Game Day!! Go Pack!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the (American) football season is underway! After the World Cup in Brazil and the All-Star Game break for MLB, the NFL and NCAA football season have kicked off and students and fans await the big games of the season. Here at NC State, the Band, Dance Team, Cheerleaders, and Football team have all been getting ready for this moment: the season opener. Last year, a young Wolfpack did everything they could against the already-seasoned ACC powerhouses. This year, experience will hopefully bring the Wolfpack back to a Bowl game.

Tomorrow will not be an easy performance for anyone, as the temperatures are supposed to be almost as hot as they have been all summer. The high temperature is forecasted for around 90-91 degrees, but in Carter-Finley Stadium it could get into the upper 90s or even reach triple digits. BUFKIT is showing the high temperature at 4:00 pm to be around 33 degrees Celsius which equates to around 91 degrees Fahrenheit so tomorrow is going to be a hot one.



The temperature around kickoff for NC State tomorrow will be around 84 degrees with around 70% humidity. The temperature with the humidity will feel more like the mid 90s.

Unfortunately for us in the band, there will not be much wind tomorrow. Just around a 5 mph breeze from the South. Those cotton uniforms will be "Hot! Hot! Hot!" Fortunately there should be some fair-weather cumulus clouds forming throughout the day for some occasional relief.

Advice for tomorrow:

1. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after tailgating and the game.
2. Be sure to get in the shade intermittently throughout the game
3. Wear some sort of sunscreen, chap stick, or skin protection
4. Bring your game face and get ready to yell!
