The part of Andy Holt behind the new student union will be a walkway soon, therefore eliminating that part of the old parade route.
It already is. They could march to what used to be the corner of Andy Holt and Phil Fulmer, play to the nearly thousand people lining the street and flyover, reverse field, and match into the stadium. Stop making excuses for the destruction of tradition.
What are you talking about? They took the traditional route, turned at Andy Holt, marched over the walkway, down to Phil Fulmer, performed Salute to the Hill, then went into the stadium.

Pride of the Southland Band to take different route this weekend
It is a classy act to play the other team's fight song. What is classless is fans booing the visiting team coming onto the field.
If you don't bleed orange then get the heck off our field. They come into our house, wanting to take away what our team has worked so hard for, heck yea I'm going to boo them
Wasn't the route taken all last year or at the OK game. Glad my rants on VN had some effect. You should be saying thank-you vs asking silly questions.
How did this work by the way. And how can you salute the hill from the inside?
I agree and also stop playing the opposing team's fight song when they bring a band.
What's classless is the visiting team to come out of the tunnel right before we do, while the Pride is about to open the T. That's our tradition!! The other team could care less about our home stadium, I say stop playing their fight song.
Absolutely not. Every Pride member takes it as a point of pride to play the opponent's fight song BETTER than their band can. Then we punctuate the opposing fans' fleeting moment of happiness with C-Page (Rocky Top).
It's a special moment in football game day pageantry.
Many years ago teams would come onto the field before we opened the T but they stopped doing that when they realized the intimidating thunder when the Vols run through the T. Coaches would intentionally keep the visiting team in the dressing room or tunnel until UT was on the field.
If you notice now that teams who have not played in Neyland are the ones who come onto the field before the T opens. That roar is intimidating.
