LHAB Blast: February 2025

Hey LHAB!

We hope your 2026 is off to a great start! This is a quiet time of year for LHAB, but read on for a few updates and announcements, and keep your eyes peeled for information on Band Day 2026 coming soon.

A huge thank you to everyone in Austin who came out to our HEB grand re-opening playing event last weekend at the Hancock location near campus. HEB has been a generous supporter of LHAB and we were honored to join up with members of the Longhorn Band to celebrate at a location where so many of us shopped during our time at UT!

Call for volunteers: The Austin Symphony Orchestra reached out to LHAB seeking volunteer assistance at ASO’s Young People’s Concerts for area 4th and 5th grade students. All volunteers will receive a complimentary ticket voucher to an upcoming ASO Masterworks performance. Dates are Feb 23, 24, and 25 from 8:30 a.m.—2:30 p.m. Volunteers will escort students back and forth from their buses to the Long Center entrance. Click here for more information and the sign-up.

The LHAB officer board welcomes Teresa Hastings, Big Flag ‘77-’82, as our appointed 2nd assistant technology officer.

That’s all for this month, but again, please keep your eyes on your inbox and our social media for Band Day info coming very soon! Have a great February, LHAB.
