UH Alumni Band - 2009
This year we're organizing the Alumni Band for homecoming against Utah State on, November 7, 2009.- Rehearsal at Aloha Stadium at 2:00 pm. There are no drills to learn, only marching onto the field. After rehearsal a catered dinner for $15.00 will be served. Perform pregame along with the Rainbow Band, then take your seats and play until your lips disintegrate. Be sure you have HORSE memorized, and of course, applaud, yell, scream, cheer, and have fun!
- Date: TBA. Flags will meet earlier that day or maybe meet once to rehearse routine.
- Return the form by Friday, October 9th, 2009.
Make the evening even more special by calling up a few of your "old" classmates from band, and join us as a group. The more, the merrier. With people moving around over the years, it's for us to keep our address file up-to-date. Some of your favorite bandpersons may not even receive this letter!
Flags: We will provide flag equipment for you and will be getting in touch with you about rehearsal.
Instruments: Need an instrument? If we have what you need, we will be glad to check it out to you. Call George in the Equipment Office at 956-5207. We will provide sousaphones and percussion equipment. All others should call as soon as possible to sign out an instrument if we have one.
Further Details: Further details, like dress, where/how to park, how to get into the stadium, etc., will be mailed to you. However, you must let us know by October 9 in order to have time to create the charts, get music ready, and to get organized.
November 7 will be a fun evening. It will also be great to see LOTS of band alumni together once again. Please mark this date on your calendar, call a few of your former classmates, and return the response form to us right away. If you have any questions please give Gwen a call at 956-7657.
Keith Higaki, Marching Band Director
Gwen Nakamura, Assistant Band Director
Note: Be prepared to play all our old favorites like Horse, Land of 1000 Dances, and especially Hawaii 5-0.
