Alumni Pep Band
Are you a UNO hockey fan? Have you been thinking about dusting off your old horn or drumsticks? Have you been hunting for a reason to meet up with UNO Band friends from yesteryear? Look no further! The UNO Bands are proud to welcome all of our alumni to join current UNO students in the “Maverick Machine” pep band in the stands at the UNO vs. Miami hockey game on Saturday, January 21, 2023 at Baxter Arena!
