There are just 17 Days Left Till Kick-off, but we're running a little behind on the Countdown. So with 17 Days Left, you’re gonna get three reasons a day to Love Ann Arbor until we get caught up! So, here's #43 in our continuing Series of 100 Days to Football and 100 Reasons to Love Ann Arbor.

#43 - The Michigan Marching Band

via lh6.ggpht.com

The best marching band in the world. Period. Full stop. I may be biased as a former member, but it's true. The Michigan Marching Band helps make your football Saturday. From the final march down to Stadium and Main, to "The Victors" after a touchdown, to the alma mater closing down another victory. The members of the band put in hundreds of hours preparing for the football season and tireless hours of practice during the summer getting ready to play. They're always there, making us tap our feet, smile and sing at the top of our lungs. Yet another reason why their #43 in our Countdown and Reason #43 to Love Ann Arbor.

If you've got suggestions on places you'd like to see, email me with a photo or a description and we'll get your favorite hangouts in the countdown as well. I'll also try to get a link on the sidebar in the coming days that allows you to see all 100 Reasons to Love Ann Arbor.
