The Alumni Band Board of Directors will now be filling two open seats from the candidates that expressed interest earlier this month.

Jeff Caplinger resigned in November due to moving his family to live overseas. Sean Sawyer resigned from the board on February 13 owing to differences in the vision and operation of the board. We thank both Jeff and Sean for their time and contribution to the board over the past year.

The Board will share the names of the new Directors once they are vetted and appointed by the board in the coming weeks. Both of these seats are up for re-election in October.

Sincerely,

Al

To our WVU Band Alumni:

We are excited to kick-off our 2024 membership year! We have some exciting events you will not want to miss. 

New for this year

This year we are offering two membership levels; Pep Band Membership and Full Membership.

Pep Band Membership is for a member who only wants to play for pep band performances during the year without attending membership meetings, participating in other member only events, such as homecoming, serving on committees, or having voting rights. Pep Band Membership will be $5.00 for the year and you will be required to purchase the official Navy Blue Pep Band T-shirt.

Full Membership continues to include:

• participation in membership events, such as homecoming;
• participation in pep band events;
• participation in membership meetings, including having voting rights; and
• committee participation.

Full Membership dues are $40.00. However, if you pay your dues by March 31st, an early bird discount will apply, and the dues payment will be $30.00. The earlier you pay your dues, the more you can enjoy the events that the Alumni Band has to offer.

Membership renewal for 2024 will be processed as an "Event" from our website. Starting today, you can go to the website to process your payment. You will find the 2024 membership renewal on the homepage under "Upcoming Events or under the “Membership Payment and Event Registration Portal” tab.

We rely on membership dues to pay for general operating costs, including but not limited to:

• storage unit
• insurance
• website and database/domain
• accounting fees
• office supplies

As a reminder, any event fees that the Alumni Band takes in for events like Homecoming pay for member related event costs and do not fund our general operating costs.

We are moving toward a fully electronic payment system for dues and events.  However, if you need to pay by check, please see the mailing address below. If you have any questions while processing your membership, please contact Sarah at Webmaster@wvualumniband.org. If you have questions about your payment, please contact Theresa at TheresaSmith@wvualumniband.org.

We look forward to a successful year for the WVU Alumni Band and hope to see YOU at our next event!

Please reach out to any Board Member, Officer, or Committee Member if you have questions or suggestions to make the WVU Alumni Band better! Board Members and Committee Members may be found at our website under the “About Us” tab on the left and clicking “Board of Directors” or “Committees”.

Sincerely,

Officers and Board of Directors, WVU Alumni Band, Inc., 2023-2024
