What is a traditional JSU band event that often includes alumni participation?

The Homecoming Reunion is a traditional event for the JSU band that prominently features alumni participation. This event typically serves as a celebration of school spirit and pride, where former band members return to reconnect with their peers, reminisce about their experiences, and participate in activities that highlight the band’s history and achievements. Alumni often take part in performances, parades, and gatherings, providing an opportunity for them to share their love for the program and its traditions with current members. This connection to the past helps strengthen the legacy of the band and fosters community among current and former students.

While events like the Annual Gala and Community Festival may involve alumni to some extent, they do not specifically center around the band culture and would lack the same level of focused participation from former members dedicated to the band’s heritage. The Marching Contest, on the other hand, typically emphasizes competition rather than emphasizing alumni involvement. Hence, the Homecoming Reunion stands out as the quintessential event celebrating the historical bond between the JSU band and its alumni.
