Continue the Tradition, Honor the Carson Legacy
Be part of the Wall O’ Sound’s storied tradition and honor the legacy of former ECCC director of bands Thomas W. Carson, who dedicated his life to nurturing the talent and passion of countless students. His unwavering commitment to music education transformed our marching band into one of the finest in the state, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege to learn under his leadership.
With the completion of Carson Hall in 2022, a state-of-the art band facility, we are proud to continue his tradition of excellence. However, to ensure the ongoing success of our marching band, we need your support to meet the increasing demands for equipment and instruments.
You can help us carry on Carson’s legacy by purchasing a commemorative plaque for our Patron Wall. Each plaque costs just $100 and can be personalized with up to 16 characters per line, allowing you to honor someone special or commemorate your connection to our band. Each plaque accommodates up to four lines.
As we continue to grow and strive for excellence, your support is crucial in helping us maintain the high standards of our marching band and ensuring that future generations of students can experience the joy of music education. We cannot do this without the backing of our valued alumni and friends like you.
To purchase a plaque or for more information, please contact the ECCC Foundation Office at 601-635-6327 or email Dr. Stacey Hollingsworth, executive director, at sholling@eccc.edu.
Deadline to order is: June 2025
