Homecoming is our signature event! Each year, the SU Alumni Band joins the Pride of the Orange on the field for the pregame show! We hope you are able to join us!

As Homecoming comes closer, we will keep this page updated with the latest news! Please keep checking back!

Latest news

(updated September 19, 2008)
  • Slight change of plan: my wife decided not to make the trip, so I'll be going solo. As a result, I will not be staying at the Super 8, so don't look for me there!

    Also, if anyone wants to know my whereabouts this weekend, I posted my most recent itinerary to my blog. Feel free to check it for updates!

  • Rehearsal will be at 7:30 Saturday morning, September 20, in the Dome. Please be there by 7:15 AM. Instruments and music will be handed out at this time. Also, if you ordered shirts and/or tickets, I will hand them out at this time as well.

    For more information, please visit the SUMB schedule and the SUMB announcements pages. Note that any information on the SUMB pages supercede any info on this page.

  • After the game, please join us on the field, regardless of whether or not you marched pregame, as all band members, active and alumni, sing the Alma Mater! This is a tradition that started a few years ago, and I'm happy to see it going! If the football team doesn't give us a reason to stay until the end of the game, perhaps this will!

  • I am also trying to resurrect the band's postgame tradition of meeting at the Varsity, win or lose! Hope to see you there!

  • We have around 20 people marching pregame for Homecoming! If you have not already done so, please return the 2008 Homecoming Reply Form! If you emailed me your RSVP, you're all set! Return your form with your check as soon as you are able. You do not need to send the check by the (now past) due date!

    As usual, if you have any questions, please email me!

  • If you need an instrument, please email Sky Harris.

  • If you need music, it can be downloaded from the SUMB music site. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the pages.

  • The game vs. Northeastern is on September 20. According to the SU Athletics web site, the game is scheduled for 3:30 pm.

    For further information, view the official Homecoming web site!

  • The SUMB schedule is also available online. This site will likely have the most up-to-date info regarding rehearsal and game times.

  • Music is now downloadable online! Click here for the SUMB music download site! (Note: you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files.)
