About the soundtrack

A reunion night without the right soundtrack is just a venue. The committee builds this list across the months leading up to July — every track that takes a Class of '96 alum back to where it all started.

A-Side

Senior Year

The hits that scored the year. Hallway radio, late-night drives, the songs that made it onto the dance floor.

B-Side

The Slow Set

The ballads. The slow dances. The songs you remember by who you were standing next to.

C-Side

South Florida

Miami Bass, freestyle, hip-hop — the regional sound that made our '96 different from anyone else's.
