HIGHTY-TIGHTY HOMECOMING
October 9 - 10, 2009
For thirty-four years, the Highty-Tighty Alumni have been participating in Virginia Tech’s Homecoming weekend by marching in the downtown parade and at the pre-game show, joining the present Highty-Tighties on the field. It’s a great time for all who have lived the Highty-Tighty experience to come together, not only to enjoy the opportunity to march again as a band, but to also reflect on what it means to be a Highty-Tighty.
In addition to the parade and game performances, there is the annual banquet and general meeting of the Highty-Tighty Alumni, Inc. at Owens Banquet Hall. It doesn’t matter if your musical skills have diminished, or even if you can’t play your instrument any longer, all Highty-Tighty alumni are enthusiastically invited to come join us for all homecoming events. We have alumni from all classes, dating back to 1943, who march and reunite with us each year. Highty-Tighty Homecoming is a great time to meet old friends and support the organization that has meant so much to us since our days on campus. Last year’s homecoming was the biggest gathering of Highty-Tighty alumni ever, and we want to make this year’s just as big.
