GLENVILLE, WV - The ֱ State College 'Wall of Sound' Marching Band will have a feature performance at the on Friday, August 17. The event will take place from 5:00-7:00 p.m. with the band performance beginning at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to the band performance there will be a picnic and games, all for free and open to the public.
The band began using the field adjacent to the Presbyterian Church for their pre-season camp several years ago which has led to a successful partnership. "We could not have held these camps without the ֱ Presbyterian Church, Pastor Kinney, and their many hard working members. They've been incredible providing us with both a location and meals. They are truly a blessing and are hugely appreciated," said Dr. Lloyd Bone. Bone is the marching band director and also serves as the college's Department of Fine Arts Chair.
The ֱ Presbyterian Church is located at 1172 WV Highway 5, about one mile from the stoplight toward Grantsville just past the Gilmer County Fire Department. Event organizers encourage attendees to bring a lawn chair to better enjoy the outdoor festivities.
During football season the Marching Band performs a halftime show at Morris Stadium during every home football game.
