USSBA Easter Regional Championships

The band will be traveling to Carson Newman College, Finley Stadium, Jefferson City, TN this weekend to compete in the USSBA Eastern Regional Championships. The band will perform at 6:35 PM. Remember, get there early not only for a good seat, but also because once they are on the field, you will not be able to enter the stadium until after the performance is over. We would love to see you there to support our band!

October 17 and 18

I'm watching it rain and hoping this moves past us so we can have a wonderful fall weekend of band events. Tonight the Bearcat Band will perform at the football game in Abingdon. They take the field at 7 PM so don't be late as you don't want to miss the show.

Tomorrow, the band will head to Kingsport to compete in the Tennessee Valley Showcase. This will be a great opportunity for you to come see the band in competition. We hope everyone will come out and support the band as they have worked hard since July on their show, The Contender.

Pictures Available Online

After looking around a little, I was able to locate the pictures from Music In The Castle. I also found the ones from the V-T Game so you can check those out too. They are available for purchase. I am not promoting them by any means, however, I do want you to know they are available :-)

Fundraiser success!

A great BIG Thanks to those band members that took the time to attend Game Time at Highlands Fellowship on Sunday morning. The band received a generous donation for participating.

Photos from TN High Competition

Unfortunately, the usual photographer for the band was unable to attend the TN High Competition due to a family emergency. There have been several requests for pictures so if there is anyone that took pictures that would be willing to share them with us, please send them to vhsbearcatband@gmail.com. We are also accepting pictures from any and all band performances if you have them and would like to see them on the website. Please remember that photos are subject to approval by the directors.
