Illinois Concert Bands Alumni Reunion
Illinois Bands regrets to inform you that the Illinois Concert Bands Alumni Reunion scheduled for June 6–7, 2026 is being rescheduled to 2027. Unfortunately, we have run into some unanticipated and immovable conflicts. We are sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment. We are already working on identifying a new date for next year.
For those of you that have already registered, a refund will be processed to the card used for registration. You will receive an email notice when it is processed.
We hope you will all use this extra time to rejuvenate your chops! As soon as we have a new date for the reunion, we will share that with all of you. We look forward to all of you coming to campus then so we can celebrate our shared experiences together.
Thank you for being a part of the Illinois Bands community!
