Registration for the 2022 summer season is closed.
Alumni Summer Band
A community concert band-style ensemble that performs several outdoor concerts in the Twin Cities area each summer. The band is composed of approximately 125 people, including current U of M students, alumni, and others that may or may not have previous affiliation with the U of M.
Rehearsal Details
The band rehearses primarily on Wednesday evenings (with one exception this year). All rehearsals are at Huntington Bank Stadium on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Parking is available right outside the stadium for $6; additional nearby parking options and public transit are also available.
Rehearsals take place outside on the West Plaza of Huntington Bank Stadium, which we will be able to access through the Marching Band entrance corridor. The entrance is on the north side of the stadium through the double doors under the "Pope" County marker, next to Gate B.
PPE Protocol
*Effective March 21, 2022: Face masks, flute masks/shields, and vocal masks are no longer required for musical activity in any setting for UMN School of Music Events. That being said, if you are more comfortable using PPE than not, you are more than welcome to do so.
