After a perfect 15-0 season, it's time to celebrate! A new season, a new field, Ann Arbor's bicentennial, a new coach, new beverages sold in the Big House--and the MMB is taking the celebration international. As we gear up for our summer 2025 European tour, what better way to spread our joy than through music? This halftime show blends the success of the 2023-2024 season while looking at the potential for the future of Michigan Football and celebrating Band 127.
