Just curious... you follow every UM related accounts on social media? If so, respect! I don't hate the hussle.

I've played the Baird Carillon (as well as the North Campus bells). It's pretty awesome to see the bells up close, and to have the power to make noise across campus with just your hands and fingers. Students, if you have some piano or other musical training, take the class; it's so interesting and so much fun to play.

First visit to North Campus as a prospective undergrad the bell tower played the Star Wars theme as I was walking by (this was well before the prequels were announced, so it was not as hyped). Was pretty geeked about it and helped seal the deal.

When I was back in undergrad I always wished Burton Tower would play The Victors after wins...

You don't say?

Well at least he got the name of the freaking song right, WD. It's "The Victors". Just because the tweet included the "Hail to the" part doesn't mean you need to.

I didn't......?
The tweet embeds the description.

You can say that again!

How many schools can boast that they have TWO carillons on campus?
September 19th, 2017 at 8:03 PM ^
Seriously
September 20th, 2017 at 10:30 AM ^
If they're out there I'm sure they're boasting about it right now.

The University of Michigan and Indiana University are the only two campuses in the US with two bell towers.
That my friends, is a Snapple Fact.

The carilloneurs play it pretty frequently, especially in the fall. I used to hear it regularly when walking to class.
September 19th, 2017 at 11:20 PM ^
Yep, it's pretty common. They also hold weekly carillon concerts during certain times of the year, which I found out when I had a class in the MLB in a classroom directly adjoining the tower. Couldn't hear anything over the bells.

The Baird Carillon (the 4th heaviest in the world) is playing The Victors.
Aw man, now you've ruined it for me. All this time I was convinced it was top 3.
September 20th, 2017 at 8:21 AM ^
What if we had Michael Onwenu playing the carillon? Would that push us over the top?
September 19th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
Loud let the bells then ring!
September 20th, 2017 at 12:43 AM ^
I always thought it would be cool if the Burton Tower had its own version of the Westminster Quarters. Instead of using so many bells like in the OP, it would just be the simple melody...
At quarter after: Hail to the victors valiant
At half past: Hail to the conquering heroes
At quarter of: Hail Hail to Michigan
At the hour: The champions of the West

Are you telling me the lyric is "conquering heros"?
I've been holding my hands over my kids ears for 12 years!

This was arranged and performed by Rich G...before retirement he was one of those people that really made the Chem building function. Such a good soul and a reminder of why I love multi-talented Ann Arborites!
