WHAT IF I ARRIVE EARLY?
Look at you, ready to get Homecoming started! If your room isn't ready, the hotel can store your luggage while you reconnect with family. The Hospitality Suite opens at noon, registration opens at 2:00 PM, and happy hour starts at 5:00 PM. Around here, Homecoming starts the minute family starts arriving!
 

WHERE DO I CHECK IN FOR THE REUNION?

First stop: Reunion Registration! Join us Friday from 2:00–5:00 PM in the hotel lobby to pick up your materials and T-shirt. After all, you didn't come all this way without saying hello!

WHAT IS THE HOSPITALITY SUITE?

Guess what's back? The Hospitality Suite! Those who know, know. If this is your first time, stop by. Think snacks, games, laughter, and plenty of "Remember when..." moments.

WHAT GAMES WILL BE AVAILABLE?

Bring your best partner and your best trash talk. We'll have Spades, Bid Whist, Dominoes, UNO, and bragging rights.
 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Friday: Boots and hats encouraged—we're rolling in like our family did in 1903 crossing into Indian Terriotory.

Saturday Day: Reunion T-shirt. No shirt? No problem. Grab a black top and hop in.

Saturday Night: After-five, formal, or black tie.

Sunday: Come as you are.
 

I DIDN'T ORDER A T-SHIRT. CAN I STILL BE IN THE PICTURE?

Of course! This is a family reunion, not a fashion inspection. Grab a black shirt and hop in!

CAN I BUY A SHIRT EVEN IF I'M NOT ATTENDING?

Absolutely! You can still represent. The Teases are everywhere. Click here to order your 2026 TFR Shirt!
 

WHAT IF I ONLY REGISTERED FOR FRIDAY?

Get ready—we heard you! Friday is one big family party. Food, music, games, trivia, prizes, and plenty of cousin time. Don't forget your boots and hats!
 

WHAT IF I REGISTERED FOR DINNER ONLY?

Come ready to celebrate! Dinner Only includes our Homecoming Dinner & Coronation, live DJ, special guest MC, and a night full of Tease-style memories.
 

ARE THERE ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS AND TEENS?

Of course! Homecoming isn't just for the grown folks. We'll have workshop sessions, games, firepit meet-ups, and plenty of cousin time for our younger Teases. After all, our future is in their hands—and one day they'll be telling the rest of us where to be and what time to show up!
 

I WANT TO VISIT BLACK WALL STREET. IS THERE A GROUP TRIP?

You know the Teases love a road trip! Plans are still in the works, but we're hoping to roll out around 8:00 AM and return by 4:00 PM. Stay tuned for updates.
 

WHAT SHOULD I DO WHILE I'M IN OKC?

Don't spend the whole weekend in your room! Explore OKC, support Black-owned businesses, or just round up a few cousins. Some of the best memories aren't on the schedule. Click here for your guide to all that OKC has to offer. To discover the rich Black  history and culture of the city including local Black restaurants visit Black OKC.
 

ARE THE SATURDAY WORKSHOPS REQUIRED?

Absolutely nothing is required other than you show up and have a good time. Attend one workshop , attend them all, or do your own thing. Reunion  about making memories your way.
 

IS BREAKFAST INCLUDED?

If you're staying at the Embassy Suites, you're in luck. Breakfast and evening happy hour are included.
 

CAN I REQUEST A LATE CHECK-OUT?

Not ready to say goodbye? We understand! Ask the hotel about a complimentary noon check-out. It never hurts to ask.
 

HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?

The Family GroupMe is our official headquarters for announcements and updates. Invitations will be sent by email and text. Not on GroupMe? Ask a cousin. Around here, somebody always knows something.

DO I NEED TO KNOW THE FAMILY EMBLEMS, CREED OR SONG?

No. But you might get extra credit if you do or win a prize.
 

WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?

Got questions? Call a cousin! Kim (Martin) at 817-209-9062 or Skip at 602-486-1932. Between the two of them, somebody knows something—and if they don't, they'll tell you who does!
