PRE-GAME SHOW
Miss America 2016 Betty Cantrell performs the National Anthem prior to the 57th AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
One of the great traditions of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl is the annual recognition and celebration of American patriotism during the Pre-Game Show. The field is filled with red, white and blue decorations and performers, as the AutoZone Liberty Bowl delivers a rousing, patriotic pre-game show featuring an extraordinary National Anthem performance.
During the Pre-Game Show, members of the Tennessee Air National Guard (TANG) escort Miss AutoZone Liberty Bowl and other Homecoming USA attendants onto the field. Each attendant is a Homecoming Queen who was invited to represent her community and state in this national program.
The winner of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl High School Marching Band Field Competition also performs during the pre-game festivities. The winning high school band will have competed in the Worldstrides Heritage Performance Programs field competition during bowl week which involved dozens of bands from throughout the United States vying for the opportunity to perform during the pre-game festivities.
Joining many performers on the field are honorary captains representing the AutoZone Liberty Bowl's valued corporate partners.
