Emanons well received during winter term tour by Jo Craven Winter term at Elon Col lege means different things to different students. Some choose to attend the mini term, while others elect to stay home and work or relax. However, a select group of Elon students pass ed up both of these otpions to instead travel and per form on a tour extending from Washington, D.C., all the way to Florida. The group, of course, was the Emanons Band led by director Jack White and associate director David Bragg. “The two of us groove the band,” says White, referring to Bragg and himself, and apparently the band con ducts the same excitement to the audience with matching success. The Emanons were able to afford the tour with the aid of donations and the sup port of the college. Good will and hopes of recruiting new students provided rea sons for the tour, as well as the benefit of the learning experience to the band mem bers. White describes the tour as “very successful. The Emanons were well received, and the big band sound caught high school students; it was tremendous”. Along with the big band and jazz sounds, this year the Emanons also featured popular hits of today. A few of these are “Celebra tion” by Kool and the Gang; Diana Ross’ “Why Do Fools Fall In Love;” “Let’s Groove” by Earth, Wind, and Fire; and the Commadores’ “Lady.” Susan Coimer, SueHoggard, Steve Roberson, and Anthony Turner provided vocals for these tunes. The Emanons delivered concerts to twenty-six high schools, a total of about 30,000 - 31,000 Students, and never missed a standing ovation.

The band also participated in high school band clinics and play ed for ditmer and dance parties. Other highlights of the tour for the ban were per formances in the Luau Room of the St. Petersburg Hilton and at Disney World. This marked the tenth year that the Emanons have play ed at Disney World. “The set was absolutely beautiful,” sajg White of the Tomorrow Land Amphi theater, a specially designed set that Disney has for acts like the jazz band. “This was the largest crowd we have played for. It was 85 degrees, and the place was packed!”. The drawing power of the Emanons surprised even White at one point: “We performed at the Fortune Cookie Disco on a Monday, which is usually a slow night. The place sold out, and there was standing room only;everyone was surpris ed.” During the entire tour, the Emanons missed only one performance. In Silver Springs, drummer Ricky Murray was ill, but the group was back in full force before long. “The kids took it right in stride,” says White. “It always amazes me; our stu dents can play for a homon- gus crowd and take it like professionals.” Although recruiting was a large reason for the tour, White pointed out perhaps the greatest benefit of the tour-the learning experien ce.
