University of Michigan Bands

University of Michigan Bands Go Blue! 〽️ The University of Michigan Bands are among the finest and most historic collegiate ensembles in the nation. Revelli and H. Robert Reynolds.

Begun in 1897, the University of Michigan Bands include five symphonic ensembles (), the Michigan Marching Band (), and several other athletic ensembles. Consisting of five symphonic ensembles (for both music majors and non-majors), the Michigan Marching Band, and several athletic ensembles, the Michigan Band program has been a central part of the remarkable artistic identity

and vibrant spirit of the University of Michigan since its establishment in 1897. Giving over one hundred public performances each year and playing for hundreds of thousands of alumni, students, and fans of wind music throughout the world, Michigan Bands are defined by the exceptional standard established by legendary directors, including William D. That unique legacy was further enhanced by Michael Haithcock and is now carried on by Jason Fettig. The Michigan Marching Band has cultivated an international reputation for creative and exhilarating field shows at the Big House and beyond. Its world renown is shared by the historic Symphony Band and Concert Band, ensembles that have remained at the forefront of exceptional performances and recordings of the finest works for winds, along with a robust tradition of bringing new music into the canon. This page will celebrate the entire scope of the University of Michigan Bands—the music, the people, and the history—and will allow people all over the globe to follow along as the innovative next chapter of this storied program unfolds. Thank you for following and Go Blue!
