Today the Marching Virginians found themselves right back at the MVC gearing up for kickoff and their much-anticipated win! This past Saturday was Virginia Tech’s Spring Game, and this was a scrimmage that the football team opened up Lane Stadium for. A scrimmage is where a team goes up against itself, with half of the team vs. the other half of the team. None of us were exactly skeptical about winning our game, since it was Hokies against Hokies! We were so incredibly happy to be back together playing Tech Triumph, VPI Victory March, and many other beloved stand tunes. Read more to see which team WON the Spring Game, the Orange, or the Maroon Team!

The morning began with several early risers who volunteered to play in the Marching Virginians Pep Band for the VT Run in Remembrance in honor of the Virginia Tech shooting that took place on April 16th, 2007. Atlas, one of our wonderful Senior Staff Assistants, led the band down to the intersection between Washington Street and Beamer Way. We were able to play a lot of our favorite tunes while the runners and walkers passed us by!
The Spring Game this year was quite close, with the Maroon Team securing a win of 21-14 over the Orange Team. During Halftime, although the MVs didn’t perform, special awards were given to the football team in recognition of their performance during the 2023 season.
