Game Day Schedule

Check in outside WMB to pick up your field pass and meal ticket if purchased. If you checked in on Friday night you can skip this line.

Reserved instruments can picked up inside Kimball Recital Hall.

Halftime music and fight songs along with flag line cheat sheets will be provided only to those who have registered. The email with the download link will be sent about a week or two before the reunion. You MUST bring your music with you as it will not be provided.

Once checked in, you must wear your lanyard as this is needed for entry into WMB and into the closed rehearsal at the stadium. You can only enter WMB through the southwest doors to pass security. Other doors are locked for security of the building and safety of the students. Only registered alumni will be on the security list. Family and guests will not be allowed in the building.

Instrumentalists will meet to rehearse music in 116 WMB. Please leave cases in the atrium.

Flag Line and Twirlers meet on the east side of Memorial Stadium where they’ll meet with the captain/rank leaders of the current line to learn the routine.

THIS IS A CLOSED REHEARSAL and not open to the public! This means if you have family or guests with you for the day, they will not be able to enter the stadium for rehearsal. YOU MUST WEAR YOUR LANYARD TO ENTER THE STADIUM. The gate will be locked once the alumni have entered. If you are late, you will NOT be able to enter.

Once inside the stadium, wait on east sideline until your section is called to the field. Once placed, the Alumni Band will exit the field to practice the entrance and exit from the field for halftime, as well as practice our music with the current band. This rehearsal should last about one hour. If you are sitting in the stands and need to store your instrument during the game, please leave your case under the Southwest corner of the stadium (near the first aid station) after rehearsal- it will be safest in its case during the game.

Optional Boxed Meal — must have ordered and paid in advance. Alumni will be able to pick up at WMB in the cafeteria following outdoor rehearsal.

Instrumentalists meet for a final rehearsal of the music in 116 WMB.
Flag line and Twirlers can wait in the atrium where you can air flag. There is not space for a final rehearsal outside.

Percussion will leave last half of warm-up to join CMB Percussion for Sheldon performance.

Line up in parade formation to march down to Memorial Stadium on the EAST SIDE OF SHELDON. We will leave when the CMB begins ‘Hail Varsity.’

When not performing on the field, the Alumni Band will sit on the sidelines on the east side of the field or in their stadium seats. Flags will be stored with the pit equipment outside the Red Cross station.

New 2025 – Memorial Stadium is No Re-Entry. If you leave the game early, you will only have access to WMB for about 30 minutes past halftime. You are responsible for returning rented equipment and instruments.

Following the game, the alumni band will line up on the field to march back to WMB following the CMB’s post game performance. Alumni flags will line up behind the current flags to perform with them for the CMB post game performance.
