As a gift from The Kilties to the Racine and Kenosha areas and drum corps fans, tickets are again being offered at very low prices – $10 for each show (all general admission) with up to two children, 12 and younger, admitted free with a paid adult. Tickets for both shows are available now at www.kilties.com and will be available at local ticket outlets after June 15th. A special coupon for the free child admission is necessary and can be printed from this website.
