We will play the Alma Mater and National Anthem together in place. \u00a0Immediately after the National Anthem, we will play Sons of Marshall twice through (taking the repeat) from the beginning. At the beginning of the second time through, the 2026 Marching Thunder will move down the field toward the north end zone and the Alumni Band will come straight off the field. After Sons of Marshall, we ask that you immediately clear the field and find your seats.

What we CAN do is provide percussion\/battery equipment and possibly sousaphones.
