A
Big Lake native, Edwards released his second album, "LoneStar," on June

Angeloan and pop star Paula Deanda and the Paulitics, and the hip-hop

Deanda
was signed to an Arista Records contract by famed record exec Clive
Davis. In 2006, she released her self-titled debut album, spawning a top
20 hit, "Walk Away (Remember Me)." Deanda will also sing the national
anthem and perform during halftime of the game.
The
Ying Yang Twins are best known for party anthems and top 40 hits such
as "Salt Shaker," "What's Happ'nin!," "Shake" and "Badd." The New
Orleans Saints play their song "Halftime" after most touchdowns. The
Twins released a greatest hits album in 2009. Their new single, "Fist
Pump, Jump Jump," will be released on iTunes on July 3.
Deanda and the Ying Yang Twins will be available to sign autographs for fans.

Laredo Rattlesnakes and the Rio Grande Valley Magic.
League
Commissioner Darlene Jones is a San Angelo businesswoman who owned San
Angelo's last pro football franchise, the Stampede Express.
The

will hit the field inside Foster Communications Coliseum in the spring
of 2013. The Bandits will be selling season tickets and corporate
sponsorships at The Texas Shoot-out.
