Pregame Parade (optional) 12pm
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 white parking lot at 12pm. The parade marches through the yellow lot and down Scarlet Knight Way (where the Rutgers Boardwalk is located). After the parade, we will meet parents near the stage across from the Block R Party.
Pregame rehearsal approximately 1:30-2pm (following parade and pep rally)
Following the parade and Rutgers Spirit Teams' performance at the pep rally, 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.
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 released to parents at the entrance to the field at the bottom of section 101 (where they were dropped off).
