Tiger Stadium at Grim Park will be the host for the Four States Invitational Marching Contest on Saturday, October 24.

My son is in the 7th-grade band and they had their first concert of the season last night. I di ask if he had plans to march with the band in the future and he said he was ok with it. He is in the percussion section for the band.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only a limited number of band fans will be able to attend with each band. However, will have the opportunity to see the contest as it will be live-streamed via www.tigervision.org.
