BET Marches to a New Beat With Debut of SEASON OF THE TIGER Thursday April 27 at 9:30 PM ET/PT

STUDIO CITY, Calif., April 7 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: The visceral sound and fury of Grambling State University
comes to life in SEASON OF THE TIGER, a docu-drama that
explores student athletes and musicians as they strive
for excellence, carrying on the Tigers' tradition of
greatness. The marching band and the football team ...
this is a powerful marriage where one is not whole
without the other. For the kids, it's a long, tough road
that leads to game day each week and they will do
whatever it takes to be the best and win. Like the
movies "Drumline" and "Friday Night Lights," the glory is
hard-earned whether it means taking hits on the football
field or enduring grueling practice sessions for the
band. The "Greatest Show on Earth" is redefined when the
most successful football team in history and their famous
marching band take the field.

SHOW PREMIERE: Thursday, April 27, 2006

SHOW
SCHEDULE: Thursdays, 9:30 - 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT) - Six episodes
