2010 Homecoming Parade

With the IU campus showing its fall colors, students, families and alumni gathered on the IU campus this weekend for various Homecoming events. Starting at 5:30 PM on Friday, the 2010 Homecoming Parade wound through the main thoroughfares of Campus. With both Third Street and Indiana Avenue closed, spectators lined the curbs to cheer on a various student organizations, clubs, sports teams, alumni, faculty, administrators and members of the Armed Services and surrounding police/fire/EMS departments.

With the excitement of Saturday’s game against Arkansas State on the minds of many, the overwhelming theme of the parade was made clear by the thunderous roar of the Marching Hundred as they made their way down Indiana Avenue, proudly announcing IU’s dominant goals for the next day’s game.

As nearly all of the official Homecoming events of this weekend were sponsored by the IU Alumni Association and the IU Student Alumni Association, the Alumni Foundations’ float was a prominent fixture in this year’s parade. Gleaming with signs, large cutout heads and advertisements for this year’s homecoming theme “Then and Now.”

With the enthusiastic support of current and past IU students, this year’s Homecoming parade was a warm welcome to a week of excitement filled sports and activities.
