The New York Philharmonic, which was in town for three shows at UM's venerable Hill Auditorium this weekend, featured their brass section as they joined the Michigan Marching Band on Canham's Carpet for a truly remarkable homecoming halftime show. The two bands were joined by the MMB alumni band to perform Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th Symphony as the halftime's grand finale – which was more than an appropriate selection given what was just witnessed by 110,452 patrons packed inside Michigan Stadium in the first half.
The well-orchestrated halftime show was an impressive spectacle to say the least.
