Oregon Marching Band Reunion Weekend 2026
Return to Autzen for the OMB Reunion with music, memories, and Duck pride.
Calling all Oregon Marching Band Alumni! It’s time to return to Eugene and bring the sound back to Autzen!
Join fellow OMB alumni for a spirited weekend of music, memories, and Ducks football as we reunite for the 2026 Oregon Alumni Marching Band Reunion. Whether you marched five years ago or five decades ago, this is your chance to reconnect, relive the experience, and perform once again in front of Duck fans.
Weekend highlights include:
- Friday Evening Reception hosted by the School of Music and Dance—connect with fellow alumni, faculty, and friends
- OMB Alumni Tailgate, where you can gather with bandmates before kickoff for one of your favorite reunion traditions
- Game Day Performance Opportunity, where you can join the band on the field at Autzen during the Oregon vs. Nebraska pre-game and halftime performances
Come back to campus, reconnect with your band family, and help us welcome Big Ten opponents the Ducks way: with energy, pride, and our unmistakable Oregon spirit.
