Band Day Survey 2015

Another great LHAB weekend!!

We awarded another $48,000+ in scholarships to 43 students, performed a halftime show with LHB to honor new UT President Greg Fenves and his wife, Carmen, and had a visit from the interim AD Mike Perrin to the conclusion of our practice in the Bubble! New LHB director, Scott Hanna, and his two new assistants, Ryan Kelly and Joshua Gall, welcomed us with open arms. We look forward to collaboration with them on many occasions.

Please take about 5 minutes to respond to our short survey to help us, your officers, understand how we can improve the experience of LHAB Day and other activities throughout the year.  Follow the Survey Monkey link below to enter your responses.

Even if you were not able or chose to not attend Band Day, please respond to only two questions.

Thank you and Hook 'em!

President, LHAB

Belated London Announcements

Hi London Participants!

Two quick announcements:
  1. If you didn't pick up your personal instrument, it will be behind the Band Hall on the U-Haul from 9:30-10:45 a.m. during registration pick up. Please come claim it this morning. Once we leave for rehearsal, instrument pick up is closed.
  2. Yes, we will have the keepsake London DVD, just not on sale this weekend. I'll send another update for pre-orders via email.
Thank you and Hook 'Em,
Nef

Band Day Guest and Children Policy

In compliance with University Athletics and Facilities, it is of extreme importance that all Band Day participants adhere to the following Guest Policies:


  • All non-LHAB family members must have a ticket in order to attend the game.  (Children under the age of 2 are exempt.)
  • Non-LHAB guests/family members will NOT be able to march into the stadium with the band.  They must enter through the ticket gate with a valid ticket.
  • LHAB will NOT be responsible for escorting any guests/children into the stadium during march down.
  • All children of LHAB members must be accompanied by a non-marching adult while in the stadium and at the indoor practice facility (The Bubble).  Athletics requests that we monitor guests in order to ensure that equipment and facilities are maintained.
Thank you for you compliance and Hook 'em!
