Bill Crane 3 40th Anniversary Reunion 1969 University of Michigan Marching Band Is your name on this list? (See the next page) If so, you are invited to come back “home” to Ann Arbor th on September 26, 2009 for a special 40 Anniversary Reunion of the 1969 University of Michigan Marching Band. For many reasons, 1969 was a special year for the Michigan Band. It was Bo Schembechler’s first year as Michigan’s head football coach, and we witnessed the beginning of the era of Michigan football dominance in the Big Ten when the Wolverines upset “The Team of the Century”, the Buckeyes of OSU. It was in 1969 when Drum Major, Mark Brown, began the tradition of the back bend now part of every Michigan Band pre- game. The “Peace Show” was a dramatic statement that was seen on national TV during the height of the Vietnam War which resulted in over 4,000 letters and telegrams sent from across the country. The tradition of the pre-game “floating” Block M began 40 years ago. And, we all have memories of the ‘70 Rose Bowl. These and many more Michigan Band “firsts” made the ’69 Marching Band one of the most exciting in Michigan Band history. Of course, at the time, none of this seemed significant as we were just trying to survive the everyday demands of William Revelli and George Cavender! This year, on September 26, a special day is being planned for all the members of the great Michigan Marching Band of 1969.

  • Butler and Ohio State Were Dueling It out in Overtime in Columbus
    The Michigan Full Court Press Volume VII Issue IV The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 26 November 2005 On the crowd... "They were our sixth man. They really helped us out. If it wasn't for them, I don't know. They really gave Illinois a tough time, and they really pumped us up, so it was great for them to be there." -Courtney Sims, 2/8/05 Maize Ragers, welcome back to Crisler for some post-Thanksgiving Michigan basketball! Today, the Maize and Blue return home from their first road trip of the young season. And it was a successful one, as Lester Abram and Daniel Horton led the Wolverines to a 51-46 victory over our nemesis Boston University. The importance of this win cannot be overlooked – it may have come against a mid-major team that we were supposed to beat, but it is still a big non-conference road win that should boost the team’s confidence. Boston U. could very well end up in the NCAA Tournament when all is said and done. Meanwhile, as Michigan was putting the finishing touches on the Terriers, Butler and Ohio State were dueling it out in overtime in Columbus. Butler ended up falling 79-69 to the Buckeyes, but they showed that they can play with anyone in the Big Ten, even on the road. Let’s be sure to show the team all the support we can today, even though most students are gone on break. Have fun today, enjoy the rest of break, and Go Blue!
