For Homecoming 2003, the "OFFICIAL" on-the-field uniform includes the following items:
If you do not have any of these items listed above, please do your best to secure them by Homecoming weekend. It only takes ONE person "out of uniform" to make a difference.
PLEASE NOTE: All Alumni Band members who intend on marching in the halftime show at Homecoming, will need to have a red band jacket. Those without a jacket will not be allowed to march.
RED BAND JACKETS
Red jackets are a part of the official Alumni Band uniform sporting the current athletic logo customized for the Alumni Band. They have a lightweight poplin shell treated to resist stains and rain, a snap front, and a light weight lining.
Alumni Band Jackets are $40.00. If you wish to purchase one, please indicate that on your registration form. You can purchase a sued rental jacket for $30. Sizes are limited and every attempt will be made to fill your order.
If you have any questions about the jackets, please e-mail the Alumni Band President Jim Wilcox at jwsknk@iastate.edu.
The Iowa State University Band Department will supply the following instruments for those who will need them on Saturday, October 18:
If you need to borrow one of these instruments, please make sure you designate this need on your registration form. Due to a limited number of horns available, it is first come, first serve.
If you need to borrow an instrument other than those listed above, please do your best to try and locate a horn from another source (local schools, music shops, friends). It is very time consuming for the band staff to gather all the necessary equipment at one of its busiest times of the year. However, in the rare instance that you cannot locate a horn, please mark your registration form accordingly.
If you do borrow an instrument from the ISU Band Department, you will need to bring your own lyre, neck strap, etc. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURNING THE INSTRUMENT TO ITS PROPER PLACE AFTER THE GAME!

Friday's activities will be from 7 -11 p.m. at the Best Western Starlite Hotel, Ames, located just off I-35 on the 13th Street exit. Watch highlights from the 2002 Homecoming, meet the Executive Board candidates, and enjoy food and a cash bar.
Friday night's theme is a Beach Boys/Surfing/Wear Loud Shirts You Otherwise Wouldn't Wear In Public Night. You know you have something. Shorts might be appropriately inappropriate depending on the weather, too. You are a creative person, you can do this.
Brunch at Scheman. Please note that every person eating brunch will need a meal ticket. These meal tickets will be in the packets you receive during check-in on Friday night or Saturday morning. Your registration fee covers meals for you. Please mark the number of extra meal tickets needed on your registration form. This change in procedure is necessary since Scheman catering calculates our meal charges based on plate count.
Transportation to and from the Scheman Continuing Education Building and Jack Trice Stadium will be available on Saturday to any Alumni Band member or guest who does not desire to make the journey on foot. If you would like to reserve a seat on the shuttle, please indicate so on your registration form.
