Nov. 6-7 MTSU Family Weekend Features Football, Fun


(MURFREESBORO) — Two opportunities to see “Ragtime,” the MTSU School of Music’s presentation of the Tony Award-winning musical, and the Blue Raiders’ home game against Florida International University are highlights of the Nov. 6-7 Family Weekend.
The Office of New Student and Family Programs coordinates all events.
“Ragtime,” starring Shawn Lewis and Scott Willis, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7, in Tucker Theatre, New Student and Family Programs coordinator Rob Patterson said.
Saturday’s events kick off at 11:30 a.m. with registration and a silent auction in Walnut Grove. While the silent auction is under way, the “Blue Raider Lunch, Tailgating and Fun” is set from noon to 2:30 p.m. in Walnut Grove and other activities are planned, Patterson said.
The Raider Walk, a pregame tradition, will be at 1:15 p.m. This will add to the excitement as the Blue Raiders prepare to tackle Sun Belt Conference rival FIU at 3:30 p.m. in Floyd Stadium.
Family Weekend gives participants a “wonderful opportunity to learn more about the campus and where your student’s college life is happening,” planners said.
