Events

As many of you know, the CU winter break is upon us and while many current CU "Buff" Basketball Band students will be out of town during this time, Men's and Women's home basketball games will still take place in the Coors Events Center!

This of course, provides opportunities for band alumni to return to Boulder to play in the basketball band for the games over the winter break! Your assistance is needed to fill out the basketball band the below games.

Here is the list of the Men's and Women's basketball games we will need Alumni to help cover this season:

We have needs in all sections for each of these games, and while many current band students will be in Houston for the bowl game over December 28th and 29th, alumni are invited to play at any and all of these seven winter break games listed above.

As usual, you're asked to report to Coors Events Center one hour prior to the tip-off time listed above. Attire is something CUish. Music and stands will be at the events center for your use along with a limited number of sousaphones, baritones, and mellophones.

If you're available, please consider playing in the band for these basketball games. You can notify us of your plans to participate by emailing the appropriate director listed next to each of the games above:

Matt Roeder - roeder@colorado.edu

Karen Fannin - Karen.Fannin@colorado.edu

Steve Pilger - pil1515@yahoo.com

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you again!
