Pep band, students and alumni resurrect a UMES tradition

PRINCESS ANNE, MD -- The once popular UMES Homecoming Parade that had disappeared during the past few decades will be resurrected this Saturday featuring the campus' new pep band.

University officials originally planned to keep the parade small and limited to campus, but recently changed the route to go through downtown Princess Anne after student and alumni groups signed up to participate, said Kimberly Dumpson, director of Alumni Affairs and planned giving at the university.

"The parade has taken on a whole new life," she said. "It's really turned into something bigger than what we thought."

At the center will be the pep band, which will turn into a marching band for the occasion.
