To register go to: http://www.alumni.vt.edu/reunion/hightytighty/index.htm to register to attend all of the homecoming events. You can also make your request to borrow an instrument if needed. (Sweaters will not be available) You will be asked if you plan to attend band practice on Friday night, the parade Saturday morning, and the pre-game march-on with the Highty-Tighties as well as the HTA Banquet and General Meeting. Please note that we are limiting alumni to four game tickets each. If you have questions or problems, see the contact information for Col. Roszak below.

There have been some problems with borrowing sweaters over the years so that practice has been discontinued. Alumni who wish to purchase a sweater can contact Dean Miller at the taylor shop. If you don't have your monogram it could get more complicated, but let us know what you wish to do -- anything is possible if you allow enough time and of course enough $$$$$$$.

The time of the game will probably not be known until two weeks prior, so be flexible. Our Saturday activities will have to be adjusted based on when the game is scheduled. Band practice will be at the Rector Field House at 8:00 Friday evening as usual. The Highty-Tighty Alumni Party, “Gunnyfest” will follow band practice at a place to be named later. Alumni and spouses are encouraged to attend this get-together. Directions to the party will be provided at band practice. Please check here from time to time as homecoming approaches for information and schedule updates. We will keep you advised on all the activities. For anyone who does not know about the Highty-Tighty Alumni Band uniform requirements, they will also be posted on our website. Last year was the biggest Highty-Tighty Homecoming ever. Let’s do it again this year!

Please note the "uniform" for the HTAB is the same standard dress we have used for many years, and you must be in that uniform to march with us at the parade and pre-game. Anything is OK for band practice. Well, not "anything," but you know what I mean! Here are the details if you are new to the alumni band:

Male: Highty-Tighty monogram sweater, HTAB hat, white shirt with tie (preferably a hokie tie), khaki slacks, and black or dark shoes. On the sweater, the wearing of the Highty-Tighty alumni pin and other pins from you time in the Highty-Tighties and the military is not only permitted but encouraged so long as it is done in a tasteful manner.

Female: Same as for the males, but a white blouse replaces the white shirt and no tie is required.

No tennis shoes - no jeans - no silly hats, etc. We are still Highty Tighties, y'all!
