It’s Charter Week, and along with it Glow Big Red! Glow Big Red calls on all Huskers (students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends) to show their spirit for the university on February 14.

Huskers across the globe are asked to: 

• LIGHT IT: Red burns brighter. Prove it by lighting up your house or windows with Husker red lights and glow sticks.
• FLY IT: It might not be game day, but you can wave, spin or toss your Husker flag like it is! 
• WEAR IT: Wear your favorite Husker apparel (i.e. your Band Alumni shirt), or throw on a pop of red to show your Nebraska pride.
• GIVE IT: Build the next 150 years of excellence by contributing to your university during its 24 Hours of Husker Giving. You can use the buttons at nebandalums.org to give directly to our funds, or you can choose to donate to the University of Nebraska Foundation.

Anyone who snaps a photo, video or other digital content and posts it on social media using the hashtag #GlowBigRed showing how they light it, fly it, wear it or give it, will be entered to win N150 prizes from the university. If you don’t use social media, submit your photos to social@unl.edu to enter. Entries will be collected from now until Feb. 15. Winners announced on Charter Day. Here is your chance to highlight your CMB pride. Consider a photo with your instrument, Band Alumni shirt, or your CMB family.

The 2019 Reunion Weekend will be August 30-31, 2019. The game on Saturday, August 31st is against South Alabama. No game time is set; therefore we do not have a schedule. Expect to see registration open in July 2019.

At the 2018 Band Alumni Association meeting on Friday, September 14, 2018, you elected Amy Pettit to replace outgoing director, Jodi Alva. Here is a little more about Amy. As a director on the Board, she is your voice in helping to run our organization. You can get to know a little more about each of the members of the Board of Directors on our website at https://nebandalums.org/board-of-directors-officers/board-of-directors and the Officers at https://nebandalums.org/board-of-directors-officers/officers. 

Serving the UNL bands as a member of Kappa Kappa Psi brought me great joy and close friendships and I hope that I can continue to serve the current students by doing my part on the band alumni board.

This year, we will have section 23 designated as the ‘CMB Alumni Section’! We invite all alumni and their families to sit together. Look for the BAA banner and signs. We’d love to get a picture of everyone together!
