Dear LHAB Members,
A huge hello from the
band hall to the greatest alumni band in the world! I am honored and
excited to have been named the Director of the Longhorn Band, and am
looking forward to continuing our great collaborations, and
strengthening the bonds between current and former band members! We are
all one big burnt orange family!
We have a
wonderful lineup of performances this fall, starting with a pep band
trip to South Bend, Indiana where we will support our Longhorns in the
first game of the season! The following weekend we will open our home
performances with the Robinson Block/Wall-to-Wall Band and Shotgun
Texas, and a little surprise for everyone at the end!
For
Band Day, we look forward to a wonderful time together and a leisurely
late morning start to LHAB rehearsal courtesy of an evening kickoff
time! The Longhorn Band will present a show celebrating the
inauguration of President Greg Fenves, followed by the always amazing
Longhorn Alumni Band! We will then combine forces to honor President
Fenves and begin his first fall semester as president in style!
Other
performances this year will include: The Final Frontier, featuring
music from Star Trek: Into Darkness and Star Wars; LHBack to the Future,
honoring the 30th anniversary of that wonderful movie (some of us
remember seeing it in the theater!); Script Texas; and The Best of
Austin, a tribute to the music and musicians of our town!
I
am grateful for the steadfast support of our alumni, and am
particularly grateful for the professional and enthusiastic manner in
which the LHAB undertakes all of its activities. We are all going to
have great fun together!
Best to all of you, and please come to Band Day on September 19!
Hook ‘Em Horns, and Long Live LHB!
Scott Hanna
Director, Longhorn Band
