Michigan Marching Band: Family Guy

[AleesaDellaRobbia]

We practice in our parking lot but they messed up ALL the lines so it throws us off. xD So we used the practice foot ball field. e_e

[Codack68]

just when i thought michigan had done it all... wow. that was awesome. i particularly love the visual where you guys hold your knees and go "aah!"... absolutely fantastic. it's one thing to play the music, but it's another to actually incorporate part of the TV show into your guys' drill. i think The Michigan Marching Band is my new favorite. Bravo you guys, bravo.

[sweetflip12]

way to tune

[sunnyangel96]

im soo jealous of their practice "field" :( we has an empty field next to the stadium that we have to paint lines on..and it sucks.especially when we have to hold a move and you're standing in ants..if you move you're given pushups.our director doesnt care if you're dying. just for gods sake DONT MOVE

[EnchantedMagician]

yalls band r awsome

[0AcaStarPella0]

It took everyone a good three seconds to realize what they were doing at the end. lol

[espbmx95]

i love the ending!

[BooYaVids]

press 8 every second and a half

[alexakapimpshoes]

lol i like when they grab there knee that the ahhh ahh part in family guy XD

[RegiFilms]

how many songs does an average player have to learn a year

[heathrown]

@RegiFilms There's usually 3 songs per home game, so about 21 of those. There are also traditional songs (like The Victors!) and stands music to memorize as well.

[4everPandaLover]

@heathrown omgg! We know the victorss(: It's pretty easy to learn!! ahaa

[therandomexample]

@heathrown Jesus.. Bet you had fun learning three new songs every week..

[heathrown]

@therandomexample I was terrible at memorization! Spent *way* more time on that than on any other class

[TheEnigmaticTyro]

1:11 - 1:28...that was cool!

[Msilikenachos]

lol! the shhhh! haaaaaa! shhhhhhh! haaaaah! part was clever and hilarious

[mikhailkost]

I really hope they are supposed to be marching bent leg.

[princessworld1291]

wow the knee part was halairious

[KatyHeselton]

are they marching on a concret foot ball field...lol

[heathrown]

@KatyHeselton Yes, that is our practice field (and in the offseason, parking lot) :)

[BlackSapphireSkull]

@heathrown Thats pretty snazzy we have to use another field w/ the football players and they paint the lines on it and they get way off where the lines should go plus bye the end of each week the paint wears off the grass and huge holes cause they tear up the field all the time

[heathrown]

@BlackSapphireSkull Sounds a little like our reserve field...no shortage of hidden holes and sometimes no lines. Thankfully no football players though!

[LaraAndAlyssa]

@KatyHeselton I do Marching Band. Its the parking Lot just so you know.

[KatyHeselton]

@LaraAndAlyssa

sweet what do you play?

[pattm12]

@KatyHeselton its a practice field. at my high school, we practice on a grass field next to the middle school. by the end of the season, it is just a dirt field. i am guessing that is why they have a concrete practice field.

[Avicus654]

Eh, could've rolled your feet a bit more, and some people need to work on their slides, maybe i'm just that good....sounds awesome though :)

[saxophoneplayer213]

ok thats really good the best part was at 1:15 what was your theme that year

[heathrown]

@saxophoneplayer213 That week was called Animation Domination and went with the Simpsons and music from the South Park movie

[SojoboTengufan]

Great glidestep! and sweet song lol

[kaykayboy23]

AAAAAAAHHHH sssssssssss Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh sssssssssssssss aaaaaaaaaahhhhh ssssssss -fanfare- nice

[MJtwilight7]

Really good! Wish we could play this

[spelle991]

these guys / girls r awwsome!!:D im gonna tell my band teacher to play smooth criminal

[jinkerGM]

Not bad, but not The Best Damn Band in the Land either :D

[starkitty93]

ahhhh that was hilarious! ahhhh! i just remembered that was same thing Petter did in an episode

[SouthParkMan15]

Wow you guys are good but some of you weren't together marking time....

[alextamuk]

:25 shako... EPIC FAIL

[asu05tbone]

lol. the part where peter hurt his knee was funny. lol. but how do you all keep your Adrenalin up while marching like that? not a critic at all its a serious question... its just  so less physical demanding than show bands. love you guys sound tho!

[heathrown]

The stadium itself doesn't hurt with over 107,000 people! Pregame show is demanding enough that I really enjoy the low marching!

[sbec85]

@asu05tbone- It includes a lot of practice, my marching band used to practice 3 times a week, and compete and perform 2-3 times a week. Adrenaline has nothing to do with marching, it's just a matter of practice practice practice.

[asu05tbone]

@sbec85 dude no disrespect but my band practice at least 5 times a week from4pm-2am sometimes no kidding. it comes from somewhere. maybe like the other said maybe the stadium.

[deebee190]

Cannot believe I didn't comment on this last time. I love this :] haha. Like I said on a ton of our Michigan videos. This band is a BIG reason to why I'm applying there :D

[heathrown]

Cliched it for me too ;). Practice hard and you can make it in!

[deebee190]

@heathrown Hahaha, will do!

[starkitty93]

ROCK ON DUDE!

[Ravenlikestodrum]

[HonzTV]

[shortbus131]

[evfanandsuch]

haha, thats so cool!

[drummer817]

why diss this at all the ending is too creative to dis. Yeah some timing was off but it was still great and gave me a good chuckle too.

[sirkeegancs3]

[pacmansam2]

[redwolf95037]

This is an awesome vid!!!

[ajbbold]

petoskey owns u

[SnarlyCharly44]

sssssss..... ahhh!!!!!! lol

[neopetluv123]

good marching but a little sloppy but other than tht u gotz it

[bradtaylor32]

This is pretty rough...maybe it's just a cold first run-through...? :-/

[mshsbgu]

Well, My High School did this for Marching Band. Trumpets were the melody, and I have to say that it sounded ten times better [Maybe not as well put together, but I think it sounded better with the Trumpets as melody] Other than that... Great, well done! I loved it.... :}

[sasukexsakura2000]

OMG THAT WAS AWESOME

[DonnaSarahMatthew]

If I was a judge I would have givin that the the best rating you could give for that competition that was funny and great playing

[mdrocklee]

Trumpets Need To Take it up an octave and Trombones need to be Louder,but hey,I'm no critic.

Good Marching Though.=D

[chords4dayz]

nooooo... that would make them sound terrible.

[dmblue1]

LOL...this is a rehearsal before game day. Trumpets are told to play high notes an octave down, and everyone plays quietly.

[MrGriffico]

@mdrocklee Those are the 2nd and 3rd trumpets in front of the camera

[fall98]

I marched in a HBCU showband. But I thought that cute with the Family Guy bit and the knee thing was hilarious!!

[fullthrottlerox]

how are the tubas suppose to do the knee gag?!?!?!?! ahhhh!!!

[KJohnson617]

HECK NO!!! That knee gag was TOOOOOOOO funny! LMAO

[crisisaftermidnight]

hahaha tht was cool, and i was laughing so hard when the knee thing came up HAHAHAHA!!!!

[WarrenWestonEagle]

Fun!

I marched in the Million Dollar Band at the University of Alabama. You might of heard of it. Yes, I got to caress the Sudler Trophy. It was the best experiences in my life.

Roll Tide!

[he3fast]

this is the school that wants me to play there..im so lucky

[madcat08]

Hey thanks a lot!

[madcat08]

Hey any idea where you guys purchased this version of the song? I'm a director and I can't locate it anywhere....

[michltyler]

I am 99% sure it was arranged by the director at the time (Prof. NIx). It was the season after I last marched there, so not 100%, but it sounds like a Nix arrangement and that's what I remember my friends telling me.

[WarrenWestonEagle]

Usually large schools with great music programs have student arrangers. UA had arrangers, so we got to play some cool pieces. I'm almost sure that happens here.

[MarveIed]

I'm surprised they haven't used a similar arrangement in the show. A marching band theme would be interesting.

[iLuvUcapnCaveman]

i f*ing wet my pants with the knee thing hahahaha 5 starssss yeahhhhh!

[FirmW2]

Man maybe if they got rid of the fucking woodwinds they wouldn't sound so much like ass.

[HammerToFall13194]

typical brass player...every section in the band has their place.

besides, it's not so much the woodwinds as it is the brass. did you hear the trumpets?

[williamshaw3rd]

dude, woodwind have themelody, u brass sound like shit, i i dont think my friends in that band would disagree.  plz have u tried playing in a mid west band in january? im 5 miles from here!

[bryanbrescia12]

that was terrible...

[nsudizziac11]

Ok i remember the knee skin

[JasonFann]

Lol Maybe whould be better if they got uniforms?

[heathrown]

This is just a practice

[nsudizziac11]

Somebody dosent know the Music it souns kinda bad....what the hell was that knee thing? a BOW?im mad they strut right in the middle of the song

[worldofjohnboy]

Um, if you ever watched the Family Guy, in the episode "Wasted Talent," Peter falls and skins his knee and there is like 2 minutes worth of him grabbing his knee and going "ahhhhh esssssss, ahhhhh"

[pitgirl06]

hahaha. the knee thing was funny.

[tubaharris]

lol lol

[latios81597]

LETS GO MICHIGAN!!! state sucks

[pizzacheese94]

lol them doing peter!!!!

[pandybug]

WOOOOOOOOO! Family guy!<3

[disturbedfan0]

wow, what group are you guys in? you guys look really big

[Aceofh]

man large band i'm in a 1a band

[Xenar17]

lol the Peter hurt knee part was pretty funny

[Waffl3Pr0ducti0ns]

I play that on trombone solo when I'm bored, really fun and easy tune to learn ^^.

[SailorMoonie4e]

Man, my marching band never does anything that cool. In HS, we did do Classic Rock. And in college we did play Time Warp, but it wasn't that fun.

[BenjaminGay]

yea guys....keep practicing covering animated themes......instead of winning football games.....its a dark future for football in ann arbor......beautiful campus ive been there but your fans have nothing on HAPPY VALLEY!!!! PSU!!!!

[pesante5]

LOL @ them doing Peter LOL

[heathrown]

There are 17 in the band this year, though typically not all of them are on the field

[ECSit]

awesome! but what was the wthing at the end with the wobblyness?

[heathrown]

It's a reference to show...Peter sometimes does that when he hurts himself

[ECSit]

ah ok cool, u guys r awesome btw

[heathrown]

Thanks! We really love know all our hard work is appreciated!

[ECSit]

u guys r huge...how big is ur tenor section? btw trombones rule!

[pinballwizard301]

[Tsaxnrd]

[HammerToFall13194]

[FamRepresenta]

[ilovedalmations247]

a for effort

[sk8terdude96]

the best damn band in the land aka my band osu can do better trumpets should play the main part

[zytekfan]

looks like a band practice, so it's okay ;)

[cardcaptorsakura99]

o man i never thought i would see the day when someone would do this

[Moony97145]

This was pretty amazing...love the part near the end imitating when Peter hurts his knee. :D

[Tatapuddin]

TBDBITL >

[jcg1869]

OMG!!! Classic!!! I absolutely love it. Huge family guy fan, and being an ex-bandie, I'm impressed with the formation and high stepping. Kudos!

[wesphs50]

Did they ever perform this at a game?

[bryanbrescia12]

when did they ever "perform" at a game? their band is a joke.

[mygoldfisharegold]

lol that was ace when they all stopped and did the scene from family guy

love marching bands

only wish we had more marching bands in aus, i'd definatly join

although...i think i'd be to uncoordinated to play the flute and march at the same time lol

[coneibieta]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[InbhearMor]

i havent seen any WW in the band yet theres trombones... is it an all brass band? only other times i see all brass bands are wen there drum corps...

[heathrown]

There are woodwinds. We're just usually in the back of formations.

[InbhearMor]

aww thats so not fair!!!! yas rele shud rebel haha

[will955000]

What level is it in?

[heathrown]

I'm not all that sure what you mean by level

[will955000]

If the music was bought in JW Pepper there would always be a level, Easy, Medium and hard. Which one is it? If you don't know just reason it.

[heathrown]

Ok I get it. I would really have no idea. Most of the music we play is arranged specifically for the MMB.

[icnbtone]

i hate corestyle bands dey suck dick

[RobBrown65]

that's extra ignorant. Some of the best bands in the land are CORPS style. And this is coming from a show-style HBCU band member.

[mattfury24]

Piss on Michigan...GO BUCKS!!!!!

[nahoney531]

hahaha i love it!

[samlovesblackyear]

lol ahhhahh lmao

[robnum1]

Ohio's band plays better...

[DJBiv788]

Tell me something...what is the long rest in the end about "ahhh....ahhh..."

[heathrown]

It's a joke from the show...Peter sometimes does it when he hurts himself.

[moork401]

its something he does. lol its funny.

[J13taylor]

Good job!

Work on your intervals though..

[arneil5]

gay i mean they suck

im not a homophobe

[stefsue6]

Oh that is just great...your visuals are good

[johnmanigold]

texas? gay? homophobe....

[geniusjonw]

OMG that's cool!
