Overview

Why We're Getting the Band Back Together

The Mission

Ten years ago, we did something most teams only dream about. We won it all. Now it's time to celebrate the decade that followed — the careers built, the families started, the stories that only make sense when you're back in a room together.

This trip is for the players, coaches, and the tight-knit circle who lived every moment of that championship run. No agenda, no pressure — just the same squad, reunited.

Important Notes

Read Before You Pack

A few key things to know before the weekend kicks off. Nothing too serious — we just want everyone on the same page so we can focus on the good stuff.

1

👔 Dress Code

Night 1: Casual — jeans & a clean shirt. Night 2 (Team Dinner): Smart casual — no sweats, yes to Pioneers gear. Think "you're proud of where you went to school."

2

💳 Payment Expectations

Group hotel block requires a credit card at booking. Shared activities will be split evenly via Venmo/Zelle. No one gets left out for cost — talk to an organizer privately if needed.

3

📅 RSVP Deadline

We need a headcount to lock in reservations, room blocks, and activity slots. RSVP by [INSERT DEADLINE] — don't be the teammate who costs us a table.

4

📋 General Vibe

This is a celebration, not a planning meeting. Come ready to laugh, tell stories you've told a hundred times, and make a few new ones. Leave the drama in 2015 where it belongs.
