When we were chartered
The Tennessee State University National Alumni Association officially chartered the chapter on November 6, 1999 as the Aristocrat of Bands National Alumni Chapter.
President Robert Smith conducted the ceremony at the Robert N. Murrell forum during the Homecoming ‘ 99 weekend. The chapter is currently one of the six special interest organizations chartered by TSUNAA. Currently, the chapters are Band, Basketball, Engineering, Football, Nursing and Omega Psi Phi.
Chapter Plan of Action
The chapter is currently operating under a five- (5) year plan of action, which focuses on five (5) service areas: The Aristocrat of Bands, the alumni, the students, the university and the community. The primary objective of the organization is to raise annual funds for band scholarships. By 2010, it is the goal of the chapter to raise a minimum of $50,000 annually to benefit the band and other programs. It is also a five (5) year objective to have 300 to 500 active members with extensions in most major cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Birmingham, etc.)
