Return to Neyland Stadium and join fellow alumni of the Pride of the Southland Marching Band! The 415-member-strong University of Tennessee Marching Band and one of the largest alumni bands in the country will take the field, celebrating 156 years of The Pride with a Salute to Service halftime show.

NEW FOR 2025: All alumni band members must register individually, including married couples. This is to ensure an accurate count for T-shirts and charting. In addition, alumni band members will have access to extra tickets for family members. These tickets are intended for registered marchers who wish to sit with up to three family members in the stands separate from the alumni band. These tickets must be purchased through UT Athletics. The ticket link will be shared in the confirmation email upon registration.

Registration Options for Band Alumni:
Marching Ticket: $80 for March, Commemorative T-Shirt & (1) Football Ticket: Football tickets purchased through this registration will be in the alumni band section (next to the Pride) and will be assigned according to instrumentation, so the alumni band may play in the stands with the Pride. Due to high demand for tickets, only 340 tickets will be available for purchase in our section. One ticket is allowed per registrant on a first come, first served basis. OR $80 for Non-Marching Stadium Performance, Commemorative T-Shirt &(1) Football Ticket: The Band is allowing participants with physical limitations to play an instrument from the stands. This will not involve marching to the stadium or the halftime show. Ticket does not include lunch.

Marching Ticket—No Football Game Ticket: $40 for March Only & Commemorative T-Shirt: Option intended for alumni using personal football tickets who do not want to sit with the alumni band. Ticket does not include lunch.

Additional Options:
1. BBQ Luncheon: $15 per person. Everyone who wants to eat needs a ticket (Marchers, spouses, kids, friends, etc.). More information will be available after registration closes.
2. Meal Sponsor: Help sponsor a $15 meal for the band with your contribution. Your donation will go towards providing a game day meal to a Pride of the Southland Marching Band member.
Please Note:
$5 of each registration is a non-refundable, tax-deductible donation and will benefit the UT Knoxville Band Alumni Support Fund.
All participants must have a football ticket to enter the stadium whether sitting in the band alumni section or not.
