Members of the 2011 Alumni Band performing with the Marching Mountaineers at halftime will be wearing the official Alumni Band shirt and khaki pants. This is done in order to give the Alumni Band a "uniform" appearance on the field.
The shirt for 2011 will be the same as the one used in the past two years. Plans are to use the same shirt each year so Alumni Band members will only have to make a single purchase. These shirts may be ordered online on the registration page.
All Alumni attending Alumni Band Weekend will be required to purchase a ticket for admission to the game. This includes those Alumni performing at halftime.
Tickets are for general admission seating and can be ordered on the registration form Due to high demand, a limit of four tickets per family exists. Tickets are for immediate family only (spouse, children, significant other).
Music will be provided during registration. Additional details will be posted and/or emailed.
Due to the increase in parking problems on campus, we began offering a tailgating lunch opportunity last year. This year, Bandana's will again cater our tailgating lunch. This will be held either in Rm. 119 or on the lawn between Broyhill and Walker Hall.
Appalachian State University's official ring of the Marching Mountaineers is a unique symbol which represents the bond and kinship of those who have been proudly associated with the band - now as well as the members of the Band Alumni Association.
Those Mountaineers who have participated for two years in the band have earned the privilege to wear this unique symbol of recognition which reflects your affiliation with the distinguished ASU Marching Mountaineers.
Parking has become an increasing problem on game days. The only parking is along River Street. No parking lots are available for game day. Details of parking is located here. If this changes before game day, the link will be updated and emails will be sent.
