Concerts for everyone During the year a variety of concerts offers students many opportunities for an evening of fun. TRUTH, sponsored by BCM, showed scope in its performance and was well attended. Music ranged from disco to traditional, including some jazz influenced saxophone solos and presenting the relatively new sound of synthesized drum, plus the crowd's favorite — the tricycle horn.Truth was nominated for a Grammy and their Christmas album was distributed by Columbia. The Nickey Miller Benefit concert presented in Mason Hall in October included a medley of songs highlighted by some he wrote himself. Well known songs were Lady , If You Should Sail, and The Lady Is A Tramp. The Jimmy Church Revue, sponsored by SGA, played for the homecoming dance following the pep rally which featured the crowning of Miss Homecoming, Brenda Smith. In the music department concerts composed of student and faculty groups are numerous events that furnish entertainment for students and area citizens.

Parents Day — a success The second Annual Parents Day on November 15, coincided with the last football game of the season. As parents arrived on campus, they were met by their sons and daughters, given a tour of the campus, and escorted to Theron Montgomery Building where they enjoyed a hearty brunch before going to the game. Faculty members, deans, and administrative officials were on hand to help students entertain their mamas and papas. The alumni Association is responsible for establishing the Parents Day.
