MMB at Citrus Bowl - Game Day Video

Nice video put together by the Michigan Band Video crew.

They finally did it! Michigan Marching Band on Ice!

The Michigan Hockey Pep Band normally sits in the stands. For the first time the band made it down to the ICE. (But not on skates - how to do that is not yet worked out.)

This group is billed as the Michigan Marching Band and they do march and the drum major is there and even did the backbend. 

"Lets Go Blue" Links

Michigan Today has a story about "Lets Go Blue" that is worth reading (and listening - it includes a podcast with Albert Ahronheim!)

I made some comments on Michigan Today and posted some related things in other places, but I am too busy and/or lazy to  repeat them here, so for now here are the links:

Getty images has an amazing photo of an MMB drum line guy playing his quad drums while hanging upside down! I put it in my "Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue" blog and you should go there to see the MMB photographs.

Also, don't miss  Maize and Blue donuts and the Birth of "The Yellow and Blue".
