The DMV Area Chapter of the Marching 100 Alumni Band Association is one of the most geographically diverse chapters in the Association, serving alumni across eight states in the Mid-Atlantic region: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington DC, and West Virginia.
Our chapter is united by a shared love for the Incomparable Marching "100" and a commitment to the mission of the Association — supporting the FAMU Band Program, fostering alumni connection, and investing in the students who carry the legacy forward.
Whether you marched in the 1970s or the 2010s, whether you played trumpet, saxophone, or carried the flag — if the Marching "100" shaped you, this chapter is your home in the DMV.
Chapter History
The DMV Area Chapter was founded by a group of passionate Marching 100 alumni living in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area who wanted to stay connected to the band family and give back to the program that shaped them.
Over the years, the chapter expanded its reach beyond its original tri-state footprint to encompass eight states, making it one of the largest regional chapters by geographic coverage in the Association.
Today the chapter continues to grow — driven by the same commitment that inspired its founding members: to ensure the Marching "100" remains Incomparable.
The Marching 100 Alumni Band Association was officially founded in Atlanta, GA with approximately 60 charter members.
Alumni in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area organize to form the DMV Area Chapter of the M100 ABA.
Larry Rentz elected President, with Jeramy Green as Vice President, George Quillet as Treasurer, and Andrea Turk as Secretary.
The DMV Chapter now serves alumni across DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, DC, and WV — continuing to grow and support the FAMU Band Program.
