The 2026 RockN’5L Back Number Ceremony Venue has been nailed down and the contract is being signed! Be sure to follow the event page for more details as we get closer!
⭐️✨ SOME MOMENTS ARE BIGGER THAN A BACK NUMBER. ✨⭐️
All year long, they’ve chased more than a time on a clock or a score on a board.
They’ve chased a dream.
Through the dust.
Through the mud.
Through the wins that made them feel ten feet tall and the losses that taught them to get back up.
They’ve tightened cinches, climbed in chutes, backed in boxes, crossed timers, missed catches, made catches, knocked barrels, left them standing, celebrated personal bests and learned that sometimes the hardest thing a cowboy or cowgirl can do is simply try again.
And now… they’ve made it here. ❤️
🎬⭐️ THE 2026 ROCKN’5L WALK OF FAME ⭐️🎬
Back Number Ceremony
📅 Friday, November 20, 2026
⏰ 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6pm)
📍 GEM Theatre
114 N. Wall Street • Calhoun, GA
On this night, the arena lights will be traded for theatre lights.
The dirt will be traded for a red carpet.
And the contestants we have watched work their hearts out all season long will become the STARS OF THE SHOW. ⭐️
One by one, they’ll receive that finalist back number and finalist vest!
To someone else, it may look like just a number.
But we know better.
That number represents every mile traveled, every practice, every entry fee, every nervous prayer behind the alley, every parent and grandparent cheering from the stands, every friend who became family and every time they chose to keep going.
They earned this night.
So we’re going to make it one they’ll remember. 💙

✨ And just enough Dolly sparkle to remind these contestants to ALWAYS dream big.
Because long after the buckles tarnish, the horses retire and the times on the leaderboard are forgotten…
they’ll remember how this felt.
They’ll remember walking through those theatre doors.
They’ll remember hearing their name.
They’ll remember holding that back number in their hands and knowing…
I MADE IT. 🥹❤️
So parents, take the pictures.
Grandparents, cheer a little louder.
Contestants, soak in every single second.
You only get to be this age, with this horse, with these people, chasing this dream once.
And on November 20th, we’re going to make sure every one of our kids knows that at RockN’5L…
YOU don’t have to be famous to be a star. ⭐️
As Dolly reminds us,
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”
Our contestants have spent a season showing us exactly who they are.
Now it’s time to ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET AND LET THEM SHINE. ✨⭐️🤠
🎬 The road to Finals ends here.
❤️ The memories made here will last forever.
