Tiger Talk Episode 87 10/01/2019

In episode 87, host Will Kollmeyer welcomes not one but two members of the Division of Fine Arts to the podcast. In the first segment of this TigerTalk podcast, director of Campus Country Chris Dunn stops in to talk about the group's first Showtime of the year on Thursday, October 3 in the Seth Pounds Auditorium. Dunn introduces listeners to the 23-song setlist for the initial Showtime as well as talks about where the title track for the Showtime "The House that Built Me," comes from and how it felt to know that the title track was named "Song of the Decade," by the Academy of Country Music after the group had already chosen it for the title track. Dunn also introduces fans to a couple of the new band members -- including a steel guitar player and also a brother-sister combo that has decided to both be part of Campus Country. In the second half of the podcast, director of bands Bryan Mitchell gives listeners insight into the 37th annual Northeast Regional Marching Band Championships that will happen at Tiger Stadium on Saturday, October 5. Over 20 schools are slated to perform in either the Ratings or Caption portion of the competition with the winner walking away with a huge six-foot trophy. Mitchell also talks about what the Showband from Tigerland has been up to during the marching season including the Battle of the Bands with Itawamba Community College last Thursday night and preparing the nearly 300-person marching band for parade season in just a few weeks. Between the segments, Kollmeyer gives a rundown of events that are happening in the next 10 days and also mentions a few events to be on the lookout for later in the month.
