ELLISVILLE 鈥� Jones College鈥檚 2021-22 Maroon Typhoon Marching Band is ready to blow fans away with a 鈥淪tyleish鈥� show this fall. Being fortunate to finish a week of band camp after having it canceled last year, the approximately 160 members endured the Mississippi heat fine-tuning their technical and marching skills. Director of Bands, Dr. Ben Burge is thrilled with the group鈥檚 accomplishments after an intense week of drills.
鈥淭his group of resilient, young people has been a joy to work with during Band Camp,鈥� said Burge. 鈥淐OVID-19 has impacted them in so many ways. I am glad we were able to get through this very important week of training with almost everyone! I am hopeful we will be able to continue to provide a wonderful college experience for them at Jones. They have already proven to be very flexible and very hardworking. I am looking forward to showing the Jones family what they can do!鈥�
Sophomore Morgan Breland of Ellisville is especially happy to be able to participate in Band Camp this year. The South Jones High School graduate enjoyed her time on the Bravette dance team and was looking forward to coming to Jones College her freshman year before everything was canceled. This year, she almost missed out again because the COVID-19 virus kept her isolated just before Band Camp.
鈥淎lthough COVID-19 guidelines have strongly impacted our normal activities, we have made the best of the situation. I recently battled COVID-19 myself and have worked hard to get my body prepared for our recent Band Camp. Although the days were hot and tiring, we were all proud to be back at 91猎奇. It takes all of us giving 100%,鈥� said Breland.
Realizing many students did not get to complete their high school band experience and have missed out on so many normal and traditional experiences because of COVID-19, Burge said band members are grateful for the opportunity to perform again.
鈥淭hey have missed out on so many normal and traditional experiences
because of COVID-19. With the protocols in place at 91猎奇, I am hopeful COVID-19 won鈥檛 interrupt our performances this fall,鈥� said Burge.
This year鈥檚 鈥淪tyleish鈥� half-time show features the music of entertainment icons Harry Styles and Billie Eilish. The show begins with, 鈥淣o Time to Die鈥� from the 007 blockbuster movie by the same name. The nine-member Touch of Gold dance team will be featured in 鈥淕olden鈥� by Harry Styles and again in the pregame show to the 1968 chart-topper, 鈥淏end Me Shape Me鈥� by the American Breed. The Percussion section and the weapon line are highlighted in, 鈥淵ou Should See Me in a Crown.鈥� The show ends with the One Direction hit, 鈥淪teal my Girl鈥� and 鈥淏ad Guy.鈥�
JC Sophomore, Emma Burge of Oak Grove will lead the band as Drum Major, joined by sophomore Genna Ramey of Leroy, Alabama and freshman, Cambry Holiefield of Laurel-Northeast Jones. Also guiding the Maroon Typhoon in her eighth season is Assistant Director of Bands and flute instructor, Dr. Lindsey 
Keay, with percussion instructor, Dr. Josh Frans in his third year, and woodwinds instructor, Michelle Graham beginning her fourth season at Jones. Joining the staff as brass instructor, is former Marine Band member, Caleb Owenby. Lora Davis, the Touch of Gold choreographer/advisor, and 1989 Jones alumna, returns for her 30th season.
鈥淚 appreciate the opportunity to continue to be able to do what I love and offer scholarship opportunities for dance students,鈥� said Davis. 鈥淩eflecting on all the band camps over the years, the big trips to perform in parades in Chicago, Dallas, New York City and Washington D.C., I have fond memories of the students, their families and the chaperones who have helped over the years. I particularly remember, Willie and Joyce Rigdon, who recently passed. They were a precious couple who poured into students for decades, including me.鈥�
Breland said she began her love for dancing at Lora Davis鈥檚 dance studio in Ellisville, 14 years ago. The sophomore said she is especially excited to continue dancing for the former Saintsation and South Jones High School Bravette choreographer for one more year.
鈥淥ver the years, Lora has been a role model for me, as well as thousands of others. It has been a joy to continue to have her in my life at 91猎奇.听She sets high standards for Touch of Gold and spends a lot of time working with the team. I am looking forward to making memories and performing with the best band with the best directors around, JC Maroon Typhoon!鈥� said Breland.
