The East Central Community College Wall O’ Sound Marching Band is shown during rehearsals for its 2017 show which features a “Tribute to Memphis Soul.”
The 2017 East Central Community College Wall O’ Sound Marching Band will present a “Tribute to Memphis Soul” during this year’s halftime show of Warrior football games.
Director Ed Girling said the show will feature the music of Memphis’ Stax Records and includes hits by Issac Hayes, Booker T and the MGs, Eddie Floyd, The Bar Kays and Otis Redding.
“The tunes will be familiar to most of the audience and this show will be one big party!” he said.
The 2017 edition of the Wall O’ Sound features more than 125 musicians and auxiliary members from the college’s district of Leake, Neshoba, Newton, Scott and Winston counties, as well as other towns throughout the state. The band performs at halftime of all ECCC home football games. In addition, the full band will travel to Ellisville on Oct. 5 to perform at halftime of the East Central vs. Jones County Junior College football game. A 50-piece Pep Band will travel to all other away games.
