I know you got this from the official site but I think they have their times wrong.

Kick off is 6:00 and the band begins marching at 5:20, that only leave 40 minutes to travel to the stadium. Considering pregame starts about 10-15 minutes before kick off, that's not alot of time for them as well as getting all the people outside the stadium in for the game.

I saw in another spot that the band will begin marching 1 hr 40 minutes before kickoff making it 4:20pm

4:20 sounds better... I didn't think was such a time gap between Vol Walk and the Pride marching down.
