It's time to head Back to Boulder!
Homecoming Weekend is October 26 - 27th. Come cheer on our Buffs and reconnect with your band family!
We're ready to make this our biggest Homecoming yet, with plenty of options to make the weekend work for you. Come play in our annual Alumni Band, or just bring your friends and family to the Stampede, pre-game Reunions tailgate, and more. We have discounted football tickets for everyone, whether you're excited to play with the band or just planning to watch the Buffs take on Oregon State!
As in previous years, registration and purchase of a football ticket are required for participation in the Silver Buffs Alumni Band at the Homecoming game. Playing with the Alumni Band is optional, but all attendees must be registered or you may not be admitted to the events.
Hard deadline for purchase of football tickets through us is October 7th.
Deadline for Alumni Band registration is October 14th. The game time is expected to be released by the 14th.

Changes this year:
Alumni will not be able to play in the stampede on Friday night this year. The 270(!) member GBMB is already challenged to fit between the intersections of Pearl Street to perform, so it is not feasible to add Alumni.
The Reunions Tailgate (new last year) is now being held in the Indoor Practice Field (right next to Folsom, formerly Franklin Field). Come join us, rain or shine, for this great tailgate!
Our informal get-together after the stampede will be held at a new venue. Stay tuned for the annoucement of where we'll be meeting Friday night.
