<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times",serif">Whether you are a recent graduate or one of our more “experienced” alumni, we want you to be with us for a great weekend of fun, music and friendship. The weekend will begin with an optional welcome
reception on Friday evening September 20<sup>th</sup> and continue on Saturday morning with a music rehearsal and a brief marching rehearsal. A reunion lunch will be served in the music building and then we join forces with the current “Pride” to take on
Eastern New Mexico State at 6:00 p.m. The Alumni Band will perform with the “Pride” at pre-game and halftime and music will be available well in advance. The band will have the opportunity to play in the stands and there are non-marching options available.
We will be able to provide most large instruments including Sousaphones and Marching Percussion.
