Homecoming Alumni Band 2011
Maryland vs. Clemson
New Season. New Coach. New Uniforms. More New Uniforms. Join the 2011 Alumni Band to see what everyone's wearing!
Pre-Registration is Now Closed
Homecoming registration dues are $40 for individuals or $70 for couples. If you did not register by the October 1st deadline, you can still sign-in at the door. But you must pay the full dues plus a $5.00 late registration surcharge, and you will not be guaranteed a shirt or tailgate meal (we'll have very limited extras available). Please wear a red shirt (preferably collared) in case we run out of polos.

TerpsChoice - Help the Band Get New Uniforms
Posted April 18th, 2011, 10:18 pm by Marianne Kassabian
Help the Mighty Sound of Maryland get new band uniforms by participating in TerpsChoice, the university's new social giving effort that seeks to make a big impact through small contributions.
Go to http://terpschoice.umd.edu to make your gift in any amount from $10 to $250. You can vote/donate as many times as you'd like between Feb. 1 and April 30, but only once per day. All of the money donated by the end of the campaign will go to the cause that receives the most votes.
The minimum donation amount per vote is $10. If you'd like to donate more than $10, we recommend you make the minimum donation once per day, so you can cast several votes over several days.
If you're a Tweeter or Facebooker, please help spread the word to family and friends to get us over the top.
Remember - your vote won't count unless you make a donation at the same time. There isn't much time left, so make your TerpsChoice today.

Yes, we’re a tad behind announcing Alumni Band and starting registration, but for good reason. On the verge of going live, our Database and Web Master, Noah, and his wife Theresa welcomed their future little band member into the world, just in time for the first home game of the season! Congratulations to Noah, Theresa and Little Emma!
Centennial DVD for Sale
The Centennial Homecoming 2008 DVD is available for sale. Those attending Homecoming will receive their copy in the Homecoming Packet. Those not attending Homecoming will receive it in the mail following Homecoming. The price is a modest $15, and makes a great present! It also makes a great item for a Baby Time Capsule! You can order the DVD with your Homecoming registration.
Welcome Letter to All Alums From Dr. Sparks
Posted September 28th, 2008, 9:42 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!
