This contest has a Preliminary competition in the afternoon (we are scheduled to perform at 3:00) and then finals (top 10 bands) start at 6:30pm. We will not know what time we perform in finals until the top 10 bands are announced. Ticket prices for Preliminary round are $8, Finals are $10, and a combination pack for both is $15. The Overton Booster Club will be providing a Spaghetti supper for $5 for anyone who wishes to eat there. They also have an area designated for tail gating for $5.

Siegel Band Boosters will once again be taking ticket orders for Contest of Champions, which will be held on October 31st at MTSU. Tickets are reserved seating and are purchased as a block of tickets. We only purchase the number of tickets that are ordered.

Orders are being taken now and will continue through October 2nd (the Siegel/Blackman football game). The boosters purchase the combo tickets (preliminary and final tickets) located in the chairback section of the stadium. The price of the combo is $27.00 per ticket. To place your order, please give Carol Rozell your check made out to the Siegel Band. She will be located at the tower during the last hour of band practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you choose to wait, you will not be able to sit with the Siegel group. This will be the final competition of the 2009 marching season. We look forward to having a large group of supporters!
