Back when the Michigan Band wasn’t afraid to play loud

Honestly LOVE the old MMB. Wish we could bring some of the stuff back like the blues for pregame

To fellow Wisconsin- ites, what do you think of playing Michigan every year in Football and Notre Dame as well. Plus the addition of the Iowa State Cyclones. Seeing Iowa and Iowa State together especially for Wrestling will be incredible. Football as well.

To the Young Ladies I met over the month of January - One from Switzerland and the Other 1 from Italy. I finally figured out it wasn't a Chateau I was referring to but a Chalet Style Home.

Hello. What song is this? Thanks

oh my stars - I took the attendance every rehearsal. To see those faces! Recognized every single one! I was a senior. I cannot believe I remembered some names. I got serious CHILLS. I haven't seen this in decades. Wow. What a Blast from the Past. My senior year. Business Mgr #141 Picc Oh the dreams I'll have tonight - Rose Bowl - getting cued by the Tubas because I missed all the rehearsals. sigh. Same dream. Every.time.

May Christ and the Right always prevail.

This montage is from the fall of 1984. 1983 was my last season (percussion section leader) and I am not in this video.

It's the beehive formation! Awesome stuff, GO BLUE!!

Baaaaaaand…… TOOK the fucking field! Wow! that was beautiful! Including the sugary smooth movement! Thanks MMB! I saw you at every home game that year as usual but never saw this until now even though I knew it happened back then and even tho I was in the Silverdome twice that year to see the beloved Panthers beat scum Trump & scum Herschel Walker & the New Jersey Generals and beat the Invaders in the playoff game! AC AC AC!!!!! I shot for The Football Guide for 3 yrs from ‘97-‘99 I think, and my best work was always my artistic & even abstract shots of the band from around you in the stands when you were in your seats and on the field when you were on the field In fact, it was because of trying to get some better shots of you at half time down in South Bend, from the stands, that I ended up shooting from on the field for the first time, at ND stadium, that tiny replica of Meeechigan Stadium! I’ll come back and tell that story soon!

RIP Sich! 😢 Cue the Faceoff Man! ✨🙏💖

I love this! I was born in '87 and raised a Wolverines fan. (My dad went to U of M from '70-'72.)

very cool to watch as a current member of the mmb, lots of things have changed in the pregame!!!

They used to put a lot more air through the horns back then.

Such power from TMMB. Gotta love the energy of the lock-at-the-top! YUBA and always GOOOOOOO BLUUUUUE!

Blues brothers 🥰🥰🥰

The performance was during halftime of the Dec 5, 1983 game at the Pontiac Silverdome with the Minnesota Vikings. The Lions actually won that game, 13-2, and Howard Cosell, in his final season with MNF, had to stop talking during the end of that song when the band turned backed towards the press box and played the finale at an amazingly loud volume - the Silverdome was too loud for him to continue!

I was at the Big House for that game - Go Blue. Go Michigan Band!

I marched with western 09-11... Just gotta say, that combined sound have be goosebumps. Great performance by both bands

At 3:00 minutes, exactly, you can see that a program fell from a clarinetist's pants. He bought the program right before the game and shoved it in his pants. It fell onto the field at the 3:00 mark and was captured on camera. LEGENDARY.

I'm the trombone coming at you during The Victors exit, FYI... 40 years ago. Wow, I'm old...

Blues still exist here in 2020 but I get your point! 1st edit: mgo blues

Damn if audio capture devices were better back then omggggg. This feels like a different time in the big house.

I wish there were more of these montages. From the early 80s

How many of you can say that the Michigan Marching Band copped your stuff? See Rocky Meets Moose by The Brass Band released in 1980. No problems. We're kind of honored. BTW: Whoever pulled the arrangement off our record did a really good job. They pretty much got it all except for the Piccolini Trumpet part. Understandable since there is only one Piccolini Trumpet in the world. Guess who owns it?

This was a band I can respect and fear!!! Nowadays...not so much. They've gone soft.

I've had the pleasure of meeting the drum major for michigan that year. now i wish i could just fund a block m from that year!

This was when my dad was 11 and soon he was in a michigan halftime show in 1997. Go Blue!

The guy's lyre falls off at 3:00 right before it cuts lol

Say, that wasn't the SPARTAN BAND, sitting on sideline and getting in the way as, the MMB came off the field? The Spartan, HAS A HABIT of marching in to other bands side of the field, sometimes!

The first bands I ever saw was at the Silverdome, in 1980 and it was Central Michigan's band. And I thought, man it would be nice to see the Michigan Band .The next time I came back to a Lions game, BOOM, there was the Michigan Marching Band, the BLOCK M, and HAIL TO THE VICTORS, and I was all excited, and couldn't share it with anybody! That was the first time I sang THE VICTORS WITH THE BAND! And let me tell you, IT WAS HARD for any band to sound good in that dome, but they did!

NOW THAT WAS A PREGAME SHOW! Thank you Eric Becker and MMB of 83!

To this day, THIS IS THE GREATEST VERSION of the Pregame Victors EVER CAPTURED on film. I know, because from 1988 to 2001, I took my camera into the Big House and tried to film it, but never got it that good! And not even the tons of video from today or it's cellphones, or even from the MMB itself, has captured it THAT GOOD! This version is from what all people filming this great band and song, STRIVE TO MATCH or even surpass! And by the way, when they got to the CIRCLE M formation, they turn it and march down the field, to the VICTORS. And High Stepping it, STILL MAKES IT LOOK BETTER, than the march style of today!

What was the name of the second song?

And you have only beat Ohio State twice in the last 16 seasons!!! Enough Said!! But I do LOOVVVEE the MMB...the original version. To me, this version of MMB..is soft. They need to get back to who they are.

It was the 84/5 season. I think the 83 Lions game was the Monday Night Football game where the MMB played Russian Christmas Music and blew the roof off the Silverdome.

I still love this video. Look at how pure their B1G high step was. Absolutely class.

Thanks for posting this, but I'm pretty sure this was 1988. I was in this and I didn't join MMB until 1987.

Love seeing old school Carl and John Stout

Band should do more of these kind of dance,,,,

My old rank leader Tony Boden at 3:45

Interesting. The Blues Brothers, but without the birthday cake formation. I guess that came a few years later.

Go Bones! WOW!

Pete was the loudest sousaphone of us all!

MICHIGAN has the MOST WINS, MOST CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, MOST FAMOUS FIGHT SONG, MOST ICONIC HELMETS; NO WONDER PEOPLE HATE MICHIGAN!😀

Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed

that was so powerful!

Love it

I am living for the day when you come to the University of Maryland!!

Thanks to a few emails over the years from me, the band did put the HIGH STEP back in for a portion of the pregame in the early 2000's. Ironman, I Want You Back, and a few more things like playing to the crowd in the stands, were my suggestions, but the rest is all Michigan. They have great directors now, and great kids marching, and they have once again made this band GREAT. I still wish for a full HIGH STEP pregame, but they everything else is okay with me. GO BLUE!
