If there's football, show will safely go on for Michigan Marching Band

Football players are returning to campus at Michigan to begin COVID-19 testing before voluntary conditioning and weight training starts next week as momentum continues to build toward a season this fall.

There is nothing concrete regarding the upcoming football season aside from the fact everything seems to be in flux. If games are played, will fans be allowed? How many fans? Families? Students? How about tailgating? Media coverage?

So many questions yet to be answered, among them, what about an enormous part of the game-day experience, the Michigan Marching Band? After all, the playing of “The Victors” and the drum major backbend are an essential part of the day.
