concert music.

made up of faculty, students and
townspeople. 'The Union presents
four concerts each year: two per-
formances of Handel's "Messiah"
at Christmastime and two choral
works with the Philadelphia Sym.
phony Orchestra during the May
Festival.

'U' Band Features Precision, Speed

The fast - stepping Michigan
Marching Band will move onto
the football field within a few
weeks in a sparkling display of
the precision drill work and musi-
cianship which has brought the
organization fame and high re-
spect throughout the nation.
Students and thousands of oth-
er loyal fans will again be treat-
ed with an afternoon of intricate
formations and inspiring playing
as the band opens a new year of
typically credible accomplishment
in the realm of University musi-
cal presentation.
* * *
THE MARCHING BAND is but
one of the high-calibre student in-
strumental rgusic groups which
perform here'inder the able baton
of Prof. William Revelli.

Though perhaps less spectac-
ular, the Michigan Symphony
Band, which takes over the spot-
light after the end of the'foot-
ball season, is of comparable
musical stature and its concerts
in Ann Arbor and elsewhere
have thrilled thousands.
Augmenting the two top-rank-
ing groups is the Varsity Band
which performs at several con-
certs and at home basketball
games.
The Varsity Band's emphasis,
however, is on experience rather
than actual performance as it
serves as a training ground for
students working their way into
the Symphony and Marching
bands.
The University's bands function
as extra-curricular activities un-

der direction of members of
Music School faculty.
