Now that you’ve had a full day to recover from the heartbreaking 21-17 loss to Michigan State, it’s time to relive the other, more successful parts of Homecoming weekend.

One of the more notorious Homecoming traditions is the Alumni Blue Band performances. More than 300 Blue Band alumni returned this year to perform in the parade and at the football game.

Another exciting moment during the parade is the longstanding tradition of announcing the upcoming year’s THON theme. THON 2019 will be (drum roll, please) “Shape The Moment.”
