well now i'm excited.

The University of Tennessee’s Pride of the Southland Band will bring an East Tennessee treasure to life on Neyland Stadium’s field on Saturday.
At halftime during the UT vs. Georgia game (3:30 p.m. CBS), the band will dedicate its show to Dolly Parton and perform some of her most famous songs including “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “I Will Always Love You” and “9 to 5.”
“I looked back through all the years ... the band has never done a tribute totally dedicated to Dolly Parton,” said Dr. Donald Ryder, UT’s Director of Bands.
“Since she’s such an East Tennessee treasure and this is her home and everybody loves her, I said ‘Why not?’ so I sat down and started thinking about show ideas, and basically it evolved into what I think’s going to be a very neat show.” (via)
i know the article says she's busy and won't perform, but i'm going to get every last one of my hopes up anyway.

joel: this is a real comfort dog.
