Band
Day was a cherished Michigan tradition from its inception at the 1949 Indiana game. As many as 100 high school bands in mass formation would perform under the direction of UM band directors William Revelli and George Cavender. As the cost of providing seats to 10,000 high school band members became too great, alternatives were tried. In 1979, Slippery Rock and Shippensburg played for Band Day when the Wolverines were out of town. Wayne State faced Slippery Rock at the Big House in the last Band Day in 1981.
