Brandon Amphitheater, the city welcomes a distinguished group of sponsors, including C Spire, Miller Lite/Capital City Beverages, Community Bank, Brown Bottling Group, Bob Boyte Honda, Merit Health, Entergy, Ergon, and Cathead. As Brandon has developed all the amenities at The Quarry, the 250-acre park that houses the Brandon Amphitheater, community has been at the forefront – and sponsors took notice. “At Bob Boyte Honda, we’re all about community,” said Bob Boyte of Bob Boyte Honda. “We first opened our doors in Brandon in 2005, and we’ve been proud to call Brandon home ever since. Naturally, we’re all excited about the new Brandon Amphitheater. It’s going to be a fantastic venue for generations to come, not only for our citizens of Brandon, but through events like the concert series, it will draw people from miles around to come experience all that Brandon has to offer. What a big DEAL!” “Community Bank is honored to sponsor the VIP room area at the Brandon Amphitheater at The Quarry,” said Chuck Nicholson, President and CEO for Community Bank. “As the only bank with its headquarters in Rankin County, we are very excited to support the Amphitheater. We felt this was a great opportunity to give back to the City of Brandon.” Community Bank has 47 offices in four states (Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida) across the Southeast. City officials began laying out their vision in 2014 to bring about more tourism, recreation, and lifestyle improvements to Brandon. “The Board of Aldermen and I began brainstorming this idea years ago, and it took a lot of people to bring this to fruition,” said Brandon Mayor Butch Lee. “From the beginning, the city’s goal for the Brandon Amphitheater and The Quarry was to create a quality, family-centric atmosphere that will bring more economic growth and increase tourism to our city, as well as the state.” The Quarry will also include walking and biking trails, a dog park, and tournament-equipped baseball fields. The Amphitheater will offer a flexible capacity of 7,000 - 8,300, and is comprised of lower- and upper-level seating, box seats, as well as a state-of-the-art audio and video infrastructure, complete with LED video walls. There will be ample concession windows and beverage kiosks throughout the venue. The Community Bank Club is a private VIP club for Amphitheater sponsors and box seat holders.
