The WVU Alumni Band Inc. is excited to announce that we will be attending the Gold-Blue game this year on April 23, 2022, to participate in the stands with The Pride of West Virginia. We are looking forward to starting a new tradition of playing during the Annual Spring game. This will be an event that you can share with your families.

Please plan to wear a gold short or long sleeved shirt and dark blue pants or jeans. The shirt should be family appropriate. We will receive a schedule and music closer to the date from the Band office.

Tickets for the Gold-Blue Spring Game are $10 and can be purchased in advance from WVU here.  A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit WVU Medicine Children’s. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate the day of the game.

We ask that you please register here as the band office needs to have a count of all those attending. Any updates for the event, including the schedule, will be sent to only those registered.

Rental equipment will be free and can be secured during registration. Please reserve your equipment by Friday, April 15, 2022. After that date we cannot guarantee availability.

We hope to see you there!
