Please recycle your nametag after the pre-game performance, by dropping it in the box provided.

Those needing tickets, bring $48 cash to the SWAP table.

Checks can be collected at the registration tent.   Four new sousaphones provided by Alumni Donations in 2009
8. Welcome the current Redcoat Seniors to the Alumni Band!	When the chance arises, make our future recruits welcome by encouraging them to participate next year. It's a wonderful experience!
9. "How Sweet It Is" Dessert Social (After the game)	Redcoats, past and present, are invited to the Tate Center after-the-game to share more time and more stories together.  Enjoy some cake with your fellow performers to celebrate the Dawg win, and let the traffic get out of Athens before you leave.  There is no additional charge.  The event is included as part of your $3 participation, and will start right after the playing of Tara's Theme!
