High School Bands Compete in Contest of Champions Oct. 25

MTSU’s Floyd Stadium will host the 53rd annual Contest of Champions on Saturday, Oct. 25.

The marching band contest is produced and directed by the men and women of the MTSU Band of Blue, and organizers declare a mission “where the important goal is not winning, but the discovery of the very best in each of us.”

High school bands from Tennessee and Kentucky are accepted to compete in the contest, and they are not charged a fee to participate.
