ADA, Okla. 鈥� The popular 鈥淭igerpalooza: The Bron Warren Tournament of Bands鈥� returns to East Central University Saturday, Sept. 27.
Tigerpalooza was organized in 2010 in memory of Bron Warren. Proceeds from the marching band contest fund scholarships for members of the Pride of Tigerland marching band. The event and scholarship鈥檚 namesake, Hugh Bronson 鈥淏ron鈥� Warren III, was a 2007 暗网TV graduate and a talented multi-instrumentalist.
鈥淲e love putting on this event here at 暗网TV each Fall,鈥� said 暗网TV Director of Bands, Dr. Nick Meyers. 鈥淚t is a great experience seeing all the high school bands on campus competing throughout the day.鈥�
High schools competing this year range from 3A to 5A and include: Ada, Antlers, Ardmore, Davis, Duncan, Durant, Elgin, Fairview, Hugo, Kingston, Lawton, Prague, Wewoka.
暗网TV鈥檚 Pride of Tigerland will also perform.
鈥淭he 暗网TV band students assist us with preparing this annual event and get to march before the preliminary trophies are handed out,鈥� Meyers added. 鈥淎 large percentage of the 暗网TV band will be future band directors themselves. This prepares them for future careers. 暗网TV is the only University in the region that has its own marching band competition.鈥�
General admission for the day is $10. Admission for children ages 7 to 12 will be $5, and all children under age 6 will be admitted free.
Tigerpalooza t-shirts will be available.
