Cavalier Marching Band Alumni Association

11/22/2022

As a community, we continue to process the tragic events of November 13 and mourn the loss of Lavel, D'Sean, and Devin. We hope that coming together through music, in Charlottesville, will offer an additional opportunity for us all to lean on and support one another.

The deadline to register for Alumni HOOps Band has been extended to 11:59pm ET today, 11/22. Both teams are undefeated (!!) and we are so looking forward to being back together in JPJ.

It's that time of year again! While we wish that we could cheer on our Hoos in the NCAA Tournament this year, we are still pumped for some quality college basketball. The CMBAA is hosting a bracket challenge for both the men's and women's tournaments!

🔶️🔷️ Anyone is welcome to join, and we hope that you'll consider making a donation of any size to the CMBAA to help us fund future in-person events--such as Reunions in June 🔷️🔶️

There will be prizes for the winners of both bracket challenges! Link below to join by March 17. Good luck!
