KAUKAUNA – Calling all Kaukauna Band Alumni.
Do you have more than just memories from your time in the Kaukauna Band program?
As part of its centennial celebration, the band program is searching for memorabilia from its first 60 years (1926-late 1980s). Things like concert programs, recordings, personal photos and uniforms tell a story that is beyond what a yearbook can depict.
Do you have items like this that help tell the story of Kaukauna Band?
They would be a treasured part of displays at the Centennial Celebration Concert on January 13.
Items can be temporarily loaned or donated to expand the band’s current selection of memorabilia spanning the 1990s through today.
Please email KaukaunaBand100@gmail.com and drop band-related items off at the Kaukauna High School office with your name and contact information before Dec. 15.
Everyone is invited to enjoy a night of nostalgia and great music at the Centennial Celebration Concert on January 13.
Held in the Kaukauna High School commons and gymnasium, the doors will open at 6, with the concert beginning at 7.
The event includes music performed by current students and band alumni, world premieres from two composers, historic displays, band-themed activities and merchandise, special recognition of Kaukauna Band Alumni, a historic rendition of the school song, and the official Centennial Celebration Photo. Kaukauna Band Alumni are encouraged to RSVP for the event at https://forms.gle/f74s9RxjrRZ4BDE38.
For 100 years, the Kaukauna Band Program has provided generations of students with memorable, high-quality musical experiences. Whether marching in local parades, performing in concerts, or traveling across the country, participation in band creates lasting memories, develops lifelong skills, and fosters a strong sense of community.
The centennial celebration will honor the program’s rich history while looking ahead to its next century of excellence.
