Emanons Of Elon The Emanons of Elon College per- formed for the pleasure of many across the eastern United States dur- ing their 1976-77 season. They showed their talents at the second annual Pops Concert, an early seasonal success. During January of 1977, the Emanons were the guest band for the National Brass Conference for Scholarships in New York. During this performance, four of the United States’ top [azz artists performed with the Emanons in a salute to the late Bobby Hackett. The Emanons plan to compete in the College Jazz Festival at Chapel Hill in the spring. Upper: Sandy Griffin solos during Parent’s Weekend.

Most No one could dis- pute that the Elon showband is the most colorful, cre- ative band in the Carolinas. Led by the talented and innovative Jack White the band never ceases to come up with a new, unique show for every home game halftime show. Lots of time, hard work, and dedication goes into each band performance. In addi- tion to the band’s halftime shows it is also one of the leading cheering sections at each game. The band members present a formal concert each year also. The Elon band is renowned for its versatile and original performances. The reason for their excellence lies in one and a half hour practices every Monday. Wednesday, Friday which the band members attend. Band members are pushed to perfection by Jack O.'s perseverance and temperance. Band musicians also become accustomed to Saturday morning practices whenever a new halftime show is to be displayed. The marching band leaves for home football games at 12:30, much earlier than most spec- tators. They march onto the field in very untraditional uniforms made up of checkered pants, berets, and windbreakers. That is unless of course they decide to put on a costume party for the fans which they did at the last regular season home game. On that occasion the band entertained spectators by playing kazooes and having band director White arrested for murder before everyone’s eyes. The band succeeded in gaining spectator attention and thoroughly entertaining the crowd that day. But the band assumes a different air once a semester by having a concert. It is during the concert that the band really shows its musical talent and ability. Mr. White draws the professionalism from his band members on these occasions. The band concerts are well received by the community and students. Band Members: lane Jeffress, Cathy Rhodes, Meri Ford, Jill Bennett. Carol Chudina, Sally Peach.
