• Post-Performance - After performing we will leave the field immediately. Those exiting the press box side will exit the stadium via the press box side tunnel. They will reenter at the Southeast gate and will need to get tickets scanned and go through metal detectors. They will then feed down into Section 100. Those with mobility issues could go this route to use the elevator.

  Those members exiting pregame from the "student's" side will go up the stairwell to Section 100 seats. 

  Please do not go any other way to get off the field than what is set for each side of the field. 

Halftime Performance

• About 5 minutes left in the 2^nd quarter, the Alumni Band will start down the stairwell to return to field at Section 100.  All members will reenter the field this way. If we are all not on the field by the end of the quarter, we will hold those left in the stands until after the visiting team has exited the field.

• After halftime, all members returning to Section 100 or their own seats, will exit the field via the stairwell at Section 100. Only those permanently leaving the game can exit the press box side tunnel. Once you leave there is no reentry.

For those Alumni Band members that have their own seating tickets, they may exit the field after pregame, return at the beginning of halftime, and exit after halftime via the stairwell closest to their seats. They must have their wristbands. These members who have larger instruments (i.e., tubas and drums) can be stored during the 1st half down near "The Pride" seating area. However, instruments are not allowed to be stored on the field after halftime. The instrument must exit the field with the member. 

All rental equipment must be returned to the equipment truck, behind the IPF within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the game. If you plan to leave the game early, please notify John by email or text (JohnSinsel@wvualumniband.org/304-288-0583) prior to homecoming, if possible, so that your instrument can be taken back to the IPF.
