ELLISVILLE – Vibrant, flashy, creative and booming may best describe this years’ performance of the Maroon Typhoon Marching band at Jones College. Director of Bands, Dr. Burge said the look and the sound of this year’s band will have more brass and a lot more “flash.”
“We’re not going to look like a military band this year. We’re adding color. The costumes will have dark purples, lilac and reds accented with digital vests,” said Burge. “Everything fits the ‘dreamy’ theme of the show, ‘What Dreams May Come.’”
Musically, the soft, wistful, ballad by Selena, “Dreaming of You” will feature soloists and the Touch of Gold dancers before Van Halen’s hit, “Dreams” pushes the audience into the next phase of the show. Pops of “metallic” costuming and the heavy rock ballad by Metallica, “Enter Sandman,” build-up to the show finale’ and the big production number by the Eurythmics, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These).”
“The big production number is usually in the middle but we’re saving it for the end. We’ll have a big, loud, closing statement,” said Burge while also noting the composition of the band will be noticeable. “With 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.”
Dr. Burge is joined by Associate Director of Bands and 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.
“This staff has endured in spite numerous personal tragedies last year especially, with some still battling, like Lora’s 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,” 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.
