Today is the main day of Homecoming weekend, and so far, there have been no major reports of large gatherings or crowds by any law enforcement agencies in Indiana County.
Today’s events will include the traditional Homecoming Parade in Downtown Indiana. If you are unable to attend the parade, you can watch it on the Renda Digital TV channel by going back to the homepage and clicking on the video link. This year’s parade will feature 83 marching units this year, which represent four floats put together by members of the Greek Life community, numerous IUP groups, eight marching bands including the IUP marching band and other groups. The parade starts at 10:00.
After the parade, there will be the Alumni and Friends Crimson Huddle at the KCAC which will act as a pre-game gathering for many university graduates and performances by the IUP Marching Band, the IUP Cheerleaders and the band Steel City Yacht Club. As part of the event, the class of 1972 will be honored for the class’ 50th anniversary.
The Homecoming football game will start at 2:00 at George P. Miller Stadium, and that game will be heard on U-92.5 FM starting at 1:30 with the pre-game show.
