The Cal Aggie Marching Band Alumni Association (CAMBAA) is the alumni
association of the Aggie Band (CAMB). Although our active ranks consist of
about 300 regularly participating Aggie Band alumni, our official roster
traces 1269 members back to 1929. As an official chapter of the Cal Aggie
Alumni Association (CAAA), we are its strongest and most consistent chapter.
The most visible function of the CAMBAA is to organize and maintain the Cal Aggie Alumni Marching Band (CAAMB) which traditionally makes appearances at UC Davis' spring Picnic Day, Homecoming, and the Break the Record Night basketball game, as well as periodic performances throughout the year. In 1994, the CAAMB returned from its first international performance: a fourteen-day, five-city tour of the People's Republic of China, and now is organizing as a year round marching band to provide greater opportunities for our alumni to continue playing.
The CAMBAA officially serves many other functions including providing a variety of support for CAMB alums., Aggie teams, the CAAA, the University of California and the Davis campus and community. The emphasis of our support, however, is directed toward the Aggie Band. This includes everything from arranging barbecues for Fall Retreat, helping pay for travel for unbudgeted playoff games, setting up the Friends of the Aggie Band Endowment Fund, and most recently, laying the foundation for a job outreach program to give CAMB members access to our members' diverse professional experience. Through all our efforts one rule is inviolate, that the Aggie Band be student-run (ie, run by students not alums.) so the current students can benefit from the same opportunities that we had as bandsmen.
