Beyoncé & Rolling Stone & the Michigan Marching Band

Perhaps we have transported to an alternate universe. Everyone including Rolling Stone had something to say about the Michigan Marching Band's Sept 7 show: Beyoncé.   Performed at halftime for U-M vs Notre Dame "Under the Lights II," the second ever U-M football night game. AND the first time in history that the lights were turned OFF for halftime. 

A description of the show and links were featured on beyonce.com

This Michigan Daily story has a lot of behind the scenes details:  "Marching Band members say Beyoncé show was one-of-a-kind".

Here is Beyoncé's intro video that played on the big screen;




The MMB video crew put this together. It's the full show starting with the press box view with closeups of Beyonce, the Michigan Dance Team and MMB dancing.



Here's another video from the crowd.




Has Rolling Stone ever mentioned marching bands before? I don't know, but even they something to say about the MMB and the Beyoncé show as the the grand finale of "10 Best College Marching Band Cover Songs"
