The UT Marching Band will travel between five downtown businesses Friday, Sept. 25, beginning at 9 p.m. in advance of the Rockets’ game against Arkansas State Saturday, Sept. 26, at 7 p.m. in the Glass Bowl.

Last week, Ye Olde Durty Bird, Ye Old Cock n’ Bull and the Blarney Irish Pub hosted pop-up pep rallies as a way to bring Rocket spirit downtown and show support of Toledo’s game against Iowa State.

Members of the UT Marching Band and the UT cheerleaders went downtown last week for pop-up pep rallies.
