The musicality, sonority, and balance of the band is very good, but the "Michigan sound" isn't there ...<BR/><BR/>Can't help but think that there is much more volume available from this group before they start sacrificing quality ... not that volume is all-important but I do believe that you need to bring it to make your musical points.Al McCordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775281492266717068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-23609230120795232182007-11-11T14:03:00.000-05:002007-11-11T14:03:00.000-05:00ooh, do I sense some discontent among the ranks of...ooh, do I sense some discontent among the ranks of the MMB?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-79526596071026484492007-11-09T13:25:00.000-05:002007-11-09T13:25:00.000-05:00We're quiet because we're told -not- to play loud....We're quiet because we're told -not- to play loud.<BR/><BR/>I've never been in a marching band situation where I was asked to play mp at any point. And it's especially ridiculous when we're asked to play quietly during the Victors during pregame.<BR/><BR/>Remember when we used to play things fast and loud? Yeah, not anymore.<BR/><BR/>I would also point out that our next show's arrangements, two selections from Cirque de Soleil, were previously done in part or in whole by both the Madison Scouts and the EMU marching band.

He almost took out 2-3 other people. Lost his drum. I'm still looking for a YouTube clip of this. If you find it, it's certainly worth posting.<BR/><BR/>I knew then that the football gods were smiling on U-M.<BR/><BR/>GO BLUE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-71374758433007959782007-11-07T14:40:00.000-05:002007-11-07T14:40:00.000-05:00The MMB played the Modern Broadway show, the same ...The MMB played the Modern Broadway show, the same one they played at Minnesota last week. It looked quite good, as all 2-week shows should. Lots of sets that looked like Red Wings logos. They have a great sound this year. It has always sounded quieter though. There are brief glimpses of the power they can output and these are infrequent. More damn sound! This is probably exaggerated in contrast to MSU's all-brass band, since you can't hear woodwinds anyway.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117896432653125563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35971090.post-88285287209658113892007-11-07T14:35:00.000-05:002007-11-07T14:35:00.000-05:00No review of the MMB?
