Alumni
Being part of the School of Mines music family continues after graduation. Our music alumni maintain close ties, creating professional and personal networks that continue to benefit them.
Join our Alumni Friends and Choir, a vocal ensemble with a rich history of participating in campus ventures. Eight alumni singers accompanied the SDSM&T choirs on their first European concert tour in 1989, and the tradition has continued ever since. In 1993, 1996, 2001, and 2006, choirs composed of both students and alumni performed in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
Between 1990 and 2009, alumni choirs numbering between 40 and 75 singers performed at campus reunions, spring choral concerts, and special events. Alumni and friends have sung with the SDSM&T choirs in a multitude of venues, most recently appearing at the 2009 After-Hours to honor retiring Provost Dr. Karen Whitehead.
