For over 100 years, the NIU Huskie Band along with the Silverettes, Color Guard, Flags, Mascots, and Twirlers have wowed crowds all over the country with our music and performances. We've supported our school, athletics, and programs and have been an exciting part of NIU history. During our college days, we worked hard and were the heart and the "Pride of the Midwest". After graduation, we became Alumni to our great school.
As Alumni, we still embody all of the spirit and pride we had before but, we've lacked organization as a group. Now, the Alumni Band has a new home here at NIU. With the aid of the NIU Alumni Association, a group of band members spanning decades of the band have come together and helped form an Alumni Affinity group for the band. It's called the NIU Huskie Marching Band Alumni Council.
The Alumni Council is working on behalf of all former members of the band to support the interests of the NIU Huskie Marching Band and advance the interests of Marching Band alumni.
