Dotting the I At exactly 16 measures from the end of LeRegiment, The drum major struts out toward the top of the script, with a senior sousaphone player high-stepping a couple of paces behind. As the crowd is cheering crescendos, the drum major stops and dramatically points to the spot, and the sousaphone player assumes the post of honor, dots his or her hat and bows deeply to both sides of the stadium.

Jack Nicklaus,Woody Hayes and Bob Hope are among the select few non-band members who have had the honor of dotting the I.
