w Lllll esfcm Cart) { n <* Carolinian In Brief October 21, 1998 Volume 63, Issue 10 i v ft r $. i J u s if\dftftftndft 1 r nj s/i»dftr*t vnCft ■ "Pride of the Mountains" Representing in Atlanta by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor ATLANTA- This past weekend, the "Pride of the Mountains" Marching Band took their show on the road. The highlight of the weekend trip for the band was Sunday's performance. The Atlanta Falcons hosted the band for their game against the New Orleans Saints. All 220-band members were seated in the end zone seats during the game, and then performed for the more than 60,000 spectators on hand in the Georgia Dome. The performance in the Dome wasn't the band's first, however. For two years, WCU has gone "down south" to perform in the "Bands of America" exhibition. Western Carolina University Chancellor John W. Bardo made the trip down" with the band. He was very excited at what the trip could accomplish for the band and school. "This is a great opportunity for our band to show off what we can do," Bardo said. On Saturday night, the band traveled to Marietta, GA, to perform before approximately 9,000 band students at the 1998 Southern Invitational Music Festival at Sprayberry High School. According to band director Mr. Bob Buckner, the event gave the band an opportunity to show off their style, as well as to hand out about 1,500 pieces of literature to prospective band students. Buckner, a 1967 graduate of Western Carolina, wrote the drill, which is the maneuvering and marching of a band on the field, for the show. This year's show includes music of the "Godfather of Soul," James Brown. Songs such as "Living in America," "Down and Out in New York City," and "James Brown... Ye wo," are included in the show. "It'a major milestone for a band to be able to perform in that environment," Buckner said. "I've been in this business for 30 years and for us to go out and do something like that is really good for the band and the university." In addition to this, the band performs the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Carolina in the Morning." They also sing the WCU Alma Mater. One item about the "Pride of the Mountains" band that is very unique and interesting is the amount of work that is done by students. There are approximately 44 different students performing duties ranging from section leaders to equipment managers. Also, two students, Maruice Burgess and Matthew Chadwich, serve the band as the drum majors. Another distinguishing item about this band is its usage of electronics and electric instruments. The Pit" is the train of trailers that is pulled by the spirited purple tractor. This adds a different sound to a great band. The band will perform at the remaining home football games. They are also planning on going to Indianapolis on November 12-14 to do an exhibition. The exhibition will be held at the RCA Dome. It is the National Marching Band Championship. Close to 35,000 people will be in attendance. "They come from just about everywhere in the country for that competition," Buckner said. • more than 200-member Western Carolina Marching Band performed in front of60,000 I spectators at the Georgia Dome this past weekend. -photo by Daniel Hooker After Hours Apathy Forum Has Low Turnout -photo by Seth R. Sams No more that 10 or 12 people were present at any given time this past Thursday when Western After Hours sponsored their first Weekly Student-Faculty Dialogue. This open forum encourages everyone to come speak their opinions on any and all issues facing WCU faculty and students. The forum will be held every Thursday on the UC lawn from 12:30 until 1:30 pm. The forum will meet at the UC's 2nd floor lounge in case of rain. Apathy was one of the many subjects discussed at the inaugural forum.
