In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Spectacle In Sound, we're excited to invite you back to UDHS for a special alumni event celebrating our rich tradition of excellence, camaraderie, and music.

Alumni Gift:

On September 1, 2021, Upper Dublin was hit by an EF-2 tornado and the band's equipment trailer was destroyed. While they were able to replace it through insurance, it currently remains a plain white trailer. As we come together to celebrate and reminisce about our time as marching cardinals, we would like to give back and wrap the band trailer. A rendering of the wrap is below. It will include old logos and "Donated by the alumni of the Upper Dublin Marching Cardinals" on the back door. We are aiming for participation from as many alumni as possible, no matter the size of the gift. 

Whether you were in the band, color guard, or were part of the staff, this is your moment to relive the excitement and share in the pride of being a Marching Cardinal. We can't wait to see you there!
