Tickets for the Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech football game are $50 each using the Highty-Tighties Alumni promotional code when purchased directly through the Athletic Department. The link will be provided in the confirmation email upon registration.
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 homecoming parade and pre-game performance requires proper attire: khaki pants/skirt (no shorts please), white shirt (with VT tie for men), official HT sweater or new HT pullover, and HT hat. Hats are $10 and can be purchased through the registration process.
Registration ends ONE WEEK prior to HT Reunion on 18 October 2024, so don't wait! 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.
