2026 ALUMNI WEEKEND INFO
UGA Redcoat Alumni Band Day will be on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th ( 12:45 pm kickoff ) when Georgia hosts Western Kentucky Between the Hedges on Dooley Field in Sanford Stadium.
Rehearsal will be at Redcoat Field (Intramural Field #9 on Lake Herrick Drive), and then we move to Sanford Stadium for the game.
Parking will be available at the Intramural Deck. Complete Game day schedule TBA.
In-Person or Virtual Participation:
If you’re unable to be with us in Athens this year, you can still “Perform with us VIRTUALLY.”
With the payment of your $40 registration fee, you become a Supporting Member of the RBAA.
You’ll be counted as an Alumni Band Day 2026 participant, and you’ll receive your commemorative souvenir field pass via postal mail after Alumni Band Day.
Note that purchasing tickets in the RBAA band block is NOT available for virtual performers, as limited ticket availability is for IN PERSON performers and their families.
Your In-Person or Virtual Registration Link will be found only in the announcement email. (Not this web site, Newsletter or Social Media.)
To participate on the field, you must REGISTER, wear your 2026 RBAA FIELD PASS to enter the field, and wear ONLY the APPROVED UNIFORM.
Game Tickets
YOU MUST HAVE A GAME TICKET TO ENTER THE STADIUM. Once the RBAA ticket allocation in the Alumni Block is sold out, the ticket link will no longer be operational. However, other third-party sources are available for game tickets, such as StubHub, Ticketmaster, etc.
You can also check our alumni members’ Facebook Group Page under Ticket Swap. (UGA Redcoat Alumni Band Members Only).
Everyone (including babies) will need to have a game ticket to enter the stadium. Reserving game tickets in the alumni band block will be open as a part of EARLY Alumni Band Weekend Registration.
If you have season tickets or plan to obtain your game ticket elsewhere, Alumni Band Weekend Registration will remain open until a month before the game. (See Key Dates Above).
