Typical Homecoming Gameday Schedule

Because gametimes are set by TV, typically 11 days prior to Gameday, and sometimes only 5 days- we are often operating on a flexible schedule.  As soon as gametime is set, we will post the finalized event schedule on the website.  But the general framework will look like the following:

Saturday AM:

 - 4:30Registration & Instrument Checkout at the Couch Building
 - 4:15Warmup and rehearsal usually at the Couch Building
 - 3:15

Marching assignments for PreGame drill

 - 3:00Leave rehearsal area and head to Campanile area for Pre-Game Meal.
 - 2:45

Eat Pre-Game Meal (usually near Campanile)

Depending on the time of day, this will be breakfast or lunch.  We generally try to have a menu that everyone can deal with.

 - 2:00Alumni Band Performance at Campanile behind Student Center
 - 1:15Tech Band arrives at Campanile for warm-up and joint performance
 - 1:00Leave for Library fountain
 - 0:45

March Down the Hill /Stop on stairs before entering stadium.

The Alumni Band forms up behind the regular band and we follow them down The Hill.  When we get to the bottom we will circle around and form up in front of the band.  After we play Ramblin' Wreck, we will follow the band into the stadium.

Pregame performance to West Stands

The members of the Alumni Band who wish to march on the field with the band will line up on the sideline and march onto the field for our portion of the Pre-Game show.  After Pre-Game we make our way to our sets next to the band.

Kickoff

We spend our time in the stands playing alongside the regular GT Band and enjoying the game.
