Another great LHAB weekend!!
We awarded another $48,000+ in scholarships to 43 students, performed a halftime show with LHB to honor new UT President Greg Fenves and his wife, Carmen, and had a visit from the interim AD Mike Perrin to the conclusion of our practice in the Bubble! New LHB director, Scott Hanna, and his two new assistants, Ryan Kelly and Joshua Gall, welcomed us with open arms. We look forward to collaboration with them on many occasions.
Even if you were not able or chose to not attend Band Day, please respond to only two questions.
Thank you and Hook ’em!

President, LHAB
2015-2016
Happy Summer 2015 Alumni!
Your officers, directors, and trustee members have accomplished so much within the last quarter. We are sad to report we’ve had some changes within our leadership. Ben Brooks resigned as President Elect and BOT member due to his flourishing business. We are happy to report that JoLyn Peters has stepped up to fulfill his term for this year. Please welcome her with open arms. We are excited to have her leadership.
Here are a few quick updates as to what’s new in our organization.
Band Day weekend, Sept. 18-19th, is quickly approaching and your officers plan to have registration open by mid August. Another Band Day Blast will be sent along with all the information you need. Check back with us in about one month.
Thank you for your continued support with LHAB. We appreciate all of you and will see you in September.
Hook ‘Em,
Nefertiti Williams
LHAB President 2015

Representative Larry Gonzales (former Longhorn Band member) of Round Rock has sponsored a resolution honoring the late Vincent R. DiNino. The resolution will be read on the House Floor on Thursday, March 12 at 10:00 a.m. Present on the floor for the reading will be:
The guests arrive at 6:30 p.m., and the guest of honor shortly thereafter (it’s a surprise)! The party will be at the home of Don & Jean Rude (402 Hurst Creek Road in Lakeway).
Our performance will take place outside, weather permitting. The hosts will be serving barbeque and adult beverages (and they would hope everyone has a designated driver).
Directions: 620W to the City of Lakeway; turn right on Lakeway Blvd; right on Lohman’s Crossing; right on Hurst Creek Road, and their home will be on the right. It usually takes about 30 minutes from 2222 & 360 in Austin (depending on traffic) to get there.
If you are available, please contact George at utband1@gmail.com.
