New Athletics Policy:<\/strong> In the evolving landscape of college football, it has become increasingly common for athletics departments to pass the cost of game tickets on to band participants. This practice impacts alumni bands, \u201cBand Day\u201d events, and even current band programs. Purdue, along with most Big Ten universities, has adopted this approach. This means that, for this year and into the foreseeable future, alumni band members are required to purchase a ticket for the Homecoming game to enter the stadium and have the opportunity to perform at halftime. If you already have a ticket or are a season ticket holder, you can still perform at halftime with the band if you prefer to use your own tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have already registered but need support to update your registration, please email us at bandsinfo@purdue.edu<\/strong>, and we will be happy to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration closes on Wednesday, Sep<\/strong> 30th!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
