21^st Annual Goin’ Band Alumni Day

Saturday – September 20th

Start planning now to attend the 21^st Annual GBA Alumni Band Day to be held on Saturday September 20^th in conjunction with the Texas Tech vs. Massachusetts Game. The game is currently scheduled for 6pm, please see the schedule below for the day’s events. As always, this schedule is subject to change.

Due to the increased national attention and ranking of this year’s team and expected large crowds at all games – we are instituting a deadline for pre-registration. (This is also Parent’s Weekend at Tech!)

Please be sure to register online for ABD BEFORE September 13^th. There will be a “Late Registration” fee of $25 for all registrations after 9/13.

Online registration will begin shortly… Please check back…

Please remember to register EARLY as there are limited seats available and we reached capacity last year.

Registration Fees remain the same.

Non-Members pay $25.

Foot ‘N Half Members pay only the $5 Registration Fee with a current Foot ‘N Half Membership.

Drum Major Level Members and above are admitted free with a current Membership.

***Please remember each Alumni Member is limited to a strict additional 2 guest limit – additional Guests will need to purchase tickets from the Texas Tech Ticket Office.

The Kroger’s Neighbor to Neighbor Donation Program has changed.   If you would like to participate this year please download and print this form letter.    It contains our official BARCODE.  Take this letter with you when you shop at Kroger and have the Cashier scan the barcode when they scan your Kroger Plus Card.  Then go shopping.  Kroger will write us a check for 1% of your shopping purchases.  Last year we received around $200 from Kroger.  This program runs from May 1st 2008 thru April 30th 2009.   Thanks for your support.

In case you hadn’t noticed, this website is undergoing a major re-construction. Over the next few weeks we will be developing the site, so expect there to be intermittent service interruptions. We hope to make this site as useful and vibrant as it once was, and we hope to add a few things to make it even better.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Over the next few months we will be transitioning from the old system to a new one, and the site will have various stages where it will be offline.  We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to get the site fully functional as soon as possible.
