PLAYING OPPORTUNITY: Friday, February 20th!

We have been asked to play a birthday party of a long time Longhorn fans 80th birthday on Friday, February 20th.

The guests arrive at 6:30 p.m., and the guest of honor shortly thereafter (it’s a surprise)! The party will be at the home of Don & Jean Rude (402 Hurst Creek Road in Lakeway).

Our performance will take place outside, weather permitting. The hosts will be serving barbeque and adult beverages (and they would hope everyone has a designated driver).

Directions: 620W to the City of Lakeway; turn right on Lakeway Blvd; right on Lohman’s Crossing; right on Hurst Creek Road, and their home will be on the right. It usually takes about 30 minutes from 2222 & 360 in Austin (depending on traffic) to get there.

If you are available, please contact George at utband1@gmail.com.


Big Bertha is on Shipping Wars!!!

Tune into A&E on Tuesday, February 24 to see Big Bertha on Shipping Wars! They were one of the many moving parts in getting her to London. Watch for your friends and former LHAB's presidents on the show. We're proud of their volunteerism to our organization and we thank you for your efforts!

You can still help defray the cost of Big Bertha's voyage by making a donation.  The newly rechartered Longhorn Band Foundation is the 501(c)(3) non-profit entity that can accept your donation for this purpose.  A receipt will be sent to you documenting your gift for your tax records.  Make your check payable to the Longhorn Band Foundation with a note for Bertha's trip, and mail it today to:
