Michigan Marching Band OSU Pregame - November 22, 1969

Pregame performance by the Michigan Marching Band in Ann Arbor on November 22, 1969, in advance of Michigan's "upset of the century" over Ohio State. William D. Revelli directed the band, George Cavender was assistant director, Mark Brown was drum major, and H.H. Hanson was announcer. This was the first year for the "floating Block M" by the MMB.

It is great to see this "vintage" film. I also recall going to Band-o-Rama, and Band Day, this season. YUBA and GO BLUE! MMB Flag Corps 75-77

I was there, when the crowd was only 101,001. Great victory over OSU

I was at this game and recall seeing Woody Hayes being so mad he kicked a chair around. This was one of Bo Schembechler’s earliest victories.

God Bless Charlie Widman. Without his late touchdown to beat Chicago, then Louis Elbel wouldn’t have had the inspiration to pen The Victors.
