TABA Membership Meeting/Reunion
Mark the date. After best intentions and a couple of false starts (with the accompanying 5 yard penalty), the Biennial Reunion of the Texas Aggie Band Association is set for November 19, the weekend of the KU game. We had originally wanted to hold this event concurrently with the CCA's Rally to the Guidons and form a band, but scheduling with TV time changes and the intense demands on the cadets on football weekend have made a lot of the activities we have done in the past unwieldy. However, we are already working with the CCA for next year and our hope is to march as a band at the 2012 Rally to the Guidons.
The reunion activities for this year will consist of a BREAKFAST BUSINESS MEETING on Saturday morning at 0730 and a MIXER for all who come in Friday night from 1900 to 2200. The venue for both events will be at the new BJ's Restaurant in the Post Oak Mall parking lot on Harvey Road in College Station. The cost for the breakfast will be $15.00 per person and the TABA will be covering the cost of the mixer on Friday night. A special thanks to Jerry Deitchle '73 and BJ's Restaurants for hosting the event and providing their food and service at a discounted amount for our membership.
We encourage you to sign up and pay in advance at www.corpsofcadets.org/tabameeting. These are always fun to renew friendships and share good bull. We will have the necessary business meeting and present the slate of new officers for the next two years. If you would like something added to the festivities or wish to add items to the agenda, please let us know and we will do our best accommodate you.

A letter from our TABA President was recently sent out to the membership explaining the TABA’s new arrangement with the Texas Aggie Corps of Cadets Association. You may view a copy of the letter by clicking HERE.
Membership renewal notices were also sent out in addition to the president’s letter. The membership renewal card indicates that you can renew your membership online at this website, however this functionality is not yet available. We are currently testing the new website to ensure the membership renewal function will work correctly.
In the meantime, you can renew your membership using the renewal card you received in the mail or via phone at 877-892-4222 ext. 805.
