Michigan Marching Band
On our lists
4th seed, Midwest Regional
Number 3
The Michigan Marching Band has the distinction of being able to perform one of the most, if not the most widely-recognizable fight songs in all of the country at every UofM football game. Rich in tradition, the Michigan Marching Band was actually the first to perform the traditional "Script Ohio" for which their primary rival, The Ohio State University Marching Band is known for. Their signature high-energy performances are highlighted by the traditional back-bend of their drum major and the playing of "The Victors". In a tradition dating back to 1985, the Otis Redding hit "Can't Turn You Loose" is played once per season in a special formation which brings the crowd to their feet every time.
Number 10
Having seen the Michigan Marching Band in person on many occasions, I can tell you that this is a group which is rich in tradition with one of the most recognizable fight songs in the history of college athletics. Ironically, it was the MMB who performed the first "Script Ohio" which their rivals at Ohio State are well known for.
