Visitors
The Hartselle Band Booster organization welcomes guests to come enjoy the day with us at the Southern Hospitality Marching Festival.
Many talented bands will be performing. A schedule will be posted closer to the event date which will include the visiting bands and their performance times. This will allow you to be able to at least be sure you’re here when the band(s) you are interested in are performing. Since no coolers will be allowed in the stadium, we will be operating the concession stands. There will be plenty of choices for lunch, snacks, and even dinner.
Entry Fees
Adults: $7.00 | Students: $5.00 | Children 5 & Under: Free
