Alumni
The memories and traditions that make up the Massillon Tiger Swing Band continue long past graduation. We celebrate our alumni and make every effort to keep them involved!
Alumni Band
Each year the MTSB alumni gather to form the MTSB Alumni Band! This group performs during the Orin “Dykae” Ford Tiger Band Review and provides an opportunity for alums to reconnect with old friends, make some new ones, and step once again onto the turf at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to perform a selection of school songs. The alumni band performance is always a highly anticipated event and a crowd favorite!
The 2025 Alumni Band had to be canceled due to low registration/interest. We would like to continue having the Alumni Band perform at the Band Review (mid to late September) if that is something people are interested in, but we need a big enough group to make it viable. If anyone has ideas or would like to volunteer their help in making this happen, please contact Mrs. Smithhisler. We also intend to continue having alumni join the current band at a football game on our big anniversary years. The next one will be the 90th anniversary in 2028.
If you have other ideas of ways for Alumni to be involved, please contact Mrs. Smithhisler.
Alumni Band T-Shirts
We will be wearing black short-sleeved t-shirts with the “MTSB Alumni Edition” logo on the front and your graduation year on the back.
* If you already have a Black Alumni Edition T-shirt with your year on the back, you do not need to purchase a new one for Alumni Band. *
Orders must be submitted before September 8. T-shirt orders are closed.
All orders may be picked up at the Alumni Band rehearsal on September 20.
Stay in touch!
In an effort to stay better connected with our alumni, we are putting together a registry of contact information. This will allow us to communicate alumni events and news more efficiently.
In addition to the database for contact information, we want to start an Alumni List with name, instrument and graduation year on this website. No contact information will be shared.
