We’re getting the band back together! On Friday, UVA officially opens the new Hunter Smith Band Building, a $12 million structure funded almost entirely by its namesake, who has given more than a few dollars to the University in her time. The band opens one day before the band sounds its first trumpets for the opening of the football season against William & Mary on Saturday.
UVA will host a reception starting at 4:30pm. The event, according to a media release, will feature remarks from UVA President Teresa Sullivan, Dean Meredith Woo of the College of Arts & Sciences, Rector Helen Dragas, band director Bill Pease and former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Leonard Sandridge.
