Admission is $5. Children under 12 are free. All proceeds will go to the Justin Teasley Memorial Scholarship, which is given to students based on financial need.

Teasley, of Crystal Springs, died in 2016 at the age of 31. The Copiah Academy and Deltas State University graduate, who was a pilot for Delta Express Jet, had a passion for Christian music and enjoyed playing the drums. At his death, his family requested that memorials be made to an endowed scholarship at Brookhaven Music as well as Delta State’s commercial aviation program.
