Purdue Band & Orchestra Alumni Club

The Purdue Alumni Marching Band will NOT be returning the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade or the INDY 500 race this year.

We regret this action had to be taken but…based upon the high standards we have enjoyed as alumni members of the “All American” Marching Band we are not comfortable participating with a less than top quality product for the 100s of thousands of people who will see the parade and race festivities.

Those who have registered will be contacted individually to discuss their options relative to their commitment to the event and the Purdue Band Alumni Club.

We have established an email address so you can ask questions nd receive answers on a more personal basis than the Facebook page.

Have a question? Suggestion? Want to volunteer?
