Where your dues actually go
Your dues aren’t a Band Day fee — they cover LHAB’s costs of doing business: tax preparation, archives, web hosting, liability insurance, storage, postage, and our National Association of Alumni Bands membership. Beyond that, we support the Longhorn Band directly — funding events, food during Band Week, and contributions to the Charitable Scholarship Fund. These operating costs are separate from Band Day expenses, and your officers watch every dollar closely.
Join us throughout the year
Area groups of the Alumni Band are invited throughout the year to perform for various functions such as weddings, parties, and parades, in return for donations to the Scholarship Fund. These occasions provide additional opportunities for performing and socializing for the members who participate.
