Registration Link Coming Soon!

One of the greatest challenges facing us this year reflects the program's success. The Razorback Marching Band has grown to a record number of members, requiring all available seating within the band set. In addition, the space in front of the band traditionally used to accommodate alumni participants is now being used for our Gameday Experience program, which introduces prospective students to the band program and strengthens our recruitment efforts.

While this means alumni will not be able to perform in the stands during the game, we look forward to featuring our alumni performers throughout the Homecoming weekend, including the opportunity to perform with the Hogwild Band, participate in pep rallies around the stadium, and, of course, join the Razorback Marching Band on the field during Pregame. We are grateful for your continued support and understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Fayetteville!

FAQ’s 

You are highly encouraged to bring your own instrument. That is the only way to guarantee you will have an instrument for game day.

Due to a record number of members of the RMB, the University of Arkansas Bands has an extremely limited inventory of instruments available for checkout and, if available, are provided on a first come, first served basis.

Limited Availability: tenor saxophone, mellophone, trumpet, baritone, cymbals, snares, bass drums

No Inventory Available: piccolo, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor drums, front ensemble, tuba

If you need a ticket to the game, you can purchse it through arkansasrazorbacks.com using the Promo Code “ALUMNI BAND.” You may purchase as many tickets as you like. Please have your mobile ticket downloaded the day of the game.

All Razorback Alumni Band members will enter the field through Gate A (southeast corner of the stadium) with the RMB. Staff will then lead you onto the field (ahead of the band) for pregame performance.

After pregame, you will follow staff to Walker Pavilion, put your instrument away, and then make your way to a gate to have your ticket scanned for entry. We encourage you to buy a discounted ticket to the game at arkansasrazorbacks.com using the "ALUMNIBAND" Promo Code!

Free parking will be available near the band shed located in the East Baum parking lot. There will be a shuttle service running to the drop-off for registration. 

The address for the East Baum parking lot is: 1420 S Razorback Rd, Fayetteville, AR 72701

Postgame shuttles will run back to East Baum from Gate 1 located on the southwest corder of Razorback Stadium.

Razorback Alumni Band members should come prepared to play Arkansas Fight, Alma Mater, National Anthem, Tusk, and William Tell.

If you want paper music, then you will need to print and bring your own copies. You can view and download a copy of all alumni music here.

We will provide you with a Razorback Alumni Band t-shirt for the game. You can pick up the shirt:

Please wear the Razorback Alumni Band t-shirt with black pants (please no khaki slacks or jeans). The temperature might drop a bit, so you are welcome to wear a long-sleeve white or black shirt under your alumni band shirt (try to avoid a red long-sleeve shirt that will clash colors with the alumni band shirt).

You are allowed to bring a hoodie/jacket to the game, but please make sure it is black or Razorback red! No bold colors that stick out, please. Please do not wear a hoodie/jacket during the pregame or halftime performances.
