The Marching Blazers are hard at work preparing for one of the most highly anticipated moments in UAB history. With #TheReturn of UAB Football, our band will not only sound our best—we will look our best—when the UAB Blazers take on the Alabama A & M Bulldogs at Legion Field on Saturday, September 2, 2017.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’ve raised $50,095 toward our goal of $70,000 to fund new uniforms for the Marching Blazers. To be ready for #TheReturn, we need to hit our goal by midnight on Friday, March 31.
*Incentives will be handled by the Annual Giving Office after the close of the project. All gifts will be designated to the Sue Samuels Marching Band Excellence Fund which goes to the area of greatest need (which at the time is uniforms).
