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" side will go up the stairwell to Section 100 seats.
For those Alumni Band members that have their own seating tickets may exit the field after pregame via the stairwell closest to their seats. The instrument must exit the field with the member.
Please do not go any other way to get off the field than what is set for each side of the field.
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.
