Band Alumni Society Mission Statement

The University of Minnesota Band Alumni Society (UMBAS) serves three groups;

• alumni of the University of Minnesota Bands;
• the University of Minnesota Band program;
• and the people of the University and the State of Minnesota.

UMBAS provides a means for alumni of the University of Minnesota Bands to keep in contact with their fellow band members and the University through musical and social experiences.

UMBAS supports the growth and continuing excellence of the University of Minnesota Band program through scholarships, special projects, and other efforts.

UMBAS entertains and represents the University and State of Minnesota by performing at various public events throughout the year.

In service to these three groups, UMBAS seeks to achieve two goals;

• enrich the lives of students and alumni of the University of Minnesota Band;
• and carry on the traditions of excellence which have made the University of Minnesota Band the finest in the land since 1892.
