About this event

Four HBCU-style marching bands, one field. The Marching Golden Eagles host the band showcase of the season — full field shows, drumline battles in the end zone and a combined finale.

Hosted by

Ridgeview College Athletics

Home of the Ridgeview College Golden Eagles. Football at Ridgeview Memorial Stadium, basketball in the Golden Eagle Fieldhouse — and a marching band the whole conference comes to hear.
