DETAILS OF EVENTS:
MTA Homecoming Kick-Off Social: The social is the pre-homecoming kick off to our homecoming week. The social is the Saturday before homecoming. Alumni will pay for their own food, drinks, etc… I will create an event for this event. A mandatory head count is required from B.B.’s.

Meet & Greet (MTA and band students): The Meet & Greet is Monday of homecoming week. Initially, I wanted to get sponsorship for this event but had to put plans on hold which affected the time I had to get sponsorship. I’m asking alumni to please donate food items for this event for this year only. I estimate that we will be feeding approximately 100 students. Food must not be home made, but store-bought (school rules). I will create an event for this as well for anyone who would like to donate. A list of items that you can donate will be posted on the Meet & Greet event page.
Event (TBD): Initially I’d plan this day to be a fundraiser in conjunction with the band. Checking to see if a fundraiser is still being planned. If not, we can decide if we want to do something for this day. It would be the Wednesday of homecoming week.
T-SHIRTS: I’m completing the design for a commemorative shirt this year. (I’ve attached the mock up). I'm finalizing the price. I’d like to keep the price at $10 but it may be slightly more (trying to keep it to no more than $15). Price increase would be for this year only.
DUES: Dues are $10. Alumni will be able to pay online and arrangements will be made to have payments brought to the band room. [NOTE: Since we had a time with some paying dues and t-shirts at the same time last year, going forward alumni will have the option of paying everything at once or separately.]
HOMECOMING PROTOCOL: I’m waiting on confirmation from Jamaal about alumni participating (marching) with the band. He has to present it to Mrs. Maxwell first.
HOMECOMING GAME TICKETS: To be sure that all alumni who are participating/marching with the band are covered, I am working on giving you the option of pre-purchasing your game ticket. This option is only for those who are financial and financial members who are marching with the band ONLY. Tickets are $6.
**When I finalize the t-shirt price and pre-sale of tickets, I will post and give the link to online payment. Money deadline will be posted then as well***
I will update with more homecoming protocol once I get word from Jamaal.
This information will be posted on our blog, linked on Twitter, and emailed. Please share with fellow alumni.
