The Michigan Marching Band
kes the spotlight for the first
ight weeks of each fall semester.
nder the direction of Prof. Wil-
am Revelli, the band has estab-
shed a reputation of unusually
ne playing, precision marching
id intricate dance steps, forma-
ons and gridiron productions.
The practice that the band
.embers go through requires
tough steps to equal the distance
a little over once around the
orld. The 170 band members
end about seven hours drilling
n each show and manage to lose
)0 pounds in eight weeks.
Director Since 1935
Prof. Revelli assumed the duties
director of University Bands in
35. The band performs at all
ome football games and also ac-
Dmnpenies the team on out of
wn games.
With the close of the football
iason the University Symphony
and takes over the spotlight.
The Symphony Band requires a
igh degree of musical proficiency,
nce members read and perform
he finest of symphonic literature.
ften the band premiers new
orks for a composer under his
rection.
The spring tour climaxes each
rmphony season. Band members
iceive a real exposure to "being
n the road."

VISUAL-The Marching Band's stock-in-trade is precision, in both music'and marching. Forma-
tions, worked out beforehand in detail, still require perfectly coordinated movements by the members
themselves, so that even an unconscious turn of the head might harm a display. The Liberty Bell,
above, is one example of things done right.
Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia Aca-
demy of Music, and Symphony
Hall in Boston during recent
years. Students have gained pro-
fessional training and experience
on the concert stage.
The third part of the University
Band lineup is the Wolverine
Band. The Wolverines Band's ac-
tivities center around extra cur-
ricular campus functions such as
basketball games and local pa-
rades. The Band takes over the
marching role of the Marching
Band at the close of the latter's
season,
Primarily for students without
the proficiency to qualify for the
Symphony Band or for those who
cannot devote the time required
for participation in the other
bands, the Wolverine Band is di-
rected by Prof. George R. Caven-
der, assistant director of Univer-
sity Bands.
Training Ground
University Bands, according to
Prof. Revelli, are to encourage
student talent and serve as a val-
uable training ground for future
music educators.
Actual practice in organization,
training and presentation provide
)articipants with experience in
music education, culture and art-
istry.

. . AND AUDITORY-Some Marching Bands are mainly bands;
some are mainly marchers. Michigan's pride is that it is both, a
living proof that men marching double-time can still produce a
fine, crisp concert.
