I love how there is plenty of Michigan Band history on TH-cam now. I'm sure at this point there is just about every single year of the band's history from 1940 - 2024 uploaded online, and I'm sure there are plenty of more reels beyond that. They really are a time capsule of how life was back then. Granted, I'm sure parts of this promotional video were embellished a tad-bit, but who cares honestly. It's just satisfying to see traditions and styles that predated the marching bands of today!
I remember being shown this video in rank leader camp in 1992. That season, we did Varsity drill similar to what was shown at the beginning of the film… a pre-cursor to Varsity being added back into pregame. Note that the music for the hula dance number at 8:35 is Hawaiian War Chant.

An alto clarinet solo, standing no less? Oh, how the mighty have fallen…
No-one has fallen. And their still mighty.
He might have stood up, just for the camera shot for that segment.
