Students will not be released until 12:15 p.m. unless they have administrative approval. The lower east lot will not be open for student parking as that is the location floats will line up prior to the start of the parade. 

The parade route has been changed to the south side of campus, which is behind the stadium along 61st street. The parade will begin at 1 p.m. Community members that wish to view the parade should park elsewhere not on school grounds, the parking lot will not be open. 

There will be a pre-game tailgate that will be run by the booster club and the Junior Class Student Council that will begin at 5 p.m. and will end a few minutes before kick-off. There will be a recognition of previous state champions between the 1st and 2nd quarters of the game. There will also be an abbreviated halftime performance along with the crowning of the Homecoming Queen during halftime.
