Brief History of Dr. William D. Revelli

William D. Revelli (February 12, 1902 - July 16, 1994) was the director of bands, including the Michigan Marching Band at the University of Michigan for 36 years from 1935-1971. During that time, the Michigan Marching Band won international acclaim for its musical precision. Revelli is also credited with innovations that moved college marching bands across the country away from rigid military formations. Among other things, Revelli’s Michigan Marching Band was the first to synchronize music and movement and the first to use an announcer.

In one of the most famous stories of Dr. Revelli, In the 1930s, Buick paid for the band to travel to away games. In a show of appreciation, Revelli had the band line up in a “Buck – I” formation at the 1938 Ohio State game. Then, while playing Buick’s theme song, the letter "I" moved between the "u" and the "c" in "Buck" spelling out "Buick." The next morning, athletic director, Mr. Yost reportedly called Revelli at his home at 2:00 a.m. and said: "Young man, never do that again!” Yost did not approve of the injection of commercial advertising onto the college football field.
