The West Virginia University football team has a new look this year, and so will the annual Homecoming Parade. This year, onlookers will be asked to join in the fun and”Follow the Pride.”

The parade will begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, and will travel north-south down High Street, the traditional parade route. At the conclusion of the parade, the WVU marching band will lead a fan parade of spectators back up High Street to the Mountainlair Plaza for a spirit rally, fireworks and other entertainment.

“This is an exciting time because were starting a new tradition,”said Tom Caranasos, student Homecoming Committee chairman.

Homecoming Parade applications, along with a $50 entry fee, are due in the Student Organizations Services (SOS) Office by Friday, Oct. 19.
