American Idol
finalist Tim Urban returns home to deliver a special performance to
fans
As
the Friday night lights warm up, the city of Duncanville, along with the
Duncanville Independent School District and the Duncanville Chamber of
Commerce, is preparing for the ultimate in football season openers.
American Idol Season 9 Top 7 finalist Tim Urban is returning home to
help kick off district play for Duncanville High School. He will sing
the national anthem and deliver a short home side halftime show as part
of the
Duncanville’s Urban Legend: Tim Urban event at the Friday,
September 3 game, featuring the DHS Panthers and the Garland HS Owls at
Panther Stadium.
Tim Urban recently
completed a nationwide tour as part of the American Idols LIVE! Tour
2010, and says he looks forward to returning to his hometown of
Duncanville. “I am deeply honored that the city I grew up in and have so
many amazing memories from wants to honor me.” Before the kickoff on
September 3, Duncanville Mayor David Green will issue a proclamation for
“Tim Urban Day”. “We’re excited to have him back home,” said Mayor
Green. “We want to celebrate Tim’s success and let him know that our
city stands behind him in all of his future endeavors.”
But Urban won’t be
the only attraction at the Duncanville High School season opener. The
nationally-recognized DHS Marching Band and High Hats will also deliver
a special halftime performance. Pre-game festivities include the
recognition of Duncanville ISD middle school football players, a DHS
choir performance, and an invitation-only Tailgate with Tim party. The
city of Duncanville and the Duncanville Independent School District are
holding contests for tickets to the tailgate party. Please stay tuned to
both websites for more information.
Tim Urban will also
be available to sign autographs at the stadium immediately following his
halftime performance. Tickets are on sale
online and at
Panther Stadium in advance, and at the gate on game night. Kickoff is at 7:30 pm.
Panther Stadium is located at 900 W. Camp Wisdom Rd., Duncanville
75116.
