Each year’s Homecoming calls for the return of all Marching Knights back to the kingdom. On October 26, 2024, our Knights will take on the BYU Cougars for a Big 12 battle.
Register for the Reunion
Registration for the Homecoming Reunion will be open from Aug. 16 to Oct. 1. Packages do not include admission to the game or the official MK shirt required to march on the field. Current UCF undergraduate students are not eligible to register for the reunion and will not be issued a refund.
Purchase Football Game Admission Tickets
The Marching Knights Alumni Chapter has a block of seats in section 134 available from Aug. 16 to Oct. 1 (via registration email) for attendees who need admission tickets to the game. Seats in section 134 are first come, first served. Season ticket holders may use their tickets for entry to the game and sit in their seats (and still perform halftime), however if they plan to play in the stands, they will need to purchase a ticket in 134.IMPORTANT NOTE: Only registered Performing MK Alumni will be able to purchase a ticket in section 134 (And those who opt for the “standing on the sideline” alumni). Guests will NOT be permitted to sit in this section this year and will need to find tickets on their own somewhere else in the stadium. You will only be allowed to purchase 1 ticket through our link, and our section will be “Open seating” even though you will be assigned a seat with your ticket.
Order Your Official MK Alumni Shirt
If you are marching the show at the homecoming game, you’ll need the official MK alumni shirt. Shirts need to be ordered by Oct. 1 to receive them before the game. If you already have an official shirt in good condition that appears in the store, you are not required to purchase another. If you did not receive the password via email, please message [email protected].
Get Sheet Music or Watch SK Routines
Sheet music, recordings, and Starlet Knight Color Guard, Dance, and Majorette routines are available at your convenience. If you did not receive the password via email, please message [email protected].
