First Halfitme Show for 2011 Season? MMB does MTV

From the Michigan Marching Band e-newsletter Sept 1 2011:

THE SHOW

A new coach and a new Drum Major aren't all that’s changed in Michigan Stadium; two incredible LED video boards have also been installed at each end zone. They're 85 feet wide which is 40-percent larger than the previous screens. What better way to highlight them than by tying music and video together in the 1st halftime show?

This Saturday the MMB presents "MTV's Greatest Hits." On August 1, 1981 MTV (The Music Television Station) was launched. The original purpose of the channel was to play only music videos, but this pioneering cable network launched a whole new entertainment medium, and the halftime performance will cover three decades of music, from "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits, "Take On Me" by A-ha, "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel, "Addicted To Love" by Robert Palmer, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Vogue" by Madonna, and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. You’ve probably never heard Madonna and Nirvana in the same tune, but MMB Director and music arranger Professor Scott Boerma dares to push the envelope for such an adventurous and wide-ranging show like the one you will see on Saturday.
