Band not going to Alabama game
Saw this on Twitter. Can anyone in the band confirm? Would be awful if true.
So, the @umichband won't be traveling to Dallas for the "home game" against Alabama? That's completely unacceptable @DaveBrandonAD.
EDIT: Now confirmed. What a joke.

Alabama's band, though, will be on hand at Cowboy Stadium. Members of the MMB that I've heard from are none too happy with the decision.
The Michigan Marching Band has been informed by the Athletic Department that it will not be travelling to Dallas for Michigan/Alabama.

Looks like an opportunity for another MMB (Major Michigan Benefactor) to step up and send the band.
