "Beautiful Ohio" was originally written as a waltz, one version of the song is a march arranged by Richard Heine. It is commonly performed by The Ohio State University Marching Band when travelling, including their appearance in the 2005 Inaugural Parade of President George W. Bush and at the 2009 Inauguration of President Barack Obama.
The original waltz version of the song is performed by the All Ohio State Fair Band (which holds shows multiple times a day during the Ohio state fair) at the beginning of every performance.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“... it must be obvious that in the agitation preceding the enactment of [protective] laws the zeal of the reformers would be second to the zeal of the highly paid night-workers who are anxious to hold their trade against an invasion of skilled women. To this sort of interference with her working life the modern woman can have but one attitude: I am not a child.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
