REGISTRATION FOR ALUMNI BAND IS NOW LIVE!
From Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/eYwqsqnai7sPJd1g/)
Please follow the link at the bottom of this post to register.
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
As in past years, there are several participation level options:
· Marching Group – Be part of the marching block, learn the drill, attend the game, play in the stands, and perform at halftime. All rehearsals are MANDATORY.
· Sideline Squad – Same as “Marching Group”, but instead of marching in the block at halftime, you will play from the sideline. This is a good option for those that cannot attend the Friday marching rehearsal or who do not wish to march the drill. The Saturday rehearsal is required; all rehearsals are recommended.
· Stands Only – You want to attend the game and play in the stands, but will not be on field at halftime.
· Tailgate Only – You are not able to attend the game or participate in the band, but would like to join us at the tailgate before the game.
Please note that even if you cannot participate in this year’s Alumni Band via any of the four above options, all SDMB Alumni and their families (as well as current SDMB members) are welcome at the Sunday picnic.
As has been the case for the past couple years, a longer lead-time requirement from our t-shirt vendor means we will have a short registration.
Early Bird registration prices will run through Sep 29. The prices will increase on Sep 30, so don’t delay! (NOTE: The registration site currently says the price increase is on Sep 23, but we’re getting that changed.)
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON OCTOBER 13.
We apologize for the short registration window, but we will not be able to take any registrations after Oct 13.
OCTOBER 13 WILL BE THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER.
The registration cost is $35 early bird, $45 normal (with an extra charge for shirts XXL and larger). This cost includes registration, game admission for alumni band members, t-shirt, name tag, and tailgate meal.
This year we will once again offer a “shirt only” option for those that would like a shirt but cannot participate. Also, participants have the option to purchase extra shirts. (PLEASE NOTE: since our shirt is part of our identification and our admission “ticket” for the game, extra shirts will not be available until after Homecoming. The price for extra shirts includes shipping. If you select the “shirt only” option or purchase an extra shirt, you WILL NOT be able to pick it up at check-in.)
You can purchase extra tickets to our tailgate party for friends and family for $20/each during the registration process. We may have a small number available for $25/each at Homecoming. Please note that these tickets are only for our tailgate party. They are not game tickets.
We’ll once again be sitting near the current band, but this year we will be a couple sections away. Please note that our space is limited and ONLY registered Alumni Band participants will be permitted to sit with us. If you’re interested in purchasing extra game tickets for friends and family in the adjacent section, please see the other pinned featured post by Bridget. WE DO NOT HANDLE GAME TICKETS IN ANY WAY.
ALUMNI BAND PARTICIPANTS DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE A GAME TICKET FOR THEMSELVES.
We also must remind everyone that:
NO ALCOHOL IS PERMITTED AT REHEARSALS
NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL IS PERMITTED AT THE TAILGATE PARTY
NO ALCOHOL IS ALLOWED IN THE STANDS
