Question About The Band For Tomorrow (Yeah, I Know)

[OUSKINS]

Weird/random question; not sure where else to ask though.... My three year old daughter loves gameday, but is too young to handle a game. She digs the band.... I know they march into the stadium, but have never paid attention as to when that is.... Can anyone give me an approx time? Thanks and sorry for the lame thread

This season they seem to be starting earlier. On average, the Pride begins its march down Boyd to Campus Corner about 1:15 - 1:20 prior to kick-off. If you are in the vicinity by 1:10pm you should be fine.

The drumline does a display 2 1/2 hours before kickoff on the east side of Oklahoma Memorial Union, and the band does a pre-game concert 1 1/2 hours before kickoff just north of Jacobson Faculty Hall.

Also, don't for get Fan Fest which opens 3 hours prior to kickoff. Inflatables for the kids and such. Appearances by Boomer and Sooner. Corner of Jenkins and Brooks.

Here's the fan guide: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/okla/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2012-13/misc_non_event/20120730_2012_football_fan_gui.pdf

OUSkins-no need to apologize. Little kids love bands and this band is our team's band so we love it too. All the info you need is above.
