2024 Reunion Recap

Thank you for attending the Sept 13-14 reunion weekend- the 50th Anniversary of the BAA!

Almost 300 members of the alumni band joined the 300 members of the Cornhusker Marching Band in a spectacular halftime show, paying homage to some of the top songs of 1974! The combined bands performed “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede. Fun was had by all, as evidenced by the many posts and photos shared since. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to the success of the 50th BAA reunion!

We voted in two new board members at our annual business meeting on Friday night: Jamie Chambers, 1999-2002 Flagline and Tom Montgomery, 1985-1990 trombone. Welcome to the board!

Be on the lookout for the 2025 reunion date sometime between January-April. We will post here, as well as on social media, as soon as we get word from the band department- promise!

Sometime during the week of July 4th is when we usually have our registration page up and ready to go. We will also send an email and post on social media when it goes live, but if you haven’t heard anything by mid-July, feel free to email us at: info@nebandalums.org.

Next year, we will continue to have a limited number of seats on the sidelines: 250, so please register early if you want one of those seats. However, we will still offer alums the opportunity to purchase their own ticketed seat in the stands to be able to participate in halftime! That way, we don’t have to limit the number of alumni participating in our reunion on game day.

Stay tuned to our website and social media for the latest updates on all things band. Go Big Red!

2024 Reunion begins tomorrow!

Here is a video that we hope is helpful for alums registered and attending on Saturday: https://youtu.be/6SPeqPFlUbc

Reunion Registration will be going live by next week!


Reunion Registration to open in July!

MANY changes happening—please read!

This year, the Athletic Department is limiting our seats on the sidelines to 250. If you would like one of those seats (which are included with your dues and marching fee), please register early.

However, it’s not all bad news. We can have more than 250 marching on the field and marching down to the stadium! If you register after we have reaching our seating capacity, you can purchase a ticket in the stands and still participate in the day with us. Also, if you’d prefer a better seat than on the sidelines, you can purchase your own football ticket and just join us for half time. You are responsible for your instrument if sitting in the stands.

DEADLINE TO REGISTER: Friday, August 23rd (same day as the CMB Exhibition, which is at 7:00 p.m.!)

This is the 50 anniversary of the BAA so we have some special things planned! Our merchandise store will be open mid July-August 20 and will have new designs for the 50th.

Please send photos from past alumni events!
You can message us through our facebook page or email us at info@nebandalums.org

Our Friday dinner will include a fun presentation, music, and great food. More details to come soon.

Please see the “Reunion weekend” tabs for much more information!
