Call 812-855-4822 for the ground rules.
According to Kim Quillen of the association, there are more than 100 entries already signed up, ranging from marching bands to floats to the IU football team.
The parade begins at 5:30 p.m. near the IU School of Education on Rose Avenue and will travel west on Third Street, concluding at the Sample Gates on Indiana Avenue. A pep rally on the steps of the Student Building is scheduled at 6:30 p.m.
Staff and faculty are also encouraged to attend the 10th annual homecoming brunch at the Mellencamp Pavilion Saturday, Oct. 4, at 9:30 a.m. The Singing Hoosiers will be on hand, and tickets are available by reservation ($10 adult: $6 children 12 and under).
