MERRY M-GO-BLUE CHRISTMAS

Here is the famous Michigan GO BLUE Christmas Tree. I think for next year I will add some MMB stuff and make it it into a Michigan Marching Band Tree. (Somewhere I have a photo of the giant tree we used to put up in Revelli Band Hall. It wasn't blue but it had MMB stuff all over it. Need to find that for next year.)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Michigan Marching Band 2012 Crisler Concert is Happening Next Sunday!!

with special performances by the
Michigan Dance Team

and Flag Line

December 9, 2012
2:00 pm

This year the MMB performs in the University Of Michigan's "new" Crisler Center (that big round building formerly known as Crisler Arena.)



To see more, take a look at the Crisler Center Photo Gallery.

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!

OK?! Be there Sunday at 2 am at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor.

If you need to ask questions I suggest calling the band office at Revelli Hall (734) 764-0582


NOW here is the concert poster.

It would be awesome for Band Alumni to pass this around to family and people they know -- especially families with little kids. This year the concert is in the afternoon and it will end early enough that it's possible for families to drive a bit across the state and make it home before the kids' bedtime. I get the impression that the normal promotion for the concert concentrates on Ann Arbor, so getting it known in areas a bit farther away could help bring in new people -- more friends for the Band and more little guys thinking "I'm going to do that some day!"

SO, pass it on!
