Anyone can enter their vehicle of choice, including an antique, low rider, Jeep, motorcycle or custom vehicle for $15 for a car, and $10 a motorcycle.

Registration will be held the day of the event. Concessions will also be offered, which include hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage dogs, chicken, French fries, kettle corn, fried Oreos and fried candy bars. All proceeds from the show and concession sales will cover the cost of dry cleaning the band member’s uniforms and pay for meals for the students while they travel to compete in the state competition, Espino said.

First, second and third place trophies will be presented in the categories of best in show for cars and motorcycles. An award will also be issued for the fan favorite, Espino said.
