Govenaires Alumni Group

Family. Fun. Forever.

The Govie Alumni Group is for all Govenaires Alumni, whether you marched 1 season or 20. We organize social events and fundraisers to support the work of the Alumni Group and the marching members of the Govenaires Drum and Bugle Corps.

Mission and Goals

Family. Fun. Forever.

Our goals are to provide opportunities for alumni of the Govenaires to connect and socialize, and to support the marching members of the Govenaires Drum and Bugle Corps.

Socials

The Govie Alumni Group hosts social events to encourage alumni connections! Some of our past regular events include a "Meet-Your-Alumni” party where we provided dinner for current corps members, happy hour gatherings at bars in St. Peter, Mankato, and the Twin Cities area, Zoom socials throughout the pandemic, and many more.

If you’re an alumni, stay connected with the Govenaires by emailing us on the alumni contact page and/or follow us on Facebook. You’ll receive our bi-annual newsletter and information about upcoming events!

Currently, we are focused on trying to collect stories from alumni about their time in the corps as well as archive photos and other corps memorabilia. Share your story on the 100-year Celebration page.

Supporting the Govenaires Drum and Bugle Corps

The Alumni Group supports the marching members of the Govenaires through providing scholarships to a marching member, and through encouraging other donations to the Govenaires. For several years we ran a fundraiser selling sweet corn in Minnesota Square Park on the 4th of July. In 2020, we replaced that fundraiser with a volleyball tournament. In 2024 we began hosting puzzle competitions. Money raised from these fundraisers goes toward scholarships and other support for the corps and alumni group.
