Hello Band Alumni!

My name Is Joey Regan and I am the treasurer for Kappa Kappa Psi. Every year, we do a band clothing fundraiser, so if you’ve been wanting to get your band clothing items this year, now is your chance! The website to access the order is located at the end of this post. The first round will be from today, September 14 through this Friday, September 16. You will get another chance in a few weeks to order again. There are many items for current members, alumni, and there are more options for parents this year, so be sure to share it with your friends and family! The women’s band jackets are back this year as well as a car decal. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to email me at jregan181@gmail.com. Thanks!

**PS: We ask that the marching band jackets are limited to current and former CMB members, so if you are not or have not been a member, please do not purchase one.

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2016 Band Alumni Reunion Weekend! We hope that everyone had a great time, and that even more will attend next year! If you missed this year’s reunion, you missed meeting the recipient of the first Jack R. Snider UNL Band Alumni Association Scholarship, but you can read about it below. Thanks again to all band alums for a great reunion weekend!

Drum major Meghan Coughlin is the first recipient of the Jack R. Snider UNL Band Alumni Association Scholarship. Meghan is a criminology and criminal justice major from Omaha who joined the Cornhusker Marching Band following her positive experience in the marching band at Millard North High School.

The Jack R. Snider UNL Band Alumni Association Scholarship will help Meghan, and future students like her, manage band-related expenses such as uniform dry cleaning, instrument maintenance, marching shoes and the credit hours required for participation in the band. Music majors and non-music majors are eligible for this scholarship.

Your donation to this fund will reward an exceptional band student each year and restate your support of The Pride of All Nebraska. Please make your donation to the Jack R. Snider UNL Band Alumni Association Fund today. (See DONATE NOW button to the right of the screen!)

I hope everyone is ready for reunion weekend!

Don’t forget to print your music for halftime in advance! Please email if you need help with this.

We still have a single football ticket left in our block- please let us know if you or anyone you know might want it.

Dinner begins at 6:30 on Friday at the Ridnour Room of the Apothecary in Lincoln’s Haymarket. We’ll be celebrating 40 years of pep bands!

Uniform for all marching alumni is red shirt/polo, khaki shorts/pants, and white socks/shoes.

Saturday check in begins at 1:00 p.m. with the first indoor rehearsal at 1:30. During the  5:15 rehearsal, we’ll be presenting our first recipient of the Band Alumni Association’s Jack R. Snider Band Scholarship with her award. After that, it’s game time!

Looking forward to a great weekend! GBR!

This year’s music for Alumni Band weekend will be a rock legends show! It will be a tribute to those who’ve died in 2016: Glenn Frey (The Eagles), David Bowie and Maurice White (Earth, Wind and Fire.) Before you ask, there is no Prince music. Since he had no will, the licensing isn’t available. Our tune is “September”. Halftime music, along with fight songs, will be provided via pdf, only to those who have registered. The email with the download link and password will come the weekend of August 19-21. Participants will need to print their own music in advance of the weekend, which is a change from in past years. If you have not yet registered, please do so. The deadline Friday, August 19th. Hope to see you there!

NOW AVAILABLE for a short time only!

The Band Alumni Association’s online apparel store is now open from November 10-22 to ensure you receive your shirt before the holidays. Once the store is closed, it’s closed, so don’t wait to order! New this year is a t-shirt and hoodie with the words to Band Song in the shape of Nebraska. Men’s and women’s polos are also available.

All purchases are between you and ArtFX. The Band Alumni Association is not involved in the purchasing process nor the pick-up/delivery of any merchandise you order. The BAA is not responsible for any part of your purchase.
