It was wonderful to have so many TMB Alumni join us for the pregame performance at UHS Homecoming on Friday, September 19, 2025. It was a beautiful evening complete with rainbows and alumni spirit from the Urbana Tiger. Enjoy photos from the event from Robin Kravets here and Karen DeBauche here. This was our first attempt at a TMB Alumni Band and we hope many of you will consider joining us again for Homecoming next year!
In addition, thank you to all of the alumni, students, current and past band directors, honored guests, community volunteers and sponsors who made the Urbana Bands 100th Anniversary Celebration a night to remember! The Alumni Band Concert took place on April 20, 2024 and was an epic reunion of more than 100 Alumni from across nine decades and nine states! Check our UHS Bands Alumni website to find photos and videos from the 100th Anniversary Celebration as well as a retrospective of Urbana Bands. We hope to gather again soon.
