The Pride of the Southland Band, cheerleaders from UT Martin and UT Knoxville and the mascots from both schools, Captain Skyhawk and Smokey will make appearances at the event, which will feature several door prizes.

UT Martin Chancellor Tom Rakes, UT Knoxville Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and the University of Tennessee President Jan Simek will greet fans. UT Knoxville head men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl and Lady Vols head basketball coach and UT Martin alumna Pat Summitt will be special guest speakers.
