 A Real "Rouser" Feb 14, 2002
By Leonard J Raiff
Excellent symphonic band arrangements of some great favorites. These college kids are remarkable players. My only criticism is that some of the arrangements seem to make these marches into Broadway showstoppers and take excessive liberties with the original scores. Good audio quality for a recording made at the beginning of the digital era.

 The Best Marches Oct 29, 2000
By John Simons
I bought this record when it first came out. My father and I used to listen to it on the way to Football games. The songs are performed by U of M's concert band, not their marching band, so the sound is even more incredible. If you ever hear commercials with fight songs in the background, this is their source!! My record is long been scratched so now I'm getting it on CD. Best when listened to on saturday mornings.

Equal to, if not superior to USMC Band. Fanatstic!!!!!!!, Aug 04, 1999
It would be very difficult to match these arrangements. Each is a jewel. The percussions make the difference, or is it the brass, or is it the wood winds.......

U of M Symphonic Band marches on Feb 26, 2010
By Harvey S. Morrison
I bought this CD in order to replace its older vinyl version for company on a treadmill. For that purpose, the tempos are terrific.
The recording contains symphonic arrangements of college fight songs and is outstanding. Of course, you can't go wrong with any of the collections done by U of M bands.

The Real Story Nov 26, 2008
By S. Allen
First of all this recording is the Michigan Symphony Band. I am not sure about this but I believe this was recorded live at Carnegie Hall. This band is probably the wordls greatest band. There are several world class bands, Eastmen Wind Ensemble, Sousa's Band, the Goldman Band, and a few other college bands, but in my opinion the Michigan Symphony Band is the best. All the Big Ten schools concert bands are excellent. This group is just superior to the rest. If you don't believe me check out the original LP recording which had reviews on the back after this performance. Any one who can't tell this band is extrodinary has no ear for music. I love the arrangements but I can understand how some might not like them. These are symphonic arrangements of the fight songs. If you expect to hear arrangements that you might hear at the game while you drink a beer and eat a hot dog this is probably not for you. No matter what you think of the arrangements the band is incedible. Anyone who loves the sound of a great concert band should enjoy this.
