Questions, asked & answered

I haven't picked up an instrument in twenty years. Can I still play?

Yes — and you won't be the only one. The Saturday halftime arrangement is written for every era and every level. Music will be mailed to you two months before the reunion, and we'll have warm-up rehearsals all weekend.

Are guests welcome at events?

Absolutely. Guest passes are included in registration — please indicate guest count on the form below.

I can't make it the whole weekend. Can I attend just one event?

Yes. Single-day registration will be available — just note your selections on the registration form.

Will there be a way to honor alumni who have passed?

The Sunday memorial breakfast is dedicated to remembering Bulldog musicians we've lost. You can submit a name and photograph during registration.

I have old photographs, programs, or recordings. Where do they go?

Our archive team will have a scanning station on site all weekend — bring the originals, leave with digital copies. We'll add the scans to the centennial archive.

Will instruments be provided for those who don't have one?

A limited number of loaner instruments will be available — please indicate your need on the registration form and we'll do our best to accommodate, prioritized in the order received.
