Welcome to the Marching Mizzou Alumni Band Blog – What to Expect!

Writer's picture: m2alumnibandm2alumniband

Hello, and Welcome to our Blog! 



Marching Mizzou Alumni Band (M2AB) was founded in the 1970s by one stalwart group of marchers who wanted to keep the music going after they had left the field. 


M2AB is an affiliate of the Mizzou Alumni Association (MAA), an independent, not-for-profit educational corporation. M2AB brings together Marching Mizzou alumni to foster fellowship, support alumni and the University of Missouri, and contribute to the growth of Marching Mizzou and the broader Mizzou community.


M2AB has performed at Homecoming pre-game shows ever since, learning a “show” (consisting of marching and music) in about two hours on Saturday. The crowds — outside and inside the stadium, before and after the game – welcome and cheer us on enthusiastically.


What does M2AB do? 

  • Perform during pre-game at Reunion Weekend and other gigs within the Mizzou community and around Missouri

  • Provide scholarships for current Marching Mizzou students

  • Plan the M2AB Annual Reunion Weekend festivities

  • Organize a picnic meal for Marching Mizzou at the end of band camp 

  • each August before the Concert on the Quad

  • Participate in events with the National Association of Alumni Bands

  • Fundraise to support the success of Marching Mizzou

  • And more!


How do I join? 

M2AB is open to any graduates, current or former students of Mizzou, or anyone with an interest in the University of Missouri, its School of Music, and Marching Mizzou.


There are no dues for membership as once you graduate the University of Missouri or end your tenure with Marching Mizzou (even if a current student who didn’t complete all four years), you’re considered a member of M2AB! 


We do highly encourage all members to join the Mizzou Alumni Association to further support M2AB, the University of Missouri and Marching Mizzou. For more information about joining the Mizzou Alumni Association to help make Mizzou stronger, visit here.


Applications to join the board of directors open each spring and are due June 30. Elections are held during reunion weekend and terms begin on January 1.


What to Expect on Our Blog 


Our blog will feature information about M2AB and its efforts to support Marching Mizzou, the history of Marching Mizzou, stories of our incredible alumni and current Marching Mizzou students and staff and resources on how to support Marching Mizzou and M2AB.


In the coming weeks, we will introduce our 2025 board of directors and officers, share Marching Mizzou history and photos, share more insights into Marching Mizzou Alumni Band’s events and more.


If you’re interested in learning more about M2AB or sharing your Marching Mizzou stories with us, please send us a message or email us at m2alumniband@gmail.com. In the meantime, follow us on Instagram at @M2AlumniBand or join our Facebook group: Marching Mizzou Alumni.
