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. High schools

where White recalls the most
memorable responses include
Virginia high ^hool in Bris
tol, Virginia; Halifax High
School in Halifax, Virginia;
and Naples High School in
Naples, Florida. 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.
