Tusculum Band program seeks instrument donations

As the dog days of August begin, students are returning to the Tusculum College campus, including members of the Pioneer Band who are at Band Camp the week of August 15. As the program grows, so does our need of additional instruments for our students. If you are cleaning out your attic, basement or spare room and find a musical instrument no one plays, consider that Tusculum College’s band program could utilize the instrument in its program.

The Pioneer Band Program at Tusculum College began in 2010, with the creation of the Pioneer Pep Band. The Pep Band became a much-enjoyed feature of the 2010 Pioneer football and basketball seasons, as the band performed at the Pioneer Club tailgate parties before each home football game and during pregame and half-time festivities.

A Concert Band, a Jazz Band and a Handbell Choir were formed in the 2010-2011 academic year as well, each having an opportunity to play at events and venues on and off the Tusculum College campus.

This fall the program adds a Marching Band with flag corps, and the program has grown to more than 50 members from the Tusculum community. And while, most have their own instruments, not all do, which is where alumni can help through donation of a musical instrument.

So, if you do have a good, used instrument, please consider donating it to the Pioneer Band. For more information or to donate an instrument, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at 423-636-7303.

Reviews for "The Witch and the Saint: Mythical Figures in Modern Society"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Witch and the Saint" by Matt Conaway. The premise seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with any of them. The plot felt disjointed and rushed, with major events happening without much build-up or explanation. Additionally, the writing style was choppy and awkward at times, making it hard to stay engaged with the story. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to others.

2. Sarah - 1 star - "The Witch and the Saint" by Matt Conaway was a complete letdown for me. The story lacked originality and felt like a rehash of countless other fantasy novels. The protagonist was a typical "chosen one" trope, lacking any real development or depth. The pacing was incredibly slow, with long periods of nothing happening followed by rushed action sequences. The dialogue was stilted and unrealistic, making it difficult to become invested in the characters. Overall, I found this book to be unoriginal, poorly executed, and a waste of my time.

3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "The Witch and the Saint," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The world-building was shallow and underdeveloped, lacking the richness and depth I look for in a fantasy novel. The plot was predictable, with little surprises or twists to keep me interested. The writing style was dull and lacked creativity, leaving me feeling bored and unengaged throughout the whole story. While the premise had potential, the execution fell flat, resulting in a forgettable read.

4. David - 2.5 stars - "The Witch and the Saint" by Matt Conaway was just okay for me. The concept was interesting, but the execution felt lacking. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. The characters had potential, but I never felt a strong connection to any of them. The writing style was average, neither particularly engaging nor poor. Overall, this book didn't leave a lasting impression on me and I wouldn't recommend it to others unless they're really into fantasy novels.
