http://www.pedestrians.org Each year at reunions, Princeton University alumni march with their class in the P-Rade. The P-Rade route goes through the center of campus, starting at the north end near Nassau Hall, and ending up at reviewing stands with Princeton University President Eisgruber at the grassy fields south of the dormitories. In 2015, the P-Rade was led by the 25th reunion Class of 1990, followed by the Old Guard Class of 1935. The P-Rade is a family event, with alumni accompanied by their spouses, children, and grandchildren. Class costumes make imaginative use of orange and black. This video is shorter than the actual P-Rade, which can last more than 3 hours, so many alumni who were present will not be seen. In addition, the marching bands accompanying the major 5-year reunion classes are not shown to avoid issues with copyrighted music on YouTube. Some people imagine that the P-Rade may contribute to a temporary shortage of golf carts on the East Coast over the weekend. #PrincetonReunions Taped May 30, 2015.
