BRANFORD

We're in the early planning stages! Two decades have passed since we walked across that stage, diplomas in hand, ready to take on the world. Now, the Branford Class of 2005 is working together to plan an unforgettable reunion celebration.

We are planning toward our reunion being on the weekend of December 5th and 6th, 2025, with the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park's Grand Hall in Live Oak, Florida as our preliminary venue choice. Please note: all details are still being finalized and may change as we gather input from classmates.

"We're actively reaching out to everyone," says Ray Land. "Not everyone has been contacted yet, so if you haven't updated your contact information, please do in the directory. We want to try to let every classmate know about this and have a chance to participate in the planning."

The preliminary plan includes dinner, dancing, awards, a slideshow , and time to reconnect. But need YOUR input & help! Please join our planning meetings to help shape this event.

Note: These are preliminary details subject to change based on planning committee discussions and classmate feedback.

We are considering the stunning Grand Hall at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park as our venue, a premier event space nestled in the heart of North Florida. The spacious hall features state-of-the-art AV equipment, elegant décor options, and plenty of room for dancing.

Drive or walk through this winter wonderland with your classmates for an unforgettable post-reunion experience.
