Michigan Marching Band Viral Video VIDEO!

MMB Photo-Video has posted the official Michigan Marching Band "Viral Video" halftime show video. It even has an inset screen with the actual videos played as part of the show!


For a closer view from the end-zone (and hear what members of the audience are saying about the show) see this one from joshsko.


Finally, enjoy the music again in this video of the post-game show.

PS geeksaresexy.net mentioned the MMB Viral Video show. The post ended with: "And kudos to whoever composed the arrangements of these recognizable tunes!" (The "whoever" was John W. Stout.)

To which I add:


You should go to see the Michigan Band at Crisler Arena because:

1. No football traffic!

2. You can sit right in front the the band and get the full impact of over 200 brass, woodwind and percussion instruments, LIVE!

3. You can take kids of ANY age to see this show. Really! No child has been born who can make noise louder than the Michigan Marching Band plays. And, kids love the band. Bring a carload of kids (your kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, neighbors!) and they will remember this forever.

4. It's fun!

5. The Drum Line!

6. The Flags!

7. The Twirlers!

8. Sing the Victors as loud as you want!

9. Hear all the music you missed because you weren't at the game

10. Last chance this year!

This Week's MMB Halftime: "Viral Video"

In the 1970's, Michigan Marching Band director, George Cavender was fond of saying: "It's never been done before!" I wonder what he would say about this show MMB will be performing Saturday at the UM vs Nebraska game!

From the Michigan Marching Band e-newsletter Nov 17, 2011

“Heeeyyyy… Chaaaarlie……!”

Have your friends said this to each other, but neither of them is named Charlie? Have you heard a stranger sobbing about seeing a double rainbow on a sunny day? Do your kids dance around the house shouting about ‘double dream hands,’ but you wonder what they could possibly mean?

The MMB has selected the most popular viral videos to feature in Saturday's show, each of which have been viewed by tens-of-millions or even hundreds-of-millions of people.

The MMB is prepared to teach you to dance “Double Dream Hands.” They will play along with some of the most popular viral music videos like “The Gummy Bear Song,” “Trololo,” and “Double Rainbow.”

By integrating video clips, creative formations, dancing, and music, the MMB will make sure you are up to speed with your friends and neighbors, and maybe even able to teach them a thing or two! Make sure not to miss Saturday’s educational and highly entertaining halftime show
