The Redcoat Band Alumni Association (RBAA) will host the largest instrument fundraising event in the 105-year history of the Redcoat Band on Friday, Oct. 15 at 6 p.m. at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education. 
For the past ten years, registration has been handled online, with confirmations emailed to the current email address on your profile. If you have participated in Homecoming before, you have a profile on this site. During the registration process, you will confirm or change your current contact information. 
In order to perform, you must have a game ticket to get ino the stadium and a current nametag to get on the field. The UGA Athletic Department is again cooperating with us and offering a block of tickets for purchase. If you have a game ticket, you need not order through this registration process. Performer Tickets and Family tickets are available for $48 ($45, plus a $3 charge to partially offset Homecoming items like nametags, postcard mailings and the "How Sweet It Is" dessert function after-the-game). If you have your own game ticket, your registration will add the $3 to the amount due. Checks must be received for all tickets by August 31, 2010, or your ticket reservation may be cancelled.
Musicians - Bulldawg Red shirts and black slacks (not blue and not jeans). Comfortable shoes (preferably black), 2010 nametag, and an optional Dawg hat of your choice. 
If your plans change after purchasing tickets, we will be making a posting available on the web site for Redcoat alumni needing to buy or sell tickets for Homecoming. We will also have a Swap Table available the morning of the reheasal for your convenience to buy or sell game tickets from the alumni block. 
Event: BBQ lunch provided by Athens-based Jot Em Down Barbeque - includes BBQ, Stew, Chips, Potato salad, Cookies, Sweet and Unsweet Tea, Water.
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! 
Our plan is to have all these items ready to download ahead of time so you can practice and be prepared for the rehearsal. Our plan is to have rehearsal assistants on the field to help guide us to our proper positions on the first "run through".
Since the game time can be controlled by the TV coverage, the schedule will be posted later. For a 1pm game the morning rehearsal will start at 7am.

On the web site, you will be recognized immediately as a Supporting Member with your donation through the registration process. This donation is not required to perform in the Homecoming activities.
