Last Friday was full of reminiscing and good vibes to prepare for another Big Game (to keep the axe!) 🪓🐻

The 2024 Cal Band Alumni Reunion was an evening filled with music, camaraderie, and celebration of the Spirit of California. Held at the Faculty Club on November 22, the event welcomed alumni to reconnect and honor the traditions of the Cal Band.

Congratulations to this year's Tony Martinez Memorial Service Award recipient, Doug Roberts, whose exceptional contributions to CBAA, including improving Alumni Band Day logistics and securing financial stability through strategic resource management, have left a lasting impact on the organization. 🎉🎉

We also celebrated Rose Eng, our 30+ year "Banner Lady, whose tireless work to guide the Alumni Band Day Banner Kids on the field has made ABD a safe and welcoming space for our alumni's families to participate. 👏👏

The night culminated in a riveting performance by the and invited alumni to conduct a few pieces. The event was made special for alumni to meet before the Big Game and share memories, celebrate achievements, and unite in the enduring legacy of the Cal Band. Thank you to our CBAA president, Ashley Whittaker, and all our volunteers for making this Reunion one for the books! 💙💛
