Michigan Marching Band Halftime Show with Wynton Marsalis and the JLCO

Just wanted to post this here for everyone. There was a board post earlier this week talking about how awesome of a halftime show this was going to be, and the MMB, the JLCO, and Wynton Marsalis definitely fulfilled their end of the bargain. As a former MMB Trumpet, this was my favorite halftime show to watch. Glad this show accompanied an absolute beat down of a top 10 PSU squad!

One of the best, most musical halftime shows during the nearly 60 years I've been attending M Stadium games.  Fabulous!  Very good changeup from the normal MMB-only shows.  Amazing to see a piano (albeit electronic) on the field!

Glad you posted this!   I was incredibly excited when they announced this and I knew I'd be coming to AA for our med school reunion.   I was a little nervous about how it was going to sound on a football field.   The JLCO and MMB knocked it out of the park.  Loved how they mixed the two bands and were able to highlight both.   I thought it was also pretty cool that most of the stadium stayed in place for half time.  Not good for concession sales but what a great environment. Go Blue!
