We dedicate this page to the thousands of ensemble and staff members whose talents and commitment helped shape the AAAI legacy. As former participants of the first collegiate program dedicated to preserving and promoting African American performance traditions within academic courses, you are part of a unique and special phenomenon. We thank you for your contribution, and pledge to keep the legacy alive.
Check out this page often to get alumni news and flashbacks of days when you were at IU.
