Univ. of Michigan Band Blares LGBTQ+ Support in Halftime Show

The University of Michigan marching band celebrated the school's LGBTQ+ students, staff, and supporters on Saturday with a homecoming halftime show dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the university’s Spectrum Center — a space at the school that supports, advocates, and educates around LGBTQ+ topics.

Music from the performance included hits from Diana Ross, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Kim Petras, Andrew Gold, Sister Sledge, and Cyndi Lauper.

John Pasquale, a professor of conducting and the director of the university’s marching band, told The Advocate that he wanted to make a public statement in support of his students and in support of the Spectrum Center.

“I was proud to do it,” Pasquale said. “We just, as a community, came together and there it is.” “I was proud to do it,” Pasquale said. “We just, as a community, came together and there it is.”
