WATCH LIVE: 43rd Annual Lubbock ISD Band Extravaganza tonight at 7:30 p.m. - KCBD

Every Lubbock ISD high school band will run through its contest halftime show, with middle school bands from across the district joining in too. Texas Tech's own Goin' Band from Raiderland is also on the lineup, giving the evening some extra firepower alongside the younger performers still working their way up. The night builds to a grand finale when every high school and middle school band takes the field together at once.

That kind of scale doesn't happen anywhere else in Lubbock all year, dozens of ensembles and hundreds of student musicians sharing the same turf for one closing number.

For band families, this is the payoff after months of after-school rehearsals and Friday night contest runs. It's also one of the few nights parents from Coronado to Monterey to Estacado can watch every program at once instead of driving to separate games. Fans who can't make it to PlainsCapital Park can catch the whole thing live on Fox34 News Now, with KCBD's James Eppler hosting alongside guest Maestro David Ch.

One field, four high schools, every middle school feeder program, and a college band, all playing the same night.
