The Band Alumni Association, Inc.’s reunion weekend will be September 1-2, 2017. The game on Saturday is UNL vs. Arkansas State. More information will be provided as it becomes available later this year.
There are three special acknowledgements this year for the UNL Band Alumni. First, it is the 40th anniversary of the Flagline. Second, the first appearance of the Alumni Band on the field came at the BAA’s second reunion, held September 19-20, 1975, with 120 in attendance. Finally, Jack Snider passed away this year. (Here’s a little secret: the half-time music will pay tribute to Jack.) We would like to pay tribute to all of these at our Friday night reunion kick-off party.
To pay tribute to all three of these events, we need your photos. To share your photos, email them as attachments to the appropriate address below. Do NOT write anything in the body of the message as it will be lost. ONLY attachments will upload, so please name photos with the year included. Please have your photos emailed by August 21, 2015, to give us enough time to put them together in slide show. We’ll post the show after the reunion for those unable to make it to the reunion.
FLAGLINE: Email to upload.UNL_Fla.hk3jcsmlfg@u.box.com. We’d love to see uniforms, rank or line photos, candid shots, etc.
ALUMNI BAND: Email to upload.UNL_BAA.4y7j7bbr9m@u.box.com. Looking for pictures of the alumni band on the field or playing on the sideline. If you have rank alumni shots, SPAM Band or other “ensembles” that works, too.
JACK SNIDER: Email to upload.UNL_Jac.t2lwhiufsd@u.box.com. Photos of people with Jack, Jack in action, Jack’s boys, etc.
We just found out this week that the UNL Band Alumni Reunion Game will be September 5 vs. BYU. Mark your calendar for this weekend. As usual, we will not have start times until a later time. We will post more information about how to register as it becomes available.
The schedule has been approved and set for the Reunion Weekend. Thanks to an early kick-off time so the game can be televised, we will be starting the day VERY early. Sorry folks, that is out of our control. We look forward to seeing you all before the crack of dawn on September 6th.
Below is an outline of the reunion’s events. For details, please use the menu under the Reunion Weekend link for the details of each day’s activities, uniform requirements, instrumental rental policy, football tickets, and to reserve parking on a game day.
