WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

You'll arrive in your High School band uniform (whatever you'd wear for a performance).

You'll register behind (west side) the Spence Eccles Fieldhouse on Guardsman Way.

You'll be give a spot and instructions to 'march' part of the pregame show, then we'll rehearse it (trust me it's easy and you don't even have to know how to march).

After rehearsal, you'll go to the stadium and join the Marching Utes in Ute Walk and also enjoy the Tailgaters performance.

You'll return to the stadium for food - please bring money!

At 1:20pm, you'll enter the field via the Southeast gate and prepare for Pregame.

We will finish the Star Spangled Banner and you will have a chance to march the Block U as well as the tunnel for the team.

You'll return to the stands and sit with your like-section. Play as much as you'd like and enjoy your day!
