WHY IT MATTERS
YOUR MEMBERSHIP MOVES THE NEEDLE
01
RECONNECT WITH YOUR BAND FAMILY
The relationships you built marching side by side don't have to end at graduation. Stay connected with fellow alumni, attend reunions, and relive what made those years unforgettable.
02
SUPPORT THE STUDENTS WHO FILLED YOUR SHOES
Your dues and donations fund scholarships, instruments, and experiences for the 300 students who now call the Pride home. Give them everything you had and more.
03
EXPERIENCE THE FEEL AGAIN AT HOMECOMING!
Walk back through those tunnels. Hear the roar of 85,000 fans. Every fall, alumni join the band on the field for Homecoming. (Some experiences are just worth doing again.)
"300 Instruments, One Voice"
NEVER FORGET
GRADUATION ENDS.
THE PRIDE DOESN'T.
You spent years mastering your instrument, marching in the heat of August, and giving everything to the sound of the Pride. Then one day it stopped. No more tunnels, no more cadence, and no more 85,000 fans to play for.
That chapter meant something. And the connection you felt to the music, the band, amd your teammates doesn't have to be a memory. It can be something you actively pass forward.
The OU Band Alumni Association exists so the best years of your college life become the foundation for something that keeps growing. When you join, you're not just reliving the past, but shaping what the Pride of Oklahoma becomes in the future.
THE PRRRRRIDE OF OKLAHOMA
THE BAND NEVER STOPS.
300 instruments. 86,000 fans. One tunnel. You lived it — now help keep it alive for the next generation of Sooners.

Walking back down that tunnel onto the field for pregame instantly transports me back in time. Reuniting with my PRIDE family at homecoming is a major highlight of my year.

Joining the band reconnected me with people I marched with for twenty years and had completely lost touch with. The band family is real OUBAA has let me keep my friends from that time.

Alumni band is seriously one of the best parts of having even played in the band. The connection I now have with bandmates and others who played back in the day is something you don't consider in the moment.
