Play gigs for student scholarships.

Alumni Band Members- The UC Alumni Gig Band is a flexible option to play your instrument. Sign up to receive messages from the Board whenever gigs become available, and choose to participate if you have the time! All money that is donated toward our performances is put straight into scholarships for the undergraduate band - it's that simple.

We typically play the pep classics you know and love, with a fight song for good measure. And once in a while, we'll get together to practice, add songs to the repertoire, and socialize.
