and Marching
'101' Band!
Over 101 years of excellence!!! Since 1896
This is where I received my degree in
Music Education - Instrumental. South Carolina State is a historically black
college that's been producing top notch teachers, businessmen, lawyers, doctors,
nurses, etc. for over 100 years. The school has provided me with experiences
that I will keep and use for a lifetime. College is what you make of it, and I
used my years at SCSU to the fullest extent. I recommend SCSU to anybody who
wants a good education in a nice community.
I am also a product of the Marching
101 band, one of the top bands in the MEAC. During my tenure (1995-1999), the 101
has consistently brought the heat to every band it has come in contact with. Through the 101, I have
seen performance by wonderful bands like Norfolk State University, Winston Salem
State University, Tennessee State University, and Alabama State University to
name a small few. I have learned to arrange under Ronald Sarjeant who is the
former SCSU Director
of Bands. I think he is one of the best arrangers in the nation and he will be
sorely missed by the band members as well as alumni. I
also had the honor of arranging a song for the 1999 Homecoming show. I also
studied the trombone and student taught under Tim Hinton Sr. who is the director
of bands at Orangeburg-Wilkenson High School. The 101 has produced numerous
music educators that are currently involved with music programs all over South
Carolina, Georgia, and Texas.
SCSU will continue to provided a positive medium for young
musicians to display their talents.
