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!
