I agree, pure class! Gave me chills, thanks for your support from an 1977 Michigan alumni, Cindy Megee

[sbielaniec]

Wow ! Thank you and Bravo ro the MSU band . That was very classy to do that for the MMB.

[enialis02]

Thank you Spartans, from a Wolverine.

[lineygoblue]

Excellent. Well played by a fine marching band.

All these kids, from both MSU and Michigan, are from two of the finest universities in the world. As a Michiganian, I am proud to have these two fine universities in our beloved state. All of these kids are "our" kids.

God bless you all.

I'm a former Michigan Marching Band member, and never had the privilege of meeting Patrick. What an exceptionally heartfelt gesture from the Spartan Marching Band, and very well done, as always. It moved me to tears. Thanks, Spartans, and Go Green (except in your next game). :-)

[EverydayByTay]

Thanks for posting this. Honored to be a part of a marching band community that cares so much about its "brother bands." Honored to have helped shoot this video. Good job SMB. RIP Patrick.

[dfobare]

Wow. Pure class. Can't help but get choked up. Well done Sparty.

[brose03]

Class Acts. Great Job.

[Soulfire21]

As always, GO BLUE, but State got it right. Thanks for the support!

[TheMichiganfan39]

Very classy Michigan State! Thank you guys!

[tjwolfg]

This is first-class Spartans. First class.

Go Blue. Go Green. Go White.

RIP Patrick

Break out the Kleenex - very moving. As a Wolverine I am deeply touched at this classy gesture. Way to go Sparties. God Bless.

[aonechicago]

A profoundly moving and class tribute to a fellow collegian...... Bravo S M B......

[MyEboyd]

A very moving tribute. God bless Patrick Fleming's family.  God bless UMich Marching Band. God bless Michigan State Marching Band, and all those who experience the depth of Patrick's untimely death. Go Green! Go Blue!

Class Act. Thank you from Ann Arbor!

[ruchd2010]

Thanks Spartan Marching Band for the wonderful tribute. My son is in the MMB, and I know they appreciate all the support.

[feenixrising10]

I'm sure Patrick Fleming's family will be very touched by this tribute.

[Nursemedic97]

Thank you, Spartans!

[Mandymaire33]

I am a die hard UofM fan, this is wonderful.

[FairyGodMom7]

From what I posted on my FB page: Beautiful! Because when it comes down to it we are neither Spartan nor Wolverine nor Buckeye nor Badger nor a cog in any university machine. We are HUMAN: family by birth, family we choose, friend. And that is what matters. Very classy.

[jenannray]

That was just beautiful and very moving. Thank you SMB for your class act! Michigan '69

[batesash1]

Just wonderful.

[mgoblueinnc]

I enjoyed this tribute very much....very classy on the part of the Spartan band. I echo bobbertska in saying that this was wonderful for our differences to be set aside at a moment like this to reflect on the loss of a wonderful person by all accounts and a fellow band member. Thank you!

[catgoblue]

Thank you so much for doing this. So touching and really kind of you.

[bobbertska]

Thank you Spartans for setting aside our differences and giving your compassion to this young man.

[sopranospartan]

As a graduate of MSU College of Music and the Mom of a Trumpet player in The Michigan Marching Band, I Thank-You for the compassion and message of condolence you have shared for Patrick, his family and The MMB.

[beacon4176]

Thank you so much for your support in this difficult time. This was beautiful. Patrick would have loved it. -MMB Trumpeter

[lindyhc]

MSU Band members, you have shown what wonderful and caring people you are by offering this message of condolence. Thank you for sharing your compassion for your fellow human beings!

[thejadegecko]

As a MSU alumni, this was super awesome guys! I am glad our bands can share a common love, and come together at times like this. Keep up the awesome work - no matter with you are blue or green.... when a member is lost, it is hurt (My section leader in HS died in a car accident and 2 yrs later another band member died also, so I know the feeling of a lost member/friend)

[UMichNick13]

CLASS ACT, Spartans. Well played. I've always enjoyed the camaraderie between our bands. Thank you for supporting the MMB in this difficult time. Keep up the great work. GO GREEN and GO BLUE. AEA

[idfkandrew]

Love it.
