Once checked in, you must wear your lanyard as this is needed for entry into the music buildings and into the closed rehearsal at the stadium. The 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 KRH. Please enter through the WEST doors!

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 KRH in the lobby following outdoor rehearsal.

Instrumentalists meet for a final rehearsal of the music in KRH.

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.

You may leave your cases and personal belongings at KRH, but please know the building will be locked with no way to get in until after the game!

Line up in parade formation to march down to Memorial Stadium- please listen to drum majors and GTA for further information about location! 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. 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.
