The 5th Biannual Band Alumni Reunion

The 5th Biannual Band Alumni Reunion was held on Saturday, October 31, 1998, at the Homecoming football game versus Stanford. Over 150 band alumni participated in the special Halloween halftime show that included "Ghostbusters" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller". The "Thriller" zombie dance routine was a hit with the audience.

The current band members enjoyed

performing with the alumni who helped to create the tradition of the Solid Gold Sound. The free T-shirt designed for the event by Solid Gold Sound Club member Michael Quinn and given to all participating alumni was also very well received.

Mark your calendars for the 6th Band Alumni Reunion on Saturday, November 4, 2000 vs. Stanford.

Alumni trombonist Barry Bertram, a 1935 UCLA graduate, won the award for the representative from the earliest class.
Alumni flutist Martine Micozzi is congratulated by Assistant Director Jennifer Judkins for winning the distance award for traveling from South Korea for the event.


The students went all-out for their Halloween costumes, including this "screaming" baritone player.
