Jones College鈥檚 Maroon Typhoon performs 鈥淒reams鈥�
ELLISVILLE 鈥� Vibrant, flashy, creative and booming may best describe this years鈥� performance of the Maroon Typhoon Marching band at 91猎奇.听 Director of Bands, Dr. Burge said the look and the sound of this year鈥檚 band will have more brass and a lot more 鈥渇lash.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檙e not going to look like a military band this year. We鈥檙e adding color. The costumes will have dark purples, lilac and reds accented with digital vests,鈥� said Burge. 听鈥淓verything fits the 鈥榙reamy鈥� theme of the show, 鈥榃hat Dreams May Come.鈥欌��
Musically, the soft, wistful, ballad by Selena, 鈥淒reaming of You鈥� will feature soloists and the Touch of Gold dancers before Van Halen鈥檚 hit, 鈥淒reams鈥� pushes the audience into the next phase of the show. Pops of 鈥渕etallic鈥� costuming and the heavy rock ballad by Metallica, 鈥淓nter Sandman,鈥� build-up to the show finale鈥� and the big production number by the Eurythmics, 鈥淪weet Dreams (Are Made of These).鈥�
鈥淭he big production number is usually in the middle but we鈥檙e saving it for the end. We鈥檒l have a big, loud, closing statement,鈥� said Burge while also noting the composition of the band will be noticeable. 鈥淲ith more instruments, like 25 trumpets and 17 trombones in the nearly 200-member band, the Maroon Typhoon will blow you away by the end of the show.鈥�
Dr. Burge is joined by Associate Director of Bands flute instructor, Dr. Lindsey Keay in her sixth year, first-year percussion instructor, Dr. Josh Frans, along with high-brass instructor Dr. Patrick Richards, who has been assisting the band for nine years. Additionally, woodwinds instructor, Michelle Graham has been an adjunct instructor for the last two years. The JC flag-spinning colorguard group is under the direction of Juna Broome who celebrates 27 years at Jones. Lora Davis has been the Touch of Gold dance team choreographer and director for 26 years. Every JC band director is an incredible musician, but they are also amazing people enduring through personal challenges to bring the best to Jones students, every day.
鈥淭his staff has endured in spite numerous personal tragedies last year especially, with some still battling, like Lora鈥檚 son Justin is battling cancer. They are human beings, great people to work with and through the tears, they make a huge impact on our band kids. These directors are the best possible role models,鈥� said Burge.
Upcoming performances of the Maroon Typhoon include the first home football game, Thursday, September 12, with the Bobcats facing the Hinds County Eagles at 7 p.m. in Bobcat Stadium/Sim Cooley Field. Maroon Typhoon Alumni are also encouraged to attend Homecoming festivities on Saturday, October 5. For more information about the Jones College Fine Arts Department, contact 601-477-4203.

Wet walk on 1st day of classes at 91猎奇
ELLISVILLE 鈥� The rainfall Monday created a wet walk for Jones College students on the first day of fall semester classes.听 While many students brought umbrellas and rain ponchos, some choose to embrace the elements. Inside Jones Hall, the Alumni and Foundation Office passed out lemonade to brighten students鈥� first day of classes while also assisting students looking for their classes.
Jones College鈥檚 Maroon Typhoon dancers & colorguard living their 鈥渄ream鈥� season
ELLISVILLE 鈥� Just like our dreams don鈥檛 become reality without work, the Jones College Maroon Typhoon Touch of Gold dancers and colorguard are working hard on their 鈥渄ream鈥� season. The half-time performance centers around the dream theme with songs like 鈥淓nter Sandman鈥� and 鈥淪weet Dreams (Are Made of This)鈥� with more brass and woodwind instruments on the field compared to recent years. Sophomore Touch of Gold captains, Riley Gavin and Holly James of Ellisville, realize with fewer dancers on the field, they will be more noticeable.
鈥淲e may have a smaller group, but we will continue the tradition of putting on a great show,鈥� said Gavin. 鈥淲e are hoping to make this an extra special season because this will probably be my last year of dance in college.鈥�
Colorguard captains, Annabelle Bryant and Gina Dossett, both of Ellisville, and Lauryn Jemison of George County are also adjusting to a smaller group to work with this season. Twenty-four flags will be twirling under the direction of these experienced ladies.
鈥淲e鈥檝e been together at South Jones for several years,鈥� said Dossett. 鈥淲e know what to expect from each other and we work well together.鈥�
Bryant added, 鈥淲e鈥檙e excited to continue the marching season at Jones because we have a really neat show. It鈥檚 very colorful.鈥�
Director of Bands, Dr. Ben Burge said he is proud to have these accomplished leaders and performers in the band.
鈥淪tudent leaders in the band program are integral to the success of our organization. We are very proud of these young ladies. They all bring a wealth of experience and talent to their respective groups and have represented Jones College in a variety of ways on campus while serving in the band program.鈥�
