Supposedly the first to welcome Bo Schembechler to the U of M. Revelli was difficult but achieved building the instrumental program to one of the best that will ever exist. Even though he demanded perfection, he could be your friend if you made a true effort to improve.
I saw him conduct the U of North Texas Band in the 1980s. I congratulate him on his many successes, but whenever I hear someone talk about "giving 110%" I know I'm hearing motivation nonsense.
@@jamesgardner6225 If that were true all anyone would have to do is tell people to "give 110%" But it doesn't work like that. Never did. It is a nonsense phrase.
I’m way more impressed with teachers that get results without being a bully, unlike Revelli. Condescention invites descention by nature, and is not welcomed behavior in the professional realm. Revelli would blame the students to make up for his own shortcomings. 👎 There’s always people pushing people to do thier best in every field, so what makes Revelli special?
I must disagree. As a Revelli student, and a realist, I absolutely knew that giving more than 100% was nonsense. What was not nonsense, however, was how each of us defined 100%.. It is a most shocking thing to recognize that what we thought was 100% was, in fact, significantly less. Learning we have more to give is the genius of Revelli.

I never knew that this was available on TH-cam. Outstanding.
Inspirational. Thanks for uploading this.
No one has ever been able to fill his shoes at Michigan.

Revelli is such an interesting man. While his pursuit was noble, his tactics were, at times, questionable.

Revelli's "many successes" can be attributed to "giving 110 %". 😉
