85th Anniversary Alumni Band

Thank you to all the alumni who signed up for the 85th Anniversary celebration – registration is now closed.

2023 marks the 85th anniversary of the Massillon Tiger Swing Band, and we want to bring back as many alumni as possible to help celebrate!

The 85th anniversary edition of the Massillon Tiger Alumni Band will perform with the 2023 Tiger Swing Band at halftime on Friday, September 8.  All MTSB alumni are welcome and encouraged to join in the performance. There will be one mandatory rehearsal on Thursday, September 7.

For those choosing to perform with us, there is a MANDATORY rehearsal on Thursday, September 7th at the indoor field from 5:30-8:30pm. There will be a run-thru in the stadium Friday afternoon at 3:15, followed by dinner (provided) in the WHS cafeteria.  

There are three different options: 

  1. I want the whole experience!  March the whole show with the current band…Opening routine (Fanfare, Tiger Rag, & Carry On), followed by Massillon Will Shine, Big Noise From Winnetka, Happy Birthday, and the Alma Mater.  (MANDATORY rehearsal on Thursday, September 7th at the indoor field from 5:30-8:30pm.)
  2. I still play, but I can’t do Opening Routine anymore.  Do not march Opening Routine (Fanfare, Tiger Rag, & Carry On) – play from the sidelines. After Opening Routine, join the combined band on the field for  Massillon Will Shine, Big Noise From Winnetka, Happy Birthday, and the Alma Mater with minimal movement to some spots, but mostly park and play. (MANDATORY rehearsal on Thursday, September 7th at the indoor field from 5:30-8:30pm.)
  3. I can’t play or march anymore. Come to the dinner in the WHS cafeteria on Friday September 8th at around 4:30pm to see your fellow alumni. 

We look forward to seeing you there!  Go Tigers!
