Michigan Marching Band Relegated to Top Rows of ND Stadium
After hearing on the radio that the band will not be allowed to play tomorrow from ND officials, looks like they may be relegated to the top rows of the stadium instead. Carl Grapetine states:
“Something will be missing. Oh, the winged helmets and the golden helmets will be on the field. The leprechaun, too. But for the first time in the 40 years that Michigan and Notre Dame have been playing, the Michigan Band will not be allowed to march its traditional pre-game show. Notre Dame said there wasn’t enough time to include the Michigan Band! And for the first time, the Michigan Band will not be seated on the sideline opposite the ND Band. They’ve been banished to the very top rows of ND Stadium. Do you know how long it will take to get 350+ band members with instruments to make their way down to the field for halftime? This is not right.”
Sorry for the poor formatting, I don't post often.

Well, when we retaliate in kind next year the ND band will have to negotiate a lot more steps. Enjoy lugging your fucking sousaphone up and down 98 rows at Michigan Stadium. Size matters.

They moved the bands to the upper part of the bowl on the southeast end. Watching other bands last year, it takes a long time to get them to the field. Yes, a crappy move.
