Reunion
ΚΚΨ & ΤΒΣ Alumni Picnic
Update 10/17: Due to forecasted nastiness, the Alumni Picnic will be moved indoors to 5003 Erie St, College Park, MD 20740. It will still be at 12, and parking is free along the street as long as you dont block anyone's driveway. There will still be delicious food and good times to be had!
All alumni Gamma Xi Brothers and Beta Eta Sisters still in the area after Homecoming are invited to our annual alumni picnic. Bring the family and enjoy an afternoon of food and games.
The picnic will be held in the recently renovated Washington Quad on south campus — it's covered in turf, and has pavilions and grills!
If you can make it, please RSVP to Amber Abbott as soon as possible with your number of attendees so we can get a ballpark headcount.

Welcome Letter to All Alums From Dr. Sparks
Posted September 28th, 2008, 10:42 pm by L. Richmond Sparks
Welcome to all Maryland Band Alumni!
Homecoming is upon us and The Big Event will take place on Friday night, October 24th as we will be hosting all participants of the Maryland Band Program at a reception in the John E. Wakefield Band Rehearsal Hall. We are expecting band alumni dating back into the 1940’s. We expect all baton twirlers, flag twirlers, color guard members and we are especially proud that we have located our founding Pom Pom members and will have many of them back for this once in a lifetime Celebration. If you ever played a horn, beat a drum, danced, twirled, directed, or even just carried water and apples to the band members of this University — We want you here! This evening is for you!
Homecoming
Homecoming registration is now closed. For questions (or pleading!), please contact us at president@umbao.org. Thank you to everyone who will make this the largest Maryland alumni band ever!
This is a monumental year for the Maryland Bands, and the Homecoming kick-off will set the standard for the year's Centennial festivities. Nearly 500 alumni will be marching in this year's Homecoming game. Take a look at the list of who's marching in the alumni band.
We have a full day of activities including Pre-game and Half-time performances at the game. This year, Homecoming isn't for the football team, or the students, or even the University — it's for us, the band members that brought the Maryland Bands to the 100-year mark.
