Leaky Bugle | December 2024

Hello Fellow Bearcats,
Another Homecoming has come and gone, and we hope those that joined in the festivities this year had as much fun as us all on the Board of Governors! 

With so many different things happening this season, we wanted to revive our Leaky Bugle newsletter as a way to share information and provide updates to you. You'll find at the very top of the newsletter information on today's Giving Tuesday! We hope you will consider donating to the Bearcat Bands Instrument campaign today as we continue putting quality instruments into the hands of each and every student. Many thanks to those who have already donated, and continue to donate to this campaign! There is a link in the newsletter, as well as here, to the Giving Tuesday donation site.

Thank you all for your continued dedication and support and wishing you and your families a wonderful holiday season!

Band alumni, 
The past few months have been a season of planning and preparation for the UCBAA. Thank you all for your warm welcome of our newest board members. Also, another big thanks to the AMAZING pep band we had for the men's basketball game on December 29! As the ice starts to thaw and we inch closer to March Madness (fingers crossed for the 'Cats), our board wanted to send an update on some upcoming initiatives. 
Football Spring Game | April 13
​We are gauging alumni interest to participate in some way during the football program's spring game on April 13. While the time is not yet set, our board is hoping to start a fun annual tradition for alumni band members at this event with enough interest. We will not be limited by seating arrangements or other constraints as we are during homecoming, and your friends and family would be welcome to sit nearby in the stands.
  • Send us your interest using our online poll - can't make it, interested in a tailgate / hangout before or after the game, interested in playing with the student band (would require a prior rehearsal), interested in both opportunities
Day of Giving | April 9 - 10
The Day of Giving is one of two opportunities that the UCBAA uses to coordinate donations to the Bearcat Bands and increase our monetary impact for the CHARGE Into the Next Century Instrument Campaign. To date, over $400,000 has been raised for instruments, from larger instrument sponsorships to small, individual donations. On behalf of the band program, THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated to this historic campaign to put a quality instrument in the hands of every band member.

This year's Day of Giving spans April 9 to 10, from noon - noon. We hope you will once again help us dominate the leaderboard by giving a gift using ambassador Natalie Ochmann's unique giving link--by donating in this way, we have an opportunity to win thousands of additional dollars for the Bearcat Bands. 
  • Let us know if you plan to contribute on the Day of Giving! We can coordinate the date and time where your contribution will have the most impact.

​And make sure you watch our Instagram and Facebook group for more notifications day-of! 

Contact Information Update
​Don't know if we have your most up-to-date contact information? If you've moved, gotten married, changed your phone number in the past few years, you may not be hearing from the UCBAA. We have a lot of fun events in the works this year and we'd hate for you to miss out on the information.
  • Please use our online contact information update form to stay in touch!
Upcoming Goals
Over the past few months, our board has refined its goals for 2024 - check out our social media post with highlights. Among our ambitious goals:
  • Encouraging 300 members to participate in homecoming 2024, and 50% of the upcoming TUCBIDG graduates
  • Engaging more members in committees and special projects, especially our tailgate and gameday pep band
  • Launching a spring membership campaign and signing on 20 members (who are not graduating this year) who have not joined in recent history.
  • ​Fundraising for the CHARGE Into the Next Century instrument campaign and dominating the leaderboard on university giving days
