Michigan Marching Band: Free Bird

[Patbad73]

I think when a marching band does this song it should be about 10 minutes long and take up the entire field show. This was just way too short.

[POLARBEARNOPENGUIN]

I wonder how many times they repeated it. Freebird!!

[ps3gamer31]

FREEBIRD

[MrFishtaco567]

Does anyone know where I can get this version, I want to suggest it to my band Director.

[gangstahero1770]

that sure was not 11 minutes long!!!!!!!!!!!!

[atomicorangutan27]

does anyone know who arranged this version?

[heathrown]

@atomicorangutan27 I finally got around to looking into this...that would be the band director at this time, J. Nix

[Drummaster13]

hopefully i can convince my director to get that song for our school. that song is one of the best of all time. 8D

[dylanorse1550]

only we have a guitarist actually playing the guitar solo while we play... this will be during the half time show of our last home football game

[dylanorse1550]

My high school marching band plays this song... :)

[enterprise359]

this sounds sooooo good. and actually sounds like the song unlike anyone elses. the only thing i hate is how they jump to the solo so quick. it sounds bad pretty much going straight to it. i understand this has to be done for time reasons.

[Alejandro19921005]

sorprendente awesome

[carsonrhyne]

if im ever president this will b the new national anthem but i doubt i will b so

[kwo725]

lmao

[oathkeeperblade]

oh my god.... awesome

[BringbackSWATcats]

I've heard better marching arrangements, but this is nothing to sneeze at.

[hawkeyekiller1]

i love how they play to the student section thats sweet

[DrDestructo94]

THIS MICHIGAN MARCHING BAND IS FUCKING AWESOME...here I am playing Pat Matheny songs =/

[craigzombar93]

i know i play stupid songs too =/, but last year we had a bob marley show,and played some acdc :)

[jazzfreakX15]

I always remember the the beginning of free bird having like a middle ranged voice like a french horn syle. Was thinking that so trombones could crank that bass line up even more and rock that joint instead of bein the solo line at beginning XD

[ShadowZelda3]

We played that my sophomore year in high school! It was longer though. That was part of our Southern Rock show which also included Sweet Home Alabama and Jessica and Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers Band. I personally thought that was the suckiest show of these past 3 years.

[MrFishtaco567]

@ShadowZelda3 That would be the best show ever! Sweet Home Alabama, Whipping Post, AND FREEBIRD!

[polarissleds10]

amazing.

[hailtothevictors2]

we played this for our senior show it was awesome!! i love this song!! GO BLUE

[thefinnman92]

holy crap can you hear the trombone parts!??!? its insane.

[Flakmaid]

hey thatguy126...how about THE PRIDE OF THE BUCKEYES THE BEST DAMN BAND IN THE LAND!!!

[iiliikepuddingg]

our marching band is doing this (but we're just hs) wooww theyre amazing

[stayonthefarm]

GOD i love free bird, but GH frikkin ruined it for me because everyone thinks they know it now.

sigh

[xxNichi]

everyone knows that song. ahaha

[fatheadf22]

i have one question. if the band is on the feild, how come there are still band members in the stands?

[topazedward]

they are reserves

[fatheadf22]

i thought being in marching band got me out of being benched. i guess even band geek can ride the bench.

[bandgurla1]

it could also just be varsity playing, with freshmen in the stands, like at my school.

[EricRSmyth]

holy shit, these guys are fuckin pro-star

i guess im gonna say go blue and gold!

[Afrotronics]

Go Prof.Boerma!

[Millsie1990]

What standard of football is this then is much removed from the NFL

so for example the NFL is number one league where would this league be positioned

[lilslink989]

Best Band In The Land GO BLUE!!!

[thatguy126]

i believe the best band in the land is the BLUE band ( psu one) :p

[Millsie1990]

thas amazing we have nothign liek that in england you american are mad for your sports its truley amazing wish we were abit more supporting and done more events like this

[szv202]

But you Brits have football hooligans and riots. If that's not team spirit, I don't know what is.

[21philip21]

that was awesome

[sonac04]

Huh, kinda reminds me of the way the Colts do things. nice though.

[dbratton45]

This is exciting...I like it. Go Michigan!!!

[cosmopunk]

i was wondering how the were gonna do the solo. it worked well

[xconfidentialx182]

i was at that game!that was an awesome show

[firecorona]

Why did he say Guitar Hero?

[heathrown]

Music from Guitar Hero was the theme of that week's show

[bryce2012]

i like the harmonies

[Pirateking89]

Loved the Guitar Hero Intro speech

[tjysk8r]

best half time show ever

[acm58]

they're the reserves...those who don't make the performance block stay in the stands during halftime

[JuergenALange]

crap! I hope I don't end up in that group if I go there.

[heathrown]

Don't worry. Most people in the band have been a reserve at some point, but you have a chance to make the show each week!

[jawharp1992]

why are other band members in the stands?
