2010 Michigan Marching Band

The 2010 Michigan Marching Band season has started! (OH, it's FOOTBALL season?)

News articles and blog posts about the MMB are also starting to appear.

Here's one is about Band Week from
Ann Arbor Journal

Interesting note about "traditional" marching vs "high step". The high step used to be traditional marching and the drum and bugle corps glide step was something new. That was a while ago!

On the subject of traditions, the following blog mentions one I hadn't heard of: at the first Michigan Stadium rehearsal the new band members run in while the veteran members play The Victors. This part is at the end of the post. Before that is the tale of how the
Ann Arbor Beer Wench happened to be there.
