Our performance time is 3 PM CST, 4 pm at Purdue.   Remember Purdue is on Eastern!!!!

We will be watching the performance at 6 pm EST, and then loading the buses and heading home.  While we can’t predict the departure exactly, I would estimate our arrival home between 9 and 10 PM.

Students should bring money for lunch and dinner with them.  Food is available on campus for lunch, and we will grab food on the way home as well.
