Winston-Salem talents to
march in Rose Bowl Parade
SPKCIAL rOTHl CHROSICl I
North Carolina Central
University's Marching Band,
better known as the "Sound
Machine," has been chosen to
perform in the 2011 Rose
Bowl Parade on New Year's
Dav in Pasadena. Calif.
Twelve members of the
band hail from Winston
Salem. The majority of them
are graduates of Parkland
High School, which has been
a consistent pipeline for col
leges in the area looking for
students who have both
strong musicianship and
marching abilities. NCCU
was fortunate to be in a posi
tion to offer band scholar
ships to several of these stu-x
dents from our city.
The Winston-Salem
Alumni Chapter of NCCU is
excited about this opportunity,
for the students to showcase
their musical prowess and put
their alma mater on the
national map.
"This will go a long way
in assisting our efforts to
recruit students and raise
money and awareness for our
beloved university." says
Christopher Martin, chapter
fundraising chair and second
generation alum. "Each year,
we make a concerted effort to
get our alums involved in
giving back through recruit
ing. community service and
fundraising. Every dollar we
raise goes towards two local
scholarships to support young
people from our city who
desire to attend NCCU."
NCCU Chancellor
Charlie Nelms has stated
publicly that the Rose Bow l
Parade trip will require a
massive fundraising effort.
He hopes that the notoriety
and exposure will attract
donors to offset the estimated
expense of $400,000. This
calculation is based on 2(H)
band members at S2.<XK) dol
lars per person, some new
instruments, uniforms, food,
lodging and travel.
The Winston-Salem
Eagles taking part are:
Zachary Torrens. a junior
majoring in music education,
who is one of the drum
majors. Joining him will be
other Parkland Class of 2008
graduates: Olivia Howard, a
junior who plays the clarine;
Jessica Martin, a junior who
plays the flute; Dauvan
Martin, a junior who plays
the alto sax; Letitia Harris, a
junior trombone player: and
LaReisha Glenn, a junior w ho
plays the trumpet. Asia
Martin, a freshman who plays
percussion: and Antawan
Fra/ier. a sophomore who
plays the French Horn, are
also Parkland grads.
Non-Parkland graduates
from the city who will march
in the parade are: Ken
Crockett, a sophomore on the
drumlinc; Phylicia Twitty, a
senior majorette: Beni Harris,
a freshman trombone players:
and Charles Troutman, a
sophomore who plays sousa
phone. Jorim Reid has been
the band director for the last
eight years.
"What a fantastic way to
usher our school into the next
100 years and Division I sta
tus." beams Sylvia Squire,
NCCU class of 89" and local
alumni president. "We are
going to help the university,
students and their parents
raise the necessary funds.
This is such a worthwhile
cause and we will be looking
for individuals and business
es in this community to help
send the local kids strutting
and high stepping like only
an HBCU can do."

Scouts selling popcorn this month to raise funds
SPECIAL TO THl C'HROMCl I
Cub Scouts and Bov
Scouts across Northwest
North Carolina have intro
duced a new lineup of Trail's
End popcorn products for
their annual fundraiser.
Since 1480. Americans
have generously supported
Scouting with their purchas
es of Trail's End microwave
popcorn and ready- to-eat
popcorn treats. The Trail's
End popcorn sale is integral
in helping to pav for local
Scouting programs here in
Northwest North Carolina.
The partnership with Trail's
End is great because of the
enormous return Scouts
receive on their sale, with
more than 70 percent of the
purchase price going to fund
local Scouting.
. This vear's fundraising
sale occurs during the Boy
Scouts of America's lOOth
anniversary, and will run the
entire month of October. The
new Trail's End products are
healthier, taste better, and
come in all-new packaging.
In addition, consumers will
get approximately 20 percent
more product than last year
without having to pay extra.
All of the ready-to-eat
products have beautiful new
packaging that's also better
for the environment because
less packaging waste ends up
in landfills. Traditional metal
canisters have been replaced
with re-sealable bags for
freshness. All of the Trail's
End packaging now displays
photos of Scouts and
describes the benefits of
Scouting to boys and to their
communities.
Consumers can once
again donate popcorn to U.S.
milit'an personnel. This is a
great opportunity to purchase
popcorn for the men and
women serving our country
and to support local Scouting
at the same time.
Supporting Scouting
year-round is simple and
easy: to do online at
w ww.trails-end.com.
Popcorn can be ordered on
the Web site and received
directly from Trail's End.
with Scouts still realizing the
great 70 percent return.
