This Saturday at 1:30 PM, YSU's Marching Pride will perform music from their pre-game and half time shows, along with the YSU Fight Song. Members of the Penguinettes and color guard will also perform their routines, and the feature twirler and members of the drumline will also be present.

Dr. Phyllis Paul, Dean of the Cliffe College of Creative Arts, said, "Fall just isn't the same without marching bands and football games. Since we can't get together this fall in the typical ways we enjoy, a lot of folks have collaborated with us to make this year's Meet the Pride event possible. Even with the safety guidelines we're all following on campus, Dr. Payne and our students have worked extremely hard, and we're delighted that they will be able to share their talents. We are also happy that Coach Phillips and his players will be with us next Saturday. We look forward to seeing you in Stambaugh Stadium for an exciting afternoon of Penguin Pride!"

In addition to the band's show, YSU Football coach Doug Phillips will make comments and introduce YSU Football student-athletes. 

Dr. Brandt Payne, Director of Athletic Bands, added, "Meet the Marching Pride is a great day to showcase our students and student-athletes. Especially during this unique time when live events are limited, our students are eager to have the opportunity to represent Youngstown and Youngstown State University in a fun and relaxing way."

This event is free and open to the public. Physical distancing according to the CDC guidelines will be enforced and facemasks must be worn. 

Parking is available for a nominal fee in the M-82 surface parking lot across from the Watson and Tressel Training Site, which can be accessed from Service Road. The west stands will be available for patron viewing.
