ST. PETERSBURG – The Original Second Time Arounders Marching Band is hosting its fifth annual Chili Cook-off Saturday, Feb. 2, at Ferg’s Sports Bar and Grill, 1320 Central Ave.
Admission is $10 for all-you-can eat chili, prizes, and music. Proceeds support music education in the Tampa Bay area.
The Second Time Arounders marching band was founded in 1983 by Bill Findeison, the conductor, and Herb Melleney, then director of the Festival of States celebration.
With more than 500 members ranging in age from 18 to 84 and performing five to seven times per year, the band only requires experience in a high school, college, or military marching band.
