Some classic tunes the band will be performing include, In the Stone<\/em>, Let\u2019s Groove Tonight, Boogie Wonderland, After the Love is Gone, <\/em>and September. <\/em>Bridges said this heartfelt homage to the past is also inspiring to a new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur mission is simple. Be the best band, produce the best sound and inspire the best students to continue the legacy at the best institution, 糖心直播!\u201d Bridges declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joining Bridges is Assistant Director of Bands and brass instructor, Kyle Matthees and Dr. Jared Potter who is also the percussion instructor. As a trumpet player, Matthees\u2019 experience includes symphonic, chamber, and commercial music, with performances at the International Trumpet Guild Conference, the National Trumpet Competition, and with ensembles such as the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the University of Southern Mississippi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Potter, a native of Kosciusko, Mississippi, holds both a Doctor of Musical Arts and a Master of Music in Percussion Performance from the University of Florida. While at UF, he served as the instructor of records for the Percussion Skills course, assisted with the UF Percussion Ensemble and Steel Band, and directed the Florida Drumline. He earned his Bachelor of Music Education from Mississippi State University, where he studied with Jason Baker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another new addition to the band staff is Glade Elementary School music teacher and JC adjunct music instructor and Colorguard Director, Lindsey Langley. With 15 years of experience in public education, Langley has taught music to students from pre-kindergarten through high school seniors, inspiring a love for the arts across all age groups. She has served as a band director and colorguard instructor, leading multiple Colorguard and Winterguard teams to state championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am excited to foster creativity and skill in our students. At Jones I will be bringing my passion for performance, teamwork, and excellence to the collegiate level,\u201d said Langley. Her academic achievements include a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Music Education from the University of Mississippi, a Master\u2019s degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, and a Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from William Carey University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Touch of Gold dance team is led by Lora Davis who begins her 36th year as choreographer of the group of talented ladies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be a part of continuing and building the tradition of the Touch of Gold dance team. This year, I have a small but energetic team, bringing lots of enthusiasm and hard work,\u201d said Davis. \u201cThey are also excited to be a part of the Typhoon, sharing in the tradition that several of their mothers and sisters shared as alumni.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leading the students on the field are returning Drum Majors, Chaz Welborn of Ellisville and Elisa Cook of Meridian who are both excited to begin the marching band season.<\/p>\n\n\n \u201cI think what the audience will love most about this show is the extravagant sound coming from our players\u2019 horns,\u201d said Cook. \u201cThe combination of Mrs. Bridges discipline, quality, and leadership with Dr. Potter\u2019s encouragement and Mr. Matthees organization, and all of their experience makes for an amazing and enjoyable opportunity to share our talents with the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n New to the JC team of drum majors is freshman, Laney Ingram of Raleigh who has loads of experience and enthusiasm. The band\u2019s first appearance on the field will be on Thursday, September 11, for the first home football game and Hall of Fame Night. The Bobcat football team will play against the Mississippi Gulf Coast Bulldogs in Bobcat Stadium\/Sim Cooley Field at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information about the Maroon Typhoon contact Tamiko Bridges by email at tamiko.bridges@jcjc.edu<\/a> or the Art, Music and Performance website, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/programs\/finearts\/<\/a> For more information about JC athletics and the home football schedule featuring the Maroon Typhoon\u2019s performances click on the JC Athletics website at https:\/\/jcbobcats.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 糖心直播 Typhoon Marching Band Roster 2025<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Name City High School County Instrument<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n James Davis Enterprise Enterprise HS Clarke Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Braxton Magee Collins Collins HS Covington Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joanna Fernandez-Pavon Moselle South Jones HS Jones Alto Sax <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stacy Villaseca Laurel Northeast Jones Jones Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tristan Allen\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Louin\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Raleigh HS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Smith\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Linsey Ingram\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Morton Raleigh HS \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Smith \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Edwin James Bay Springs Raleigh HS Smith Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aaron Mealey State Line Wayne County HS Wayne Alto Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abigail Graham Beaumont Perry Central HS Perry Bari Sax<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mykala Goodman Byram Terry HS Hinds Baritone<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sidney Patterson Seminary South Jones HS Jones Baritone<\/p>\n\n\n\n Halle Craven Ellisville South Jones HS Jones Baritone<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leia Espey Enterprise Enterprise HS Clarke Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria Gomez Collins Collins HS Covington Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanesha Magee Collins Collins HS Covington Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jennifer Portillo Collins Collins HS Covington Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zahmiya Estes Lucedale George County HS George Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anivea Thigpen Bay Springs Bay Springs HS Jasper Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seth Barlow Ellisville South Jones HS Jones Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mary Christian Ellzey Seminary South Jones HS Jones Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taylor Kitchens Seminary South Jones HS Jones Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kamiyah May Laurel Northeast Jones HS Jones Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zipporah McCurdy Heidelberg Northeast Jones HS Jones Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n John David Myers Ellisville South Jones HS Jones Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Edna Perez Ambrocio Morton Morton HS Scott Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lariza Hernandez Harrisville Mendenhall HS Simpson Clarinet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elizabeth Thomas Moselle South Jones HS Jones Clarinet\/Bass<\/p>\n\n\n\n Johnna Jones Mt.
