Tiger Talk Episode 42 08/28/18

In this forty-second (42nd) edition of the TigerTalk podcast presented by Northeast Mississippi Community College, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes Northeast Director of Bands Bryan Mitchell to the podcast as he introduces one of the largest Showband from Tigerland in school history. Mitchell talks about how the band battles the summer heat and how the community has come together to rally around the band as they suffer in the Southern heat. Mitchell also talks about the 50-year anniversary with the Showband from Tigerland that happens in 2018-19 and about some of the alumni from the Showband from Tigerland -- including himself. Mitchell also gives listeners an insight into the Meet the Tigers event in the Dominos parking lot just off Second Street in Booneville. In the middle part of the podcast, Kollmeyer brings in middle reliever Richy Harrelson, the Tiger baseball coach, for a Field of Dreams update and how the facility will not only benefit the college but also the city of Booneville and the Prentiss County community as a whole. Jody Long, the Lady Tiger softball coach, comes on to close out the program with his thoughts on the Field of Dreams project and gives an insight into how it will affect his program and how it helps recruiting. Kollmeyer wraps up the podcast with a new addition to the publication -- an extended version of what is coming up on campus that details events happening on and around the Northeast campus in a daily breakdown.
