Outback Bowl Field Show Festival The Outback Bowl, which pits the Florida Gators against the Iowa Hawkeyes is at RayJay, so that means marching bands galore for the rest of us. On the day before the big game, several high school bands will compete for the chance to play the game’s official pregame show. The action kicks off at 6 p.m., and the show show is free, so you might want to arrive early. (Jefferson High School, Tampa) INFO
