 ECSU's drumline band performed throughout this year's Fall Fest, much to the delight of PCC students. |
WINTERVILLE�Pitt Community College students took a break from the classroom this week to enjoy crisp, fall weather and the raucous beat of the Elizabeth City State University drumline. An impressive student turnout took part in Wednesday�s Fall Fest activities, which are organized each year by the college�s Student Government Association. In addition to the 15-member drumline, this year�s Fall Fest featured a variety of games, student club fundraisers, music by Kevin Howard (Top Dawg), and Parker�s Barbecue. LaTonya Evans, director of PCC�s Student Support Services program, arranged for the drumline�s performance, calling it �a great way to highlight the ongoing collaborative efforts between PCC and ECSU.� Ellard Forrester, Elizabeth City State�s band director, said prior to Evans� request, the university�s drumline band and never been asked to perform at a community college. �It was like playing for homecoming,� Ellard said. �I look forward to many more opportunities to collaborate with PCC, and I thank Ms. Evans for the invitation.�
