Battling Bands, Tailgate To Mark Game Weekend

Individual houses, final clubs and other student organizations will also set up tailgates nearby.

The Harvard Alumni Association has planned a pre-game luncheon and post-game cocktails for returning alumni.

In the past, each class had their own events, which led to mass confusion and competition over tent space, according to F. Hoopes Wampler, assistant director for classes and reunions for the Harvard Alumni Association. Several years ago, the alumni association decided to create one large alumni event.

The luncheon and post-game cocktails will be held at the Gordon Track and Field Center. A few classes--including some of the reunion classes--are having their own luncheons at other sites.

Then, of course, is the Game itself. Gates to the parking areas open at 8:30 a.m. and kick-off is at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are available throughout the morning at the Murr Center ticket office.

Following the game, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., three Harvard bands and three Yale bands will battle it out in New Leverett courtyard.

"It'll be a great collaboration of student groups," Coleman said.

Each band will perform a 20-minute set before a final face-off.
