The parade might be on school property, and viewable from where you are, but unless you're in the parade, it can't possibly be argued that you're "on the grounds" where the event is taking place.

This event is not really "tailgating". It would be more correct calling it "boulevarding" if your were going to attach a name to it. It is a homecoming event ,and it takes place on school grounds. Food, activities, tables, chairs, decorations etc. etc. are all primarily provided by the school(probably 90%). In addition it is an "open house" event for the school and a great deal of money is spent by the school in advertising to provide awareness of the event.

But, it's over now. It was fun for all, there was plenty of security, and no-one that I know of had to defend their life. Hope you ended up going.

This event is not entirely sponsored by the school, but there is plenty of school sponsorship and support. In addition it is a private school and it takes place on their grounds for the most part(minus the public right of ways), so, it is more or less a school function. Leave it at home or in the car and come anyways, there are usually plenty of armed officers on duty and you will have a great time.
