Last year, our 21st Annual Alumni Band Reunion was a great success. Let’s make our twenty-second year even better! Be sure to read our annual newsletter that contains additional details about the reunion as well as news concerning the current AU Bands.

Please return the registration form to let us know that you will participate. Be sure to enclose a check for your dues, lunch, and tickets (if needed). There is also a space to let us know you will attend the Saturday night social gathering.

The primary key to our success in this endeavor is your participation. We sincerely hope that you can be with us to play and march again this year. We look forward to seeing you in Auburn on November 8th!
