...are a fucking douche. Nice job dropping a 100% feel-good, fun-loving, student-produced "thanks-for-the-free-trip-to-Miami" appreciation piece into just another cynical example of internet assholery. You Fucking Douche.

Have a Nice Day.

edit: sorry, I forgot...go fuck yourself.

I mean yeah he totally did that but as someone who is known for way over the top responses, dayum dude, eat a few quaaludes and you'll love him in the morning. Was there a Rusty Trombone incident that makes trombonists sensitive about the matter? Should he have posted a trigger warning? Fun video, nice job, glad you guys enjoyed the trip. Looked like the experience of a lifetime. Don't let one guy's comment on an anonymous blog ruin your memory of the good times.

I'm worried about you, my friend, as it seems you're more concerned with driving home some pervert's reference to a sexual act as applied to our marching band, instead of enjoying a simple post that allows our fans and alumni to share the experience our band kids enjoyed over the holiday week. Remember, their families had to forfeit several days of a very short break to allow them to represent Michigan in Miami.

 

My initial post was simply an attempt to share the simple and straight-forward enjoyment of the MMB Trombone Section's trip to Miami supporting our football team while they played in the Orange Bowl. All the students in the MMB work their asses off to be exceptional musicians and athletes. They have to compete EVERY WEEK to EARN their place on the field representing our school. They all persevere and carry forward the meritocracy that is the MMB, and strive to perform to the standard that we all have come to expect as students and alumni.

 

Frankly, your bullshit response that references quaaludes and amplifies an earlier poster’s filthy  “rusty trombones” reference is disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourself. As a Michigan Alumnus, I hope that you are just a pretender.

 

Grow the fuck up, asshole.

 

Do you have any further questions regarding my position on this matter?

Dude chill the fuck out you clown. The guy made a joke, I didn't even say it was a funny one. Maybe you didn't study any American history in your time at UofM, I did and learned about a little thing called the First Amendment which covers the freedom of speech and his right to make a joke. You have every right to act like a spastic lunatic in response, which you've clearly exercised, so congratulations on that. Nobody, absolutely nobody demeaned or devalued the commitment of these kids or the value they add to the university experience. You're a complete nutjob and totally out of control. You're like some raving lunatic yelling at the wind that doesn't exist. But hey, to each their own.

Boatdriver - you're repeated filthy language responses have just negated any sympathy I had for you at the beginning of this post. I also thought the rusty trombone joke was not necessary but your incessant, vulgar responses are just as bad at this point. Cool video, glad you had fun. Maybe take a break from the blog for a while

So many nice reminders of the MMB bowl trip experience. The only appearances of Snickers bars for the entire season--and lots of them. The bus captain who apparently has waited their entire life to read announcements into a microphone. 4 college kids crammed into a hotel room. The unbearable whiteness of kids in bathing suits seeing sun for the first time in two months. Those two kids in every section who are really into MSalsa and take advantage of it any time they can. Having pockets full of per diem, being 21, and knowing you're not allowed to blow it at the bar.

And, most importantly: Knowing the trip itself is going to be a million times better than the game. Because that's just how it goes. And that's totally OK. Because sun and friends and such.

My Orange Bowl trip was my favorite bowl experience.  We put on a concert at a private marina in Fort Lauderdale on New Years Eve followed by a fireworks show.  The folks let us watch the fireworks from their yachts.  They also had a fountain that poured out Harvey Wallbangers.  It was quite a sight seeing a line of band members, in uniform, puking off the docks.

There was a group of us that took a cab into Miami from our Fort Lauderdale hotel.  We found a bar that had Paul Revere and the Raiders playing.  There was no cover charge, but the drinks were $10, which was a lot at the time.  We nursed our one drink for hours.  Then we found out there was a $30 surcharge for cabs leaving Miami.  We finally found a van full of stoners willing to take us back to Ft. Lauderdale.  Got back around 4AM - breakfast was at 6.  Ahh, to be young and stupid again...

That second one is giving me flashback nightmares. At 3 minutes in, you see that one of the bones is too busy fist bumping his buddies to notice that McKenna is about to tweet the band onto the field. I'm surprised he recovered in time. I know I've had nightmares of not being ready for entries when it's time to take the field.

And our band was a million times better than their band. It was actually weird. I think they only played their fight song and we played a bunch of songs.

I know the bands didn't perform at halftime because of DNCE or whatever. But anyone know the reason we didn't play the normal pregame songs? The one I really care about of course is "Let's Go Blue" It was sad not hearing "The Big Cheer from the Big House" come over the PA. For the record I enjoyed the other songs but was just curious!
