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.

There are only 3 weeks left to register for this year’s reunion! Reminder: The deadline to register is August 19th. https://nebandalums.org/registration/form/registrant

Due to the late game time, we will not hold our post-game party but will instead host a pre-game luncheon at the Apothecary after our outdoor rehearsal. HyVee will be catering and serving burgers, cole slaw, potato salad, cookies, and pop! $8 in advance or $10 at the door.

The last few years, you all have been so wonderful taking care of UNL’s rental instruments that have dropped the instrument rental fee down to $15 this year! The instruments will still need to be repaired from time to time, which is why we have a fee.

Front line and Flag line members will automatically be charged a $5 fee for the use of the equipment for the day.

Football tickets are still available for $75/each and we do have a block of tickets this year!

We’ll be celebrating 40 years of pep bands at this year’s Friday picnic! Please join us for an evening with friends, band staff, and members of the current UNL pep bands. We’ll also have a delicious dinner catered for $17.50/person! If you would also like to sponsor a band staff or pep band member’s meal, that option is available on the registration form. We’ll hold our annual board meeting at this dinner and will be voting on two board members. If you have photos from a pep band you were involved in, please send them to us!

We hope to see you September 2nd and 3rd at the reunion! Register today!
