The Betsy Band is honored to host the

3rd Annual Elizabethton Classic Marching Band Competition.

October 26th, 2024

Elizabethton High School is located next to highway 321, less than 8 miles from I-26, outside of Johnson City.  Our small campus is set up for an easy flow, allowing for optional front ensemble, and visual/guard warm-up areas, and a prop staging area in addition to the main band warm-up areas.  There will be some construction this year to work around, but we will dedicate a significant effort to making sure that this event is still highest quality contest for our competing bands!

Our stadium seats 4000 on the home side and seating goes right down to the front sideline.  Bands of all sizes will sound amazing in our facility!  We are equipped with two concession stands, a massive parking lot for spectators, and are committed to making this a fantastic event for our competing bands!
