Here's a bit about the event from their Web site:

The theme of this show, “Excellence through Competitive Eloquence”, aims to attract the finest and most enthusiastic high school steppers in South Carolina while promoting the value of education and the importance of academic prowess.

The Brown Derby Haberdashery aims to create a competitive platform where the value of education, hard work, and academic excellence will be highlighted by the participation of the motivated youth of this state. The ultimate goal is to open post secondary education, specifically going to a college or university, as a viable option after graduation from high school.

Doors open at 6:30pm and the show will start at 7:00pm.. Music for this event will be provided by The Spaced Invaders. Addition sponsorships provided by VIII EAST Graphics, The Spaced Invaders, and Suite Sole sneaker boutique.
