Highty-Tighty Alumni Reunion
It’s time to get excited for the 2025 Highty-Tighty Reunion!
The Highty-Tighty Reunion will be held on Oct. 3-4, the same weekend as Virginia Tech's Homecoming. The Highty-Tighty alumni band is the heartbeat of Virginia Tech Homecoming. For more than four decades, our alumni have marched in the parade and performed at the football pre-game show with current Highty-Tighties.
It doesn't matter if your musical skills have diminished, or if you can no longer play your instrument. All Highty-Tighty alumni are invited to join us. Need to borrow an instrument? You can indicate that on your registration form.
Participation in the parade and pre-game performance requires proper attire: khaki pants/skirt (no shorts please), white shirt (with Virginia Tech tie for men), official Highty-Tighty sweater or the new pullover, and Highty-Tighty hat.
- Please contact the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets tailor shop at 540-231-8009 to purchase the new Highty-Tighty pullover.
- Hats are $10 and can be purchased through the registration process.
Our reunion is a great time for all who have been a part of the regimental band to come together, to march again as a unit, and to continue to share the common experience of the Highty-Tighties.
