About UMBAO

The University of Maryland Band Alumni Organization is the official alumni association of the band program. We are completely self-run and have hundreds of active members. UMBAO is in charge of contacting alumni, organizing homecoming (both the alumni band and the tailgate picnic), creating alumni basketball pep bands, and financially helping the band department.
