An invitation to perform at the Valero Alamo Bowl halftime show puts your band in the heart of San Antonio, where history, culture, art, and commerce are revitalizing this legendary Texas town. The Alamodome, which seats 72,000, becomes the heart of the city in December as people pour into town for this major college bowl game. Be part of the action at the River Walk Pep Rally and cheer on the college bands as they battle it out on river barges. Plus enjoy an exclusive Awards Ceremony celebration at Pedrotti's Ranch. You’ll love meeting the university performers and the fans, and your visit to San Antonio will be one to remember!
