Baldwin County Band Jamboree is Tuesday in Spanish Fort

Posted

SPANISH FORT, Ala. — One of the best things about high school football in Baldwin County, aside from the exciting games and rivalries, are the marching bands.

Baldwin County is home to some of the state’s best bands, from Foley’s Mighty Band from Lion Land to Daphne’s Sound of the Eastern Shore to Gulf Shores’ Pride of Pleasure Island.

Every Friday night fans of Baldwin County’s teams get to see those marching bands perform, but on Tuesday at 6 p.m. on the Hill at Spanish Fort fans will have the chance to see all of them performing in one place.

The Baldwin County Band Jamboree will feature all seven of Baldwin County’s public high school bands performing their halftime shows.

As an added bonus, the University of South Alabama’s marching band will perform from 8:20-8:40 p.m. to cap off the night.

The jamboree, which is free, is a great way to show support for our county’s bands and hear some awesome music.
