Pregame Parade (optional) 3:30pm
Our team has been invited to march in the pregame parade alongside the Rutgers Spirit Program and Marching Scarlet Knights! If you can attend the pregame parade, we will meet at the North Gate Plaza at 3:30pm and dancers will walk over to the parade staging area. The parade marches through the yellow lot and down Scarlet Knight Way (where the new Rutgers Boardwalk is located). After the parade, we will meet parents near the stage across from the Block R Party.
Pregame rehearsal 5-5:45pm
Following the parade and Rutgers Spirit Teams' performance at the Block R Party, we will walk over to the practice bubble for a pregame rehearsal.
After rehearsal, dancers are released to their parents/chaperones (coaches have game day responsibilities and will not be able to watch Junior Team members during the game). Please enter the stadium, enjoy the pregame show, and cheer on the Scarlet Knights for the first half of the game! Parents/chaperones are responsible for dancers' tickets and entry to the stadium.
Halftime Performance:
Dancers will come down to the field entrance at the bottom of section 101. Please meet at this location with 7 minutes remaining on the clock in the 2nd quarter. Only dancers will be escorted onto the field for their performance. After the performance, dancers will be brought to the top of section 101 to be picked up by parents. The performance will face the south end zone (student sections 136-139) at the start of halftime.
