~10:30a Conclude & Lunch @ Carson Park (Alumni Association Pizza Party)

Please drive right over to Carson Park and get in line for pizza - it’s being served via buffet at a food truck. We don’t know how quickly the line will move, so we want to get the band over there as soon as possible. We have a tight window between the parade end and performance with our alumni. (Food allergy folks can skip the line and speak directly to the folks running the truck — we’ve been assured they can accommodate restrictions)

11a Football Team Arrives - cheer them on as they walk by

Time TBD (Keep an eye on Slack) - Perform w/Alumni in Lot
