Share Your Hill Auditorium Memories:
Having played and sung in university ensembles since 1962, I have many fond memories of Hill Auditorium. My most memorable, however, is a combined Michigan Symphony Band Memorial Concert with current and alumni members performing “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral” by R. Wagner. The concert honored and memorialized the recent death of William D. Revellil who was purported to have been one of the foremost interpreters of this work for wind band. Emotions of the many years with a master teacher and the sound of the combined musicians is a memory which will live with me forever. It all happened in Hill Auditorium.
