Marching Band Alumni

There will be three practices for alumni to attend. You are highly encouraged to attend at least ONE practice, but if you are unable please make sure to practice your music on your own before the game. We will help you figure out where to go even if you aren't able to come to practice! Practices will be held on the band practice field (old baseball field with the dugouts) on the following dates: 

RAMETTE/MAJORETTE ALUMNI ONLY Saturday, August 17th @ 10am-12pm

Monday, August 26th @ 3-5pm 

Thursday, August 29th @ 6-8pm 

Friday, August 30th @ 4pm (We will do a short rehearsal/run through before the start of the game) 

When you registered, you should have selected a size for an alumni shirt. You are able to pay for this shirt by:

• Dropping cash or check off at the school with Deb Hunt

• Mailing a check to the schoot (Attn Deb Hunt) 

• Calling Deb Hunt at the HS athletic office with your credit card information 

Shirts are able to be picked up during any of our practices listed. If you have not paid for your shirt by our practice, you are able to pay at practice. If you are unable to attend a practice, we will have your shirt ready for you at the game.

We are asking that all participating band alumni wear their alumni shirts with black pants. Your shirt is your ticket to the game. 

• 4:00pm - Report to band practice field dressed and ready to go with instruments/flags/batons for a short rehearsal and run through of the halftime show. 

• Following the run through, the high school students will have time to get changed. Members who were unable to attend either practice during the week are able to get their tee shirt from a band director at this time. 

• 6:25pm - March into the stadium together. Alumni will be placed within the band parade block. Once inside the stadium, we will stop to play the Fight Song in front of the home stands. After the Fight Song, we will continue to our band bleachers near the end zone. An extra set of bleachers will be set up for alumni to sit in. 

• 6:45pm - Pregame show. The alumni band are welcome to watch the band perform from the bleachers in the end zone. Alumni will not be performing during pregame, as there will be football alumni on the field. 

• 7:00pm - Kick off! Band alumni are welcome to sit in the bleachers by the end zone and enjoy watching the game with the band. There will also be food trucks and concessions for you to partake in. 

• 4 minutes left on the clock in 2nd Quarter: The band (high schoolers and alumni) will warm up and prepare to take the field for halftime. We will watch the away band perform, then perform our halftime show. We will play Back in Black, Louie Louie, Long Train, and the Fight Song. 

• After halftime, alumni are finished with their performance. You are welcome to stay with us and march back to the school at the end of the game if you would like. Any alumni borrowing percussion or low brass instruments should make sure to check in with a director to return their instrument before leaving. 

Below you will find all of the music you need to prepare for the alumni performance. At halftime, we will play Back in Black, Louie Louie, Long Train, and the Fight Song. Please find and print your part. For part splits (1st trumpet, 2nd trumpet, etc.) please play whichever part you feel most comfortable on.
